India will roll over Bangladesh and pakistan, They are just too strong.

India will roll over Bangladesh and pakistan, They are just too strong.
I remember last time before a match with Bangladesh about a player having Dhoni's head. The media here were having a fit and trying to act like we had this huge historical rivalry with them. Then they lost the match due to some umpire error and even more hand bags followed. I loved how the Indian media was telling their counter parts that it was a game, as if they wouldn't have that sort of meltdown..
Wonder if there is any kind of similar build up this yr!!

I've seen some pics of a Tiger wrapped in Bangladesh's flag chasing a dog wrapped in India's but I'm not sure if it's Bangladeshis being thick or Indians making them look like it.
Nah, dont agree. We just destroyed their team in the warm ups with our weak XI. Their seam attack is no where near as good as ours. Bhuvi has been brilliant in all forms over the last year and Bhumra has been one id the best limited over bowlers since his debut.
Bangladesh are a good side. But we're on a completely different planet to them.

They do take it too far - even this year there have been a few things being paraded around on social media. The 15 WC match had 2 controversial decisions - both dubious but I would say 50-50 decisions (maybe 60-40). The aftermath of that loss - Senior ICC officials quit, Dhaka had protest marches and their PM came out with a statement - all this for just a game was indeed a tad too much.
Yes, I have seen that too. The point is I don't think there is a rivalry to be honest - It's all one-sided. Pakistan is to India what Scotland is to England these days (once a great rivalry) and Bangladesh is like Wales - they have reached the Asia cup finals, defeated us in a bilateral series and have beaten England, SA and India in recent memory. They are not minnows anymore.
Agree bro, i was just pointing out imo it's the best i've seen Sachin play in a WC.
okay prateek
Ganguly's three hundred came all against non test playing countries I think. Namibia and Kenya twice.
Tbf Kenya reached the SF (though thhe walkovers helped). They beat SL however and We were 3 down in the first game with barely 20 or so runs on the board iirc.
Yeah I agree.
Ya me too.. I mean they are a good side and can defeat us, but playing them just doesn't make the match interesting.. Like playing against Pak and Aus.. For me,I would say matches against England,Pak, WI and Aus elicit more interest.. NZ and SL at a lower level.. Bangladesh after that..
Big game for us, obviously it's nothing more than match practice for India, I'll consider it a victory if we get more than 2 wickets.
It's an honour for India just to face Bangladesh, to think of winning would be farfetched.
No no no Akshay! India are miles ahead of Bangladesh, our pacers aren't fit to lace Bumrah's shoes and our batsmen? Our batsmen wouldn't make a reserve side in the Ranji Trophy.
Personally it'd be an honour to get the sound of Athar Ali Khan in my ears. What a legend!
would rather listen to sehwag
india to bowl.
It's gonna all be over by 3pm
That was excellent by Bhuvi and Bumrah.
2 wickets down. Tamim & Mushi have to dig deep here and keep the score board ticking with at least 5 runs/over.
Wicket off a free hit and a no ball in the same over
Pandya
India have won I reckon, I think Bangladesh's best bet would have been restricting India to around 300 and then started chasing.
Ganguly is a train wreck of a commentator
First he called Shabbir Rahman for 'Shabbir Ali' about ten times during that commentary stint. Then proving he has no idea what the different umpire signals mean. Ranting about Tamim running short, only to realise a couple of balls later that the umpire wasn't signalling short run but one bouncer for the over. On top of that he says 'I beg your pardon' twice every over. So out of his depth.

He also says Kedar Yadav. When it's Jadhav. Completely different surnames
Just seen the sabbir dismissal, kohli is such a twat.
Not a great look Warnie, but as you say, a bet is a bet.
Why the feck do we keep persisting with filth like Pandya
Tamim has gone from looking absolute shit to playing like Brian Lara.
Bangladesh playing well so far. India need a wicket.
Very true. He starts ultra negative and defensive and wastes too many deliveries. After that, he either gets dismissed stupidly or plays some prime text book cricket
Tamim has been in fine form, not surprising he's getting runs.
Thanks mate.
oh well, he's set the innings up though. Good knock.Kohli is such a disgraceful cricketer with all of these cnutish celebrations
True.
Mushfiqur has been in fine form, not surprising he's getting runs.
Ganguly on 2nd ball -"Kedar Yadav, I beg you pardon I mean Jadhav"
