West Indies v Bangladesh at the Magnificent Sharjah Cricket Stadium, WIN OR GO HOME-- 23rd Match, 10/29 Friday (D)

[SillyCowCorner1]

Why wasn't he in the side initially.?

The selectors thought that he was not that valuable to the team. He played some matches in the home season and wasn't too impressive.

 

[Howe_zat]

Getting quite tasty this'n

Bravo with wides on both sides of the wicket. Proper waste of a space this tournament

 

[OverratedSanity]

You'll probably find that those sports allowing injury subs usually allow regular subs as well. Cricket simply isn't conducted the same way as the football codes, baseball or basketball, all of which have substitutions as a regular feature, not just for injuries.

Should be a regular feature tbh.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What a waste of an over that was...the 5 wides killed it at the start

Yeah..match was alive til that point. Killed it with 10 runs off one ball.

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh man that was classic unnecessary Mushfiqur. 2016 vs India vibes

You've already hit a 4 first ball with the required rate at 7-8, and had easily taken 6 singles in the previous over, and the field is back

do you (a) keep taking singles
(b) scoop a length ball

 

[Howe_zat]

Leaving it and then asking the umpire for a wide is not the most proactive strat.

Windies still clinging on to this.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Finally having a nail-biter of a game in this WC

 

[Howe_zat]

Need 22 off 12. Think Bangladesh have given themselves a little bit too much to do. Bit of a lack of power.

Oh, Marma belts one as I type. Well, I've been wrong before

 

[Howe_zat]

Dwayne Bravo's bowling is still the main thing wrong with T20 cricket as a concept

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Jason Holder shows his worth once again

 

[BoyBrumby]

Holder is a very low temperature chap, isn't he?

Calm as you like.

 

[Tiberius]

Gonna be a hell of an over.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Whoever bowls this over is not a death bowling specialist.

 

[Howe_zat]

Whoever bowls this over is not a death bowling specialist.

It'd be a bit rich for Pollard to bring himself on to bowl the 20th only after having walked off midway through his innings

 

[Spikey]

Mahmudullah should not have crossed...although that scoop on ball 1 almost worked

 

[Spikey]

Hahaha Russell bowls a perfect Yorker and gives up two

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm not sure that drop means anything, they haven't been able to get a shot away so stopping the boundary was all that mattered really

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is just ugly cricket at the expense of pressure

 

[Arachnodouche]

Atrocious fielding from Windies
