Bangladesh v India | Asia Cup | Karachi | 28/06/2008 (The Chase)

[Mercenary]

This is the first time in a long time that the BD team have got a chance to beat India.

This is the highest total that India have ever had to chase against BD, their previous highest chases were 250 in May 2007 and 249 in May 2000.

India have only ever had to chase 200+ against BD on 5 occasions. India won 4 of those games with BD winning only one. On that one occasion BD defended 229 against India, so defending 284 isn't impossible.

However on a track as flat as this, India will still start as favourites

 

[lollol]

I think india will get this easily... they have so many players who can score big, i.e. around 70-100+

ghambir
sharma
pathan
raina
uv
dhoni
....

It will be easy for them i think, track is flat as concrete (c) ramiz raja

Kapali's 100 (19 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?cyteioj4nxt

 

[TruSachFan]

it will be not be easy. not at all.

 

[cars112]

GO BANGLADESH!

I hope they thrash the Indians today.

Damn, bad ball first up.

 

[maamrut]

^ irrespective f what happens...it was a pathetic display really.Almost an embarresment actually.OTOH, i imagine MSD and Gary will have a word or two for the boys.We may just see a change of attitude for the Pakistan game...wouldn't you wish we were complacent then?May not happen anymore.

 

[Hail-Akram]

whattaaa strart Gambhir !!

 

[cars112]

Gambhir escapes a run out

 

[cars112]

Almost an embarresment actually.

Embarrassing indeed for you!

) )

 

[cars112]

Didn't Shahadat take 6 wickets against SA or something? Hope he can do the same today!

 

[cars112]

Who was the fool who gave them 4 overthrows

 

[lollol]

Uthappa didnt have a great start in 2008....

I really dont know why india persists with him...

 

[12thMan]

can someone explain this?

Two days after Sharapova crashed out of wimbledon, here we have Shahadat Sharapova Hossain to bowl

[cars112]

Edged but didnt carry

 

[Mohsin]

Idiots showing england match!

 

[bdchamp20]

Didn't Shahadat take 6 wickets against SA or something? Hope he can do the same today!

That was in a test match he isn't really the same in ODIs.

 

[cars112]

If you ask me the Indians are looking very nervous...Bangladesh just need to keep the pressure on and the chokers will choke.

 

[bdchamp20]

Razzak is our best bowler we should look to get him in as soon as we can.

 

[cars112]

That was in a test match he isn't really the same in ODIs.

There's always a first time...maybe today he will crack ODIs!

That means cricinfo has now hired Siddhu for commentry ...

 

[bdchamp20]

excellent over from Mashrafe only 2 off it.

 

[cars112]

gone!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lollol]

As i already said: WHY does IND persist with uthappa

 

[cars112]

1 down 5 to go then the tail starts!

 

[Mohsin]

Yesssssssss

 

[bdchamp20]

Rajib you beauty!

 

[TruSachFan]

damn flathappa gone

 

[bdchamp20]

India should've sent out Dhoni but oh well!

 

[Hail-Akram]

 

[cars112]

India well and truly under the hammer!

I'm loving it!

 

[maamrut]

If you ask me the Indians are looking very nervous...Bangladesh just need to keep the pressure on and the chokers will choke.

LMAO...quit imagining things!! Alright time to put an end to this farce..time to get serious again boys.

 

[TruSachFan]

India should've sent out Dhoni but oh well!

nah. sharmas a good choice. He needs time to settle in. Dhoni takes less time.

 

[bdchamp20]

I will only believe that we have a genuine chance if we can get rid of Gambhir soon!

 

[cars112]

LMAO...quit imagining things!! Alright time to put an end to this farce..time to get serious again boys.

"Farce" will be India losing to Bangla for the third time! ) ) )

To think some were dismissing our 5-0 against the Banglas recently! At least we don't keep losing to them like the "world's best team"

 

[maamrut]

Big trouble BAN...Rohit is in the mood.Class is written all over.

 

[cars112]

I will only believe that we have a genuine chance if we can get rid of Gambhir soon!

Keep the faith, lad, plenty of runs to play with.

