[Nil Dhumrojal]

As long as there is samiya Sarkar and sir kayes and liton are in the team we can't win ever from now on. Bravo stupid BCB.

 

[saeed5646]

looking forward foraa hundred

 

[MenInG]

The only format on this tour, Bangladesh can really challenge SA

 

[Abdullah]

BD will lose with ease

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Ban will absolutely thrash very SA

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Hoping for a good game.

 

[Ab Fan]

ABDV in action back after a long time!

 

[Ozymandiasza]

AB sounds invigorated, eager to play cricket again. Good to see.

 

[MenInG]

Teams updated in post 1

 

[anonymous_guy]

Why does South Africa play Kagiso Granada in every match (test, ODIs, T20I).

Playing all formats increases the risk of injuries, Dale Steyn is a perfect example.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

How much can we make WahidV th this snail pace batting?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Good consecutive fours by liton!!!

 

[Mobashir]

Liton Das looks so good when he plays.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Good catch!

 

[Mainul]

What are 4 pacers doing here? Rubel and Taskin are trash bowlers now. SA batsmen will thrash these 2 all around.

 

[Mainul]

Liton Das looks so good when he plays.

He is very good as long as he is on the crease but problem is he don't get past 30.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

Steyn hasn't played that many limited overs games for someone who has been around for over a decade. But i do agree Rabada plays way too much. I think Faf has no option since Steyn, Morkel, Philander and Morris are injured.

 

[Executioner]

Anything less than 300 and we will lose

 

[Mobashir]

South Africa can't afford Pretorious and Phelukwayo. in the same bowling line up.
Ideally my ODI South African XI for the world cup will be:

Quiton de Qock
Hashim Amla
Faf du Plesis
AB de Villiers
Jean Paul Duminy
David Miller
Vernon Philander
Kagiso Rabada
Dale Steyn
Morne Morkel
Imran Tahir

Pretorius or Morris can come in for one of the four quicks.
Aiden Markram can come in for Jean Paul Duminy with a change batting order. It's a brilliant team.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Looks like bd targeting 250+ where 320 is below par

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Congratulation to SAH for his 5000 runs in ODI.

 

[Executioner]

Shakib's becomes the fastest to 5000 runs and 200 wickets. From 178 matches, 2nd fastest was Kallis with 221 matches

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Fastest all-rounder to make 200 wkt and 5000 runs.

 

[Mainul]

Anything less than 300 and we will lose

The problem is we dont have a bowling line up which can defend even 300 here. We are carrying two trash bowlers in our line up .Rubel and Taskin.Saifuddin is a newbie.Mortoza at least don't go for many runs.

 

[Mainul]

Congratulations Shakib. Truly the best all rounder in the world.

 

[squarecut]

Liton Das looks so good when he plays.

Someone called him a superstar in another thread. Let him prove himself as a decent batsman first. He is not even a star at present.

 

[Mainul]

Someone called him a superstar in another thread. Let him prove himself as a decent batsman first. He is not even a star at present.

He isn't even a regular member in his team

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Snail paced 100 up for bd in 21.1 overs.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Someone called him a superstar in another thread. Let him prove himself as a decent batsman first. He is not even a star at present.

He will never be super star. He proved himself as domestic player and a failure in internationals.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

What are 4 pacers doing here? Rubel and Taskin are trash bowlers now. SA batsmen will thrash these 2 all around.

Ask only hathuru and co. None else can ans

 

[Executioner]

The problem is we dont have a bowling line up which can defend even 300 here. We are carrying two trash bowlers in our line up .Rubel and Taskin.Saifuddin is a newbie.Mortoza at least don't go for many runs.

300 is a psychological Barrier

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Mushfiq and shakib are being blanked by tahir's wrongun

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

JP comes for a breakthrough

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Mushfiq is falling into that trap

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

50 partnership comes up

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Shakib gone.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Stupid shot knowing what bowling tahir was going to bowl

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Need another 148 runs by 96 balls with 7 wickets.

 

[ammar_merry]

why are they bowling so many half trackers

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Need at least another 121 runs from 69 ball with 6 wkts.

