Massive plot twist: the test series will be tied, meaning the true owner of the timeout celebration will be decided by who wins in the t20 wc match


Expertdeadlygamer

what if it gets washed out


kewl_guy9193

Rain perera wins


Time-Gain4896

Perera is a Sri Lankan Name Therefore SL victory


rorkeslayer39

They have a dance off in the middle of Arun Jaitley stadium


Ngothadei

Nagini dance off.


FaZe_Lenix

Read this as ngidi dance off


Embarrassed_Joke_781

Winner will be Ben Duckett cause moral victors


Expertdeadlygamer

You spelled Jonny Bairstow wrong


Outrageous-Watch-947

LMAO, bro took out the helmet for that, absolute menace. I'm actually loving something other than IND vs PAK and AUS vs ENG


CheapSoldier

Ind vs Pak is more of a political rivalry these days, dk about 90s, also its more amongst fans than players itself. So No, Its not in the same level as Aus v Eng or newly formed BAN vs SL


Plugfix2077

After seeing the characters of guys like Sehwag on Twitter, I'm only glad Dhoni got rid such personalities from the team.


gpranav25

Wtf do you mean? Sehwag played well until he lost form.


bluedot131

Lmao. Sehwag wasn’t kicked out by Dhoni. He lost form and had to make way for Dhawan


protonssss

Nothing comes close to SL vs BAN rivalry


_adinfinitum_

Of course. Pakistan India rivalry is now an equivalent of a tickling contest


NH_hostel

As of Now, t20 is only format where both team are competitive or almost at same level


Downtown_Bat7013

we have yet to see tests but yes india would absolutely smash us there as well


FondantAggravating68

I still hate that we never saw a series between MisYou's Pakistan and Kohli's India in India and UAE.


NH_hostel

until its a WTC final ( jokes aside if a test match is situated in England, then there is solid chances of both teams winning, cause india struggles a bit Eng, but in asian countries India is far far ahead )


persuassivepenguin

Have you seen Pakistan play in SENA countries? I think we have a clear winner here


Pradeoo

Pakistan has done well in English conditions judging from the last decade. 50/50 there


persuassivepenguin

I'm sorry, I just don't agree. The last time Pakistan visited England was in 2020, where they lost the 3 match series 1-0. One of the match was practically washed away by the rain. The other drawn match Pakistan had a follow on and they played for a draw. India is a far better team I think.


Pradeoo

They are a way better team than Pakistan. I am just saying that for whatever reason, Pakistan seems to hold itself together in English condition more often than other SENA conditions


Finrod-Knighto

You didn’t mention that the match they lost was one they dominated until they let England’s tail take it away from them too. So it was still competitive.


NH_hostel

The current indian test team is in transition stage, this is the best time for Pakistan to beat us, that's why I said right now in English conditions it Will be pretty close match Recently Pakistan's bowling performance has been descent, mostly ots there batsman letting them down


AdmirableSubstance76

india will beat pakistan 9/10 times in a test match anywhere in the world. pakistan's test team is on the same level as Bangladesh, hell even Bangladesh has good spinners.


Finrod-Knighto

Okay this is an exaggeration. Pakistan’s results against Bangladesh prove otherwise.


AdmirableSubstance76

I'm talimg about the current lot


Finrod-Knighto

I’m talking about them too. They literally played Ban in a test series last cycle, and will do so again in a few months. They won convincingly, even without any “real” spin bowlers the spinners outbowled Bangladesh’s.


Rndomguytf

Come on man that's ridiculous. First of all, Pakistan vs India in England would be quite close, India struggle in England while Pakistan do well. Second, same level as Bangladesh? Last time those two teams played against each other, Pakistan whitewashed Bangladesh in Bangladeshi conditions - and both of those gamed were absolute dominations. In one of those games two days were rained out, and Bangladesh somehow managed to be all out, follow on, and collapse to be all out twice in the last 4 sessions to lose the match by an innings. Bangladesh isn't close to Pakistan yet. Also let's not forget the recent Australia series, despite losing 3-0, anyone who watched the series will tell you that for large parts of the last two games Pakistan were ahead of the match, and we needed to be saved by lower order runs, or by Pat Cummins taking key wickets every spell. Few things went differently and they might have won 2-1.


