Bangladesh vs India 3rd ODI

[Indian Patriot]

Even after 1983......

Certainly not. It is advised you learn something about cricket if you think India was still a minnow after 1983.

The largest opening stand in test cricket was done by two Indians and it was much before 83. Farroukh Engineer, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Sunil Gavaskar, the famous spin quartet of India were all renowned names in world cricket.

Lol..... How long you been following cricket?...... And a record or two will make a team a better one?..... By the way I have no disagreement with you on the capabilities of sunny, patodi, etc.... But i was talking about the whole team.....

Lol..... How long you been following cricket?......

Longer than you obviously, since your knowledge on cricket seems to be non-existent.

And a record or two will make a team a better one?.....

Firstly, it was not a "record or two". It was consistent results.

Second, it is records that define a team. bangladesh is a pathetic cricket team because they have not won a single test series. They have been playing ODI since 1977 and still not won a single ICC trophy. Australia is a champion because they won 5 world cups and 16 test matches on trot.

But i was talking about the whole team.....

India was not the number one side but India was no minnow either. Before 1983 world cup the Indian team thrashed west indies team in west indies. Yes, the same west indies that had the likes of andy roberts, viv richards, gordon greenidge in their ranks. THAT west indies team was defeated by India at their home.

For me IPL is the reason why India lost to BD even after play with full strength .

 

[fallstuff]

Well BD played Better cricket..... and they are improving for sure..... Let us not forget not long ago India also was considered to be minnows.......

India should have played the first two games as they played the last one. The margin of second loss was really unexpected. I was hoping India to lose, but not 200/10. It not only speaks about the strength of the BD team, but perhaps also turmoil within the Indian team.
