ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Pffrt]

Talking about Tamim, that reference from Pffrt does not look good. Tamim is a good player as far as I know but that does not mean he become the burden of the team. In the world cup and in the last match he seems a burden for his team.

I can't deny that Tamim is a good batsman. He had his good times as well, and bad as well. Even if he had off form, he wasn't dropped from the team, even though we had good batsman who can replace him nicely. You think I'm talking shit because he has not performed well in the world cup? Man, other than some of his loyal fan (die hard, lol), to everyone else he is burden. We need a good performance in current, if someone is taken because of his previous performance, it would be fool. In case of Tamim, playing such worst innings at row, he wasn't dropped. You can't imagine what would be in case of other batsmans.

You are not talking shit, you are making sense :-)
Allowing a player to give time is good. Players can have off form and if the team does not support them in their hard time and replace them in the squade then it creates extra pressure for the players. Tamim is lucky that he has not faced it. But everything should have a boundary line. Seems like he is at the edge of this line.

He was not performing well and on top of it they made him captain. This is huge responsibility for a player. We have seen player like Sachin could not handle it. The board can observe one or two more match to allow Tamim to come back but if he can't then I think they need to find an alternative and I think in this Bangladesh team there are plenty of batsman who can replace him.

Bangladesh team needs to find some good bowlers and this seems the hardest part for their management.

Yeah alternative should be there or maybe moving down the order of batsman might also help as some players change their playing style when in pressure. Tamim is a good player but he has to show the results which the management is hoping from him to show following his selection.

They can easily ask him to come at 4th or 5th position. It's much easier now since he is captain. In one or two match he himself can experiment changing his batting order. Tamim is a very good player and I believe he plays for his country and team.

I missed that part, earlier I made a reply to Hanabue, I think there's only one player who never played other than OPENING position despite his worst form. Does this make any sense? He has played 202 ODI, and in all of this match, he played in OPENING position. I have no problem with him playing despite his off form, but at least changing position might give the team better opportunity.
I'm 99% sure he did the same in other format, can't remember though.

Do you know Tamim never played in other position than opening? That's a stupidity. If someone performs bad in a position, he must be placed in other position

This is a good idea and the Bangladesh team needs to consider this. His batting average as I mentioned earlier is pretty low for an opening batsman and he would fit well in the number 4 position in my opinion.

Also, moving Mahmudullah up the order would be a smart move since I feel its a waste of talent letting him play down the order.

[Pffrt]

You guys are evading my point. He will not play in other position than OPENING.
Check howstat, in ODI, TEST, T20- he had played one match other than OPENING position, in 5th in a test match. This is stupid. I too think changing position would bring great result.

Yeah I get it :-)
What I am saying is, try him in 4th or 5th position. Since he is the captain now, he can easily take him down to one of those position. Tamim needs a change. He is a very good batsman no doubt.

By the way, we will see how he performs today too. The 2nd ODI is going to start in an hour I think.

[Pffrt]

Another poor performance from Tamim as well as the whole team, 52/3. How this batting line up has turned into such poor, lol. Soumya as well as not have a good form for a long time. I think change is now must. I am not sure what's the current performance of Anamul Haque, this guy wasn't able to play after going off for an injury. Bangladesh team management isn't doing a proper job, to be honest.

I think they are missing Shakib here. He was making a lot of runs and other players were just hanging around himself but since he is not playing for Bangladesh, there batting line up is all exposed. Mushfiqur has a lot of responsibility now to take his team further till the 40th over without losing any more wickets.  

I thought Bangladesh could have shown a better performance especially when Malinga is not playing for Srilanka today.  

[Haunebu]

Thought of placing a bet earlier on Bangladesh, but decided not to later on and it was a good thing I didn't. Absolutely disappointing stuff. This current team seems completely different when compared to the team that played in the World Cup.

I think its time to give new players a shot at improving the lineup in my opinion. The current lineup continues to disappoint.

[Little Mouse]

bad luck of Mushfiq, couldn't get the century but enough fight from this man. Even in the last match, he was able to score 67 as well and great knock by Mehedy Hasan at the end. 238 isn't a defendable score unless bowlers can do something outstanding.

Srilankan innings is started with a splendid start with Fernando and Karunrathe looking in good touch. Bangladesh has to bowled them out if they want to win this match. 238 cannot be defended if the srilanka play full 50 overs.

Yeah, they are doing pretty good. Looks like they will get the win easily, no pressure on them.
Avishka Fernando seems to be a great invention of team Srilanka. He is playing huge since the world cup. Great asset for Srilanka. I wish he replaced Sangakkara or Mahela.

Sri Lanka has less than 60 runs remaining with 7 wickets in hand.  Still 13 overs left in the game and Srilanka can easily win this match.

That's really nice. You know how much Indian supporters came in last world cup matches of India. It was hard to locate other team fans. Hopefully being in home will change things for India in next world cup. Plus they will have an advantage of having good knowledge about their pitches so that's a good plus. Hope that they capitalize the chance well in next WC.

This would really be a very big even and if considered across world the fan supports in India is much more for cricket than any other nation. And when India is hosting I assume all the match will have house pack audiences and definitely India would be one of the favorites as well.

This is pretty obvious. India won the World Cup the last time they hosted it in their country back in 2011 thanks to MSD and his team. Expectations will be really high from them once the next World Cup commences.

So many World Cup tournaments to keep track of. T20 World Cup coming soon and the Test World Cup has begun. Cricket at its finest!

Interesting, I was totally ignorant about it. Now it make sense what erikalui said here.
I am still trying to understand the format though.

PS: Superbru does not have a tournament for this :-(

Anyway, let's continue the talk about it in here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168384.0 (since this is a dedicated Test cricket topic)

Just came to know that the next ICC ODI world cup will be hosted by India….That’s Nice.

India can dream for another World cup to win then. We have seen in so many times that the host nation intimately wins it. England to win this world cup is that latest example.

The best thing which i like for the world cup to be held in India is the atmosphere , enthusiasm of the crowd, the stadiums are jam packed and there is so much entertainment and trill.

Next world cup to be held in India does not mean that India will win the world cup. I am hoping for Pakistan to lift the next world cup in the India
