*Official* Asia Cup 2018 in UAE

[harsh.ag]

Mathews leaves himself open to an inswinger almost every pther ball. Too bad the Bangla pacers can't nail that weakness.

Deano seems to make drama out of everything

Strap in bois it's time for the only enjoyable part of SL's batting - Thisara

 

[Daemon]

well ok. goodnight then.

 

[slippy888]

How bad can one team be

 

[YorksLanka]

Congrats to Bangladesh. We have been hopeless and completely outplayed.i refuse to waste more of my time watching us play this ****
Edit:am fuming, if this is how these guys play, we may as well play an u19 team as they can't really do much worse and at least will gain experience.these guys need to realise that no one is above being dropped..

I hope they do the Naagin Dance again, just to annoy Randycricfreak.

SL missed Chandimal and Gunathilaka badly

I’m waiting for the inevitable excuses and reasons why it doesn’t count and SL were screwed over in some form.

Nah this is way off the mark. He usually just goes missing after a Sri Lanka loss and resurfaces when India find themselves in trouble.

Tharanga is basically Mashrafe's bunny

Joins an exclusive group led by Sehwag

 

[Black_Warrior]

That should go do down as one of the best ODI knocks of this decade and possibly best in BD's history, ahead of Nasir's knock as that came in a loss

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The greatest 10th wicket partnership in ODIs

 

[Black_Warrior]

Still Tamim being out of the Asia Cup would hurt Bangladesh badly for the rest of the tournament. Mominul should be the reasonable pick to open the batting but it's Mominul and BD don't like him

 

[harsh.ag]

Shabbir must be kicking himself

 

[Black_Warrior]

Instead of a fan in the ground? That's a pleasant surprise

I think they might actually do it given the role Tamim has played in the ODI side the past couple of years. Mominul did he chances no harm in the A-team series against Ireland A either:

Shanto is actually in the squad though so even if Mominul comes into the squad for Tamim, he might not come into the eleven.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Wow Mominul is not even in the squad

Given Tamim was never 100% fit even before the tournament, for Mominul to not even be in the squad as back up opener tells you exactly where he ranks in the pecking order.

Haha yeah I thought you knew. They can replace Tamim if he pulls out completely though.