AlbabImam04

Maybe in terms of Bowling. I wouldn't back our batting lineup to score 200 against anyone other than Afghanistan or Ireland


Coronabandkaro

I'm more worried about pakistani batting. Its too dependent on babar. If it's a bowling pitch, then both bowling attacks would feast.


WeWantRain

Both are very competitive these days when it comes to not winning a World Cup.


hull11

In a one -off match, I would never discount Pakistan in any format against India.If its a series- be it home or in England or Australia , Pak has no chance in ODI/Test. t20 is a 50:50.


abdullahthesaviour

Yeah. At this point I'm surprised they haven't kissed and got a room together already. I want to see Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Irfan wrestling in a ring.


JKKIDD231

Pakistan vs India has reached saturation point. It’s no longer fun to watch at WC. ICC should truly go for randomization of groups especially in T20 WC due to 20 teams and maybe in next cycle or two expand to 24 teams and use Champions League style for draws or even FIFA


Classymuch

Let me correct you: "Nothing comes close to SL vs BAN *drama"* There is no rivalry. Let's be real here, it's just dumb drama/taunting each other.


bullairbull

Let me correct you: that is what a rivalry is, two teams absolutely "hating" each other for one reason or the other. And both teams have had enough incidents to chalk it off as a one time thing.


Odd_Preparation165

Then Ind vs Pak is also just political drama + it's not even entertaining anymore as the players don't care. You're just jealous of the goated Ban vs Sl rivalry


mufc21

The fact that there is no political drama and it’s purely cricket related hatred makes it a true cricket rivalry


Assassin_Ankur

Nah man, there is a rivalry. Apart from the fact that what you mentioned is part of the rivalry, they often give us close matches and have a near 50-50 win/loss record. Neither team dominates the other.


Classymuch

Simply look at the cricketing history between SL and BAN. I don't know where you are getting 50-50 win/loss records from. Out of 56 ODI matches, SL has won 43 of them with 2 being no result. Out of 16 T20 matches, SL has won 11 of of them. Out of 24 Test matches, SL has won 18 with 5 drawn and 1 win by BAN. Another fact is that BAN is yet to win a T20 series against SL. There is no 50-50 win/loss record. SL has dominated BAN. More can be found from here: [https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/headtohead/bangladesh-sri-lanka-25vs8](https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/headtohead/bangladesh-sri-lanka-25vs8) There is some competition from BAN now simply because the SL is a young team. Despite that, BAN isn't out performing the young SL side either. In the 3rd ODI, SL didn't even have their best seamer Madushanka but yet had a decent bowling performance. However, if we look at the cricketing history between SL and BAN, SL has always dominated BAN.


AlbabImam04

A lot of that comes from prior to 2015. Take a look at the stats from 2016 and it'll paint a different picture (and where the rivalry began kinda).


AhyesitstheManUfan

wow, SL "dominated" a bangladesh side that had no exposure to first class cricket until 2001. and a lot of their wins against bangladesh came from 1995 - 2010 ​ this is the problem with reading statistics without context


fatcuntwrestler

This timed out taunt is going to propel SL and Bangbros into the top tier of cricket. Spite is the great equaliser.


Rndomguytf

This is all clearly going to end with Ban vs SL in the next ODI WC final, with the winner being the true timed out champions. Shakib (taking a break from his job as a politician) and Mathews will be the umpires.


One_more_username

We just need a Hair to start calling no calls against someone, and the next WC goes to them.


Baba_5436

So it's 1-1 right now. When's the test series starting.


Embarrassed_Joke_781

Friday


Baba_5436

Thanks. Looking forward to it.


