Toss Ashraful has chosen to bat. "Every one is fit and positive. Farhad Reza will be in for Dollar Mahmud."

Dhoni: "The pitch looks a bit different. May be it will help spinners." Sehwag, Chawla and Praveen Kumar out. Ojha will make his debut." Robin Uthappa and Gony too are in."

 

[jusarrived]

oh cool .....ojha has been in the reckoning for some time now ....very intelligent bowler !

 

[Oxy]

No offence 'Asians' - I'm watching the Eng v NZ clash today.

Lot of needle in this one!

These kind of tracks are a shame, so flat as hell

Even wasim saying there is nothing there for the pacers, and they should bowl wicket to wicket

My advice - turn to Sky Sports 1 - pitch is full of juice.

^watching both matches

btw, speedgun is already showing speeds without a ball being bowled )

looks like they randomly choose sppeds to be put on the screen after a ball is bolwed

 

[Oxy]

Speed guns in this tournament are a joke.

They show speeds before anyone has bowled...

And then dont show any speeds during the game!

Why Star even bother broadcasting the speeds?

 

[Romali_rotti]

This is BULLL, Indians seems to have inherited a bit of Kamraness in them, dropping catches left right and centre. Come on boys what is going onnnnnnnn HOLD ON TO THOSE CATCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Romali_rotti]

Who is Ohja ??? havent heard of this kid before..

 

[Indiafan]

Who is Ohja ??? havent heard of this kid before..

He is a spinner with great potential. Being tried in place of Chawla. Good to see that new guys like Ojha and Gony have been given a chance here.

I have lost count of the new guys we have tried lately

 

[DOOSRA95]

Bangla cricketers and their immature approach to batting,what was wrong that Nazim Uddin,wafting outside off stump.
Really silly.

 

[jusarrived]

Who is Ohja ??? havent heard of this kid before..

hes been around for couple of years ..left arm spinner , quite tall ....has good variations to his bowling & has won quite a few matches for hyderabad in domestic ...but is quite poor with the bat!

 

[jusarrived]

I think the pitch will help spinners in the second innings & bangla has few decent ones ....if they get 220+ it might not be that easy for india !

Nazimuddin is crapper than crap. He should only be in the T20 team.

Unless your team is playing, this Asia Cup makes painful viewing....

Contrasted with the game at Lords at the moment....

 

[bdchamp20]

Congrats to Tamim Iqbal for getting 1000 ODI runs, 11th Bangladeshi to reach the landmark. And 2nd in the Asia Cup after Alok Kapali.

 

[Dhonifan]

this match is being played in total silence
total of 3 people in the grounds, or it feels like

 

[jusarrived]

like lara would say ' two people and a dog ' : D

Agree man

Still watching both matches, cause india at least try some new guys, so there is something NEW to see. Something PAK will never do :dna

 

[bdchamp20]

Ishant in and hit for four by Tamim.

 

[jusarrived]

off to a good start bangla ....53 /1 10 overs ....dont see any intensity from the indian players , hope we are not taking this lightly !

 

[Bangla Tiger]

9.4 I Sharma to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, Gorgeous straight drive. Tamim leaned into it well and caressed it down the ground. The head was over the ball and the right elbow very high.

for the "no talent" crew

 

[bdchamp20]

Bangladesh: 57 for 1 after 10 overs

LOL! For a talentless batsman he is not doing too bad is he?

 

[bdchamp20]

3 wides in a row for RP Singh.

 

[Bangla Tiger]

LOL! For a talentless batsman he is not doing too bad is he?

i expect a 70ish score from him today...so the jury is still out

 

[lollol]

Hattrick for RP!!!


in wides

 

[bdchamp20]

LOL! For a talentless batsman he is not doing too bad is he?

But of course Nasir Jamshed would've scored a century by now

 

[bdchamp20]

i expect a 70ish score from him today...so the jury is still out

now now lets not jinx him.

 

[lollol]

Gony gets his first wicket

 

[Romali_rotti]

Great batting by Bangladesh I wanna see a good chase, hopefully Ashraful will get a 100 here..

 

[DOOSRA95]

Ashraful at is best ,when he is set he let his team down.
Captain Silly.

 

[lollol]

Great batting by Bangladesh I wanna see a good chase, hopefully Ashraful will get a 100 here..

paaji, he is already out

Watching on illegal streams, he

 

[Romali_rotti]

Damn Ive jinxed himmm

 

[Dhonifan]

off to a good start bangla ....53 /1 10 overs ....dont see any intensity from the indian players , hope we are not taking this lightly !

The stadium's empty and there is no rivalry between the two
I hope there isnt a minnow upset around the corner

 

[Romali_rotti]

paaji, he is already out

Watching on illegal streams, he

I know

 

[lollol]

Ohja to bowl!

He will be very successful against pakistan!

