Bangladesh v India | Match 40, World Cup | 2nd July, 2019 | Edgbaston | India innings

[bluevision]

KL might head back anytime now. He has already fulfilled his quota of runs.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Rahul played 4 dot balls in that over. He should be told either rotate or slog after a certain point, he is just wasting overs even on flat tracks with his inability to rotate strike!

 

[jagatk]

No it didn't.. today it looks sluggish

Go watch the game again, both chahal and kuldeep spun the ball, it isn't quick enough to hurt the batsmen.

 

[RainMan_]

Our cricketers should stop playing all together. Lodo game is better suited for them. Such a shameless bunch.

Lost a match by missing an easy run out against kiwis. Now again a dropped catch. Cricket is not for these idiots.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

I think Bangladesh will unleash Ruel Hussain only when Kohli comes on

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Easy win for india.

Hmmmm.....not so easy bhai....BD is charged up...they are motivated as they have several injured players playing on pure determination....shakib is the player of the tournament for me...doing a yuvi 2011...that said good start by our guys....
on another front....aapka name interesting hai....whats the meanng.......

 

[Snatch]

Rohit is so classy

Biriani eating unfit players get always injured. Nothing to be surprised here.

Bangla plays hardly any matches. Why do their players get always injured?

 

[jagatk]

Rahul being useless as usual.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Rahul, play your shots man. Can't rotate strike and can't hit big either in first 10. 10 off 19 balls

he does'nt need to....play big shots i mean....but yes does need to rotate the strike.....if he comes big tonight...we'lll be happily singing his praises..

 

[Snatch]

An Indian win seals a semi-final spot for NZ, because Pakistan are NOT going ahead of their NRR.

We're not going to see both England and Pakistan winning by close to 225 runs each (or the equivalent chase) for that to happen.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

So BD are the Wounded tiger

- True that...

 

[Captain caveman]

Bangla bros showing their class!
Indian fans are going to go home from edgbaston disappointed again.

 

[BaaliSoda]

9 runs scored off last 4 overs, thanks to numerous dot balls played by KLR

 

[desi_launda]

Angry Rohit

 

[Snatch]

What a shot Rohit. Such a great batsman!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Thanks Rohit for breaking this monotony of dot balls with good six off shakib

 

[Snatch]

India are so good to watch when on song.

 

[ak619]

Bangla bros showing their class!
Indian fans are going to go home from edgbaston disappointed again.

Are you still hurting from the India vs England match?

Don't worry. Pakistan still has a good chance of making the semis.

 

[RainMan_]

Why do most Bangla players look so unfit? What is wrong with them.

Mash looks as if he's gonna fall asleep anytime on the field. He's so slow on the field that it's beyond imagination that he's still playing and leading a national team.

Then there r mushfiqur, Tamim, Miraz l. All of them r so poor as far as physical fitness is concerned.

 

[giri26]

Rohit Sharma 25 runs away from becoming top rungetter in the world cup. Good performance from him so far.

Fitness in cricket is overrated.Look at Rohit,his belly keeps growing with every century.And he is a good fielder too

 

[BaaliSoda]

Rahul just can't rotate the strike, putting unnecessary pressure on Rohit.

Edit: Some intent, at last, 6 off Mortaza

 

[desi_launda]

Rahul smacks trundler

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

any one else finding Harsha bhogle annoying....everything has a shelf life....he was novelty in the 90's....should have retired 10 years back...he just has these weird comparisons for shots played or balls bowled, or the previous history....seldom commentates on fielding changes/strategy changes by the skippers or any tremondous penetrating insight.....just bored with his wide eyed-i am amongst the stars who've played it bit.....can't see any young up coming indian commie nowadays....a pity....

 

[Sunzi]

Even Rahul licking chikke...

Bad times.

 

[Itachi]

I'll mention once again. Bangladesh still not cut out for world cup SF. they have lot to learn and going by the progress from the last decade, I won't be surprise if their fans will have to wait for another decade.

Could not agree more.

Of the new lot, i kinda like Murali Karthik as commentator.

 

[watchman99]

What happened to Indian batting today..lol

That drop catch will hurt

 

[bluevision]

If BD loses today, they are out of SF contention? Or still a possibility of a back door entry?

