[MIG]

Bangla showing Pakistan how its done. I hope YK has a notebook and a pencil ready for some quick notes!

 

[sohaibsyed]

[On_the_up]

2 more

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla 49/1 at moment.

 

[CricVet]

Bangla showing Pakistan how its done. I hope YK has a notebook and a pencil ready for some quick notes!

Dunno Pak, but certainly Eng

 

[On_the_up]

ashraful out straight to cover. was hit hard unlucky

 

[Amjid Javed]

Junaid has to anchor inns here and let the others bat around him.

 

[sohaibsyed]

its over now

 

[MIG]

Asharaful looking as if he is about to cry - when will they learn?

 

[sohaibsyed]

They needed one batsmen to really hit out

 

[On_the_up]

worlds best odi all rounder in next

 

[iafzal]

sakib is still there

 

[MIG]

Junaid has to anchor inns here and let the others bat around him.

I think Captaincy requires smart thinking more then making notes.But at the moment YK is just going through the motions.

 

[invincible]

worlds best odi all rounder in next

Need to get one of them out (Shakibul/Siddique) or India have a long night to go!

 

[On_the_up]

55-2 six gone

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ashraful a big wicket for india!

Bangla need a partnership here!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Sakib al Hassan probably Banglas one top class player in now and hopefully will do the trick!

 

[XFactor]

Dhoni has reasons to worry. When it doesnt swing, all Indian medium pacers except Ishant are cannon fodder. And swing is something we havent seen much so far.

 

[iafzal]

like the split scree they just showed. NICE

 

[Viv_rav]

ouch. 6.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

66666666666666 nicely done

 

[CricVet]

Where is some passion in commentary of Manjrekar when Bangla hits a 6?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

bangla must keep the run rate up

 

[CricVet]

booger

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

shucks sakib out to a poor shot

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

74/3

 

[sohaibsyed]

How are the remaining batsmen?

 

[sohaibsyed]

quite a fav player to have

 

[Viv_rav]

are the big guns except zunaid gone? I know mashrafe can hit the ball a long way.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

thats it for bangala after they promised so much

 

[sohaibsyed]

I think its safe to say its all over

 

[Indiafan]

Seeing the trend, thats happening with every country oin this tourney so far. Look at the Aussie attack

 

[ahmed16]

All over, Sidduque gone

 

[filosofee]

Oh dear, all over now for the Bangla boys ...........

 

[Amjid Javed]

Junaid pretty much the ley now for Bangla!

 

[CricVet]

So, for those pessimists, is Bangla still showing it to Pakistan how it is done?

 

[invincible]

Great over by OJHA!

India on top right now ...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Junaid gone!

77/4 I jined him damn!

 

[umerz]

This ojha boy is very handy....looks like a very diff task for bangladesh now

 

[Murad]

out to poor shots!!

its not like ojha is a good spinner!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla 78/4 after 9 overs...

 

[161]

Bangladesh are so bad against spinners.

 

[Viv_rav]

So, for those pessimists, is Bangla still showing it to Pakistan how it is done?

No, but it definately was. I think the point they were trying make was the effort/body language in the field. I think its safe to say that if Yuvi hadnt played that innings today, bangla would've taken this game.

 

[invincible]

out to poor shots!!

its not like ojha is a good spinner!!

Granted the batsmen made mistakes~! But your second statement couldn't be more wrong. Ojha is one of the more promising young spinners around the world.

 

[CricVet]

No, but it definately was. I think the point they were trying make was the effort/body language in the field. I think its safe to say that if Yuvi hadnt played that innings today, bangla would've taken this game.

Oh please, Don't do but shutt. Pakistan playing Intl games after long time w/o their best playing 11. Give them time. They will come thru.

 

[Viv_rav]

out to poor shots!!

its not like ojha is a good spinner!!

Ojha averages 26.88 in first class as a spinner in India... thats no joke.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

bangala lookin horribly out of touch

 

[Viv_rav]

Oh please, Don't do but shutt. Pakistan playing Intl games after long time w/o their best playing 11. Give them time. They will come thru.

Notice I didnt say anything about the result of Pak playing? Its the body language. You can argue to hell and back that they didnt play with their best 11... fair enough. But you CANNOT tell me that the playing 11 gave their best on the field, which bengalis are clearly doing at the moment.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

they cannot even get a run

 

[Amjid Javed]

Mountain getting steeper and steeper to climb here for Bangla!

 

[CricVet]

wHAT? When did they not. Last time I remember they beat AU in a T20 Intl :younis

 

[umerz]

Bangladesh 93/4 (12.2/20 ov)

Bangladesh require another 88 runs with 6 wickets and 46 balls remaining

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ojha gets his 3rd wicket and games pretty much up for Bangla!

 

[jusarrived]

dint i say about ojha ? one smart bowler

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ojha 3/11 from 2.4 outstanding spell of bowling!

 

[umerz]

Ojha gets another one 95 for 5 now

 

[Indieview]

That was fantastic Catch by Yuvi

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla 96/5 after 13 overs...

 

[umerz]

he has turned the game for India..india now surely in last 8

 

[12thMan]

who is commentating now? there is Bhogle and some dude

 

[MIB]

Yuvi missed a simple catch..

 

[umerz]

111 for 6 ojha with the 4th wkt
Bangladesh require another 70 runs with 4 wickets and 30 balls remaining

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A bit too much in the end for Bangladesh

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Irfan Pathan coming back to get a wicket or 2 if he could

 

[saqlain]

BD had a good start but the credit goes to Indian bowlers especially Ojha. He has been wonderful for India. I think at the end it would be a bit too much for BD to chase this target.

 

[saqlain]

Indians have played so much Twenty 20 in the IPL and they have gotten really good at this. It would be a shame if they dont win the world cup. Given that the experience they gained and most of their players are clicking at the moment.

 

[filosofee]

Well done India!

 

[Lethal]

Bangladesh were 25 runs short. In the end Yuvraj's innings proved to be vital.

Although Ojha bowled very well

 

[12thMan]

India win by 25 runs. Now Bangladesh has to beat Ireland by good margin (atleast 26 runs) just in case Ireland beats India

 

[invincible]

Clinical performance by India! Heals to certain extent the wounds caused by Bangladesh in the WC.2007.

Bangladesh are a talented side but their approach to cricket is wrong and I doubt if they will become a good test/ODI playing nation in the near future.
