[Belawal2014]

Athar Ali Khan, quite possibly the worst commie in international cricket.

 

[Aman]

Williamson 13(14) in a T20...

I can wait until he is dropped from the T20 side, he's so bad in the shorter formats.

BD have pulled things back with three quick wickets

 

[Justcrazy]

BD need to keep things tight here

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Shakib is a legend. game after game. best all arounder in LO cricket atm

 

[Aman]

KW 28 (34) wasting deliveries... get out....

 

[Belawal2014]

KW 28 (34) wasting deliveries... get out....

Overhyped to the moon.

 

[Belawal2014]

KW comfortably behind VK, SS, and JR.

 

[Aman]

Overhyped to the moon.

Tell me about it, no one freaking critizies him either.

He always starts like this and when it gets out of hand, he hits a few boundaries to get it up to ~120 which hides the fact he halted the innings with his garbage innings.

 

[Aman]

Kohli isn't close to being the ugliest slogger, just have a look at Kane try it.

Gets an ugly slog away before getting out the next ball.

 

[Belawal2014]

wth, who puts those bolts on the advertising boards...

 

[Aman]

KW comfortably behind VK, SS, and JR.

I've been saying that for a while.

QdK is a better batsmen, Babar and Rahul will surpass him in time too.

 

[Belawal2014]

I'd have him in ODIs and Tests. That's it, and he'll have to open in ODIs .

 

[Belawal2014]

Whattay slog KW.

 

[Aman]

My slogging is better than Kane's, he needs to really put on some muscle.

 

[Belawal2014]

Should get around 165-175 if they bat well from here on.

 

[Aman]

I'd have him in ODIs and Tests. That's it, and he'll have to open in ODIs .

Nah, he's a poor man's Amla in ODI's. When it comes to upping the RR, he tries a ugly slog then gets the next ball. Doesn't have the gears to succeed in the format.

 

[Belawal2014]

He should be the only anchor in the ODI side and open with Marty.

 

[Aman]

He should be the only anchor in the ODI side and open with Marty.

I would try Latham at 3 tbh, he showed that he can accelerate really well once set.

Looks like Kane is starting to hit a few boundaries to cover up the first 35 balls of his horrible innings.

 

[Aman]

42 balls of our innings wasted by Kane.

42 off 42

 

[Belawal2014]

Shot! KW needs to do this throughout the innings not build his way to this point.

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

42 balls of our innings wasted by Kane.

42 off 42

And a six. 103 meters

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Athar Ali Khan, quite possibly the worst commie in international cricket.

i used to thing waqar younis was bad.

 

[Belawal2014]

i used to thing waqar younis was bad.

Well tbh, Waqar Younis is not that bad, only his English is a bit cringey. That's it.

 

[Belawal2014]

lol. Man's slipped playing that shot.

 

[Aman]

And a six

52 off 45 (115 SR) is still garbage by any standard.

 

[Belawal2014]

Man's literally done a 360 in the air for none.

 

[Aman]

lol. Man's slipped playing that shot.

He's fluking it )

Dude is garbage when it comes to hitting big.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

Well tbh, Waqar Younis is not that bad, only his English is a bit cringey. That's it.

he's definitely far better than AAK.

 

[Aman]

Man's literally done a 360 in the air for none.

Now a sitter is dropped

Just what this horrible innings needs.

Early contender for worst innings of the year.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

just when i praised Shaqib... anderson took personal offence to my claim.

 

[Aman]

Anderson needs to face most of the deliveries.

I've seen enough of Kane trying to slog for one lifetime.

 

[Aman]

Anderson only 5 runs behind Kane now )

 

[Belawal2014]

Man, wish we had someone like Corey Anderson. Why can't he bowl atm? [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] injury?

 

[Aman]

Anderson has overtaken Kane with those 3 huge sixes.

 

[Aman]

Man, wish we had someone like Corey Anderson. Why can't he bowl atm? [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] injury?

Back problems, I think.

 

[Belawal2014]

lol dropped.

 

[Aman]

Are they deliberately keeping Kane out there )

2 sitters dropped and a missed run out.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

corey is a monster.

 

[Belawal2014]

lol what an ugly innings.

 

[Buffet]

Kane can't hit big even if his life depends on that. Looks so poor trying to slog.

 

[Belawal2014]

Man, what power!

 

[FlickedOffHips]

corey anderson is up for auction in the ipl this time. $$$$$

 

[Justcrazy]

anderson

 

[Aman]

Good to see Corey back in form, dude is a genuine powerhouse.

 

[Justcrazy]

195 is the target

 

[FlickedOffHips]

how long is the break?

 

[Aman]

Man, what power!

He uses a toothpick GM too, he has insane power.

 

[Aman]

how long is the break?

15-20 minutes, I think.

 

[Aman]

Kane can't hit big even if his life depends on that. Looks so poor trying to slog.

Most pub cricketers are better sloggers than Kane... it's sad trying to watch him score quick runs.

 

[Aman]

Some people actually that Kane innings was good )

Seriously man.. call it how it is.. most Kiwi's give Kane way too much credit.

He's nowhere as good as most Kiwi's think he is.

 

[jog_1]

Bangladesh 154 all out

 

[Justcrazy]

The match is out of BD reach now.

 

[Space Cat]

Kane played a great knock after the rough start. Not one of his prettiest innings but set the innings up well with Coreys brute knock.

Anderson is a beast.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarkar

 

[Justcrazy]

BD need to go all out here .

 

[Justcrazy]

11 off the first over.

 

[Justcrazy]

15 / 0

2 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

tanim

 

[Justcrazy]

26 after 3 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen finding boundaries , aggressive batting , but key is to keep the tempo throughout.

 

[Justcrazy]

tanim gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Sabir does not waste any time , Bang he goes from the start

 

[Justcrazy]

56 in 5.1 overs

BD have started really well here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Athar ali Khan getting all excited. Let's see what happens if BD choke here again...

 

[Justcrazy]

BD need small cameos of 25 - 30 runs from 3 - 4 players , and a 50 from someone.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Athar ali Khan trying his best to control his excitement. Some good shots being played

 

[Justcrazy]

Sarkar 35 from 20 balls , he needs to last at least another 15 - 20 balls here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Beautiful bowling from Sodhi

 

[Justcrazy]

Just six runs from sodhi over

 

[Justcrazy]

BD need to keep the momentum , Sodhi has to be taken for at least 35 off his 4 overs
