Cricket: Why are you chirping now mate, you're not getting wickets?

The full text of Angelo Mathews' letter to SLC

Feel bad for Matthews. He's being used as a scapegoat.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

One of the grittiest performances I have seen from this team.

WC quarters, CT semis, 3 Asia Cup finals. Need to f***ing win something already. Not holding my breath though, this India team is pretty OP even without Kohli.

Bangladesh have beaten Pakistan 5 times in ODI's. 4 of those have come in the last 4 matches against them

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Shit bros continue to shit the bed against India. Molla and Mushfiq again the culprits in a tight loss to India. Congrats India on the win, deserved winners.

Match was awfully close, got a bit nervous at the end, but can't complain when we win. Bangladesh has really come a long way in the past couple years, full of quality bowlers especially in these conditions.

 

[senators101]

It was inevitable, but Kohli smashed the record, being the quickest to 10,000 runs in 205 innings. Next fastest is Tendulkar in 259 innings.

 

[darko]

Smith and Warner can't come back quick enough.

 

[senators101]

Yeah Pakistan is really taking it to Australia right now.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Mushfiq becomes the first wicket keeper to score 2 double tons in test cricket.

With his unbeaten 219, he became the first wicketkeeper, and the first Bangladeshi, to score two double-centuries in Test cricket. It was also the first double-ton of the year and by the time the declaration came, he had made more runs in a single innings than any other Bangladesh batsman.

Tradition dazzles as Mushfiqur soaks in his moment in the sun

40 - Wickets for Bangladesh's spinners in this series, the first time spinners have taken all the wickets in a two-Test series. The previous highest was 38, by Bangladesh themselves against England in 2016.

Stats - 12 for Mehidy, 40 for Bangladesh's spinners

First ever innings victory by Bangladesh in tests. Won by innings and 184 runs.

 

[senators101]

Pujara is having one hell of series. Third century plus a 70+, in Australia, against a fully loaded bowling unit.

 

[Morozov]

New Zealand has the batting to be a threat at the World Cup but not with these toothless bowling efforts.

Perera just secured himself a juicy IPL contract with that knock.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

One of the best displays of clutch hitting from T Perrera. Too bad SL just fell short.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Ross Taylor is in some insane form since his eye surgery.

 

[Morozov]

He's definitely delivered on all of the potential now.

Between him, Kane and Guppy NZ have three genuine world level players in their ODI top 4. Munro can be a good accompaniment to them as well on his day. Easier for him to go out and do his McCullum impressions when Kane and Taylor are next in.

Unfortunately, they don't have the bowling to match. Southee can't be in the ODI team any more. 100% still should be in the test team, but not the one day side.

The ODI world cup is in England in June this year, if the weather is typically English the ball should hoop around in the earlier parts of the tournament

If that happens Southee and Boult become exponentially more dangerous, that really suits the NZ bowlers style, once things flatten out it's going to get a little more sporty for us however

 

[Morozov]

The running between wickets from Dhoni and Kohli in the in the second ODI was some of the very best I have seen. That was a great game.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

SA 266-2 with only 76 in last 10

Deserved to lose that one. Pretty selfish knock from Amla.

 

[darko]

Turns out Sri Lanka is more woeful than we are.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

The bangla boys are shinning like a polished turd

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Sigh

Afghanistan will be better than us in all formats within 5 years.

 

[Morozov]

They've made the NZ test openers look awesome.

Thanks Bangladesh for letting Raval get his first test ton.

To be fair to Bangladesh the pitch looks like a state highway
I think anybody could bat on this thing

Not Bangladesh evidently.

Not Bangladesh evidently.

It isn't the pitches fault, getting bounced out on this thing isn't a great look for the Bangladesh boys
