Bangladesh have handled short pitch bowling exceptionally against South Africa

[Bhaijaan]

They clearly saw this coming and seem to have done their home work.

Looked very confident and compact against short pitch stuff and scored a lot of runs on it.

Well done.

Something for other Asian Bloc teams to learn from.

 

[Bhaijaan]

They are effortlessly pulling anything pitched short for fours and sixes.

South Africa on the other hand clearly lacking a Plan B.

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

I was also impressed how they handled being peppered with short balls constantly

 

[Runner Up]

Medium pacers bowling short stuff. Easy to handle. The pitch looks better too. It is 350 runs pitch and runs on board will boost their confidence. I will wait and see how South Africans respond.

 

[Nado_]

Different pitch can’t compare.

 

[hussain.r97]

They have played it well, but it's a much easier pitch.

 

[shaaik]

Indeed they have but a pitch is a belter. No spongy bounce on this to begin with.

 

[Runner Up]

The last ball was 123km/h bouncer. Punished.

Bangladesh top order has shakib mushy tamim soumya who can play short ball much better than 95% of SC batsmen. Even better than our middle order

Haha. Against medium pacers.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Haha. Against medium pacers.

Rabada isn’t a medium pacer

 

[Cricket World]

Different pitch with less pace as mentioned by Mark Nicholas

 

[Executioner]

Haha. Against medium pacers.

Morris, Rabada, Lungi are medium pacers?

I would agree if you are shoaib akhtar

 

[Runner Up]

BD Fans: Did you see the speed of short stuff today?

 

[Hasan123]

They did indeed . South Africa over did the short stuff .

 

[light]

Haha. Against medium pacers.

Talk about silliness. Rabada is a medium pacer in which world? Is you ok?

You said clearly against medium Pacers. Clearly that means you're placing bowlers like rabada in that category. When trolling goes wrong ...

Why are you taking it very seriously? Are you a Bangali?

 

[big_gamer007]

They batted well. Kudos to BD batting they showed good intent

Lol what? Defending rabada made me a Bengali? Nah man , not bengali

 

[Itachi]

I dislike Bangladesh team. But they played well. Credit where it's due.

Dislike? That is a strong word. Why?

 

[dhump]

They played good, and positive cricket from the word go and then accelerated at the end wonderfully. If you compare the way, Pakistani batsman player short ball like all of them are some tail enders Bangladesh did supremely well.

 

[Executioner]

If Rabada Morris Lungi are medium pacers then I will stop watching cricket

 

[The Viper]

The pitch may have been easier but they still played short bowling very well. Sarkar in particular attacked the short ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This reminded me of how South Africa lost their test series against Srilanka. There also they focused on short stuffs and when they took it on they had no plan B.

 

[BD-fan]

This was the same pitch SA already played against England. Eng scored 311. We scored 330. Yes, Ngidi got hurt, but you have to consider Eng playing at home advantage as well. I am very impressed with the boys handling the short ball.

nagin dance and childish behaviors.

Are celebration dances worse than cheating on the field or match fixing ?

Ignore him man, there are good Indians in the forum. We don’t need to stoop low like him. You are better than this.

In that match this pitch was fresh so there was more juice so just forget these little additional side wins and enjoy the win.

 

[The_Odd_One]

They are not chicken hearted like Pakistani batsmen. Any professional team should be able to handle short balls.

 

[Zhasan]

They played better because they are taught and practice shots against short deliveries whereas Pakistani batsmen are taught to duck under them as can be seen in their training videos.

 

[Slim]

Props to Bengalis. Well played! They have surely surprised us with this.

 

[hadi123]

Clear they've had very good preparations.

 

[Saj]

Prepared well.

Showed intent right from the first few bouncers that were smashed for four.

Looked like a team who knew how to play the bouncer and not squirm in fear.
