WI vs Bang 3rd ODI

 
Norm 2021-01-25 04:28:09 

Crush them, WI!!!!

 
methodic 2021-01-25 05:16:13 

In reply to Norm

now they leave out DaSilva, when they were suppose to leave out Ambris or even Mohammed.
I don't think they know what they are doing.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:17:48 

In reply to methodic

Maybe they want to give someone else a chance to play. Yes, they are giving Hamilton a knock, and Harding.

West Indies: Sunil Ambris, Kjorn Ottley, Jahmar Hamilton (wk), Jason Mohammed (capt), Kyle Mayers, Nkrumah Bonner, Rovman Powell, Raymon Reifer, Keon Harding, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein

 
methodic 2021-01-25 05:19:33 

In reply to Norm

so why leave out Dasilva instead of Ambris. Ambris looks at his bat like a strange object.

 
imusic 2021-01-25 05:20:09 

In reply to methodic

DeSilva is the wicketkeeper / batsman

He failed in 2 innings

Hamilton is a wicketkeeper / batsman

So bringing in Hamilton for DeSilva is not surprising or unwarranted

What should they have done? Play DeSilva as a batsman when he he’d scores of 9 and 5 in the 2 previous matches?

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:20:40 

In reply to methodic

why leave out Dasilva instead of Ambris.

I don't know, but Ambris needs to deliver now, or it will look very bad for him.

True. Each player needs to be reminded that someone else is waiting to take their spot, if they don't justify keeping it.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:23:27 

Willow stream very stable today.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:25:05 

Anjum Chopra, the female commentator comes on screen. She seems to be a very pleasant lady, and very determined to do a good job. Good to see women making progress in this area.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:25:28 

Toss: WI win, and will bowl. "We're going try something different. DaSilva and McCarthy are out ..."

 
methodic 2021-01-25 05:34:04 

In reply to imusic

I can't see that as a good decision. You played him at 3, a spot usually reserved for your best player. So you must think highly of him. He failed, so did everyone else around him. If you are going to choose one player to drop from two or three, you are going to drop the done that you thought three days ago was the best!

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:49:15 

In reply to methodic

It's all good for DaSilva, and other promising young players. They need to be reminded that they need to keep performing and improving.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:50:09 

Joseph bowling well, as usual. Here is one young man that motivates himself to keep performing and improving.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:55:21 

Harding too bowling well. Up to 136k, he is varying his pace. Short ball on leg easily pulled away behind square for 4 by Shanto, after bowling him a very good over before that.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:58:09 

Joseph to Tamim. Drives thru covers. Mohamed misfields and it keeps o running to the boundary for 4. Joseph is definitely not impressed with his skipper's fielding there.

21-1 in 5 overs.

 
methodic 2021-01-25 05:58:10 

In reply to Norm

so far Harding two overs the last balls has been struck for four. He has to concentrate through the overs.

 
TyTy35 2021-01-25 05:59:01 

Harding has a very nice action and an easy run up, bowling in the 130s which isnt bad, offering too many boundary balls though needs to work on that consistency, but looks good so far.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 05:59:27 

In reply to methodic

He has to concentrate through the overs.

True. He looks good tho. I hope they keep giving him more exposure. Skied off Harding and Mohamed at deepish mid off could not hold on to a high chance that hit his fingers. Seems to me he reacted a bit too slowly.

26-1 in 6 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 06:04:39 

Mayers comes on. His bowling has gone downhill in recent years, while his girth has been growing. His batting has improved significantly tho.

He doesn't seem to swing it anymore,

Decent first over.

30-1 in 7 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 06:15:23 

Mayers around the wicket to Shanto. Raps him on the pad with a ball that is heading for the middle stump, and he is gone lbw!!! Very clever bowling.

38-2 in 8.4 overs.

Shakib in. Skies his first ball off a leading edge back to Mayers, who tries to jump for it but cannot get there. Wow.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 06:21:05 

Harding to Tamim. Rapped in front of middle leg. Appeal. "Not out" says the ump. WI review. Pitched outside leg. Not out, it is. Review lost, but it looked like a good call.

