ICC CT 2017, 2nd Semi-final | India [265/1] beat Bangladesh [264/7] by 9 wickets

[big_gamer007]

Bowling lacks any movement so far

 

[Mainul]

Havent seen Mustafizur Rahman perform much since 2015. Seems to me he is just another case of a bowler who has been figured out.

He is literally half the bowler he was in 2015.Bangladesh bowling also looks half strength.

 

[Mlscicfan]

Only Pakistan can defend this total against India.

ha ha ... like they gave 319 (48 overs) in group match vs India !

 

[big_gamer007]

Hoping for another 100+ partnership here

 

[Sunzi]

These 2 will knock this off. Bowling looks docile.

 

[Coconut]

All this Fizz hype - "best bowler in Asia"

Toothless trundler.

Why r u making fun of world's fastest spinner? :

 

[big_gamer007]

Dayummmmmm beautiful shot

 

[big_gamer007]

Why r u making fun of world's fastest spinner? :

Hahaha nah still slower than Afridi or peak Kumble

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Chase it in 40

 

[darksher]

Absolutely smoked it to the boundary.

 

[LastManstanding]

Talent in full flow

 

[big_gamer007]

Sharma looks like in top form today

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Mediocre team got lucky Australia would have been a great spectacle.

 

[Mlscicfan]

What a shot ROHIT !

 

[darksher]

Rohit is the classiest batsman in world cricket, his shots are a treat to watch.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hmm how are we going to beat India when they're batting like this?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can't blame bowlers on this wicket. Fresh wicket Flat wicket. BD team needs used pitch like pak had against England

 

[BhayanakMaut]

keep continuing like this and you wont get past 10 posts on here Mr Indian troll

Fine, I won't post unless I gather the intellect and cricketing wisdom to come up with gems like this

its because this is a pakistani forum and we tolerate your blabberings..none of us care about India or its bowlers in truth..

 

[Coconut]

Wow what a spinner.

 

[msb314]

India running away with it!

 

[SandyB]

Talent ! What it could've been !

 

[Mainul]

ha ha ... like they gave 319 (48 overs) in group match vs India !

Pakistan is a another team since then.They will make India sweat in the final.

 

[BlueAngel]

Couple of Beauties from Rohit

 

[SandyB]

Pitch is super flat . You can judge the flatness from Sharma's strokeplay ..


Another ..

 

[big_gamer007]

Rohit needs to score a 150+ score today

 

[roshanrocks]

Wrong bowlers opening the bowling in my opinion

 

[jnaveen1980]

I remember mortaza was asked to defend 26 runs in the 20th over 2nd edition of IpL Rohit made 26 runs lol

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

What a boring and one sided game.

 

[Pakpak]

No movement, no pace just very docile. I really like Fizz but this just looks too easy for India right now.

 

[big_gamer007]

Pitch is super flat . You can judge the flatness from Sharma's strokeplay ..


Another ..

BD does not seem to have a good new ball bowler who can swing andnseam around the new ball for first few overs..

 

[dauntless]

For a reason they are worst bowling team in the tournament

 

[LastManstanding]

What a boring and one sided game.

Who will you support in the final?

 

[big_gamer007]

The Deccan charger days?

 

[ToeCrusher2]

[MENTION=141093]big_gamer007[/MENTION] so bhuvi who averages 38 in ODI cricket is the best in Asia. Better than Hasan who averages 23 in ODI cricket.

Bumrah has an impressive record but BK isnt anything special.

That's the mistake everyone makes , even a noob can read stats off a sheet but it takes great cricketing acumen to actually see the potential of a player, bhuvi is no longer the same bhuvi 2-3 years ago, he's a changed bowler, he's one of the most clever bowler in world cricket, he has increased his speed and uses his brain to outfox the batsman, those skills will soon transform into stats in the next 2-3 years, mark my words

 

[BlueAngel]

Rohit hogs all the strike and usually slow while shikher watches from other side.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mustafiz is so overrated

 

[jnaveen1980]

Think about how savor was batting at this point lol

 

[Napa]

3 of the classiest shots I have seen in the entire tournament, all 4s. Rohit on fire.

 

[Mlscicfan]

What a boring and one sided game.

Yea, even first semi was bore-fest. Hope will have cracker final on Sunday 2

 

[jnaveen1980]

The Deccan charger days?

Yes

 

[Pakpak]

Mashrafe bowling at 79, goodness sake.

 

[ads101]

Bangladesh really needed runs on the board to apply some sort of run rate pressure. Looks like India are breezing it.

