***Official*** Asia Cup

[Laurrz]

far out how many left arm spinners does this team have

 

[Jono]

Haha I know, they have SLA after SLA.

Reckon vic_orthdox is going to come into the attack next.

 

[Athlai]

Have 3 SLA, their opening bowler is the number 3 batsman. Wonder how he's going to go TBH.

 

[Jono]

UAE have one of the ugliest uniforms ever btw.

Hong Kong keeper looks cool. Reminds me of Taylor from Zimbabwe. Odd white wicket keeper in a red uniform. The similarities are endless

 

[andruid]

The Pakistan cricket team is so dire, it's so frustrating because they have the talent and ability yet they still play like ****. Most annoying team in the world, even Bangers is getting on with business (182/2)

Recklesness I suppose...

 

[silentstriker]

This partnership might have saved their butts. If they can get 250, they should win comfortably.

WTG Ashraful

 

[James90]

Raqibul to ton up here as well.

 

[Arjun]

I wonder, are UAE going in with eight part-timers masquerading as bowlers? That's a rather weak attack! They seem loaded with a bits-and-pieces brigade. Totally forgot about the stronger group. Good show by Ashraful and Raqibul here.

damit pakistan came back.

One wonders...

 

[laksh_01]

UAE has very good batting line up & never say die spirit... Lets see how they fight...

 

[Sanz]

No, I m not .... I m just posting meaningless one-liners w/o having a clue to kill my time.

That's what I thought .

yeah, why would a tournament that been held since 1984 and which involves top cricket playing countries of a continent be important

So what are the Asia Cup Moments of History ? Top playing countries from continent means nothing because that mean only 3.

 

[Perm]

Very pleased with how Raqibul has been continuing to develop at ODI level. I thought he may have been pushed into the mix a little early, but he's handling it well so far.

 

[ret]

That's what I thought .

that what happens when you judge ppl with your kind of IQ

'only 3' is a dumb thing to say as most regular ODI tournaments are tri-series

and Asia Cup has 4 test playing nations, thats roughly 40% of the total .... anyone who knows abt numbers would know what that means .... and it's been taking place regularly and has some history attached to it

and I m saying that it probably ranks after WC and CT in ODIs, which i guess is self-explanatory .... don't know why someone has to Q that

Go on attacking me, first step of losing the argument.

'only 3' is a dumb thing to say as most regular ODI tournaments are tri-series

And we do not call those tri-series as TOP ODI series. Because with that logic, Tri Series in England/Australia have a much better history than Asia Cup.

and Asia Cup has 4 test playing nations, thats roughly 40% of the total .... anyone who knows abt numbers would know what that means .... and it's been taking place regularly and has some history attached to it. But we do not call them great Tournaments, do we ?

Only two Asia cups had BD as Test nation. And no, it hasn't been taking place regularly as it was supposed to. Besides, could you share some piece of Asia Cup History for the benefit of us ?

and I m saying that it probably ranks after WC and CT in ODIs, which i guess is self-explanatory .... don't know why someone has to Q that

CT is a useless tournament and Asia Cup is even more useless.

irrelevant post .... if its useless why are you following this thread

and i will again post what i said earlier, you will understand it if you know what 'probably' means

"and I m saying that it probably ranks after WC and CT in ODIs, which i guess is self-explanatory .... don't know why someone has to Q that"

PS for me it ranks after WC and CT .... if you don't agree with that then who cares

Sanz mate, you'd be better off just ignoring ret as it's plain to see he'd rather insult people than discuss cricket.

 

[StumpMic]

Sri Lanka has also struggled after their legends played their last and don't look a top team anymore- in fact, they're a one-bowler team more than ever now.

Which one bowler? Do you mean Murali or Vaas or dilhara or maybe even Thushara:

Maharoof is out of the Asia Cup. His replacement, though a problem case, is quite effective on his day.

And then there's Ajantha Mendis and Sanath Jayasuriya even.

Sanz mate, you'd be better off just ignoring ret as it's plain to see he'd rather insult people than discuss cricket.

isn't it obvious that why I rank Asia Cup highly

1. It involves 4 test playing teams
2. has been held since 1984 and has history [doesn't mean that other tourneys don't have a history or can't have a longer history] .... by that logic, i would not have rated CT, which is a comparatively new tourney, higher than Asia Cup
3, held regularly [doesn't mean that it has to be held every other year or so, by regularly it is implied that whatever the timeframe, its been held since 1984]

i have already stated my reasons and they are all self-explanatory

2. Ignores the fact that I rated CT, which is a comparatively newer tourney, higher than the Asia Cup

3. if only two Asia Cup has BD as a test nation, doesn't imply that its not evolved into a 4 test nation tourney .... on timeframe, as i said by regularly, it doesn't imply that it has to be held every x number of years [though i would prefer every 4 years] .... on history, for the zillionth time 'since 1984' if it means anything

CT is a useless tournament and Asia Cup is even more useless.

4. an irrelevant personal opinion .... and i have no time to find out why he thinks that


as i said, everything that he asked is self-explanatory .... if you think that I insult ppl than discussing cricket than so be