 

[DOOSRA95]

Our SB need to watch Suresh raina and Tammim how a left hander bats and imposes himself on medium pacers .ok

 

[speed_thrills]

India bowling is a joke.
even minnows are bashing us. issed:

 

[bdchamp20]

50 for Tamim!

Chill dude! It's not the fault of your bowlers all the bowlers struggling in these pitches.

 

[bdchamp20]

What a lame shout!

 

[jusarrived]

wat a catch by the most under rated keeper in the world !

 

[lollol]

Wow, u dare to say this, really

Since when did dhoni become under-rated?????

 

[speed_thrills]

Chill dude! It's not the fault of your bowlers all the bowlers struggling in these pitches.

I know, but u guys always suck against PAK and SL, but feast on our bowling.

Talk about efficiency!

 

[lollol]

Sidharth Jatia: "The thing with Ishant is that he hasn't been able to live up to the hype surrounding him, even in the IPL and there after. In fact, as is the case with most Indian bowlers, they tend to forget their stock deliveries which get them to be successful and concentrate on "variations" which in turn render them variety but not the same amount of accuracy. Case studies: Ishant's focus on outswingers this series and Irfan's long gone in-dippers."

Rajasekhar: "Spot on, Siddharth Jatia. That's why you see so many Indian quicks falling by the wayside after a meteoric rise early on - L. Balaji, Irfan Pathan, Ajit Agarkar .. the list is long. Wonder why the coaches don't address this." I remember Nehra lost his big inswingers in pursuit of the one that goes away.

I cant stand mediocrity.

I have high expectation from my time.
so, thanks 4 ur advise.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Can someone post the clip of Ohja's wicket ?? Cricinfo reckons it was a 'ripper'

I have hardly seen u praising an Indian player

 

[Sher-e-BD]

That delivery was simply great. It spun so sharply.....

 

[speed_thrills]

Becasue none of the indian bowlers are praiseworthy.

as per me.

 

[Sher-e-BD]

Becasue none of the indian bowlers are praiseworthy.

as per me.

This Chawla and Ojha will be very good spin duo for IND.

 

[cars112]

Becasue none of the indian bowlers are praiseworthy.

as per me.

Good to see some Indian fans ready to admit their bowlers are rubbish, rather than claim Ishant "averaged 60 in Aus" is a Superstar bowler

 

[sohailalam]

its a flat track...only someone as good as akhtar can do anything here.

if u rely on swing/movement (akram), this pitch isnt for u.

 

[bdchamp20]

This Chawla and Ojha will be very good spin duo for IND.

There spinners do look very good, Harbhajan might find it hard to get back in the team.

 

[Indiafan]

Becasue none of the indian bowlers are praiseworthy.

as per me.

I said players not bowlers alone. i have only seen you praising player who are not in the team currently. When even greats of the game praise our bowlers, you dont find them worthy? Says everything, doesnt it?

 

[cars112]

There spinners do look very good, Harbhajan might find it hard to get back in the team.

Lolz! Anyone can look good against your lot. We absolutely ripped that Chawla to pieces and Ojha could well suffer the same fate.

Mind you, we destroyed Harbhajan too )

 

[speed_thrills]

Good to see some Indian fans ready to admit their bowlers are rubbish, rather than claim Ishant "averaged 60 in Aus" is a Superstar bowler

Hold on, I consider them as rubbish as their Pakistani Counterparts.
And pls don bring in AAG, as it will never ignite again.

 

[lollol]

Can someone post the clip of Ohja's wicket ?? Cricinfo reckons it was a 'ripper'

It indeed was a beauty!

I think i missed it recording.. looking for it

 

[lollol]

Look where the ball is, and where the bails are

 

[Indiafan]

Lolz! Anyone can look good against your lot. We absolutely ripped that Chawla to pieces and Ojha could well suffer the same fate.

And Afridi got hit gainst india, so using your logic Afridi is cr@p too?

 

[bdchamp20]

LOL! How dare u! Afridi is GOD!

 

[bdchamp20]

What a shot by Alok! 6!

 

[Mohsin]

C'mon Bangladesh!!!!!!!!! C'mon guys, beat India!!!!!!!

 

[Romali_rotti]

Bangladesh on track to put up a decent score... Come onn lets see a good chase..

 

[lollol]

Well well, what is raina trying to do there

 

[lollol]

lambu not bowling that fast today.

Yes, it is a dead track, but bowling at express pace might help against these batsmen

 

[6hitter]

whoa it looks like raina was holding him there

 

[KA$H]

come on you B@nger Boys!

 

[KA$H]

th@t's it @lok K@p@li!!

bring it on!

 

[Romali_rotti]

Good 50 by Kapali

 

[bdchamp20]

KAPALI! Excellent innings!

 

[Romali_rotti]

It indeed was a beauty!

I think i missed it recording.. looking for it

I take it you dont have the recording ???
