[desi_launda]

current champions to bounce back..both teams low on confidence

 

[Sakss]

Both need to win their first match

 

[10sion]

Both need to win their first match

Our first match in the Super 10s. Technically,we still dont

 

[R0H1T]

Win the toss & then go on to win the match, the day night games are getting predictable in terms of results or even one sided affairs !

 

[SL_Fan]

Gayle storm anyone?

 

[Commander]

It seems like rain will interrupt the match, it is very cloudy there right now

 

[cricket geek]

if Bangladesh has to win this watch their spinners has to give a outstanding performance .

 

[polymath]

Gayle storm anyone?

Expect a thunderstorm. I don't fancy a Gayle storm

 

[cricket geek]

Bangladeshi fast bowlers gonna murdered today.

 

[mhraja]

I am putting my money on Bangladesh today!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I am putting my money on rain and match being shared !

 

[R0H1T]

Me thinks a draw, if rains persist.

 

[Sakss]

I am putting my money on rain and match being shared !

Looks like ill have to continue watching Muqadar ka Sikander

 

[Executioner]

Very important match for us. I won't be completely happy with a win or two here and their. I know the odds are against us but we need to win this.

Beating West Indies is probable given their horror run against India where they struggled against any hint of pace or spin. Should we win the toss and chase, the odds will be in our favor considering that dew will come into play later on. Rain can also be an issue here, and the SBNCS drainage has been damanged due to poor maintanence, so even 15 minutes of light drizzle will mean that play will be called off for good.

 

[Kianig89]

NO Rain please wanna watch this

 

[10sion]

Bangladesh wins toss and we will bowl.

 

[thecricket]

BD wins toss and are bowling.

 

[10sion]

4 changes for us!

 

[Executioner]

We are chasing.

I hope we restrict them to below 160. Our spin attack consists of Shakib, Riad and Gazi. Sabbir and Mominul have a golden arm so I am optimistic.

 

[Extreme Pace]

I hope we restrict them to below 160.

Bangla can't chase 160, 145-150.

 

[R0H1T]

Bangla can't chase 160, 145-150.

They can if there's a good amount of dew out there.

 

[MarkCooper]

Spin spin spin at Gayle. He scores a run a ball against Spin in T20. His brain cannot cope with spin.


Spin To Win.

 

[10sion]

This is probably our best side. Well done by the team management. Now if only Mushy rotates the bowlers well.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Mushfiqur must be the smallest player in international cricket. He almost had to jump to shake Sammy's hand!

 

[Sakss]

The team

Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Mominul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim*†, Sabbir Rahman, Mahmudullah, Ziaur Rahman, Sohag Gazi, Mashrafe Mortaza, Al-Amin Hossain

 

[Dragon]

Gayle have a perfect opportunity to score big.

 

[Executioner]

Mushfiqur must be the smallest player in international cricket. He almost had to jump to shake Sammy's hand!

Apparently you have not seen Mominul Haque. He is about 5'1

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Apparently you have not seen Mominul Haque. He is about 5'1

On a different note you must be annoyed at being constantly named minnows by the comms. You guys mightnt be the best team but at home id feel being called minnows is highly insulting especially when you are the host nation. Hell I get annoyed when Ireland are called minnows and we arent even a test team

 

[Extreme Pace]

Apparently you have not seen Mominul Haque. He is about 5'1

Such little people should not play cricket.

 

[MRSN]

Such little people should not play cricket.

)

 

[Donal Cozzie]

5 wides first ball lol

 

[WebGuru]

Goodness me start with 5 Wides!

 

[Dragon]

great start lol

 

[10sion]

Poor start from Mash

 

[razabbas]

5 runs ) ) )

 

[doggy2020]

attack both ends with spinners

 

[MRSN]

they should restrict WI for under 150..

 

[Sakss]

Gayle survives...Inside edge

 

[Donal Cozzie]

That yellow guy must be a cult hero in Bangladesh. Hes at every game

 

[Mohsin]

The start seems like a 'Bangladesh are gonna be thrashed' kinda start

 

[WebGuru]

So far 6 Extras in first over.

 

[10sion]

Oh Mash

 

[doggy2020]

very noisy crowd

 

[Mohsin]

That yellow guy must be a cult hero in Bangladesh. Hes at every game

Yeah he is i think, i remember Athar Ali Khan the Bangladeshi commie mentioning him and talking about how he's at every game once

 

[10sion]

The players look scared.

We are really bad at taking pressure.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Common BD ... i want to see a close game , restrict WI to 130 or so ...

 

[10sion]

Better over. 14/0.

 

[Dragon]

Gayle should play his natural game, the singles just aren't his thing.

 

[Extreme Pace]

Al Amin is a good trundler.

 

[Mohsin]

OOOH well bowled Mortaza

 

[Kianig89]

why would you open with a liability like D Smith where is Charles

 

[10sion]

Ohhh... so close yet so far. 21/0 in 3 overs. need wickets!

 

[Electron]

Gayle should learn to rotate strike. He is only adding pressure on Smith.

 

[10sion]

Spin already... I would have given Al Amin another over.

 

[MRSN]

how many spinners are BD playing with?

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Spin already... I would have given Al Amin another over.

Spinner gives 8 runs in his first two balls aswell...

 

[10sion]

gazi is getting thrashed. Not in the best form ... Mushys typical captaincy errors.

 

[10sion]

how many spinners are BD playing with?

Shakib, Gazi, Sabbir, Mominul, Riyadh -- all can bowl spin.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Gayle must be getting batting lessons from Misbah...

 

[Noman]

gayle does seem old, He is just a class player in IPL, look like a nr 7 batsman here

 

[Warrior868]

why would you open with a liability like D Smith where is Charles

Out of form

[MRSN]

not a bad start for WI..

 

[MRSN]

Smith is hacking well tonight..

 

[doggy2020]

Smith is hacking well tonight..

strange

 

[10sion]

Apart from that first ball 5 wides... Mash hasn't been that bad.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Such little people should not play cricket.

Bangla players are really short.

 

[cricket geek]

gayle killing the run rate

 

[MRSN]

What's Gayle up to? just 5 off 14??not Gayle stuff..

 

[Sakss]

Gayle struggling

 

[cricket geek]

what is going through Gayle's mind

 

[Electron]

Gayle has totally lost it as a batsman. It's not an effort to settle down, but it's his inability to score now. He will get Smith out with this rubbish approach.

 

[Noman]

gayle what he is doing??????even misbah is better than this

 

[cricket geek]

playing so slow in t20 is criminal

 

[giri26]

Suspicious batting by Gayle

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Why is Gayle playing if he isnt 100%??

 

[10sion]

36/0 in PP overs.

Yes WI can strike big but we will take 36/0 against Gayle/Smith. Wish we got a few wickets though.

 

[cricket geek]

run rate dropped to 6

 

[Noman]

it just show how the bad quality ipl , gayle can hit any here.. and in here struggling for singles for life

 

[cricket geek]

Gayle need to hit some sixes
