[Ab Fan]

BD to win this one.

Moral victory by reducing margin of defeat?

 

[Sherlock]

Wow this thread is quiet

 

[another drop catch]

anything below 350 should be chased by bangalis

 

[Ab Fan]

South Africans making sure their avg gets disturbed this time by keeping it higher.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Why isnt Mustafizur playing?

 

[shariqnoor]

South Africa have given Bangladesh all the second tier grounds (Kimberly, Paarl, East London etc) throughout this tour.

Judging by the performance from the opposition can you blame them? The crowds have actually been quite good though, despite the one-sided contests.

Yeah, and?

 

[another drop catch]

280+ in just 40 overs wow

 

[Shafi]

Carrying injured player on shoulder. Poor from South Africa

 

[Sherlock]

That Faf injury is the most peculiar on-field injury I have seen.

It looked like he had injured a nerve in his back, and couldn't even get up without screaming. They really should have carried him off on a stretcher.

 

[another drop catch]

Miller surely have strong hands

A player with an injured groin piggy backs a player with an injured back off the field. Genius at work.

 

[Shafi]

Is Farhan got selected based on quota? Absolutely rubbish like Shafiq

 

[Sherlock]

A player with an injured groin piggy backs a player with an injured back off the field. Genius at work.

I know know someone that had done something to the nerve in his back. He couldn't sit up properly without fidgeting every minute. He couldn't sleep either with the pain being so excruciating. It took him a few weeks to recover.

I hope Faf is okay because that didn't look good at all.

He's been taken for an MRI. hopefully isn't too serious. Very weird seeing a batsman spasm mid run.

 

[MMHS]

How's FaF now, any news?

 

[MMHS]

Mulder kid has a bright future, if he focuses on his bowling.

 

[Madplayer]

Bangladesh need to find better bowlers if they have to keep moving the upward curve.

 

[ego-gambit]

Batting Practice done
Now some Bowling practice

 

[MMHS]

Bangladesh need to find better bowlers if they have to keep moving the upward curve.

Won't happen so early. One reason is lack of natural talent - but main reason is the poor quality of international cricket these days. Same bowlers will win many matches against most teams back home on wickets that suits them - so everything will be covered for a year.

Besides mass people don't analyze cricket, they just watch and read what they are fed - so, in couple of months time when SRL will tour BD, we are going to crash them and media will go crazy on how former world champ were ......

ICC tried to globalize the game wrong way - sacrificing quality for quantity.

 

[MMHS]

Markram guy has a serious issue with his running.

 

[pkwdpassion]

Bangladeshi bowlers bowled some reverzs swing in last 5 overs [esp. rubel] to restrict South Africa below 400.

 

[squarecut]

cricinfo was flattering Bangladeshi new ball bowlers describing them as rf (right arm fast).

I think BD need pace bowlers who can swing the new ball a bit more to create chances at the beginning. If you take a couple of wickets early on you have decent spinners to choke the opposition and not allow them to get away. Right now i dont see any BD Pacer who can do that. Mustafizur, with his deadly cutters, should be the first change bowler like Hassan ali.

True - that's why appointing Walsh was the biggest mistake. He is a classical West Indian type fast bowler, who had been hitting the deck throughout his career without much swing. Genetically it's impossible to find such shoulders in BD - only way we can find quality pacer is swing and bowling skills at max 145km with average speed between 127 to 134km (that speed is more than enough of the skills are there). We have many pacers with 134km range, without much skill or stamina, neither bowling intelligence - they throw it like bowling machine.

This is one reason I wrote many times that we need either a level 3+ qualified English bowling coach or at worst a PAK former pacer like Waquar or Kabir Khan. Pont or Streak was an ideal choice, may be even Vaas can work as well, but Walshi won't do much.

 

[squarecut]

No matter which pace bowling great from another country is chosen as the bowling coach of Bangladesh, Bangladeshi fans will find some fault in him. So the best way is to just have a Bangladeshi ex cricketer like say Khaled Mashud as BD pace bowling coach.

 

[squarecut]

Khaled Mahmood, not Khaled Mashud.

 

[shaz619]

BD need to get off to a flyer

 

[Titan24]

To be honest I didnt expect such poor performances from Bangladesh which they have given throughout the series especially after they have been given reasonable amount of cricket.

Didnt expect them to win a lot of matches but atleast expected good competitive and fighting cricket from them. The cricket in this series is hardly of international standard.

 

[squarecut]

Bangladesh needs a batting coach as well. Instead of going for some foreign coach, whom they would invariably find useless, they should pick one BD ex cricketer as the Batting coach. Athar Ali Khan should be just perfect for the job.

 

[Saffer_XIII]

It's a Saffer thing. Du plessis is the worst.

 

[another drop catch]

35th ODI fifty for shakib al hasan

 

[another drop catch]

half of the innings over 101-5
required rate close to 11
last recognised pair
tough for Bangladesh to even score above 200
shakib batting on 53 can he make his century

 

[bujhee kom]

Shak showing his immense quality here. Hope he makes a ton.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Shak showing his immense quality here. Hope he makes a ton.

gone.

BD here neither can bat nor can bowl. WTH.

