19 Feb - India vs Bangladesh

[icyman]

The first hundred of the World Cup-Sehwag, we love you !!!
His first v Bangladesh

Still 20 more overs to go. What say, a double on the cards ? If he does cut loose, which he may after over 37/38, anything is possible.

We should aim for 400+ now. Yusuf, Yuvraj and Dhoni to follow, it is really gettable. Also have a batting PP left.

It already looks like the Bangladeshis have lost their fizz and so has the crowd.

 

[Varun]

Brilliant stuff from Sehwag, he lives up to his reputation.

 

[Kabooka]

yup finally the wishes of BD fans have been answered as Viru gets his 100. dont worry sachin will get a bigger one next time....

anyways
Rule of thumb is to double the score at 30 overs if wickets are in hand so maybe...maybe we are looking at 380 here.

heck even 300 will be ungettable for BD and it seems we are track for a fine revenge here.

 

[icyman]

Even the BD fielders have lost their enthusiasm and energy. The ball that Sehwag lobbed into the air should really have been taken.

And more runs- 14 from the over.

Is the crowd crying by any chance ?

The best possible recent revenge taken.. Sehwag does what he says and I am loving it

He has shown his displeasure ever since we were knocked out in 2007. His disdain for their side was quite evident when he captained India against them in the Test where he famously commented 'They are ordinary'.

He is set for a massive score. Sehwag batting out 50 overs, I simply shudder to think how he s gonna approach the last 10. Never seen him bat there.

The most pro- Tendulkar commentary that I have heard in a long long time. Manjrekar and Gavaskar are talking of Tendulkar as if he ought to still have been in there and its all Sehwag's fault.
Sachin too was at fault for not calling, why don't these two ex-Mumbai players understand that ?

Mumbai players just seem to enjoy that extra bit of hype and promotion coming their way from former Indian players. Look at the Rohit Sharma example, not that he ain't scoring heavily in domestic circuit but who isn't?? So many international opportunities wasted on him already and look at this fine asset Kohli has become in half the no. of games.

Hopefully guys like Mukund, Pandey and Badri get their chances in ODIs soon !!

 

[SciD]

Take power play now. Its just wasted in last 10 overs as batsman are already looking for quick runs then.

 

[icyman]

I am not sure if they will take the PP with a new ball due in an over's time.
Wait till 39, I am sure they'll take it once the batsmen are re-set at the crease.

 

[Meet]

And they takes it.Enjoy the aggressive batting from Sehwag.
Though he may also give up his wicket.

 

[Kabooka]

Seems like Rubel is inviting an anal probe by getting into verbal altercations with the Indians.

Batting PP is on​

 

[SciD]

It definitely makes sense to have it now and Im happy with decision.

 

[icyman]

The crowd thought they had Virat Kohli caught out.

Verbal altercations-very bad, Indians answering in the best possible manner here.

 

[Kabooka]

BTW, if you are from Delhi & if you are even slightly familiar with Jats (Sehwag is one) & the way their villages are populated (full of Bangladeshi Labor) you will totally understand why Sehwag had a problem with the 2007 WC loss to BD.
