[Blitz]

Bangladesh batting first.

Stadium sold out!

 

[Torpedo]

Bangladesh win toss and bat first.

This guy will send down his thunderbolts today.

 

[Blitz]

I see why I don't appreciate either Indian or Bangladeshi anthem.


They were written by the same person!!

 

[Blitz]

)))


Tamim out.

Crowd owned!

 

[Blitz]

Where is everyone? This is a crunch game

 

[Blitz]

more

 

[jattafridi]

Come on west indies

 

[Watsupdoc]

This is a make or break game for both teams. This will decide who will go through to the QFs.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Kemari going to be dangerousss

 

[Blitz]

This is a make or break game for both teams. This will decide who will go through to the QFs.

I think both along with Ireland could get through.

Theres a chance Bang and west indies can beat England. South Africa too! So in a way, you would think England has already got all the points it was going to muster

 

[Blitz]

Bangladesh getting owned!

 

[jattafridi]

beauty shot

 

[Blitz]

25-3

Welcome back Bangladesh. Know your place

 

[James]

I think best result for England would be a tie, or a Bangladesh win (given the huge net run rate of West Indies)

 

[Blitz]

 

[jattafridi]

very poor batting display by Bangla

 

[Blitz]

That is now officially the worst challange of all time. Younis has been forgiven.

A full on yorker...

 

[Blitz]

36-4

 

[James]

Oh dear...

 

[Blitz]

"Do not write-off Bangladesh, already. They just need one solid partnership and a score of 240 should also be defendable, given their spin attack," says Kalai, who might have emailed that in before this wicket fell.

Since when was a 'decent' partnership 200 runs?! )

 

[AZ]

lol

is it ok to bash bangladesh in this forum

not if its that only point of your existence at PP.

this is a commentary thread, so stick to the cricket, or leave.

 

[AZ]

Bangladesh top order absolutely wrecked by Roach and Sammy.

40-4 after 10 ovs.

Benn brought on.



Shakib is bowled, disaster for Bangladesh!!!

 

[Blitz]

This is actually getting sad.

41-5.

Sold out stadium

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bangladesh suck.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Bangaldesh have crumbled under pressure here.

What a massive disappointment. Could have been such an amazing match.

 

[Blitz]

Great shot.

 

[AZ]

c'mon Ashraful, if there was ever a moment you had to play a knock, its now.



full and stroked thru cover, good start for Ash.

 

[James]

Ashraful to play his triennial good innings perhaps?

Stil think we are capable of losing to Bangladesh and/or West Indies.

 

[Torpedo]

And ICC have Windies ranked below Bangladesh? Even if a camel sits down, he is still taller than a donkey.

 

[MHZ]

Bangladesh suck.

At this point y'day, it was Pakistan in this predicament.

 

[TNA]

Q: Who sucks in their own backyard?



A: Bangladesh.

 

[jattafridi]

thats world cup pressure guys in important match

 

[MRSN]

5 down for 46 already???poor stuff from the Bangladeshis

 

[zulfiqar]

Asshraful the solitary hope

 

[Amjid Javed]

West Indies should win this from here!

 

[MRSN]

6 down

 

[Blitz]

51-6

Shocking, shameful, pathetic, disgraceful.

They need to offer every Bangladeshi fan in the crowd a refund.

 

[AZ]

disgraceful.

 

[MHZ]

Can't believe it. This is what we (Pak) normally do when battting...losing our heads.

I hope they don't get humililated. Feel really sorry for the fans.

 

[jattafridi]

Bangla needs to learn how to build partnerships they need somebody like him

 

[shokz1408]

Well this all suggests to me, That Ireland and Bangladesh will be making a 1st round exit.

 

[akamaka]

bangladesh putting up less of a fight then even the dutch.

 

[AZ]

Benn getting, drift, turn & bounce...this is going to get very ugly.

 

[Blitz]

Can't believe it. This is what we (Pak) normally do when battting...losing our heads.

I hope they don't get humililated. Feel really sorry for the fans.

No we don't..........we have mini collapses, but most times make a defendable total.

 

[James]

6 down in 14 overs, true minnow stuff

 

[akamaka]

Time for an ashraful special. 50 runs off 150 balls.

 

[Blitz]

Good shot.

 

[AZ]

guided and superbly timed past point.

Ash.

 

[NZcricketfan]

You have to feel sorry for the Bangladesh crowds. There is no reason they should be in this position. Just can't handle the pressure of expectation.

 

[MHZ]

No we don't..........we have mini collapses, but most times make a defendable total.

Did you see how we lost the last four wickets against Canada?

 

[TNA]

Well this all suggests to me, That Ireland and Bangladesh will be making a 1st round exit.

Not before the clash between the giant of minnows (india vs ireland)

 

[cricketindiafan]

Looks like Bangladesh have fallen in the trap they laid for WI. A low slow wicket with a lot of turn and windies bowlers have made full use of the help they are getting.

 

[James]

Bangladesh could probably defend 170 if the pitch is a baddun. West Indies are dump as well don't forget.

 

[MRSN]

This pitch suits West Indies style.They are used to bat on such tracks.

 

[MHZ]

Bangladesh could probably defend 170 if the pitch is a baddun. West Indies are dump as well don't forget.

A couple of big overs from Gayle and Pollard with the bat, and 170 won't look so big.

 

[Blitz]

Did you see how we lost the last four wickets against Canada?

Yes. A 'mini collapse'.

And for us, 180 is a VERY defendable total.

 

[Blitz]

They are showing Clive Lloyd and the old West Indies.

What has happened to them now

 

[Statsman]

Yes. A 'mini collapse'.

And for us, 180 is a VERY defendable total.

Defendable against Canada my friend, not against a test playing nation...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another one falls.

Can they score 100?

 

[AZ]

Naeem feather edges to the keeper.

this should be over before the second drinks break.

 

[Blitz]

56-7

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Defendable against Canada my friend, not against a test playing nation...

You never know my friend, you never know.

 

[akamaka]

another one gone. Can they make 100?

 

[MRSN]

7 down for 56

 

[AZ]

Mark Nicholas shut up.

 

[adit_sh]

The same bangla team had scored 280 against Indian bowling........LOL

 

[Watsupdoc]

Bangladesh Sigh this is child's play for WI )

 

[akamaka]

Mark Nicholas shut up.

what did he say?

 

[AZ]

Sammy should bring Kemar back for a couple of overs and end this.

 

[MHZ]

Defendable against Canada my friend, not against a test playing nation...

Exactly my point. Any team other than Canada woud have chased that easily.

 

[Blitz]

I'm not a Bangladesh fan, but this is pathetic. So angry

The fans, who spent thier weekly wages, buying expensive tickets on the black market, buying the merchendise.

Disgraceful. Hang your heads in shame.

56-8

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another one. 8 down.

 

[MRSN]

another wicket for Keemar

 

[MHZ]

Oh dear!

 

[Watsupdoc]

AShraful gone! )

 

[AZ]

lol, he does.

LOL



Ash gone, blind swing and edged to the keeper.

 

[akamaka]

ashraful the saviour gone. bangladesh batting is embarrassing.

 

[Krishnan]

it seems this match will finish at the same time as nz zimbabwe match

 

[cricketindiafan]

Massive disappointment for the fans. Such a huge build up to this game, perhaps BD put them under too much pressure.
