Chill down guys - game is over. Though it was a T20 tournament, must say I have hardly seen such a colorful tournament in long, long time. It had every thing, may be apart from the quality of bowling.

They say LO game is won/lost on penultimate over - in that regard game was lost in Rubel's over; Soumya is just a part-timer. Shakib made a blunder of using Soumya for the 3rd over - part-timers' surprise element doesn't last that long. Should have gone with Miraz in 19th over and use Rubel for last. Last ball six is just it had to happen - we were never going to defend 12 with Soumya.

Another EPIC CHOKE By BD.
Hard to determine which one was bigger, this or Bangalore

Nothing can beat Bangalore. There they would have crashed India out of WC in Kohli's den with 2 to win from 3 balls. This ones similar to Asia cup loss in BD
 
Bangladesh fans showing their true colours ... gracious in defeat and gracious in one of their few victories. At the end of the day if you're going to hype up your team like their God's gift to the sport then you have to also take it on the chin. You are minnows and not getting out of this phase any time soon.

Ok, tell me one good thing Saumya is good for?
 
hey just a game of meaningless T20 cricket so lets not cross boundary.......well played BD and well played DK!!!!
 
Sabbir, Mush, Mahamdulla,Tamim showed up. Just Shakib's batting went missing. Otherwise lot of positives for BD.
 
Hard luck Bangladesh. Well played!

You competed, and your performance was amazing.

Question for Bangladesh fans (and I'm not trying to rub this in) - you still think you can beat a full strength Pakistan team in a LOI series (in any conditions)? - when you can't even beat a India A/B team?
 
The Indian name that inspired terror in the Bangladeshis was that of Stuart Binny.
After today, it will be Dinesh Karthik's.

At least we're good at something. Look how many people are waiting for the Asia Cup now, lol. 500+ posts on a forum who's country wasn't even playing. If this was another India-SL game, people would have died of boredom by now.

True, nothing wrong with it if that is how Bangla want to be portrayed as.

But then don't be surprised when people dont like your team, or when they over celebrate beating your team.

Its a direct reaction to what Bangla fans, media, and players started.

Otherwise trust me, all Pakistanis would be cheering for Bangla against India, if you guys werent so obnoxious.

Not true actually.

You are here since 2012, so I don't need to tell you - it started with the 4-0 in 2015. You can check PP archive from that period - it started with false bravado after WC early exit; then ended even worse.

In every team there are few hot heads - BD as well, but there are Mahmudullah, Miraz, Mustafiz, Tamim, Mashrafee also.

Anyway, IND is deserving winners as they kept their cool; but our team played well also till last ball and both side played with proper spirit of the game - I don't see any reason why Bangladesh or it's players, fans should get unfair share of trolling.
 
I think PP is the only place where Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi ppl converse with each other without getting overly aggressive.

I have to say that I was really surprised when I saw some particular posts here. It felt like another defence forum. Really, really, sad.
 
Lucky escape for india today. I only see two players which we can try one is washington & other DK.
Rest these players dnt even deserve in indian b team. We have good players than them for sure. Manish pandey was hyped a lot in the past. He doesnt have it in him.

To Banglas well...you have all the ingredients to be good team atleast in asia. Keep working hard and i am sure you guys will do good . Its only matter of time.
 
People are forgetting that even Ind second string team can smoke many teams. Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul is enough to beat most sides.

Nope.

Take Kohli out and they're beatable for most top sides.

Thew new players they brought in don't seem to be performing either.
 
BD have ****** everyone.SL fans booing their captain even when he is talking shows it.SL fans are the most classy in Subcontinent but when they are disgusted with your team's behavior,you should introspect
 
Nothing brings Indians and Pakistanis together like Bangladesh.

A few more shenanigans from the Bangladeshi players and we might fix a lot of Indo Pak issues.

Bangladesh has only once beaten a 2nd string Indian side, that was in 2004. Our other half dozen wins have always been against their full strength side.

India didn't win it. It's our brainless players who lost it. Only one team In the world that could have lost the game from that position and that is Bangladesh.

He is what we have among top - it's system limitation. Last time back home they dropped him for Anamul & all sorts of new guys - it ended 2 absolute hammerings from SRL at home.

It was foolish to take out Miraz totally because Rohit got the better of the kid in PP with new ball. The golden rule is always back on specialist in crunch moments.
 
CI is timing out.. Looks like everyone enjoyed this game for very different reasons 😁

Washington Sundar is an excellent find and I think DK will be the short term replacement for Dhoni in T20Is. Rest were a waste.
 
In 1997 Sri Lanka won our Independence Cup beating Pakistan in the final. This was the same cup where Anwar made 194*.

It's not by behavior. They always think BD as a "minnow" and thinks BD of 2018 is same as BD of 2000. So they cannot fathom the improved BD side even though we still suck.

So are Bangladeshis. As someone who spent a part of his life in Assam and can understand Bengali (used to be able to speak as well), Bangladesh has always been my number 2 team

People from Assam, West Bengal and Bangladesh are the same people as well, with a very similar language and share one of the most significant threads, Tagore.

In a year, Washington Sundar will probably be one of the best T20 players in the world.

But usually people root for the minnows. Pakistan would surely support a minnow to win over India and vice versa for Indians

no it started before that for me.

