West Indies v Bangladesh | 1st ODI | August 20, 2014 | St George's

[Dios]

Pitch is terrible. Ball not coming on at all. But the West Indies are not showing any fight whatsoever.

 

[DrSchultz]

Bangladeshis shouldn't get excited, they have lost several times from 100% winnings situations this year.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Windies millionaires are being humiliated by Bangladesh. Come on finish the job Bangladesh.

Pollard, Gayle, Bravo are all IPL rockstars

Taskin Ahmed, Bangladesh's 19 year-old pace sensation, comes on to bowl.

Pollard needs to bat sensibly here.

Windies millionaires are being humiliated by Bangladesh. Come on finish the job Bangladesh.

We were about to humiliate you folks in our last encounter but we know who got humiliated at the end.

To be honest, we should win this but we are probably the only team that can lose from here. Even Sudan wouldn't lose from here.

 

[Energetic]

Its good to see the deshis pace bowling finally going somewhere. They have been impressive since 2012 especially this year. I think its first time 3 6ft plus pacers in 1 team for BD. The pitch is actually a bit difficult to bat on and need to give yourself time.

 

[mithun_minhas]

There is always first time

I always felt that he is the kind of player that has the capability to play like Yuvraj Singh. Can play big shots anytime.

But for some reason, Pollard throws it away once he gets a start. For WI sake, Pollard needs to fire here.

Bangla gving some good phainty to Windies here.

My laptop was damaged and i send it to a shop to fix, just got it back a couple days ago. I came in a few times via my phone but I was too lazy type on the phone.

I will go quiet after a couple of weeks, my exams are nearing

WI scoring quick runs.

They might actually pull this off

37 runs partnership

 

[Justcrazy]

Runs coming now.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Taskin bowling some good pace

Too bad, his line has been very bad.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pollard special

 

[Dios]

Pollard and Ramdin taking the game away. Another loss for BD from a winning position.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Good partnership so far.

Pitch is good to bat if the batsmen do not slog. They just need to wait a bit for the ball and then belt it.

 

[Justcrazy]

West Indies require another 134 runs with 5 wickets and 29.0 overs remaining

 

[mithun_minhas]

Pollard and Ramdin taking the game away. Another loss for BD from a winning position.

Bangladesh cannot forgive themselves if they mess this up.

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsman are batting well , need to continue.

[mithun_minhas]

Bangla back in the game.

Or is it too late?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Looks like same old story for Tigers from the East.

So near, yet so far.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Final chance for Bangladesh.

THey need to take 1 more wicket here.

Windies are almost there. Only 17 runs required with 3 wickets in hand.

 

[Energetic]

Game with twists and turns but both sides batted poorly with the exception of few. Rahim captaincy skills is clearly a major problem and I'm afraid he needs to give it up.

BD had this year:

Sri Lanka 67/8 = loss
Afghanistan 90/5 = loss
Sri Lanka 75/5 = loss
Windies 34/5 = loss

If Rahim doesn't leave as captain then losses against Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Scotland are waiting.

 

[GenericBrand]

Hmm...how to cure complacency, that or they don't know how to finish of the tail.

Something about Desi teams nowadays not getting rid of their captain despite loss after loss ie. Misbah, Mushfiq, Dhoni

 

[SL_Fan]

Wow! From 34/5 to 219/7 WI were let off big time. Again! Bangla needs to sort this stuff out asap. Something ain't right.

 

[SL_Fan]

Solid knock by Anamul Haque tho. Three 100s in 18 innings for him. Not bad. Looks like a decent prospect.
