ICC WT20 2016 | Australia beat Bangladesh by 3 wickets

[lahoriyah1234]

Lolz.. Bangla showing they are still minnows as soon as they are out of the tiger santuary

Exactly just like India making a TURNER INSTEAD OF FLAT TRACK WE HAD AGAINST BANGLADESH. Because they were afraid of Us and only way to beat us was to confuse us with the pitch. We all know if it was a better batting track they had lost the match.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Why isnt Tamim playing. Also even cricinfo is mad at that soft Soumya dismissal

 

[Havok]

They look nervous

 

[cricketbadshah]

ooh ban is playing test match right know.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I have a feeling mushfiq will get a decent score today, he usually plays well against Aussies in ODI's though

 

[Prince_]

Bangladesh is back to their old version

Only in ur Dream. We don't take t20 seriously. We play this format just for fun.

 

[Dios]

What if Mithun plays a blinder and proves everyone wrong?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sabbir needs to stay till the 15th over no matter how ugly he looks

 

[Lurker_Ind]

BCCI should have arranged all Bangla matches in Kolkatta.

 

[Havok]

Only in ur Dream. We don't take t20 seriously. We play this format just for fun.

I don't think they take anything seriously

 

[squarecut]

Since Bangladesh is higher ranked in ODI than in T20 so they are playing ODI cricket here.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

go Sabbir

 

[Dios]

SHOT from Shabbir.

 

[nish_mate]

I was desperately hoping that Smith 'll take the bait & bat first -

Every team is cunning these days - actually every team has at least one part covered - Coach or Captain ......

Trivia for PP : Which is the only team with Dumb & Dumbers .........

BD fans and fans

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good shot Sabbir

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

more Sabbir. Maar Sabbir maar

 

[Deewana]

Ha, ha what a shot.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Thats it sabbir ma boy. Just stay at the wicket. BDs best bat easily along with Tamim.

 

[MMHS]

BD fans and fans

Good answer, but you double counted it. Or may be you took BD fans & all other fans - then OK.

 

[squarecut]

Today will see the first major nation getting eliminated in this world cup.

You are right. Bangladesh is a major nation, as some posters have already pointed out.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Oh no Athar, please someone make him shut up he just started

 

[Havok]

Finally some fight

 

[Dios]

How was that not a wide?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Mithun to play the knock of his life today.

 

[MMHS]

Are they playing on the same surface of yesterday?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Running between the wickets have been quite poor.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This is a 180 pitch, our hacks need to score at least 160

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:AAG Sabbir what was pathetic

 

[Deewana]

Aus will chase the target in 10-11 ovrs and give their NRR a huge boast meaning our tomorrow's match vs kiwiland is a must win

[Inswinging Yorker]

Bangladesh not cashing in on the bad deliveries

 

[Prince_]

Offffff..... Unlucky Shabbir

 

[Havok]

I can see them making around 100

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

what a waste bangla will be the whipping boys/ run rate booster in this group

 

[Havok]

 

[Prince_]

Need to score 150 somehow. Australia is terrible against spin. We shouldn't aim for too high.

 

[squarecut]

Though I am a neutral but I need to support Bangladesh in this match otherwise they are offering almost a walkover to Australia as of now.

 

[Prince_]

Today is shakib's day. He's due for a big one.

 

[Dios]

Shakib and Watson have had a few duels in the past. Four to get off the mark.

 

[Abdullah]

We are so screwed, tamim is sick.

We have only two inform batsman - Riad and Shabbir. Shakib, Soumya and Mushfiq need to find form today especially the next two.

Also losing the toss will hurt us because we are going spin heavy

Let Tamim rest up- he needs to win the game for Pakistan on Wednesday inshaAllah

 

[MMHS]

Need to score 150 somehow. Australia is terrible against spin. We shouldn't aim for too high.

Need to score 100 first, but yes; 150 'll test Aussies on this track - it's not that free scoring Chinmuswami track.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Not a worst start by BD.

 

[nish_mate]

BD should play out their inninngs and then walk out in protest against Taskin ban!

Proper mohalla style cricket

 

[Dios]

Mithun better make this count. At the moment just rotating the strike over to the other batsman. Not even looking for gaps.

 

[Adil_94]

How come Sabbir is spelt without a H by some Bangladeshis.

Interested to see how this Saqlain Sajib is

[Hamza_]

Where is Tamim?

 

[Zahid87]

Pitch seems good. Bangladesh need to get a move on.

 

[cricketbadshah]

Shakib have to take risk and mithun try to anchor the innings and save his power for latter overs..

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Mithun dance like this boi

 

[Zahid87]

is it Sabbir or Shabbir

In Bengali, anything which is "S" is pronounced as "SH" anyway. They cant help themselves.

They make all their "A" sounds into "O" too.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Told you guys earlier that Mithun will play the knock of his life today

 

[Havok]

 

[Dios]

It's evident that these Bangladeshi players are intimidated by Australia. They have grown up watching Australia as the dominant team of world cricket and the fact that they have not played Australia much means that that aura and respect for Australia remains even though they are not nearly as dominant as they used to be. You'll see a different body language from the Bangladeshi players when they are playing New Zealand (even though NZ is better than Aus right now) because they have had the better of New Zealand in recent times. Right now they need to treat Australia as just another team.

Yup, they couldn't even score 140 against kiwis.

 

[Syed1]

Lol Marsh is such a lulloo bowler. He is Anwar Ali level

 

[cricketbadshah]

what a six

 

[Havok]

They're doing pretty good now

 

[Lurker_Ind]

The name Mithun itself would discourage the bowler.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

The name Mithun itself would discourage the bowler.

hahaha that's a good one

 

[MMHS]

Folks, Aussies are not going to turn many screws if this is their bowling (unless they are comfortable to chase 225 against PAK & 250 against IND).

 

[Dios]

That was a clear four.

 

[Prince_]

Ridiculous umpiring. That was 4.

 

[cricketbadshah]

How much you guys expecting from bangladesh to score to make the match competitive?

 

[Rahul2020]

I am upgrading my prediction to 120 now

 

[MMHS]

What we are missing is self confidence & suffering from the overwhelm of playing Aussies in a WC - but this is poor Aussie attack. Both those wickets could have turned into a boundary even by Souyma or Sabbir.

Are Aussies resting Josh or he is injured?

 

[Dios]

That was a four. But amazing fielding nonetheless. Asian teams have two or three top-class fielders at most (Nasir, Soumya, Shabbir for Bangladesh) whereas Australia, New Zealand and South Africa have five or six. That's the main difference between these teams.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good shot Shakib

 

[Havok]

They can make 140 if they keep up like this

 

[#GreenRoars]

Shakib on fire

 

[Prince_]

Ha, ha.... have u enjoyed that shot by shakib

 

[Rahul2020]

Wow... BD taking Aussies to cleaners )

 

[cricketbadshah]

shakib you beauty

 

[Syed1]

Finally someone put this meeetha Maxwell in his place

 

[Rahul2020]

GAME on guys

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Zampa is the next warne, need to play him carefully.

 

[squarecut]

This pair should bat till at least 15 overs.

 

[Havok]
