Best ODI innings ever?

beshideshi · #1 July 29, 2009, 09:18 AM

I was really impressed by the way Bangladesh handled the target of 275 last night[29 july] From start to finish, everyone seemed to have a plan, and most of them tried to stick to it. The way Ashraful played was probably a compressed version of BD innings, started well, batted as the scoring rate asked him to, and then lost way at the very end.
If we consider the pressure that was on the team, i.e. expectation/largest run chase ever, this was probably the best ODI innings by the Bangladeshi team. Other candidates for the best innings are 250 against Australia, and some others[listed]
Which one do you think is the best innings ever??

A couple of corrections, option 1 should be 276

The way they wanted to give away their wickets in the end how can that be the best ODI innings for BD?

Everyone getting a start and not finishing (top six) how can that be the best .....?

Bd must Thank WI bowlers and Shakib should gift all three black berries to Roach, Sammy and Bernard for all the wides, collision and beamers.

i think 250 against Australia was the best one ever

Ashraf-FTP · #4 July 29, 2009, 09:35 AM

i think that (against Australia) was the best run chase.. also the unsuccessful one against India and the unsuccessful one against England (natwest- after beating australia.. ash scored 94..)were good..

beshideshi · #5 July 29, 2009, 09:36 AM

I think I am a bit covered in the current emotion, some of our batsmen did make some mistakes. but the pressure was immaculate. And unlike the Cardiff game, this[windies] was a team effort. I personally think the 276 was a better innings, but loved the 250 as well.

Sovik · #6 July 29, 2009, 09:52 AM

all of them.

sbsash · #7 July 29, 2009, 10:45 AM

I'm a little confused between BD vs WI and BD vs AUS.But I voted BD vs WI

#2. No brainer.

Zeeshan · #9 July 29, 2009, 10:54 AM

Word ^ #2.

Rabz · #10 July 29, 2009, 10:55 AM

That innings against Australia is still our best effort by far.
Spot on Haji shaab.

Murad · #11 July 29, 2009, 10:57 AM

#2 & #5

Both innings were against the No.1 ODI teams.

MohammedC · #12 July 29, 2009, 10:59 AM

All of them

simon · #13 July 29, 2009, 02:44 PM

the 1 against Austr was the best.
But against WI yesterday it was a very clever & well judged effort.

Orpheus · #14 July 29, 2009, 02:52 PM

I feel embarrased to have his 275 with all the great innings ie aus, sa, india. This game was Pathetic. Yeah we won but this match was very difficult to watch given how poorly both team played....

Bangladesh won beause WI played more poorly than BD.. it doesn't mean BD didn't play poorly. West indies bowling was CRAP....their fielding was atrocious, their idiot wicket keeper with his ugly sunglasses gave us free brownies when few runs save here tand there could have put a LOT OF PRESSURE on our batsman...

This is one of the worst game I have seen Bangladesh play...

Not a single out was from a decent ball (atleast the ones I saw)...the wickets we took weren't so great either.. GIFT GIFTS all around.

Orpheus · #15 July 29, 2009, 03:03 PM

oh yeah, can someone tell that idiot tamim to stop charging up to the bowler. He looks like a damn fool when he can't connect. Yesterday.... he only connected one ball out of the 50 or so he faced;. it's as if he never held a cricket bat... no one is talking about him I am surprised....

lol.. calm down.. he does look like a fool.. noones talking about him cause WE WON.. IF WE LOST EVERYONE WOULD BE ON ASH, TAMIM, AND SHAKIB CAUSE ALL OF THEM THREW THEIR WICKET AWAY.. Tamim needs to learn how to keep his eye on the ball when charging first, then he should charge.. charging and failing to connect is stupid..

All is forgiven when you are victorious. To tell you the truth, some here are quite delusional. Winning does help change the mindset of the team. But to tell you the truth, we still had to rely on the likes of Ashraful and Shakib to get us through. Zunaid, Roqib, Naem, Mahmudullah and all jhodu modhu players are complete rubbishes.

And frankly, I am really worried about our bowlers. These so called "new spin allrounders are going to be net practice bowlers to real teams. Some here even claim that we now possess the best "spin" attack. I just hope they would not be the first ones to start hate thread on these so called spinners. And don't even get me started on the pacers.

Zeeshan · #18 July 29, 2009, 04:14 PM

I'd say our 280somethingish chase against Pakistan far outweighs this one. Yes, we won...but scoring that much of runs in ODI against the likes of a non-second string team is a greater feat than this recent one.

auntu · #19 July 29, 2009, 04:55 PM

250 against the Aussie...Best approach and also English pitch also best bowling opponent...

sharjilh · #20 July 29, 2009, 05:29 PM

just kicking the Indians out of the World Cup 2007 was unbelievable! Doesnt matter even if it was only 192 runs....greatest innings ever!

Ajfar · #21 July 29, 2009, 05:42 PM

the best ODI innings WILL come against England

beshideshi · #22 July 29, 2009, 08:28 PM

i believe winning makes the biggest difference, that is y the 280ish doesnt count for much. If we are chasing 400 and score 350,it may be our highest score,but may not be the best innings. And that is why I liked the way the inning was built against WIN.making a aplan,nd sticking to it. My main argue,ment against the 250 would be, that BD were under no pressure what so ever. If we failed, no one would car, and anyone saying it was no flluke,should re think. This is probably what makes the 276 better.
Despite talking against the 250, i think these 2 innings were absolutely fantastic.

beshideshi · #23 July 29, 2009, 08:33 PM

and about the spinners...this is a big worry, our pace attack is nothing without Mash. This was exposed against a second tier windies team. Also the spinners arent as good as the members here are making them. The only bowlers in the team,who will trouble the top quality batters are Shakib,Razza,Enamul. This is the truth, and yes,it hurts. We must generate a new stream of pacers, who will be able to threaten the top batters in the game

250 V. Australia at Cardiff

The Tigers' chase had an electricity to it that is yet to be matched.

Naimul_Hd · #25 July 30, 2009, 05:43 AM

undoubtedly, for me, 250 against Mighty Australia at Cardiff. wat a match tht was. i can still feel the thrill when i think abt tht match...