 

[darksher]

It would be a travesty if Mashrafe manages to pick up a wicket, such a harmless trundler, if it weren't for captaincy, doubt he would've been in BD side, doesn't deserve a spot based on merit alone.

 

[SandyB]

Want sharmaji to score a big one. Just to rub it in after 2015 ..

 

[Pakpak]

Taskin's action

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taskin should have opened Not 128 k trundlers

 

[big_gamer007]

Mashrafe bowling at 79, goodness sake.

Past his prime should consider retiring and let youngsters get opportunity after this tournament..

 

[Coconut]

Haha, where r all the Bangladeshi supporters. Lol.

 

[dauntless]

Rohit the FTB will score a century today against the worst bowling unit

 

[SandyB]

He's a huge part of why Bangladesh is so much better now. Remember ganguly ? Dude was in poor form throughout his captaincy stint. Yet Indian's don't diss on him that much.

 

[big_gamer007]

Wow shot that's how you pull, Fakhar Zaman should learn from him..

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh really needed runs on the board to apply some sort of run rate pressure. Looks like India are breezing it.

You cannot apply run rate pressure on them to these IPL veterans. Take wickets with good bowling That is the only option

 

[darksher]

Mashrafe bowling at 79, goodness sake.

Can't wrap my head around how he's a permanent fixture in BD side, his bowling seems toothless and doesn't offer much with the bat either except for a few wild hacks that paid off today. He'd struggle to find a spot in BD side if it weren't for his captaincy.

 

[Napa]

His elbow looks pretty straight to me. You think he straightens it by more than 15 degrees?

Bumrah and Jadeja are chckers and so was Harbhaja.Had they not been Indians they would have been banned.ICC needs the revenue so it will never ban any Indian bowler for even if he chucks blatantly.

Thanks for answering my question.

 

[LastManstanding]

Rohit plays too many dot balls.

 

[Mp812]

No he does not need to... he needs to give other batters a chance too )

 

[cricfan967]

But.. Bangladesh has a higher chance of qualifying than Pakistan...they're the new Asian giants... [MENTION=144456]bujhee kom[/MENTION]

 

[Coconut]

Mashrafee isn't fit enough to play even school lvl cricket. He should have been forced to retire right after 15 world Cup. He's a rubbish trundler, nothing else.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not many bowlers can tie Indians down consistently without taking wickets. One rare guy was Daniel vettori

 

[big_gamer007]

Rohit plays some beautiful shots but need to rotate strike a bit more..

 

[ExplicitAI]

Indian crowd is the most colourful

 

[Usman Chadda]

But.. Bangladesh has a higher chance of qualifying than Pakistan...they're the new Asian giants... [MENTION=144456]bujhee kom[/MENTION]

Bangladesh would definitely have beaten England and breezed through to the final. Unfortunate that they've had to face India. Next time maybe. #2ndBestAsianTeam

 

[Coconut]

I'm missing all the minnowdesh supporters.

 

[msb314]

Boundaries are flowing for India

 

[big_gamer007]

When he burst onto the scene he was the first real "pacer" BD had.. But he needs to retire now after this tournament.. His bowling is as toothless as it can get right now

 

[jnaveen1980]

8 fours in 7 overs

 

[SandyB]

Cringe time. ganguly-bot on !.

 

[Mp812]

India batting risk free. Take single when available and score 4 when loose ball is gifted.
This strategy may not work in final.
Need to be aggressive and score faster. This tuk tuk is boring.

It always works. Prevents top order collapses.

Him and Yuvi are from the same generation .. Veterans on their last legs. I guess this tourney will be it for Mashrafe. Shouldn't play till 2019WC..

 

[JaDed]

Good shot Dhawan

 

[Napa]

Quite clean hitting by India till now... no edges going for boundaries, no mishits eluding fielders.

U'll be quite surprised to know that many bangla fans still want him to continue till 19 wc.

Hmm. trying to lure us into playing over-aggressive in the final, I see.

Yes exactly

 

[msb314]

Hard to say who is batting better - Shubham or Rohit.

Such is the fluency in their batting.

 

[roshanrocks]

Dhawan pulling India closer to the target

 

[Sunzi]

Getting torn apart here, Bangladesh.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Dhawan

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=144269]ToeCrusher2[/MENTION] yes u can talk about stats spreadsheet. But Bhuvi isnt a wicket taker. Junaid n Hasan are better wicket takers than him.

He is an economical bowling machine. But because he bowls beauties like bananas coming out of his hand . indian fans overrate him. He is nothing special.