 

[Itachi]

Pakistan or england will make it for the 4th spot. No chance for Bangladesh.

He has never played first class cricket, what do you expect?

I just dislike his commentary to the max. Utterly useless.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Could not agree more.

Of the new lot, i kinda like Murali Karthik as commentator.

yeah...i agree....he does dissect field placements wonderfully...and also he gives good insights about traditional spin....but he still has some way to go for being an entertainer which is what a the modern commie should be -needs to provide info and entertainment....but i guess he will get there soon...

 

[dildilpak]

If BD loses today, they are out of SF contention? Or still a possibility of a back door entry?

They will be out. Max they will end up with is 9 points; Eng is on 10

 

[ak619]

If BD loses today, they are out of SF contention? Or still a possibility of a back door entry?

They are out. No back door entry.

4 teams are already at 10 points or more. If BD loses today, the maximum they can get to is 9 points.

 

[IAJ]

350 on the cards here

 

[Captain caveman]

You have already decided india will win this match, after less than 20 overs?!!

My bangla bros are the best chasers in this world cup!
Don't count your chickens before they have hatched!
Talking about chickens, i am expecting some anda(eggs) from dhoni and co!

 

[bluevision]

Lol, they are showing the Rohit's 'no ball' wala century in 2015 WC

 

[Itachi]

Okay. Then wait and congratulate me later.

 

[gani999]

Nope they are out. Won't make it even if they beat Pakistan.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Can i ever see Rahul batting @ a SR of > 120 in ODI?

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I would'nt be too sure about the 'another decade' bit....the passion is there, their college level competion is improving and that will be a good feeder to the domestic scene, overall their economy is improving and they are pumping money in cricket ( as wella s other sports)....once they get the infra and facilities right which they are on right track for ....no reason why they cant challenge the other powerful teams....and yeah....their fans will mature too....sooner rather than later...

 

[bluevision]

The Kohli-killer is on the attack now.

 

[RamLakhan]

Rahul is helped by Bangladeshi Trundlers & Sloppy Fielders!

 

[Pk716]

Rahul is helped by Bangladeshi Trundlers & Sloppy Fielders!

Hope this doesn't stop mayank to open in the next match.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Indian batting showing its class...what is that burning smell????

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Now just slog Mr.Rahul, it's ok even if you get out.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Hope this doesn't stop mayank to open in the next match.

It will indeed.how can u replace your first choice player who already has played in all the games with someone who hasnt seen much international cricket let alone wc games..
Though i would live to see mayank open in dead rubber vs SL ,but chances are slim

 

[jagatk]

Hope this doesn't stop mayank to open in the next match.

Would be a dumb decision to bring in an opener and then not pick him.

 

[Sunzi]

Too easy. That catch going to prove costly. Sharma going great guns again.

 

[Mean&Green]

Rahul is helped by Bangladeshi Trundlers & Sloppy Fielders!

Exactly India shouldn’t get happy about this cause come the semi finals if he faces good bowlers he’ll be back to his normal

 

[battler]

lol India just breezing along. No intent from Bangla.

 

[RamLakhan]

Can i ever see Rahul batting @ a SR of > 120 in ODI?

He will do that in IPL (even > 150) He is a free bird there!

 

[Captain caveman]

Okay. Then wait and congratulate me later.

Will do(if you win)!

 

[Mean&Green]

It’s about to happen rahul almost getting out in typical fashion

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Would be a dumb decision to bring in an opener and then not pick him.

As i read somewhere he is brought in as replacement for injured shankar who was playing at #4 ,so your statement doesnt make sense...trust me many of us want him to open but if rahul is clicking you cant replace him,its even more criminal

 

[shah_1]

Bangladesh fast bowling stock need to seriously improve. They must hire Alan Donald or Shane Bond as head bowling coach of their national cricket academy

 

[Pk716]

It will indeed.how can u replace your first choice player who already has played in all the games with someone who hasnt seen much international cricket let alone wc games..
Though i would live to see mayank open in dead rubber vs SL ,but chances are slim

Agreed. Though rahul is not our first choice opener.Atleast mayank should play at 4.sad thing is we are testing our batsman in the wc and when we are 1game away from KO.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Exactly India shouldn’t get happy about this cause come the semi finals if he faces good bowlers he’ll be back to his normal

Yes we should be crying with 122-0 in 20 overs

 

[MP2011]

Too easy. That catch going to prove costly. Sharma going great guns again.

