[10sion]

Toss: Bangladesh lost the toss and will have to bat first.

 

[10sion]

Mashrafe is injured. Rubel comes in his place.

 

[10sion]

CI : "Nepal still have an outside chance of progressing to the main event here, but Bangladesh are clear favourites to qualify. Here's the points table and here's a scenario for Bangladesh.

If Bangladesh bat first and score 140, they have to make sure that HK don't get the runs in 12 overs or less. "

 

[Mohsin]

Bangladeshi anthem has a pretty nice tune to it

 

[IJWBS]

Fantastic atmosphere as usual.

 

[IJWBS]

Crowd going crazy for hometown hero Tamim Iqbal!

And bowled

 

[10sion]

Tamim gone for a duck on his birthday!

 

[10sion]

Hahahha our crowd... roof collapsing noise to pin drop silence...

 

[IJWBS]

Bangladeshi anthem has a pretty nice tune to it

It is one of the most peaceful national anthems:

[LongHorn]

Bangladeshi anthem has a pretty nice tune to it

That is the best version of it , the other versions are quite sedate

 

[crick23]

WOW! 2 down

 

[10sion]

Sabbir is gone!

2 wickets down in 1st over.

 

[Strike Rate]

Bangladesh taking it too easy. They need to play sensibly or anything can happen.

 

[IJWBS]

Bangladesh making things interesting.

 

[10sion]

Nepal ..nepal..nepal...might just be in

 

[Asif321]

lol ) this team is going to super 10 ?

 

[10sion]

Bangladesh making things interesting.

Not by choice....we are getting a preview of things to happen in 2015 world cup. We will be owned in those pitches.

 

[10sion]

lol ) this team is going to super 10 ?

ssssh 71 all out

 

[steelo green]

These two are the mainstays. If one of these two falters early, I actually see HK with the advantage.

 

[crick23]

I kind of feel sorry for the fans to be honest

 

[10sion]

I kind of feel sorry for the fans to be honest

Why? We are used to this now...

 

[Asif321]

bangladesh should be thrown back as associate nation

 

[IJWBS]

ssssh 71 all out

Lol even Bangladesh A team scored more than Pakistan against South Africa on the same pitch

 

[10sion]

Hahah Bongladesh

I don't think the disrespect is called for. Troll the cricketers and fans... not the nation.

 

[10sion]

:4 for Shak.

 

[10sion]

Lol even Bangladesh A team scored more than Pakistan against South Africa on the same pitch

..and taken more wickets too.

 

[10sion]

:6 Anamul the animal! Beast!

 

[10sion]

61 metres :6. Fun cricket

 

[Asif321]

over rated Bangladesh team

 

[mithun_minhas]

Hoping to see Banglas thrash this useless HK team.

I don't want Bangs to be eliminated from the next round. Just see the crowd roaring and the passion.

Go Banglas.

 

[IJWBS]

Mushfiq, Riyad and Nasir need some batting practice.

 

[IJWBS]

Fun over for Hong Kong.

 

[Bickers]

When the commentators say 'the outfield is fast...' what they really mean is 'the boundaries are short...'

 

[10sion]

over rated Bangladesh team

 

[Asif321]

Future looks bleak for Bangladesh

 

[IJWBS]

Shakib needs to calm down. He is giving no respect to these HK bowlers.

 

[boomboomcheema]

If Bangladesh dont perform better against the stronger teams in the next round then they will remain a useless side. Look at the players , look at the fans , they are celebrating as if they are winning against decent teams.

 

[10sion]

Future looks bleak for Bangladesh

Get your eyes tested

 

[IJWBS]

Get your eyes tested

He is just trolling. He just watched his Afghan brothers get humiliated and is hurting right now. Leave him alone.

 

[RehanG]

ssssh 71 all out

Lol even Bangladesh A team scored more than Pakistan against South Africa on the same pitch

..and taken more wickets too.

why this arrogance? you guys have been playing this game forever now and are still useless even Nepal looks better then Bangladesh, in s10s we will see what your team can do it will be wonder if they even win ONE single MATCH

 

[Asif321]

Where is black magic wala uncle , his magic works only against associates

 

[10sion]

:4 Anamul!