For me it started when your team accused our player of cheating in the final over of the 2012 asia cup final.

There was no evidence of cheating and the review was rightly shut down by ICC.

HAHA was going to post this.

Anyway great win for India.

Feeling happy for DK
 
India - congratulations, and to think half your team were your from your reserves..

Dinesh Karthik - WHAT A MAN!

Soumya Sarkar - what an effort despite not being a regular bowler! You'll have your chance for redemption in the future God willing, just use this heartbreak as your comeback platform.

Sri Lanka - great tournament, well organised and a big THANK YOU!

Bangladesh - win or lose, going toe-to-toe with the opposition and not giving them an inch is the expectation... and you've made that into a habit now. Haters can bring forth all their counterargument and I'll recycle them respectfully.

Joy Bangla!

I'm not talking about individual posters, I'm talking about nations and people as whole. I don't know MMHS or Executioner personally so I don't see how that has anything to do with what I've posted.
 
Bangladesh were probably slightly better with our skillset but Indian captaincy was superior to ours

Shakib didn't let Miraz bowl because he thinks offies can't bowl to two offies. He did same last match. Shakib is pathetic captain.

India were professional overall. Congratulations - they deserved it

Feeling gutted because we don't win enough finals and more so we don't win crunch games against India. No point saying BD played well. Its all about winning.

I hope we get some proper coaches

I take every game as it comes, it never gets better of me. 2012 is 6 years back - you guys need to learn to move on. Otherwise, if every events of history is dragged, it won't remain civilized.

What BD players does or did, they got in return - there is absolutely no need to bring past today. You won't like if every thread posters starts with fixing, doping, cheating, ball tempering issues for PAK players.

Bro, have you seen how Sri Lankan Fans were really rejoicing the victory?
I was surprised to see Lankan fans came out in numbers to watch the final, but after seeing the celebrations they were there to see BD lose. If BD-SL game didn’t involved controversy, im sure an avg SL fans would’ve cheered for BD against us.
Lot of BD players do cross the line with their behaviour which is why lot of neutral fans dont really like BD. Replace BD with either Ireland/Zim/Afg and im sure majority of neutrals would’ve cheered them against us.

There must be something wrong BD team have been doing otherwise why would neutral fans dislike them?

Most neutrals dislike a team for two obvious reasons, 1) If team is always winning(Australia of 2000s) 2) on and off Field behaviour...

Now, you decide what could be the reason for neutrals to dislike BD....

It's brainless comments like this from Bangladesh fans like yourself which is why you get a lot of stick. As I said in an earlier post you lot need to learn how to be gracious in defeat especially (because there are many more to come) and be gracious when the rare occurrence of success comes to your team.

Pakistan (full strength team) on it's day can beat any full strength side as we saw from last year's CT final and today we have witnessed a full strength Bangladesh team choke against an India B side (at best) - get a reality check please!

Also should consider a career in stand up comedy with the India B being on par with Pakistan first XI as your punchline.

Dude, I’ve learnt to ignore most Bangladeshi fans. Too emotional and deluded. There’s a reason cricket won today and not just one country.
 
Few things I've learned:

1. Never thought I'd wish for India to win; guess there's a first time to everything.

2. Bangladesh are close to being a gun ODI/T20 side. They've got the players, but they haven't got the mentality. That leads to them rubbing people's noses in when they win, making people dislike them instead of automatically supporting the underdog. It's gonna be hard to recover from this for them.

3. India probably have the strongest talent pool going in world cricket. This was a C-team bowling attack and B-team batting team and they still won. However, some of their players were particularly unimpressive. Looking here at Siraj, Unadkat and Pant in that order. Atleast Shankar and Thakur won a man-of-the-match each.

4. Washington Sundar will be a star. He looks like he belongs, and more importantly knows he belongs. That's the winning mentality.

5. India seem to have solved their perennial middle order gap in ODI/T20 cricket.

Most importantly:
6. This tournament should've had Pakistan to make a truly spectacular and remembered tournament. International cricket would be so much richer with India-Pakistan contests which true cricket fans would be able to enjoy.

huh?

You were bringing reactions following 4-0 in 2015 (which was in the past).

So I clarified that Bangladesh's poor sportsmanship history started before that, time doesn't start according to Bangladesh's convenience.

Your changing goal posts now lol.

But its okay I dont want to argue anymore.

Your team is getting very good, and along with Afghanistan you will become a true force in cricket.

But your players should atleast win something before they show so much arrogance.

I think it was scheduling problem. If Pakistan were to be invited then it would have clashed with PSL and just week after PSL, there is T20Is series with Windies and days later IPL. But I agree that, w/ inclusion of Pakistan, Quadrangular series would’ve made it much more interesting.

Not really. Our MO is still not resolved.

Looks like the the 4-7 spots will be like this
Pandey/Raina
Dhoni
Karthik/Rahul
Pandya

Now, I dont think we can get rid of Dhoni before WC 19, so no point discussing that.

After today's innings Karthik Will get an elongated run, which might not be that bad.

But India desperately needs Raina back at 4, and if KArthik fails, Rahul needs to be played.

Pant is also not that bad. He needs to be persisted with. Might have struggled in the series, but he has scored at all levels in domestic cricket. You cant just let a talent like that go, without giving him a few more opportunities.
