Brainless batting by Bangladesh

[ArunOnline]

Bangladesh pressed the choke button big time

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

You can see in their cricket that Bangladesh once was a part of the Islamic Republic. Just like Pak team they managed to choke and gift the match.

If he was bowling on pitch.. Easy 2 singles and they win

Acha aap bola nahi they ll get knocked out for sure

 

[angeldsoul]

I noticed, the same thing, stumping wasn't given wide!! I thought it was just me not paying attention!!!!!

 

[F16]

Why try to hit SIX when you only need 2 runs

He wanted to prove that he was the next Dhoni who wins matches by hitting a 6 in the last ball / last over .

 

[GrandMaster]

In the last match against Pakistan, Dhoni hit a six and then took a single to finish the match (which was actually a six hitting ball).

I don't think Dhoni pre meditate and hit, have never seen him getting out in trying to hit a six.

 

[Imran's Tiger]

Although Dhoni is too much of a gentleman to do this but it would have been funny if after the match he went up to Mushfiqur Rahim and said 'Son its not over till its over... and now its over'

Check cricinfo. It was given a wide. They just didn't show the Umpire's signal

 

[max100]

i will say, its bad luck for Team BD, in my opinion, they are the best team in asian countries. one defeat doesnt mean anything, they are improving side.

 

[Convict]

At least Donald attempted to get a run

Did you watch the game? There was only 1 full toss dude.

They got humiliated by Pak 4 days ago LOL.

 

[simon619]

Absolutely disgusting and selfish batting. Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah went for the glory shots when all they needed is to tap it for two singles.

How can you not win needing 2 runs off 3 balls. Appalling.

2 runs to get off 2 full tosses mind you which they could have hit anywhere they liked but straight to the fielders hands going for glory

Dude only Riad's was a full toss. Go check the video

The criticism remains, he could have hit that wherever he wanted. Cowardly batting.

 

[rhony]

Agree with that. I've seen a lot of batsmen smash full tosses to sixes. It was surprising to see Pak batsmen yesterday and BD today failing to capitalize. Maybe they were slow to react, or couldn't read the bowlers' wrist. On a lighter note, maybe the Indian air is slow too like those pitches and they aren't able to time it. Either way, it was strange. Heck even MSD missed a leg stump full toss and was cursing himself. Something's going on

 

[cricketworm]

For those going bonkers and losing their head around it. Bangladesh isn't the first team to choke like this.

Never forget!

[Utube]T0mu07Fwh9w[/Utube]

I know they were tail, but still only 1 run needed to tie and 2 to win. Lols.

This is called cricket.

Every team has choked at some way or another. This kind of games drag us back to the game again and again.

For the thrill!

 

[Suleiman]

The criticism remains, he could have hit that wherever he wanted. Cowardly batting.

I remember in that 355 chase last year in the 4th ODI vs England. Malik and Sarfraz were rollicking along to gun it down with about 90 runs needed and run rate to down to run a ball - very manageable stuff. Malik struck a fifty, and then got a nice full toss by that big oaf Topley and lobbed it to midwicket for a catch

History could've been rewritten that day, and new legends created but not to be.

I guess sometimes the most dangerous delivery is full toss. Bradman said that IIRC.

Improving since last 25 years and still didnt know to take a single when 2 needed of 3 balls they are minnows and will remain that way.

I am so much more hopeful for Afghanistan.

well you can say it was down to brainfeeze, it happens sometimes. Yes it was painful to watch as a BD fan

But you can't really expect Afghanistan to replicate what we have done. Afghanistan had an easier group, they could have beaten SL and England, yet they didn't get too close to winning.

would have taken the singles easily and finished the game anyways isnt it the silent rule that first you tie a game before you win it....Bangladeshi players seems to live in the fools heaven their fans made for them.

Give Afghanistan test status and 15-16 years they will do much better than that...I am big supporter of associate cricket and I am positive given test status Ireland,Holland and Afghanistan will improve much faster.

Teams like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh are just doing nothing with the status they ate given their mindset is still of a minnow team.

Oh ofcourse we are not doing anything with what has been given to us. We only managed to win a series against minnows Pakistan, SA, India, compete in tests against SA, Pak, qualify for Asia Cup final and not to mention make teams like Australia and India struggle despite losing 2 key bowlers in the "middle" of the tournament. And all this in the space of 13 months

Yes we are minnows.