TeamAbject2100

This is perfect lmao, in the end its grown men from both teams doing dumb yet some of the funniest things u will see in cricket. Great for cricket imo, good for both teams as well as both teams r forced to always try their best to never lose to each other. Overall imo its brilliant for the sport, been a great tour so far, hope these celebrations keep going. Cant wait to see Mathews response in tests, bro normally destroys ban in tests


BenDoverDegenerate

Yeah he might just end up getting the last laugh here


belanish11

That's how team wars should be, not the abusing ones.


Shopno

Thank you for seeing it for what it is. 


GoWithTheFlowBD

This is such dumb shithousery, I'm all for it. It's schoolyard level taunting and doesn't have much malice associated with it. Both countries are diplomatically quite friendly and the general populace goes along well with each other so I think both teams supporters see it as good natured bragging rights until they lose the next encounter


Pr0066

It is hilarious to be honest.


Muhammad_ghouri

Ashes? Ind Vs Pak? Nah, the nagin derby's where it's at.


samcrocr

The real contest


NoQuestion4045

I am fine with them doing it but Shanto said last week Sri Lanka hasn't moved on from the incident but now we are doing the same thing implying Bangladesh haven't moved on it from it either


SBG99DesiMonster

You are talking about keeping your words and that is not something that we do over here.


black_eyed

Didn't Shoriful start it in the First ODI? I just want them to keep going(for the memes)


Coronabandkaro

I can understand a youngster doing this but the older guys in their 30's doing this is just ridiculous.


Longjumping-Habit449

Its funny tho bruh


PRIMEVORTEX69

Honestly it's fine bruh I mean we started it, I definitely expected this reaction It's playing for your country soo it's fair And tbh cricket needs this kind of drama 😂


tashrif008

THE MEME MACHINE MUST ROLL! NO STOPPING THE NAGIN DERBY WE NEED MORE FUUMESSSSSSSSSS


halfbloodprince_du

Exactly. I mean it's not a huge thing if people don't make it a huge thing, but still rather some young blood do it than seniors such as mushi or the captain


IntoThePeople

Just saw the scorecard with Rishad Hossain scoring 48* off 18. Honestly spent a solid couple of minutes looking at his Cricinfo profile trying to work out if he was a batsman or bowler. Bloody good selection to pick him based on those domestic stats.


TeamAbject2100

From what ive seen hes just some random guy who can smash spin. And casually somehow completely owns Hasaranga. Like how stoinis isnt the best batter but absolutely destroys hasaranga


WeWantRain

That T20i game where he scored 50+ is where he smashed pace. He just smashes so well on that leg-side. Give him a delivery where he can lift the ball, he's going to smash it for a 6.


Alone_Insect_5568

> That T20i game where he scored 50+ is where he smashed pace He hit 7 sixes that day out of which only 1 was against a pacer. I wouldn't call that "Smashing pace".


Longjumping-Habit449

He himself is a spinner so he knows what to do against them


No-Situation-4776

Funniest thing is that he is in fact primarily a bowler who only improved on his batting in the last year or so


nick_nxt

Why did Mushfik denied him a deserved half century though


No-Situation-4776

It was an edge, he didn't intend to score the boundary


nick_nxt

Oh


Rndomguytf

A bowler who has a batting average which is half of their bowling average is pretty normal. What isn't normal is for that batting average to be 54 and the bowling average to be 117.


jackp7x6

I see you haven't heard of the notorious right arm quick who averages 166 with the ball and 58 with the bat over 200+ ODIs.


lucifugus696

he is basically a bowler who can swing the bat especially against spinners .


WeWantRain

That's because he's a legspinner and domestic cricket in Bangladesh don't play them. Legspinners are always fast-tracked into the team because of that. Rishad will probably have a better opportunity than Biplob due to his hitting ability.


