Re: Afghanistan Series: Predictions

That's where you are mistaken. Shahzad is not just a slogger. His stats in all 3 formats are superior to any other Afghan batsman. If so, thats an instance of where domestic stats don't always tell the story. Having watched the Afghan batsman, I will say this. Nabi looks to me to be most well round...

Re: Afghanistan Series: Predictions

Rahmat Shah is the best Afghanistan batsman imo He is good, but you don't win many games these days scoring 40-50 runs at strike rate of 55. I agree he is the best we have after Shahzad. Shahzad is just a slogger a bit like Solomon Mire. Afghanistan's best batsmen are Nabi and Rehmat. Rashid has po...

Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

Precariously poised match (for BD). If BD survives, this will definitely go a long ways to fortifying our mental strength in such situations.

Ghosts of the Mirpur and Wellington Tests could either be excised or just have Chittagong added to the list!

Re: Afghanistan Series: Predictions

Yeah I think a series loss to ZIM could potentially be good for the Afghans to finally ditch crap players like Stanikzai and invest more on the youth. I am sure the ACB, players, and fans think beating ZIM is a foregone conclusion based on past results. But I highly doubt Stanikzai will be axed befo...

Re: Afghanistan Series: Predictions

Bangladesh should be considered themselves " lucky " enough that they don't had to rubb off in those less attractive ICC leagues which takes enough time for a team to come through main stream cricket. Teams playing in ICC Leagues, faces test playing nations for much lesser number of times, as a res...

Re: Afghanistan Series: Predictions

But still none of the team and their fans comes out claiming themselves winners before the start of a series, no matter how weakest side they play, but Bangladesh fans & media were too much over confident, and did'nt gave a single chance to Sri Lankans recently. Even you were giving too much negeti...

Re: Afghanistan Series: Predictions

Bangladesh considers themselves too much talented by " mouth" and always considers themselves equivalent to India/Pakistan instead of doing the work :) India? Nah. No one can compete with the Indians in terms of talent production, at least in batting. Not even Australia or South Africa. Pakistan bl...

Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

Will it be a first time where team scored 500+ in first innings and still lost by an innings? Probably although cricket has so many crazy records, you can never be sure. England did come pretty close last year in India... scored 400 plus and still lost by an innings. Twice. The pitch is still survi...

Re: Afghanistan Series: Predictions

Given that I wasn't even aware of this series two weeks ago :oops: I'll not risk a prediction. But why on earth are we playing T20s at this particular stage when we are not playing any T20s at any other time of the year? T20s are useful practice for ODI batting and bowling, particularly when needin...

Re: Bangladesh Watch 2015-2019

History shows SL are in a very good position to actually win this Test. Bangladesh has a knack of scoring 500 runs and still losing Test matches. In 2012 we had posted 550+ vs the West Indies in Dhaka and then failed to chase 240 in the fourth innings. We also only had to bat out 80 overs to secure ...