I am not denying that Ireland, Afghanistan are good, but people have this delusion that Ireland Afghanistan will develop much more quickly than us. Maybe they will peak quickly but we have a higher peak given the resources we have which Ireland-Afghanistan, unfortunately don't. I am a big supporter of associate cricket too.

But downplaying the achievement of a team and making baseless assumptions don't help. Fans forget that cricket itself is a difficult game and it takes a few decades to become a good side. There is only one exception which is Sri Lanka.

Just an example, Ireland have played in 2014 and 2016 T20 world cup and has 1 win in 6 matches, and that 1 win was against UAE. Now this is a team that has played in 09, 10 and 12 WT20 as well including beating us back in 2009 WT20 and you would assume that they will overtake us in the T20 format right because they play far more T20s than us, though against associates. People are only good as making hypothetical comments without much backing.

You have a fair point by mentioning that we were given test status prematurely. Hard to ague with that, but you could say that we had it coming because we made a lot of progress between 94-99. Afghanistan don't have any scope of hosting professional cricket matches and Ireland don't have much earning potential and have test matches televised. Bangladesh can, easily. Now ofcoure, i still want Ireland and Afghan to get test statuses soon, but more importantly, get to play more T20s and ODIs, and more fairer qualifcation for the World cups

 

[F16]

Well hope Bangaldesh will learn from this loss and emerge stronger . India's arrogance in the match against BANGALDESH costed them heavily in the 2007 WC and resulted in their premature exit and the arrogance of the Bangaldesh batsmen in the last over in the match against India proved too costly and will make them exit from this T20 WC 2016 .

Win a series at home only and yes Pakistan ODI and T20 are par with minnow team Afghanistan,Bangladesh etc in tests you now need to be more than competitive and win a series against some major team for a change.

It is not baseless but a reality when your team is still losing every major event in a fashion they did against India yesterday. Also Asia cup ?? who cares about Asia cup and qualifying when Pakistan and SriLanka both are may be going through worst phase of their history and the way India beat Bangladesh in final clearly shows how good a team Bangladesh is.

Again I am very confident likes of Afghanistan and Ireland will do much better because they show so much more potential on big stage and show better mental strength compared to Bangladesh.

Those full tosses were intentional, great thinking by dhoni, they got bangla youngsters into the trap. What a genius dhoni is.

 

[Executioner]

[MENTION=38994]dhump[/MENTION]

Afghanistan has shown mental strength? Afghanistan lost two matches against Sri Lanka and England both which they could have won easily but they failed miserably. The SA match when there was no pressure they scored quite freely knowing they had nothing to lose. Ireland couldn't defend 190 against netherlands last time, this time they absolutely whithered away against Oman!

Bangladesh won a tense match against Netherlands don't forget. We also beat England in a crucial match in the world cup! Oh, we also were under the pump to win a few matches in 2015 to qualify for the CT and funnily enough we did it with ease.

Not only would ireland and Afghan not get close to winning, they simple wouldn't win against India even if they got close. If you can't beat Oman in a pressure game, you sure can't as hell beat India in similar situations.

 

[Obstructing_the_field]

even a street match would have a simpler end...

1) Why would 2 batsmen who have had so much international experience do this

2) with Dhoni, u need 2 of 3 balls, wouldnt u bring in all the fielders inside the 30 yard circle? I would and thts the common sense.... unless.....

too much fishy things in there to avoid...

That's why dhoni is the best limited overs captain ever and you are not

 

[JaDed]

It seems some Pakistani posters aren't able to digest the defeat accusing of something fishy or money happens.

Afghans are good but very far away from Bangladesh,T20 is a tough game we have seem associates have good day and can defeat a top team but that doesn't mean they can regularly perform like that.

Afghans have no fitness plus their fielding is in shambles,Bangladesh is doing everything right their ground fielding has been good running between the wickets have improved some great captaincy by Mashrafe after the debacle against Australia,It takes time to win ICC tournaments and tbh i don't even remember England winning anything except T20Wc 2010.

 

[DHONI183]

Possibly the most unbelievable match of my life! Wow, I still can´t believe, and the match was the first thing that I thought of after waking up today.

I had been complaining the last two-three days that, although we have had quite good matches so far, but that one-run or last-ball thriller hasn´t quite come our way yet. Well, I got my wish but it involving MS Dhoni was the last thing I could have wished for.

