15th June - 2nd Semifinal - India vs Bangladesh

[harsh.ag]

India are gonna win by 117 runs if they bat first and by 6 wickets if they bat second.

6 wickets it is then.

Which post are you referring to?

I honestly thought OS had responded to cm's post there and gave it a like. There was some other **** post in between?

They've gone through a lot of fast bowling coaches - it's interesting how that may have helped accelerate progress getting access to a lot of different ideas and methods, rather than having the one bowling coach for a long period of time because they were successful at the start.

Did you personally enjoy going through different coaches?

Urgh don't feel comfortable about defending any score against India

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Good we are doomed now. Much better to get crushed early than late

We need Hardik to exploit the early moisture under the covers

 

[honestbharani]

Welll Hardik obviously adds penetration to the attack.

This one felt forced.

We have to play out and blunt bhuvi up first in these conditions

2 inexperienced batsman batting at 2 and 3 is a disaster for recipe.

 

[cnerd123]

lets be real - India's batting is in crazy form, and they have a side built to chase 300-320, maybe even 340 if Yuvi and MSD fire.

BD don't have the firepower to score that. They could score 300 like they did against England, but India's bowling is much better.

The bowling isn't threatening. The pitch is a bit older, maybe a bit slower and two paced, but if they're defending 250-300 it will be a cakewalk for India.

Really hoping for a strong, strong showing with the bat here, and for Mortaza and Fizzy to nick out the top order early. Both very unlikely.

And oh look it's raining. England getting kicked out is karma for this ****ing **** weather

I was told this wasn't supposed to happen in England in June.

BD dressing room looking like we are 20/5

 

[cnerd123]

fresh pitch. flat pitch. BD aren't going to score enough runs

 

[cnerd123]

are we playing the full extended uncut producers edition of BD's National Anthem or something?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Soumya or Shabbir needs to fire from all cylinders if have any cylinder

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Lets go

 

[cnerd123]

sigh

Walking wicket goes early and another walking wicket comes in

I think Birmingham is the only place in the entire country that's had any rain this morning.
