ICC CT 2017 : Group A | Bangladesh [268/5] beat New Zealand [265/8] by 5 wickets [Kiwis knocked out]

[MMHS]

What do you think of Mashrafee's captaincy so far?

Better than what other alternatives we have. You have seen batu leading the charges ..........

 

[Madplayer]

Come on Bangladesh. Lets win today.

 

[Madplayer]

You think he is in the team just because of his captaincy?

 

[MMHS]

Come on Bangladesh. Lets win today.

We can chase 250 in similar condition, 275 if it's bright sunshine in afternoon. Mline will trouble here.

 

[MMHS]

You think he is in the team just because of his captaincy?

Actually, he bowls well with new ball. Still probably highest rated Asian pacer, but biggest asset is leadership indeed.

 

[MMHS]

What is Athur talking,after 33% short bowling from pacer on such a morning?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Better than what other alternatives we have. You have seen batu leading the charges ..........

Quite true, Batu and Shakib shouldn't be anywhere near captaincy, don't know who can captain Bangladesh next, Riyadh or maybe Sabbir

 

[MMHS]

It should be Mosaddek, deputizing Sakib till 2019, no other option. Tamim shouldn't be overloaded during his rich form.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

giving away too many easy singles, terrible fielding

 

[Madplayer]

We can chase 250 in similar condition, 275 if it's bright sunshine in afternoon. Mline will trouble here.

But milne usually bowls gun barrel straight. Think BD cant handle out and out pace? I think they are capable in that regard. Its the swing bowlers i feel might trouble BD batsmen. Need to restrict NZ to around 240.

Cardiff is one of the best batting surface under sun, unless there is someone with sheer pace. And, it's a grave yard for spinners in general.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Man Taylor looks set for a big one

 

[MMHS]

I believe, Long was the man gave Sakib LBW last match on identical combination - Offie bowling round the wicket to lefti, charging down the line ..............

Hawkeye shows missing by a distance

Hawkeye shows missing by a distance

Doesn't matter - it wasn't out, neither the last one. Shakib was at least 9 feet from the wicket & playing shot.

 

[MMHS]

Need to get one, or we are chasing SRL's target .........

 

[Titan24]

Highest rated? Might have more wickets than the current lot but I wont agree with highest rated thingy. Yes his is a good bowler, thats it.

 

[MMHS]

No, he is 14th on the table - highest ranked Asian pacer. It's ICC ODI bowling ranking I am talking about.

Oh! Ok, fair enough.

 

[czar]

Lucky run out for Bangladesh

 

[Shafi]

NZ needs 320+ to win this match. Tamim is super hot form

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Lucky run out for Bangladesh

Dot balls built the pressure that resulted in that miscommunication.

People underestimate the value of dot balls in LOI cricket.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Nz following the Indian batting strategy, it might work against bangladesh but it will backfire against big team, the run rate is too low, unless the pitch conditions are different from the matches we've seen till now

 

[czar]

Dot balls built the pressure that resulted in that miscommunication.

People underestimate the value of dot balls in LOI cricket.

Dot balls are precious, the more the better.

If not for the run out, one of the batsmen could have been out dismissed trying to up the ante. Very good tight bowling by Bangladesh.

 

[MMHS]

From RR of around 5.7, they have pulled it down to 5.1 level, but that hasn't resulted more than one wicket.

 

[Shafi]

That's CrinInfo - I know from my source.

You coi;d have seen as well - 1st January 1990...., 2004 SSC batch.

What is the par score in this pitch?

 

[czar]

But NZ still have some of the biggest hitters yet to come.

Corey Anderson
Neeshan
Santner

Even Mills can hit them big. Should get 300 with ease if one of the senior batsman holds one end up.

 

[MMHS]

What is the par score in this pitch?

Depends on cloud coverage - on a sunny afternoon, teams should chase 300 - straight boundary if around 65 metres, squire boundary around 60. Shakib has bowled exceptionally well, otherwise spinners has no place on this ground.

Having said that, we'll be chasing 2nd time for a QF like match - first one didn't go well.

 

[czar]

Bright sunshine as the ground. Giving boundaries to Broom of all people.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mustafiz has been very poor

 

[Rayyman]

Great over from the Fizz

 

[czar]

Leaking runs now

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Nz will struggle to reach even 300 with this horrible run rate, what's happening, what' the plan, is the pitch too good

 

[MMHS]

Those 2 opening overs by Mustafiz was a wastage - should have bowled after 25 overs in 2 spells.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I have to say Athar Ali Khan is undoubtedly the worst commentator out there right now......Makes Ramiz look like an ATG commie

 

[czar]

Taylor gone. Opportunity for Bangladesh to get some dot balls and restrict the score further.

 

[BDwarriors]

Nz will struggle to reach even 300 with this horrible run rate, what's happening, what' the plan, is the pitch too good

They will slog soon. 310+ is sure.