Incredibly lucky, India. Punjabi Muslims often give the name "Allah Ditta" to the newborns, well, here´s a match that India should give the same name to. Still, one thing I must give them credit for in the last over was their fielding. They held onto their chances under extreme pressure and that catch by Ravindra Jadeja was very good. Fielding in general was good the last four-five overs, coming to think of the amount of ground Rohit Sharma covered outside the circle on the off-side, although they did drop three chances overall.

Poor [MENTION=7299]UP[/MENTION] got trolled big time by the Bangladesh batsmen. He punched the floor in delight when Mushfiqur Rahim paddle-swept the third ball for four .

I'm surprised Afridi could look at tanvir there at the end.

BD was worse to be honest. With this one you knew you just needed the one wicket and the other would follow.

It is, because if you don't middle it you are screwed but that batsman could have hit it wherever he wanted and it wasn't as if he needed a chukkah. One thing I got to say is that, the bowler deserved the wicket for his determination to nail the yorker, even if he didn't pull it off it's the mindset. It's the same mindset that helped Gul win the World Cup for Pak, Yorker is the ultimate delivery in T20 cricket.

Oh well am not bothered anymore, we couldn't beat India that's all I wanted in this tournament ) and BD had to job out, do you think anything fishy could have gone on

They fought till the end, Dhoni lead the team like a man possessed he had that eye of the tiger and demeanour which suggested you would have to knock him out unconscious to walk out with a victory. He never gave up and each move he made was nothing to do with luck but calculated execution. I don't think it's anything to do with genius, he just doesn't falter under pressure and his brain cells actually work. India are unstoppable at the moment.

Who knows, Pak may defeat Australia tomorrow and Aus may defeat us at Mohali, hence sending Pak to the semis.

Maybe a dream farewell is around the corner for Lala like Sachin in the last world cup in India

 

[aniket1911]

Always feel, it's like anti-climax of sorts.

We are historically a batting side and our most famous victories/moments have been bowlers pulling out a miracle.
We need a batting equivalent of such moments like miandad's six.

I didn't comment on that because that was not brainless - these are few occurrences that happens to any team in their history - I have never written anything on PAK's 43 or IND 's 258 runs loss to SRL.

That match against IND was a totally different learning - don't think the match is over before it's won; apart from that, it was one of the most clinical matches that we played ever - not many team has outclassed IND at home in all 3 departments.

Bangladesh batting is much methodical than Pakistan, it took me 2 matches to comment that next match Soumya might bat lower down the order.

Yes they did but you have to undestand the circumstances...
Bangladesh played the 3 games before that in high altitude (cold weather) and English condition... suddenly they are flown to Calcutta, had a day of practise and asked to play against pakistan (the team who not only played practise matches on the ground but also used the same pitch)..

[proud_pakistani]

I have a few Bengali friends and they are rightfully disgusted. Pandey has been branded a hero for no reason at all. Both deliveries he got the wickets in were nothing spectacular and batsmen of the calibre batting should have gotten those runs. Really pathetic and this loss shows the temperament deficiencies with Bangladesh.

 

[Indieview]

The problem with some Fans in BD is, they think there team is Australia and they have far too much expectation on this team to beat sh*t out of every team which is not going to happen. They are far too emotional, We got to see crying tiger painted faces in all the matches. At first I thought the fans are passionate but in recent matches the fans seem to be annoying, ignorant to the reality.

You are right, but that happens to every growing team in their rising state. If you are good reader of sports history, you 'll know how it was in West Indies in 30s, 40s; in Latin America on soccer, even in 60s, 70s - mass suicide took place in Brazil, Argentina, after a WC defeat, even in Final. The exuberance that I see in Bangladesh is great for the game - this is the way generation & heritage builds.

Now the esteem of mass in Bangladesh has changed from "almost we competed with IND/AUS" to "why didn't we win against IND/AUS" - the frustration 'll always be more expressive. It's very similar to what happened in African football in 80s, 90s. Even in India, 70,000 paid crowd came to watch on 5th day morning at Eden '1971 to see IND knocking 15 required to win a Test. It's not Hasina only - Pandit Neheru cancelled a Cabinet meeting to watch India beating England in 1952 Delhi Test. Opposite is when Eden crowd set fire on stadium facing defeat for IND (I am not talking 1996, check IND-AUS 1966). That's very common to a country, who had been in receiving & end & making their way up.

The reason for this over hype/expectation - most common people don't analyze the game the way we do, therefore they are exposed to more media mockery & false bravado than reality. The expectation barometer is based on emotion, always, rather than analysis; and these days cheap internet/access has brought the mass population into discussion panel, therefore it's rowdy & often classless. If you go to Pakistan, you 'll find majority still believing that Afridi holds the fastest century record.

