India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

So the opportunity yet again presents itself for Uthappa, Sehwag, Gambhir, Tendu, Dhoni etc (sorry I am not sure who are selected for ODI and who for Tests)…to score FIFTIES and CENTURIES(like they usually do on subcontinental pitches against lesser opponents) and cement themselves into the team for another one year.

I, for one, am not holding my breath for an Indian victory.

God Bless.

I reckon the minnows might just upset BD.

Re: India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

hahaha, i hope so.

Re: India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

Yes, BD should not get complacent.

Link to the match please :D

Re: India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

The esteemed Indian selectors have stuck to the same old game of musical chairs between the usual suspects - Sehwag, Uthappa, Gambhir...even Dinesh Mongia.

They let go of a golden opportunity of trying out youngsters in this series.

The irony is that their only wise selection - Manoj tewary - is injured and out for the whole series.

Re: India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

^ Does not matter who they play, if India wants to win this series, they have to play like a team. When I hear Indian selectors and pundits talking about the names, I become more reluctant in choosing India as favorites to win the series. India has better players, Bangladesh better team. Just do not take these Bangalis lightly, they are on a mission.

Bruce waves his right hand to the camera: Hello, everyone, great to be back in Bangladesh, beautiful stadium.

Athar Ali Khan: "Yes, I agree with you, booze."

Some1, did you try that ASN-Game link?

It's not working for me, don't know whether they are streaming!

Re: India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

^Dont think that link is valid anymore....I mean after the WC.

Any other link...bhai log ? Gareeb pe raham karo.

Re: India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

Never mind about the link.

The way this Tamim guy appears to be belting the Indian bowlers makes me wonder if India are any smarter after their WC loss to BD.

Re: India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

Finally....India manages to get a wicket.......where our future is headed??

Re: India vs BD - Mirpur : May 10th

A wicket gone begging in the second over. A huge nick on the leg-side, and Nadir Shah, being present in capacity with the stump microphone, denied India the opportunity. Replays were not necessary, it was a pretty good-sized nick.

Even though the youngster played good shots, overall, Tamim Iqbal has been a major disappointment in terms of placing the ball well. Coming down the track and flashing hard outside off at every other ball rarely did the trick. Poor batting, overall. Senseless.