 

[Rayyman]

Taskin is a good bowler. Can be a future great for Bangladesh.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Taskin is a good bowler. Can be a future great for Bangladesh.

I am watching the game bro......Chucking like there is no tomorrow !!

 

[Shafi]

NZ choked.Should be easy win for BD.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mustafiz will be wicketless this tour

 

[RehanG]

Please someone kick this Attar out of the commentary box this guy is pain in ur ears

 

[Rayyman]

Man I wanna see some hitting. Enough of this tuk tuk.

 

[bujhee kom]

Fizz has too much quality to fail. Just wait.

I think they made a greener track to ensure BD's best weapon would be blunted. ICC still stuck in 'Elite 8' mindset.

NZ will score 280-285 and we will chase it.

Joy Bangla!

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mashrafee's last two overs will cost us 30+ runs

 

[MMHS]

Mashrafee's last two overs will cost us 30+ runs

Most likely, he won't bowl

 

[Aman]

Neither team deserves to qualify.

I hope Aus beat England.

 

[Shafi]

Why NZ dropped Munro?

 

[Aman]

NZ choked.Should be easy win for BD.

Not choking, our middle is rubbish and has been for a while.

Broom and Ronchi are not international standard.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Neither team deserves to qualify.

I hope Aus beat England.

It's always fun to see australia knocked out as it rarely happens, doesn't matter who deserves or not, I hope England beat Australia

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

I am muting this tripe. One of the best commie of our time Ian Bishop is paired with an absolute clown. Someone tell me when Athar goes of the mic and I'll resume my volume again.....

 

[Aman]

It's always fun to see australia knocked out as it rarely happens, doesn't matter who deserves or not, I hope England beat Australia

I want the best sides in the SFs, NZ and Bangladesh are easy beats with a non existent middle and lower order.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

If australia lose to england then clearly they aren't the best side, they got out of jail against nz thanks to rain

 

[bujhee kom]

Silly statement.

 

[Aman]

Neil Broom

How does he get a gig

 

[bujhee kom]

If australia lose to england then clearly they aren't the best side, they got out of jail against nz thanks to rain

Also escaped against us as 100 runs is a lot.

 

[Aman]

If australia lose to england then clearly they aren't the best side, they got out of jail against nz thanks to rain

They'll be far more competitive than NZ in the SFs. If they beat England, they deserve to qualify.

 

[Aman]

A loss might be good if it finally sees the end of Ronchi and Broom.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[Aman]

Pathetic

[Arsalan Pro]

And Gone!!!

 

[Aman]

How do you miss that? )

 

[Arsalan Pro]

NZ in trouble now

 

[Aman]

Our batting is stuffed below Kane.

Taylor is finished and the rest are either rubbish or out of form.

Ireland could bowl us out, that's how rubbish our middle and lower order is.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Brilliant decision to bowl with Mosaddek in death

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Terrible by NZ

 

[troodon]

NZ has enough bowling to trouble BD. All they need is get close to 300.

 

[Dios]

He is 30+, coming back from an injury.

Rubel is not 30+. I don't care who your source is.

 

[MMHS]

Brilliant decision to bowl with Mosaddek in death

Because of few lefti in Kiwi line up

 

[Aman]

NZ has enough bowling to trouble BD. All they need is get close to 300.

I'll be shocked if we get 40 more runs

 

[MMHS]

Rubel is not 30+. I don't care who your source is.

As if I bothered

 

[Aman]

I hope the experiment with bits and pieces cricketers is over after this tournament.

Ronchi, Broom and Anderson out.

 

[yasir]

Used wickets are more suitable to Asian sides than western, since wickets are not fresh anymore, dry wickets means more spin, more reverse swing in the play, second half of the tournament might suit Asians more , good news for us, if we get a win against SL

 

[Rayyman]

Lol Mortaza bringing himself on when NZ is struggling

 

[roshanrocks]

Bangladesh on course for semi finals. Totally damaged the kiwis.

Easy chase for Tamim and Co.

 

[yasir]

I hope the experiment with bits and pieces cricketers is over after this tournament.

Ronchi, Broom and Anderson out.

NZ always had millions of bits and pieces allrounder, as far as I can remember. I don't think that is ever going to change!!

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Worst nightmare for Indian fans if both Pak and Bangladesh make it to the semis and India is knocked out

 

[Shutdown Corner]

I hope the experiment with bits and pieces cricketers is over after this tournament.

Ronchi, Broom and Anderson out.

Anderson is a blazer and with an average of 28 a pretty good one at that. Certainly no worse than de Grandhomme.

Ronchi is a hack, Latham should play ahead of him.

Who would replace broom? Nathan McCullum? Who are the other lower middle order guys who can bat at 5-6?

 

[Rayyman]

Good bowling by BD
