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
 
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
 
GO BANGLADESH!

I hope they thrash the Indians today.

Damn, bad ball first up.
 
^ 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.
 
Didn't Shahadat take 6 wickets against SA or something? Hope he can do the same today!
 
Uthappa didnt have a great start in 2008....

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

That was in a test match he isn't really the same in ODIs.
 
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.
 
I will only believe that we have a genuine chance if we can get rid of Gambhir soon!

"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"
 
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

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!
 
Rohit escapes again! Almost caught!

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

I think Farhad Reza will bowl next. Then the spinners: Razzak, Kapali and Riyad.
 
Good thinking to send Sharma up the order. He has been woefully out of form and this is a good chance to regain some

with proctor as the 3rd umpire :akhtar

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

Did Sehwag get rested for the "minnow" game?

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

Loving it :D 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"?
 
Someone needs to fix the speed-gun, how can a pretty decent bouncer be only 60mph!!