As if that drop catch is the only reason for our dominance in this game.

 

[DeadlyYorker]

Agreed. Though rahul is not our first choice opener.Atleast mayank should play at 4.sad thing is we are testing our batsman in the wc and when we are 1game away from KO.

I think its given pant got #4 spot for all the next games unless he doesnt perfrom in all of those matches..Dk doesnt give me anyhopes but then its his last wc,just wishing he destroyes his demons to be a beast for atleast 3 matches now

 

[GLORY OF '92]

This is a spinners pitch. Pace will get murdered

 

[Captain caveman]

So indian fans were raving about kl rahul before this wc. I have only seen him in this wc, he is ok, but not fantastic! Are you future stars, the gills and shaws overhyped too!
What happened to the last but one under 19 wc indian captain, i think his name started with z. He looked a good player!

 

[Sunzi]

As if that drop catch is the only reason for our dominance in this game.

Now.. now.. no need to be so defensive. LOL

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Ridiculous line and lenght from BD bowlers, too many balls on sixth stump

 

[DeadlyYorker]

As if that drop catch is the only reason for our dominance in this game.

Its the green glasses man, did u see even one greenbro saying such stuff for babar after he was dropped?No

Yes he was dropped ,too bad from bengolibros but what he js playing right now is just skills and nothinng but

 

[RainStopsPlay]

BD bowling is looking worse than AFG attack.

 

[MMHS]

If I triple scored from 20 overs, it’s 366, but India has 10 wickets at hand

A miracle needed like 3 wicket over .... and those 3 are like Sharma, Kohli, Pant

The ones who once saw stars in Sehzad,kamran better talk less.Kl didnt perfrom to his potential but surly he is still decent

 

[Ram Shekhar]

India has not faced a single question apart from that dropped catch off Rohit.. too easy. Bangladesh need a breakthrough from somewhere badly

 

[Pk716]

I think its given pant got #4 spot for all the next games unless he doesnt perfrom in all of those matches..Dk doesnt give me anyhopes but then its his last wc,just wishing he destroyes his demons to be a beast for atleast 3 matches now

If we win this we should play mayank,rahul, pant
Dk IN next match By giving rest to Dhoni,who obviously plays in KO.

 

[bluevision]

As i read somewhere he is brought in as replacement for injured shankar who was playing at #4 ,so your statement doesnt make sense...trust me many of us want him to open but if rahul is clicking you cant replace him,its even more criminal

Indian selectors and management has been smoking some spiked stuff of late. They replaced an opener with a WK batsmen, then brings-in an opener for an middle order 'all-rounder' and today replaced a bits and pieces player with a specialist WK batsmen who has been around since ages.

 

[MP2011]

Now.. now.. no need to be so defensive. LOL

Not at all defensive. Just pointing out that we'd have played well even if Rohit got out early, so poor is BD bowling at this level.

 

[Mean&Green]

The balatkaar the English batsmen did on the indian batsmen it’s the Bengalis on the receiving end today

 

[Ram Shekhar]

If I triple scored from 20 overs, it’s 366��, but India has 10 wickets at hand������

A miracle needed like 3 wicket over .... and those 3 are like Sharma, Kohli, Pant��

You still have Rahul, Pandya, and Karthik in that case, I stopped counting Dhoni and he will help Bangladesh.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

398/0 in 50 overs? Lol

 

[Mean&Green]

India has not faced a single question apart from that dropped catch off Rohit.. too easy. Bangladesh need a breakthrough from somewhere badly

It’s literally batting practice for India

 

[Sunzi]

Its the green glasses man, did u see even one greenbro saying such stuff for babar after he was dropped?No

Yes he was dropped ,too bad from bengolibros but what he js playing right now is just skills and nothinng but

Not at all.

Didnt realise it was a prerequisite to state the obvious and mollycoddle your ego - everyone, myself included, knows (and has said many a time) how strong India is and how much better they are than Pak.

Before you accuse me of blind bias perhaps understand first.
