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

[coy0607]

turning into a joke of a semi final

india totally dominant, as expected

 

[JaDed]

50 up for us.

 

[darksher]

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.

Ganguly had a record to speak of and he was a brilliant batsman unlike him, Mashrafe is neither here nor there, is ordinary in both departments and seems unfit, his solitary role is to motivate the boys on field from what I can gather as he's rubbish in everything else.

 

[Mlscicfan]

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

Too many injuries .. ruined Mortaza career. But inspiring captain, respects opposition teams and captain unlike that clown Musfiq joke of a captain for BD.

 

[dauntless]

Shikhar is best batsman from Asia so good of a player.A beast in champions trophy.some Indian fans were saying he is not good enough to feature in the team.LOL.
Go man go smash these trundlers!

 

[mayankp.sverige]

Dhawan on fire

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sabbir for all the axe cutting could not score like this lol

 

[Mainul]

I haven't seen a single ball of Indian innings.Who wants to see an one sided affair?Both these semis have been boring.Only the Indo Pak fans would enjoy it.

 

[big_gamer007]

Damn Dhawan showing how it's done [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION] Fakhar zaman can improve his batting against short pitched bowling by looking at Dhawan and maybe after the final having a chat with Dhawan and asking him how he practices against short pitched bowling..

 

[msb314]

Six!!!

 

[SandyB]

and

Dhawan on fayaahhhh..


Man he's exceeded ALL EXPECTATIONS. I won't mind him hanging on till 2019 WC..

The return of investment in tourneys is staggering !!

 

[JaDed]

Dhawan has become confident as the tournament has progressed.

 

[LastManstanding]

Come on Rohit. Give the strike to Dhawan.

 

[Sam18696]

Lol it was expected.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Yeah Mashrafee should retire, such a liability

 

[jnaveen1980]

They better get shakib on

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

If only the Australia-Bangladesh game wasn't washed out.

 

[big_gamer007]

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

Too many injuries .. ruined Mortaza career. But inspiring captain, respects opposition teams and captain unlike that clown Musfiq joke of a captain for BD.

He can be a great captain but he needs to take a backseat and groom youngsters.. Right now his bowling seems to be a liability I'm sure you have better bowlers in your domestic system who can take his place

 

[Usman Chadda]

This match is a joke.

 

[Adil_94]

India will make 266/2. Dhawan century incoming.

 

[JaDed]

Dhawan back to back CT most runs getter?

 

[ToeCrusher2]

[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.

Like I said mark my post and check back during 2019 World Cup to see where bhuvi stands and where hasan and junaid stand

 

[troodon]

WHat happened to Taskin? Looks like a rubbish bowler. He was good a couple of years ago.

Mustafiz does not look fit. That mystery seems to be gone.

 

[big_gamer007]

Shikhar is best batsman from Asia so good of a player.A beast in champions trophy.some Indian fans were saying he is not good enough to feature in the team.LOL.
Go man go smash these trundlers!

He finds his form in ICC events for some reason so hard good for us.. But before the tournament he didn't look in he best of forms

 

[troodon]

This match is a joke.

Its a lollipop pitch.

India did well to restrict BD to 264.

 

[dhurandharj]

clearly statistics is not a favorite of yours !

Bangladesh's bowling has been downright terrible. All over the place and some predictable trundling.

 

[msb314]

Bangladesh bowling attack is toothless.

 

[Sunzi]

Should have started with Taksin and Rubel. The trundlers have allowed them to get their eye in; any edge Taksin and Rubel may have had is completely diminished, as is being witnessed.

 

[Mlscicfan]

Fizz was overrated by Deshi fans.. found out now ! 2

He is Bangla's Pandya. Just bowls short balls come what may. No brain and thinking.

 

[SandyB]

Some nice Bragging by Ganguly .. Debut lord's hundred. Yet underachieved in tests.

 

[desi_launda]

He is Bangla's Pandya. Just bowls short balls come what may. No brain and thinking.

Pandya is a hitter who can bowl.Taskin is a frontline bowler

 

[SandyB]

Fizz was overrated by Deshi fans.. found out now ! 2

Like what happened to Ajantha mendis.

 

[Napa]

If you combined Bangladesh's batting with Pakistan's bowling, that team would be competitive with India.

 

[Napa]

If only the Australia-Bangladesh game wasn't washed out.

Australia was losing to NZ and was saved by rain. So it was a sort of justice.

 

[Hitman]

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.

Not just that, the entire Indian team members inject themselves with banned substances like Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif used to. It's because the ICC needs revenue due to which thhose players have always got away with it.

 

[ind_win]

This pitch appears to be a 325-330 ish type. And. Spinners will have a role in that....the score from BD although good, I am not sure how good their spinners are...meanwhile just another 'routine' shot by Dhawan.

 

[JaDed]

What filth bowling by Rubel,bowling to the pads, BD fans in the stadium sleeping.

