WC Opener : India - Bangladesh - Pre-match discussion


Recommended Posts

Sree is safer in the field than both Nehra and Munaf, both of whom are big liabilities. In current form, they don't boast of edge in bowling either, so we should go with Sree in the initial stages to see how it goes.

The news was displayed at the late night debate around 10:00 p.m on TimesNow Channel, i am not fooling around. I want Yuvraj to be in the team.
They were discussing possibilities. I didn't hear any of them saying "Yuvraj is dropped".

Munaf should play ahead of Sree. Especially Munaf who earned his way through consistently good performances. I have no idea what's wrong with Nehra. I suspect he's carrying an injury or something because he's dragging his arm down too quickly, almost in a slingy fashion which is completely destroying his accuracy. For every one good delivery he bowls another that disappears for a boundary because it either on or going down leg side.

Chawla against the bangs may not be a great idea.. we must keep him for the non-asian countries. Sreesanth brings the bit of zest into our bowling.. but it is very close between him and Munaf... Sreesanth seems good against southpaw batters in general Nehra is simply cannon fodder against Tamim..

Dew Factor at Mirpur As per Pakistani Coach Waqar, there was dew after 35 overs. Last 12 ODIs batting second has won all the games. India have never lost here in Mirpur. Dew may not be big problem tomorrow. But this ground has 2 Q/F in March, dew will play significant role then. I hope we bat second.

its not about giving importance. Its about respecting them and conditions. We chased 297 against them so they are capable of scoring big.
I have a feeling that Bangladeshis will be humiliated big time. See my prediciton in the prediction thread.:hysterical:

the dew factor is overrated. just another meaningless talking point for commentators during breaks, and the reality is that dew factor doesnt play as big a role as most ppl think. in earlier years, winning the toss was key, but these days I really don't see the significance of it. Teams like australia were able to beat india in india while fielding under lights and you cant overlook the fact that dew can actually help opening bowlers in the 2nd innings. india of all teams have NO REASON to dread the dew factor. their batting lineup is capable of hitting 300+ whether its batting 1st or chasing. if you score 300+ in the first dig, dew factor or not, you will be in with a huge chance to win at the halfway mark. knowing that india's knockouts are day nighters, and even with the dew factor in mind, i would still prefer to see india bat FIRST. its so much easier to put pressure on the opposition when you put up a big total. the pressure of chasing basically override s any advantage gained from the ball getting wet. the only reason why india should worry about the dew is if they intend on playing 2 spinners. the spinners are the guys that have a harder time of it because they have to bowl with a wet ball.

They should play 2 spinners, and bat second. That way spinners can do their job in 1st Inn without dew. But MSD won 2 :hahaha: warmup tosses So, forget the toss, Shakib is winning that.