Few years back, BD-IRL dead rubber was sell-out; this year I have seen half empty gallery against Pakistan, few years time you 'll see more polished crowd & more selective crowd. That's the transition of history - human life is too small, we can see only 20, 30, may be 40 years; but history has it's own path. One of Amol Palekar's best movie (Chupke Chupke) was built around IND-PAK hockey series - now, I am sure lot of young-men 'll laugh around that .......

It's very similar to what happened in African football in 80s, 90s. Even in India, 70,000 paid crowd came to watch on 5th day morning at Eden '1971 to see IND knocking 15 required to win a Test. It's not Hasina only - Pandit Neheru cancelled a Cabinet meeting to watch India beating England in 1952 Delhi Test. Opposite is when Eden crowd set fire on stadium facing defeat for IND (I am not talking 1996, check IND-AUS 1966). That's very common to a country, who had been in receiving & end & making their way up.

The reason for this over hype/expectation - most common people don't analyze the game the way we do, therefore they are exposed to more media mockery & false bravado than reality. The expectation barometer is based on emotion, always, rather than analysis; and these days cheap internet/access has brought the mass population into discussion panel, therefore it's rowdy & often classless. If you go to Pakistan, you 'll find majority still believing that Afridi holds the fastest century record.

Few years back, BD-IRL dead rubber was sell-out; this year I have seen half empty gallery against Pakistan, few years time you 'll see more polished crowd & more selective crowd. That's the transition of history - human life is too small, we can see only 20, 30, may be 40 years; but history has it's own path. One of Amol Palekar's best movie (Chupke Chupke) was built around IND-PAK hockey series - now, I am sure lot of young-men 'll laugh around that .......

blah blah blah....

FTFY

As interesting as is the analysis, the immaturish behaviour from a vast swarm of BD fans is not justifiable. Sane voices are very very less.

Add to it, the publicly shedding of tears from the players, the childish chest bumps and falling down in a fit of giggles, the premature and silly celebrations.. all points to a state of mind which is a heady concoction of immature kids trying to be overtly combative.

Bangladesh's test status should be stripped. Its not even their fault but they are just not good enough. They are usually so physically weak that they cant hit full tosses for six, as seen in the india game. Plus they are like balls of emotions, getting emotional about everything. Its ridiculous and professional players cant afford to be so emotional. There is no point giving them so much resources, when we can give them to nations like afghanistan and netherlands who have the physical and mental genes to succeed in this sport.

You are right and it is annoying...I completely agree...

But it is not any less annoying than watching indian fans buring effigy or Pak fans going over the burial ritual with a cricket bat ...

Your entire focus on yesterday's game was to knock India out of World cup. There weren't many BD fans wishing to go to semis. No. All they want is to defeat India in India and knock them out of the world cup in their backyard. A team like NZ, SA, AUS, ENG don't behave that way. Their primary focus is to win the game for their advancement.

There is a victim mentality right from your board to the fans. Rest of the world is always conspiring against you for some reason. Big teams don't behave that way. If you want to be respected, you need to achieve a lot still and be humble.

I dont know why few fans have a problem with BD rising in cricket. I mean a strong BD is fantastic for world cricket. We need to encourage them more. Agreed their fans are absolutely attrocious but what is the fault of class players like Mustafizur, Shakib, Tamim etc for few fans?? We must support BD and pray for their team to grow more. Also BD fans need to be more mature.

We need a strong Pakistan instead of Bangladesh. Most of Pakistani fanbase is a classy and they seem to able to create exciting talents like Amir & Asif from time to time. However most of Bangla fans are just weird and flat out annoying, a lot of these idiots actually believe BCCI is the reason Taskin got banned, are you kidding me ?? Taskin is just an avg bowler, heck we had guys like Asif, Steyn, Mcgrath etc who terrorized India to no avail and they didn't get banned for chucking.. Shows how low their intelligence really is, they are soooo off in lala land that they make Afridi's IQ look superior... Good riddance I wouldn't want anything to do with them, I now feel like kicking Dalmiya on his head as he played a role in them getting the test cricket status....

It's surprising actually, if you look at West Bengal normally people are studious, intelligent, calculative and balanced.

Other side of border people are extremely emotional, naive and believe conspiracies a lot.

I am not talking about masses but normal educated youth. Are there any Bengali Indian posters in DB? I would like to know their view on Bdesh and its people!