 

[Executioner]

Need Bangladesh to score 100 from the next 66 deliveries.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Snail paced 200 comes up for bd

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Need Bangladesh to score 100 from the next 66 deliveries.

Could mustafiz be more effective in this pitch? All of Sa pacers tried just slower bouncers to keep bd batsmen down.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Can Bangladesh make 118 from 60 balls?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Don't think bd will make more than 260. Why saving so many wkts where there is no runs.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Signing off from the match (boring batting)

 

[Shafi]

That's why Bangladesh team is a very good ODI team. They have so many stroke players. And here we have Shehzad with half a dozen ball duck, tuk tuk Azhar and Babar play test in ODI.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Nil

Are you sure? 290 possibility here

 

[Shafi]

Signing off from the match (boring batting)

237 in 45 overs against South Africa in Africa boring ?????

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

just let him get his 100, then the fireworks begin..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

first bangladeshi to get 100 against SA, well done...

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Congratulations Mushfiq. Century for him.

 

[MMHS]

Top quality innings, his best.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Pure boring power play. No runs.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Why not saifudding instead of nasir at this point ? Needed power at this point.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

237 in 45 overs against South Africa in Africa boring ?????

yup, when there was a chance to make 300.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

285 possibility here..

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

At least 42 runs short than par runs of fight. very disappointed with the power play. Could have been better than this.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

BD bowlers need to bowl well directed slower bouncer to keep Sa batsmen calm and put some fight.

 

[squarecut]

first bangladeshi to get 100 against SA, well done...

First Bangladeshi to score a century against South Africa in any format ! So what were Bangladeshi batsmen doing against South Africa all these years. ??

 

[another drop catch]

Now pitch is behaving as batting deck

 

[another drop catch]

50 partnership up

 

[Mainul]

Now pitch is behaving as batting deck

Pitch was always a batting deck and it's a sporting wicket favoring bowlers also who bowls good.But Bangladesh has some trash pacers who are good for nothing.Even 350 is easily chasable against this attack.

 

[Mainul]

First Bangladeshi to score a century against South Africa in any format ! So what were Bangladeshi batsmen doing against South Africa all these years. ??

Bangladesh didn't play that much against South Africa in fact very few matches across all formats.

 

[shaz619]

Need Bangladesh to score 100 from the next 66 deliveries.

He ran away after they didn't meet his defined target

 

[shaz619]

Am watching this because am so bored and Amla is great to watch in full flow

 

[shaz619]

Come on BD make a fist of this!

 

[shaz619]

OOOOOoooh I like this saifudeen fella he's giving de KOCK a stare [MENTION=141114]Hasan123[/MENTION] there's in this kid

 

[Ab Fan]

Looks like Saffers will take this by O- loss.

 

[MMHS]

AUS hold the overall record of 22 (?) consecutive wins. I think SAF has won last 3 or 14 at home - what's the record for that?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

OOOOOoooh I like this saifudeen fella he's giving de KOCK a stare [MENTION=141114]Hasan123[/MENTION] there's in this kid

maar khakey AAG bujh jayega

 

[shaz619]

[MENTION=2276]nik[/MENTION] Dhumrojal I've always had a soft spot for BD, Ashraful is my all time favourite BD player

 

[shaz619]

maar khakey AAG bujh jayega

No English ?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

[MENTION=2276]nik[/MENTION] Dhumrojal I've always had a soft spot for BD, Ashraful is my all time favourite BD player

Dont waste time.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

No English ?

Fire will be gone after having punch from bat

 

[squarecut]

Bangladesh need to have some mystery wrist spinners. Their medium pace trundlers and one dimensional left arm othodo spinners cannot trouble good batsmen these days.

 

[shaz619]

I think even with 300+ BD would have struggled, they need to unearth some decent pace bowlers to compete outside asian wickets

 

[Hasan123]

OOOOOoooh I like this saifudeen fella he's giving de KOCK a stare [MENTION=141114]Hasan123[/MENTION] there's in this kid

LOL let him perform a period of time 1st

 

[Bilal7]

Amla is just out there for a nice stroll in the park while sipping his tea and collecting another fifty. If only we had one player like him in our team who could rotate the strike as well as he does.
