I can't believe no mention of Vaas

Scarily he's bowled better...

Not that anyone would remember after his performance in England recently.

Thats terriffic bowling, but you have to question the quality of this Bangladesh batting lineup. They have been an ICC test nation for almost 3 years now & it seems they are going backwards rather than showing some fight & improving.

The further the Bangladeshi's post poor totals the more embarrassed the ICC must start to feel.

The biggest embarrisment has to be Bangladesh's defeat against Canada. I mean when you are a full Test Playing nation you are at least expected to win against an associate memeber, or narrowly loose, but that was a convincing win by the Canadians. If their batsmen cannot stay in against a village green style right arm medium-fast bowler then how are they supposed to compete against the stronger teams? All he did was bowl straight...

Both the Canadians and Vaas bowled well. Don't take credit away from them.

I hear after the performance the ground staff asked Vass to plant a tree in honour of his bowling prowess. Seems like a great gesture !

Do you mean Vaas, the left armer who has 206 Test Wickets, and 261 ODI wickets, despite playing a lot of Cricket i spin friendly conditions?

I can think of many Village Cricketer's who'd like that record!

No I mean Austin Codrington who took 5 wickets against Bangladesh. I thought that would be obvious since I didn't mention Sri Lanka, I mentioned Canada, I said right arm not left arm...and...and...and...:yawn:

Yes but he's medium-fast wicket to wicket stuff. Bangladesh surely ought to be able to play him properly?

I dunno that's all you need in ODIs (remember I'm a big fan of Mark Ealham, and thought Ian Austin had what it takes to succeed at international level was he given more chances, and earlier).

Vaas amazing - first time someone's taken a hat-trick off the FIRST three balls of an ODI innings, third hat-trick in a world cup, third player (Wasim, Saqlain) to take two hat-tricks in ODIs.

The only stat I haven't heard mentioned was the fact that he took 4 wickets in 5 balls. I reckon this is the first time it's ever happened in ODIs, but need confirmation from somewhere.

Ah, but this being the Vaas thread it kind of confused me when you went back to old news!

no it was in a game, 8 ball overs we were playing for some stupid reason. the over went

.ww.ww.w

:wow: A 5 wicket maiden?!?!

I did a quick search of all the scorecards involving hat-tricks and it hasn't been done, so it would have to have been a WWxWW make-up. Very possible but I thought it would have been mentioned. I mean four wickets in five balls is a big deal in FC cricket let alone an ODI.

wow, i feel special.
how do you think i felt when i was dragged after that over?
admittedly the other bowlers did their job to have the opposition dismissed for 13. thats the 2nd lowest total if ever seen in a game i played in. for the record the other was 8, our opening bowler took 8/3

My school side were bowled out for 8 once on a shocking pitch. Lucky that I weighed in with 5 after coming in at about number 8!

Still, at least we only had to field for about 10 minutes!!