He is upset, and loses his control. 4, 2, 4 follow.

53-2.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 06:25:07 

Critical stage here. WI need another wicket now.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 06:30:04 

Mayers bowling with great control. H is bowling a middle to middle-leg line, with 3 fielders on the leg side between the bowler and square leg.

Alzari replaces Harding. Good change, I think. Allow Harding to cool down a bit.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 06:38:25 

Mayers continues. Still showing great control. End of another good over from him.

68-2 in 13 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 07:50:02 

147-3 in 31 overs. Two wickets to Alzari, who has 3 more overs remaining.

The whole team hasn't reached 150 yet.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 07:57:53 

Akeal straying down leg to Mushfiqur.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:00:09 

Shakib looking vulnerable to Akeal, but not Mushy.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:01:14 

Harding returns. Good move against Mushy.

Straying down leg too, but seemed to be back on target at the end of the over.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:08:05 

Akeal finishes his quota of overs. 10-0-46-0.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:14:14 

Harding losing his control - again - under pressure. Two very wide "wides" in that over, which also had two very good deliveries in it.

 
mikesiva 2021-01-25 08:14:21 

In reply to Norm

Shakib gets his half century.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:17:49 

Reifer to bowl, over the wicket to Shakib. A ball going to middle-leg finds the inside edge of Shakib's bat, as he tries to turn it to the leg side. Bowled!!!

Replay shows the ball moved a bit in the air, then cut back the other way.

179-4 in 36.4 overs.

Mahmadullah in.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:20:37 

Mayers replaces Harding. Another good, tight over from Mayers.

186-4 in 38 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:27:35 

Reifer again. Struggling with his line now, bowling around the wicket. Decent over, nevertheless.

190-4 in 39 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:40:17 

Harding again. He bowls a couple of good balls per over, but lets the pressure off with ill directed deliveries.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:44:14 

Alzari back.

226-4 in 44 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:48:18 

Harding again. Very wide down leg. Slower ball on off. SIX! Full toss on middle. 4!!!

Off side field set, and Harding is straying down leg. 14 off the over, the most expensive thus far.

 
goliath 2021-01-25 08:52:46 

We could be looking at 300 here if someone doesn't put a cramper on happy hour

 
analyst-kid 2021-01-25 08:53:09 

Probably want to give him experience but mistake to bring Harding here...Mayer’s and Reifer are better bowlers at the death.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:55:35 

Batsmen on top. Field set deep and Joseph has to field to his own bowling.

5 runs off another superb over from Alzari.

 
goliath 2021-01-25 08:57:49 

Good over from Alzarri - 5 runs

 
Norm 2021-01-25 08:58:49 

Reifer to bowl.

Short outside off. Pull by Mush over mid wicket for SIX!!!
Good length on off and Mush skies it to Joseph, who takes a very good high catch at cover! Mushfiqur gone!!!

 
natty_forever 2021-01-25 09:01:12 

In reply to mikesiva

Here we are feeling good about the bowling. But in the back of our head we know we going struggle to make 150.

 
natty_forever 2021-01-25 09:02:45 

Well washappy.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:03:14 

Full toss outside off, as Reifer tries to hide it. Mahmadullah guides it over the keeper for 4 more!

262-5 in 47 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:04:16 

Alzari into his last over, with 2 more to come.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:08:27 

End of another superb spell of bowling by Alzari!

10-0-48-2.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:09:03 

Reifer to bowl.

 
goliath 2021-01-25 09:09:54 

Impressive by Alzarri

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:13:14 

Reifer completes his spell now.

10-0-61-2.

Not bad.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:13:27 

Harding to bowl the last over. Wow.

First ball: SIX or long off!!! Mahmadullah gets his 50 too, the fourth of this innings. First time ever for Bang.

Soumya run out by a brilliant throw by Akeal!!!

 
goliath 2021-01-25 09:15:31 

Six runs from Reifer’s last over...but Harding to bowl the last!

 
mikesiva 2021-01-25 09:16:22 

In reply to Norm

Rahim caught Joseph bowled Reifer 64

Another half century.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:17:24 

New batsman in. Ball on leg. Hit over the mid wicket field for 4!!!