 

[TruSachFan]

BD fans. YOu only have hossain and mortaza. who are the other bowlers other than razaak?

 

[maamrut]

Perfect opportunity for Rohit and Yusuf to gain form.

 

[cars112]

Big trouble BAN...Rohit is in the mood.Class is written all over.

I hope his stumps get shattered like that dude with the funny name who just got out

 

[cars112]

Perfect opportunity for Rohit and Yusuf to gain form.

Uppish shot which didn't carry. On another day Rohit would have been back in the hut!

 

[cars112]

Rohit escapes again! Almost caught!

Bangla looking really sharp, wanting to devour the Indian kittens like tigers!

 

[TruSachFan]

rohit almost almost gone

 

[Hail-Akram]

Perfect opportunity for Rohit and Yusuf to gain form.

So was it for Uthappa .. but ....

Referring to the bowlers long legs

I still prefer watching Sharapova

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Is Kapali on the field? they will need his leg spin

 

[Random Aussie]

Bangladesh!!!! Go go go!!!

Whoop whoop!! 9 wickets to go....

 

[TruSachFan]

ghambhir in a rocking mood. good to see.

 

[Dhonifan]

what's all this grunting by the bowlers?

come on INDIAAAAAAA

 

[bdchamp20]

BD fans. YOu only have hossain and mortaza. who are the other bowlers other than razaak?

I think Farhad Reza will bowl next. Then the spinners: Razzak, Kapali and Riyad.

 

[TruSachFan]

nice shot by rohit

 

[Random Aussie]

I want Bucknor umpiring

 

[bdchamp20]

I hope the bowlers don't deny Kapali a match-winning innings.

 

[TruSachFan]

bd fielders too charged up and overthrows 444

 

[TruSachFan]

I hope the bowlers don't deny Kapali a match-winning innings.

it wont be the bowlers, most likely fielders.

 

[TruSachFan]

I want Bucknor umpiring

with proctor as the 3rd umpire

 

[Indiafan]

Good thinking to send Sharma up the order. He has been woefully out of form and this is a good chance to regain some

 

[Dhonifan]

I want Bucknor umpiring

I want a rematch of the Sydney Test

 

[Random Aussie]

with proctor as the 3rd umpire

No can't be Proctor, he comes from South Africa and therefore must be racist

Did Sehwag get rested for the "minnow" game?

 

[lollol]

Gone

 

[KA$H]

GET IN!!!
2nd wkt down - oh yes boys

 

[TruSachFan]

damn rohit gone.

 

[Dhonifan]

Rohit &%^%$ Sharma fails again!

Things not looking good now.

 

[Dhonifan]

come on BD bowlers gib us some pies now

 

[Random Aussie]

Go tigers!

 

[Hail-Akram]

sharma gone !!!

 

[dblock]

Whilst Gambhir looked authoritative, Rohit, even amongst the boundaries looked rather unsettled.

 

[Mohsin]

Go tigers!!!!!!!!

 

[bdchamp20]

Shahadat takes out Rohit!

 

[TruSachFan]

Go tigers!

we dont need u here go watch the eng nz game

 

[Mohsin]

Cars11 pai where are you?!

 

[bablu_khan]

No can't be Proctor, he comes from South Africa and therefore must be racist

Did Sehwag get rested for the "minnow" game?

minow??

they are playing like big gun today

 

[KA$H]

[Rickz]

India 58/2 after 10. Come on India!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Random Aussie]

Loving it Just got home and log on to see this. Even better than being all out for 80 against the Saffers.....

Is YUVI gracing this game with his majestic presence and "aggression with body language"?

 

[dblock]

Someone needs to fix the speed-gun, how can a pretty decent bouncer be only 60mph!!

 

[cars112]

Keep it up boys, thrash these Indians

 

[TruSachFan]

Loving it Just got home and log on to see this. Even better than being all out for 80 against the Saffers.....

Is YUVI gracing this game with his majestic presence and "aggression with body language"?

Now this is the Random Aussie I like ) ) )

 

[Mohsin]

Razzaq gets a elbow to th head but, shouldnt be too serious

 

[Mohsin]

A little hit to the head has really troubled Razzak. wth!
