India's tour of Bangladesh - June 2015

[PokerAce]

Lol, I would still expect India to win, even if there is two and ahalf days cricket played. I expect India to come firing whenever they resume, add another 150 and declare. Then bowl out B'desh twice.

A little optmiistic, but come on, its B'desh man. Sadly, no play expected either tmorrow or day after. May as well bat on in that case.

Harsha Bhogle has tweeted its a bright and sunny day, so at least play is likely to start on schedule. Later on some storms predicted though.

India should look to declare at 450. Rain around the corner again. India need B'desh in ASAP. The ball is not turning and India have the bowlers.

I think I've worked out what Bangladesh were thinking agreeing to a one test series during the rainy season.

There's a 80+% chance of this being a draw if Bangladesh don't collapse in an England-like fashion; so the match and the series will be drawn; boosting them up in the rankings and dropping India down further. Its quite clever

And the money.

Whatever it maybe. Its really disgusting to see such results which effects directly on the new test captain after 2 losses in Australia and a draw today. BCCI have to correct things to signup any feature tour matches outside sub-continent in the month of June-July-August...

Just ban 1 and 2 test series ... if rain still washes out a 3 test series, well hard luck I guess.

India tour of Bangladesh-Waste of time

The problem with Rahane at number 4 is that he really struggles to rotate the strike. That is very surprising for a player of his class. So unless Rahane opens, I don't find a way to fit him in the ODI line up. I have noticed this since he has played at number 4 position. He has played a couple of good knocks in World Cup but apart from that, he has really struggled.

2 minutes silence for those who were saying Ind v Ban series is a waste of time.

Lol, wth happened there? Couldn't watch it but wow well done to the Bangla Tigers!

 

[PokerAce]

Wow that left arm seamer, we will be hearing lots more from him soon.

Didn't said that from the perspective of a spectator, but of Indian players. They are playing continuously(which also includes travelling) from last year and BCCI should have given them at least a month rest. If BCCI continue to think that their players are machines, these defeats will bound to happen.

he is more of an opener or number 3 than 4 in odis, he needs time in middle to get confident, only thing i can consider is opening with rohit and rahanae and dhawan at 4 or 5 worth a gamble, as dhawan is much better against spin.