 

[bujhee kom]

gone.

BD here neither can bat nor can bowl. WTH.

We are missing Fizz.

 

[UN talkz]

The performance by BD throughout this tour has been LOL.
Hope they atleast show some fight in T20IS

 

[Sherlock]

Remember stating playing a home will be a luxury for Bangladesh, and it won't be until they play outside that protective bubble that we'd know how good they actually are...

 

[bujhee kom]

We were just short of competitive this tour.

 

[Sherlock]

Nah, really?

 

[shaz619]

Astagfirulla enough is enough! somebody stop this damn tour already! BD are broken in half...I mean a quarter! bah gawd almighty [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION]

 

[bujhee kom]

Nah, really?

Next tour will be different.
It is not like Pakistan or India win in South Africa is it?

 

[MenInG]

THE Standard Bank Proteas wrapped up the Momentum ODI Series with a 200-run victory over Bangladesh in the final match at Buffalo Park in East London on Sunday. The 3-0 series victory gives them the No. 1 ICC ranking in this format for the time being.

Today’s victory was marred by the lower back injury suffered by captain Faf du Plessis, who was unbeaten on 91 at the time (67 balls, 10 fours and a six), having shared a third wicket record partnership against Bangladesh of 151 with new cap Aiden Markram.

It was all that was going to stop the South African captain recording his 9th hundred in this format. At the other end of the scale Markram looked as though he had a maiden century for the taking (66 off 60 balls, 4 fours and 2 sixes) before he ran himself out attempting a second run. By a quirk of fate he was also deprived of a Test century on debut by a run out.

Du Plessis has been ruled out of the KFC T20 International series next week with JP Duminy taking over the captaincy and Dwaine Pretorius coming in as a replacement player. AB de Villiers took up the captaincy for the balance of today’s match.

Bangladesh again paid the price for not being able to take wickets up front and not being able to get a good start themselves. The absence of Hashim Amla made little difference as Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma shared an opening stand of 119 that set up the Proteas for their best total against Bangladesh of 369/6 and they only lost 12 wickets in the entire series.

When Bangladesh batted they lost their first three wickets inside 6 overs to Kagiso Rabada and Dane Paterson and that was virtually the end of the contest. Paterson went on to finish with career best figures of 3/44 while the two new caps, Markram and Wiaan Mulder, took 3 wickets between them.

De Kock, Amla and De Villiers made almost 600 runs between them in the series with De Kock being named Momentum Man of the Series and Du Plessis Man of today’s match.

The presence of Bavuma, Markram (who took an outstanding slip catch) and Mulder certainly added youthful energy to the Proteas fielding effort.

 

[MMHS]

Pathetic show, the earlier the tour finishes the better, so that we can start the all important BPL.

 

[big_gamer007]

We were just short of competitive this tour.

Lol just short? You guys didn't even turn up was men vs boys, should not tour SA for next 5 years atleast

 

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Next tour will be different.
It is not like Pakistan or India win in South Africa is it?

Have you followed the last time Pak toured SA?
Atleast India competes with SA
BD performance is humiliating

 

[Madplayer]

Next tour will be different.

Last two times Pakistan played ODI series in SA, Pakistan lost the 1st series 3-2 in a series decider and won the 2nd series 2-1.

 

[Buffet]

We were just short of competitive this tour.

So far in this tour,

Lost by 200 runs
Lost by 104 runs
Lost by 10 wickets
Lost by an innings and 254 runs
Lost by 333 runs

If this is just falling short of being competitive then we have been watching two different tours.

 

[Buffet]

BD needs to improve their bowling even think about competing outside of their comfort zone. Winning and losing is one thing, but losing everything without even fighting makes it hard to watch this series.

 

[Sherlock]

Next tour will be different.

We know our limitations. No-one will big up their own side so much that you act as if you're the best team around.

Some fans, like you, live on cloud cuckoo. On a side-note to even think by having the "Fizz" would make any difference in this match is laughable.

 

[Red Devil]

Astagfirulla enough is enough! somebody stop this damn tour already! BD are broken in half...I mean a quarter! bah gawd almighty [MENTION=47617]Red Devil[/MENTION]

) They have families damnit, do these savages have no heart!

 

[pkwdpassion]

Rofl Can someone stop this manslaughter, Proteas kya bachon ki jaan lo ge?

Who made this itinerary? so many odis for such a one-sided contest.

Here Pakistan is getting 5 odis after 2 months.

Whenever I watch Bangladesh, always get reminded of Kenya how ICC greedy for huge population gave test status to Bangladesh and when they realized their mistake instead of removing them, did'nt allow similar treatment to Kenya due to which we lost a good cricketing nation.

 

[Ab Fan]

This was one sided contest.

 

[Aman]

Judging by all the results this series, you'd think SA were playing an affiliate team.

Don't think there's been a single competitive game this entire series.

 

[MMHS]

This was one sided contest.

One sided!!! There was not even half of SAF .....

 

[Aman]

This was one sided contest.

The entire series has been one sided...

 

[Aman]

We were just short of competitive this tour.

You might as well have sent your under 19s, no way they could have done worse.
