Even a win here wouldn't redeem Bangladesh in any way.

Completely humiliated.
 
What happened to Chittagong? All three affairs in Dhaka doesn't sound right. No wonder the crowds are staying away.
 
If Bangla wins, posts will be flooded with Bangla tigers ready to take on the world!!

On the side note; Really hope Pujara proves his mettle, he is far superior player than his ODI stats are showing. Would really love to have him in national side for ODI.

i always wondered about so few grounds in Countries like Bangladesh, Sri lanka. I think with such limited number the spread of cricket is highly restricted to big cities only. One decent thing BCCI has been doing is bringing cricket to all parts of India.
Partly weird(as it mocks the concept of home and away), but the idea of having IPL matches in grounds with no IPL team has spread the popularity of sport further.

Yeah it's not like everybody only lives in Dhaka either, they seem to be evenly spread throughout:

Too late with Pujara, you have no choice but to go with Yuvraj now.

But that's probably a good thing, he's your best 4 and the better match winner of the 3. Rahane and Pujara also don't have the same second gear Yuvraj has.

Yuvraj sucks big time outside the sub continent, we cant let him ruin another world cup for us.

Well Pujara is rubbish everywhere in ODIs. Wickets will have a bit of bounce in Aus/NZ but they'll otherwise be very bat friendly, guys like Pujara and Rahane will only hinder you at 4. They should either open or sit on the sidelines.

He needs a bit of time, he has proved in Tests in bouncy SA. I firmly believe a batsman who succeeds in Test should be able to preform well in ODIs too.

There isn't a enough time. Your best shout is Yuvraj.
 
Tiwary in for Mishra.

I would have benched Pujara and given Kedar Jadhav a go as well.

Yuvraj is a proven matchwinner, on his day he can win matches on his own. You need to remember he played a cruical part in your 2011 campaign. His failure in the WT20 shouldn't damage his rep in the slightest. They're T20s for crying out loud.

thats exactly what Dhoni said before the final,
Cancer seems to have taken a lot out of him, he no longer the player of 2011 WC.
 
Lol Tamim still playing, it must be absolutely wonderful to have your uncle work in the cricket board :facepalm:

Rohit can play at his original no. 4 slot with Rahane replacing him as opener.Pujara doesn't look cut out for ODIs thus far.
PS: This match is being played on the same pitch as the last ODI!!
 
Tamim Iqbal is really in the team due to his uncle holding one of the important positions of BCB. Which is a shame considering that there's an opener called Imrul Kayes who has seriously improved, has talent and looks more determined then ever. Scored a test 100 earlier in the year against Sri Lanka, scored a immediate 50 on his return in ODIs against Pakistan, scored his highest ever score double 100 in Bangladesh's toughest domestic competition, scored a 100 in the recent Caribbean A tour on a bouncy pitch and a rapid 50 in a T20 game which they happen to won yet cannot find a place in the national team whereas Tamim who has been the complete opposite does :))

Anyway, Pujara in ODIs has also played against not only Bangladesh but also Zimbabwe and yet failed thus far.

Exactly and BCCI should be applauded for it . Every freaking match in Bangladesh looks like its being held in the same venue for the past 14 years , OTOH India has got so many diverse venues on the table.

We have venues in almost all the states Maharashtra/Mumbai , Gujarat/Amdavad , Rajasthan/Jaipur , Punjab/Mohali, Delhi , UP, MP , Hyderabad , Bangalore , Chennai, The Great Eden Gardens in Bengal, Guwahati/Assam, Orissa/Cuttack,Kerala/Kochi, we even have a stadium in valleys of Dharamshala. Each and every venue has its own flavor, completely different atmosphere to one another , cheerful crowds which feels like every venue is from a different country. Its like having stadiums all over the Globe stuffed in one country.

All BCCI has to do is allocate Odis/T20s to any 5-7 different venues and every match is sold out, a lot of stadiums actually miss out on Cricket matches every year and crowds are disappointed.

I want to see BCCI penetrating further into the North-east apart from Assam and develop Cricket infrastructure there , its one part of the country which even the BCCI has ignored for too long.

time for Chintu to shine and make a big big hundred
Come on Pujara!!
 
These are the pitches I want to see throughout the subcontinent one that suits bowlers. Only way to seriously improve the Asian batsman. No wonder Australia, South Africa and England have generally been the top teams especially in tests.

