ICC World T20 Bangladesh 2014

AUS were my favourites coming in, but in a way their historical weakness versus spin has been exposed.

India in SA, Australia, New Zealand..
Australia in subcontinent...
Every team is lamb outside it's own kind of pitches.

But still at least these Australian players play on spin tracks in the IPL and gather experience !

----------

If we'll always bowl first then how are we supposed to boost our NRR?

That right..
It was because of our low net run rate we failed to enter in the semifinals despite losing only one match in super 10...

Yes for sure, but even with that deficiency AUS batting still was able to score 175 twice against the two teams with the two biggest mystery spinners (Ajmal/Narine). You make those kind of runs in the sub-continent as a non asian team in T20, you really shouldn't be loosing.

Except Pakistan; Pakistan never plays on it own kind of pitches these days.

Indian fielding at it's very best.

Shikhar Dhawan's 'The DUDE' moment.

 

[Aalay]

We took a catch? We took a fishing catch!

 

[abhi_jacko]

Make that two in a row ! That was suicide by Samsur

and Shakib knocked over now. That's a biggie

--

MSD can be such a fraidy cat at times. When Windies has BD for 16/3 Sammy used his best bowlers to kill them further. MSD has taken out all his wicket taking bowlers, and given two overs to Raina and Jadeja allowing BD batsmen to play some shots

 

[Aalay]

Shami is bowling way too short.

----------

Hah wow

 

[SaiSrini]

Typical of us to leak runs in the death overs. Damn! What could have been another 125-130 odd total could now be 145+.

----------

With WI winning against Australia, we dont need to worry about NRR. If we win today, we are through. We need only 1 win out of the 2 games we have.

----------

Good over from Bhuvi. To keep them down to just 7 runs in the penultimate over in a T20 is brilliant! I think it would be Shami for the final one. Hope he doesn't continue to leak. I would still take a less than 140 target.

 

[Aalay]

Excellent over by Bhuvi, we should definitely try him more at the death overs. He can bowl the yorkers but the problem is he does not have enough pace.

Shami is a good bowler but goes for too many runs

 

[SaiSrini]

Oh, its Mishra! Big gamble by MS! A spinner bowling the last over to a subcontinent batsmen who are well set.... Risky!

And he gets a wicket first ball! MSD, you beauty!

----------

Mishy boy Mishy! He is on fire here.... Wow!

 

[vaibhavtewatia]

Ahh! And yet again the same slow turning delivery. The reception ball. 3rd time in 3 games. Looks very very good to the eye. Completely deceiving the batsman.

Haha! Bangladesh have statistically done better against us than what WI and Pakistan did.

 

[SaiSrini]

That six spoiled it a little bit. But still, brilliant stuff from Mishra. This over could have been worse if Shami had bowled. 139 target it is!

 

[grkrama]

ya nice finish by mishra

 

[abhi_jacko]

Oh come on. Shami has bowled well at death many times. He was just a bit too much on the shorter side. But usually he is pretty damn accurate

I hope for once we can get off to a flying start. Come on Rohit and Dhawan