 

[Asif321]

He is just trolling. He just watched his Afghan brothers get humiliated and is hurting right now. Leave him alone.

same Afghan brothers made you and your captain cry in Asia cup , uski pain abhi tak laghi hai Bengaliyo ko

 

[IJWBS]

Lol Bijoy destroying poor Nadeem here.

 

[10sion]

why this arrogance? you guys have been playing this game forever now and are still useless even Nepal looks better then Bangladesh, in s10s we will see what your team can do it will be wonder if they even win ONE single MATCH

Wheres the arrogance?

Its banter between fans... or are we not allowed that because Bangladesh is a minnow. Yes we are a minnow and forever the underdogs. But lets enjoy each others presence in the forums at least.... why so serious?

Point me one place where I've written that we will trash Pak/Ind/WI/Australia?

And Anamul goes!

 

[boomboomcheema]

Where is black magic wala uncle , his magic works only against associates

His contract expires after todays match.

 

[Poison]

Anamul's doing the business now but I don't really rate him too highly ... he's getting runs but most of his pull shots on regulation grounds would be sitters for any fielders at deep square or fine leg. Also doesn't move his feet much at all against the quickies or spinners.

Just got out while I was typing the post! Wish him well but he's got a few glaring technical weaknesses.

 

[10sion]

same Afghan brothers made you and your captain cry in Asia cup , uski pain abhi tak laghi hai Bengaliyo ko

pain? what pain?

Ab tou aadat see hai aisey jeeney mey

 

[Donal Cozzie]

The pressure is well on Bangladesh now...

 

[Asif321]

lol anamul thinks he is kohli

 

[IJWBS]

Anamul's doing the business now but I don't really rate him too highly ... he's getting runs but most of his pull shots on regulation grounds would be sitters for any fielders at deep square or fine leg. Also doesn't move his feet much at all against the quickies or spinners.

You're right about his footwork but he's a genuine strokemaker and will clear most boundaries once he gets a hold of the ball. Highest run-scorer in 2012 U19 WC. Only de Kock and Anamul from that batch have transitioned into the biggest stage and are scoring runs whereas the hyped up Indian and Pakistani batsmen are nowhere to be seen.

 

[boomboomcheema]

I like Anamul , he is not even scared to charge against 90 mph's bowlers and infact lofts them for sixes.

 

[10sion]

The pressure is well on Bangladesh now...

Hong Kong needs to chase the target in 12 overs... losing to Hong Kong might be a good thing if we qualify but still are hurt and try to prove ourselves instead of getting complacent.

 

[10sion]

:4 Shakib!

 

[IJWBS]

HK won't be able to chase anything over 130 even with the dew.

 

[10sion]

If only Shakib can get his temperament right and not go after every ball...

 

[10sion]

HK won't be able to chase anything over 130 even with the dew.

You never know...Atkinson and Chapman are good hitters.

 

[10sion]

:4 for MR.

70 up.

 

[10sion]

Consecutive :4s!

 

[IJWBS]

You never know...Atkinson and Chapman are good hitters.

Rubel will run through them. The conditions will suit him.

 

[10sion]

80/3 in 10 overs.

 

[IJWBS]

Lol Shakib just paddled a near 140k delivery. No respect.

 

[IJWBS]

Shakib is treating this as net practice.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Shakib

 

[10sion]

is gone!

 

[10sion]

Lol Shakib just paddled a near 140k delivery. No respect.

Should have given more respect

 

[10sion]

Nasir getting to bat for the first time in qualifiers. Quiet out of touch he has been.

 

[GenericBrand]

Now we can see how useful our lower order is going to be consisting of Nasir, Riyad and Reza

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Keeper missed an edge i think!

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Another wicket gone!!

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Are BD making a mess of this??

 

[IJWBS]

lol wth

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Wow.

You're the skipper of you're national team, you call out your teammates after an Asia Cup loss to Afghanistan, you're team is 87/4, you've just been given a second chance after the keeper drops a sitter, and you play that shot to be dismissed four balls later.

 

[TestCricketFanatic]

Relax even if BD get all out for 100, Hong Kong will lose. Hong Kong batting is pathetic.

 

[GenericBrand]

RR going to drop hard with these two

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Possible bowled here!

 

[Sam18696]

Goo Hong Kong Goooo

 

[Sam18696]

6 down

 

[Donal Cozzie]

6 Down! Unreal stuff here. Nepal might go through yet