Anyway this ODI series has been a good test for some of these Indian players for the big tour to England where I wish them a hell of a good luck! :afridi

If England prepare these types of pitches they'll probably win most of the Tests in 3 days.

Anderson will be untouchable :wasim

And that's where I am worried. Playing India as well as we all know equals big bucks. Have a strong feeling most of these tests will be slighter flatter so matches last as close to 5 days. That South Africa series was the same if you can recall.
 
Taskin wicket first ball!

Our batsmen are so screwed, we might outdo ourselves this game when we come to bat :)))

How's the feeling amongst Bangladeshi fans? Are you done with this team?
 
Same thing as last time. We're 13/3, and Bangladesh at this stage will probably be 9/5 in their innings.
 
This is an even harder pitch to bat on. Anything over 150 should be extremely hard to chase.

I seriously doubt India has the capability of restricting Bangladesh to such a low score again, If india bundles out for another sub 150 score, no way India deserves to win the game.
 
The pitch may be pathetic but 13/3 is dangerous.

What if we get bowled out for 50?

Pujara come and show your class today.

I know you have it in you.
 
India might as well send in their test probables to this venue & request BCB to organize a test with BD. If Indian batsmen can score a 300 in a test batting first here, they would do well in England.

Actually that's a great idea.

Even better would be to practice against Bhuvi, Shami and Praveen Kumar on this pitch.

I would like to see India play a test match against Bangladesh with the same squad before the England series. Would like to see how the youngsters go in the test match. And there will be Pujara & Rahane for solidity

India may have squandered a chance at testing their main team by sending in the A-team instead :)) Backfired!

If the BCCI had desired to improve upon the team's dismal record in the U.K, it would've organized special training camps at Chherapunji where it keeps raining almost throughout the year, & the temperature also remains similar to England. Or else anywhere on the foothills of the Himalayas.

But I guess they are ok with being humiliated again & again on overseas tours just like last time.
 
Oh for gawd's sake I seriously thought this was the 2nd ODI thread, for some reason only partly showing.

How roobish are we?
 
Something is wrong with this pitch, that is all.

We don't have a 'dismal' record in the UK, our 2011 loss was in fact the first loss to England either here or there since the mid-90s.

We do need to prepare for the series better though, yes. In the Himalayas? No.

Nuts and bolts argument overall.

Raina showing his class.

The pitch: Did they uproot the Perth pitch of the 90s and lay it out here? Absolute beast of a pitch for bowlers!
 
Raina realizes that compiling a score for 50 overs worth isn't going to cut it; just flay madly like it's a T20 and get to 170 and that should probably be enough. Pujara if he stays is a good blocker at the other end.
 
Raina doing it IPL style. It would be called irresponsible if he got out, but genius. When 150 is a winning score, these add up fast. More importantly, he's opened the field for Pujara to take singles.

Not the proper thread to discuss but if you consider India's record in England as satisfactory, then may be you have pretty low standards.

& there's a lot of difference between 'In the Himalayas' & 'Foothills of the Himalayas'.

As for the argument, well each to his own.
 
Seriously, how many teams can survive an entire ODI on this wicket? Even our real team would find it tough going.

No idea how the first ODI was a cakewalk in comparison.
 
What a nightmarish atmosphere for batsmen. Minefield pitch, dark clouds, wickets falling all over the place and the wind and the cold.

There aren't enough overs for Pujara to get 50 :))

I kid :P

At this rate, I'll be happy if someone stays out there till the 50th over....and now it rains just as they were cutting loose.

I bet a wicket or two will go immediately they're back.
 
It's seaming around a lot and some poster s thought our batting was full of FTB's for struggling on this pitch :facepalm: Even AB and Clarke would have had it on this pitch. Cape Dhaka :Younis

Allow me to rephrase for the dimmer ones amongst you:

We don't have a 'dismal' record in the UK, our 2011 loss was in fact the first loss to England either here or there since the mid-90s. The series played in England in 2002 and 2007 were drawn and won respectively, and the ones in India in 2002, 2006 and 2008 were won, drawn and won in that order, all against the Queen's finest.

We do need to prepare for the upcoming 2014 series better though, yes. At the foothills of the Himalayas? No.

Nuts and bolts argument overall.