 

[CricFan2012]

Jai hind, proud to be an Indian today

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Jai hind, proud to be an Indian today

You had DOUBT?

 

[CricFan2012]

Wanted to see Yuvi play on his 300th game but it looks like he won't even come out to bad

 

[Mlscicfan]

Wanted to see Yuvi play on his 300th game but it looks like he won't even come out to bad

Let Yuvi get MOM on Sunday, like he got vs Pak earlier

 

[Mlscicfan]

Icc has no option but bow down to india,imagine if India would've boycotted the tournament,the sponsers broadcaster would've put icc to task the whole tourney could've been jepordized...that's the poweress of India in the world today

Also tournament would have missed a complete team like India !

 

[Hitman]

Save your excuses for the final, you'll desperately need them.

 

[big_gamer007]

Should milk Shakib for 6 an over easy singles

 

[CricFan2012]

Let Yuvi get MOM on Sunday, like he got vs Pak earlier

I think the MOTM will be Jadhav as it will be a close chase for India against Pakistan, their bowling will be miles better with improved Hasan Ali and no dross from Wuahab

 

[King Kong]

Don't understand the stick Mortaza is getting here. He is the only one who is fighting hard in this match. 30(25) and bowled 7 overs on the trot with the figures of 0-25.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

I bet Bangla Boys would very soon remind Indian fans how Pak would walk over India on 18th

 

[King Kong]

England must be wishing they were batting on a pitch like this. Poor guys.

 

[MRSN]

Australia was losing to NZ and was saved by rain. So it was a sort of justice.

At least NZ would have qualified and we would have seen a better sf. This is just rubbish

 

[msb314]

Boring game so far.

 

[JaDed]

Don't understand the stick Mortaza is getting here. He is the only one who is fighting hard in this match. 30(25) and bowled 7 overs on the trot with the figures of 0-25.

He is bowling at 123.

 

[MMHS]

Eh bhai Rohit & Shekhar - jao, jara rest lo bhai. Virat or UV ko practice karna hai ......

The slimmest of chance that we had was to bowl first & try to chase something - so, Mash lost the toss & barish ko unsi waqt aana tha. Not sure how chasing side lost 4 of the last 5/6 here, but at Edgebaston, under sun, it's impossible to defend almost anything.

 

[QalandarFan]

Just turned it on and

 

[JaDed]

Dhawan gets a brain freeze!

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Ok Kohli will get to bat today.. Dhawan out

 

[dauntless]

Nooo!!! Man!! Should have scored century! He was looking so good.His pull shot is one of the best in the business

 

[ToeCrusher2]

At least NZ would have qualified and we would have seen a better sf. This is just rubbish

A team that lost to bangladesh will give better sf than Bangladesh ? Don't you remember what we did to nz in the warm up

 

[MMHS]

Good, it's not one of those rare 10 wicket loss. 87 strikes.

 

[JaDed]

Missed out on a easy 100 ,can see it on his face. Lets see now can Bangla sneak in 2 more?

 

[msb314]

Put!!!

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Dhawan saving his best for the finals

 

[Specialisttailender]

I desperately wished few times that we lost few early wickets to make matches interesting.

 

[MSaad1237]

Out!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

5fer coming

 

[dauntless]

Virat the best chaser ever is in now

 

[big_gamer007]

Missed opportunity Shikhar but well played

 

[Sunzi]

Kohli in to pad his average

 

[King Kong]

He is bowling at 123.

Their other "fast" guns are getting smacked to all parts.

 

[Sidilicious]

Oh dear. things could go pear shaped from here on.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Kohli in to pad his average

He desperately needs to pad his knockout games average

 

[King Kong]

Shikhar Dhawan in CT:

114(94)
102(107)*
48(41)
68(92)
31(24)
68(65)
125(128)
78(83)
46(34)

680 runs in nine innings.

 

[pillionrider]

Where is that rubel guy. Wanna see him have a go at virat

 

[ads101]

I haven't seen a single ball of Indian innings.Who wants to see an one sided affair?Both these semis have been boring.Only the Indo Pak fans would enjoy it.

at least you could admire Pakistan's bowling performance first innings of that match. Not the case today, was some average bowling and poor fielding placements by the indians against Bangladesh, with Bangladesh essentially bottling a 300 score to a part timer. Not being rude to India they bowl well a lot of the time, but today I felt as a bowling unit they were underpar for them. India have batted well, and some stylish shots, but if there's no competition of the chase, is a bit dull.

 

[big_gamer007]

Good knock by rohit today best of the tournament for him so far

 

[Specialisttailender]

I hope we lose 2-3 quick wickets in the next 10 overs.

 

[Sane.Cricket.Fan]

Sharma jee ka Fifty

 

[msb314]

Boundaries flowing again!

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Get retired out already and give some batting practice to the middle order before the final