On a length of off. Single.

SIX!!!

19 off the over. Not over yet. No ball!

Very bad decision to bowl Harding there. Mayers would have been a much better choice.

297-6 in 50 overs.

A bowling effort that started out commendably winds up being a poor effort.

 
mikesiva 2021-01-25 09:19:59

Mahmudullah 62 not from 42 balls.

Good innings.

Fifties galore. WI batsmen still to get a single 50 in the entire series.

 
natty_forever 2021-01-25 09:21:39 

The captains handling of Harding left a lot to desire.

 
goliath 2021-01-25 09:21:48 

19 from Harding’s last over + 3 more from overstep freehit

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:24:01 

In reply to natty_forever

The captains handling of Harding left a lot to desire.

I agree. Why have him bowl that last over? That was a very poor decision. Jason Mohamed has done nothing to recommend himself as a captain here.

 
analyst-kid 2021-01-25 09:25:15 

Mayers is a death bowler. Barbados would never bowl Harding in death overs.

How could Mohammed bowl a rookie on his debut the final over?

Mohammed makes Jason Holder look brilliant as a captain...Bangladesh only should score 250 to 260 here.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:28:06 

In reply to analyst-kid

Mohammed makes Jason Holder look brilliant as a captain

He needs to bat his ass off now to justify even his selection in this team, let alone captain.

Both the bowling coach, captain and the few experience players was not around to talk to Harding and guide him, during his overs.
I am so disappointed in the entire CWI management group.

In reply to natty_forever and shivnotout

I cannot think of any possible explanation for making Harding bowl 10, while Mayers bowled 7, at less than 5 per over.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 09:52:09 

Ottley and Ambris batting.

WI 1-0.

Pitched up just outside off. Ambris hits it over mod off for 4 runs.

6-0 in 1 over.

 
number09 2021-01-25 09:55:30 

This already done

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:00:58 

Mustafizur bowling outside off and getting some away swing. Bring his line a bit closer to off, and Ottley quickly obliges him with a reckless swing to edge it to the keeper!!!

WI 7-1 in 2 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:05:10 

12-1 in 3 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:09:16

This cold Banks that I am sipping is good! smile

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:10:28 

Saifudin to Bonner. Pitched up on off. Driven nicely thru covers for 4!

Full toss on off. Cut nicely thru the vacant slips for 4 more!!!

 
mikesiva 2021-01-25 10:12:14

Ottley out for one. One down.

23-1 in 5 overs. Bonner looking good.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:15:09 

Mustafizur to Ambris.

Over mid off again for 4!

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:17:46 

Ambris rapped on middle and is gone lbw!!!! Did not move forward and just flailed his bat down at the last minute.

No surprises there.

WI 30-2.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:18:53 

Mayers in. Immediately swings wildly at a ball outside wide. And at another one!

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:21:19 

Taskin Ahmed to bowl. 139.9 k first ball. Elbow jerking like crazy.

Full to Mayers. Eased forward of point for 4!

142 k, but that elbow is a big problem. Comms quiet about that, of course.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:25:30 

Mustafizur to Mayers. Driven sweetly thru the covers for 4!!!

Mustafizur has dismissed Ambris 3 out o3 innings in this series. The 1st and last were almost identical.

Norm 2021-01-25 10:35:06 

Taskin again. Elbow not as bad now. No, he's pelting about a third of them.

WI 44-2 in 10 overs.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:41:29 

46-2 in 11 overs. Bonner seeing the ball and blocking well. Not batting with a straight bat against spin tho. He is looking really good against the pace.

 
Norm 2021-01-25 10:47:24 

Mehidy to Mayers. Pitched about leg and raps him on the back foot, playing back to a good length ball. Given out lbw! Mayers appeals. Gone!!!

WI 47-3.

Mayers already found out by Bang, who brought on Mehidy as soon as Mayers came in to bat.

Beyond us now, it seems.

Let us see if we could last 5 days in the Tests.