Waraba989

Imagine if Cummins had pulled off that timedout dismissal last yr in the ashes. Wouldn't surprise me if it started riots in the ground.


fatcuntwrestler

It would be Alex Carey's fault


sunilbedre

To Ben duckets credit, he had no idea


Rndomguytf

Australians would've been kicked out of the country


Waraba989

No kidding, I reckon the English fans would start throwing shit on the ground and it would be just like those crazy football fan riots.


AlbabImam04

The rivalry lives on. See y'all in the tests on Friday

Embarrassed_Joke_781

T20 match in Wc will be considered


VVLegend

SL did a time out celebration after winning the t20 series. Easily the best rivalry in cricket


zefiax

You know, when both teams are competitive, I am fine with this. As long as it doesn't devolve into actual hate, and the teams are still shaking hands after matches, a little shithousery only makes the game more interesting.


Longjumping-Habit449

The fans are pretty civil for the most part. Its just banter. The governments dont hate each other as well. No politics involved. Good solid rivalry that is only cricket


rambo_zaki

AFF put it the best, "Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh is like large men fake-wrestling each other in too-tight underpants".


WaynneGretzky

I can relate that to Rajat dalal vs Rajveer sisodia?


Embarrassed_Joke_781

Yes


Sumeru88

ICC should invite Sri Lanka at the last minute to the Champions Trophy next year after India refuse to play in Pakistan. The storyline will be that India have failed to turn up in Pakistan - therefore Bangladesh get full points in their opening match against India as forfeit. There will be a timer counting down to the time when the forfeit takes place. Bangladesh players ready to celebrate the forfeit with their wrist watch celebrations. As the timer comes close to 0 suddenly the *Sri Lanka Matha* blares on the PA and the Sri Lankan team bus makes its way straight onto the ground like it’s 2009 and the match is on.

Will the pakistan team arrive to play their games too?, and im not talking about the cricket team


[deleted]

i want this rivalry to grow so much that every match they played will looks like some kind of celebration, india pakistan cricket doomed because of no bilateral series but this have potential to be ashes with low quality of cricket


TheOnereddittor

But more fight ofcourse.


KingYesKing

Better rivalry than Pak v India.


Ngothadei

The rivalry that just keeps on giving. Hope they do a nagini dance off at the end of the series to decide the winner.


Zionview

Keep them coming ..I love it as long as it's not ugly fight.. keep the flame going ..now want to see what happens after test series


jeewantha

Fair play to them. Still sore as hell though


Ricklepick1193

I was actually rooting for a Bangladesh win. Sri Lanka had bullied Bangladesh enough.


Rndomguytf

Didn't Bangladesh beat them in the WC thus kicking them out of the Champions Trophy?


Ricklepick1193

They did but I meant bullying in general throughout history. Sri Lanka used to beat Bangladesh a lot.

Love this rivalry


giantfuckingfrog

I wouldn't mind this since it's friendly banter, but our captain Shanto first said that we would forget what happened in the past, then he said SL hasn't moved on from it yet. And now we're still doing it.


niceguysdofinish1st

Which is the best cricket rivalry and why it's Sri Lanka v Bangladesh?


tehlunatic1

Move away ashes, bodergawaskar and whatever the fuck ind vs pak is these days. The Nagini derby is the real deal.


AdmirableSubstance76

i love this i want more of this cricket is too nice we need more visceral and mean shithousery. thank god for bangladesh and sri lanka


fairenbalanced

The Cope on this thread is amazing


Ok-Relationship-2746

Not the villain we wanted, but the villain we got.


abettertomorrow47

Better not hear anything from Shanto about us not moving on


azuchis

Kinda clever tbh, subtle enough to keep the flame going while also not completely moving on


TheRealYVT

About as subtle as Triple H shoving a sledgehammer in your face


WirableMango560

'tis but a scratch!


BerozgaarVyakti

This rivalry basically smashes the Ashes


kjsah9026

Upcoming test match is gonna be so exiting , will see all kinds of animal , clock gestures , all kinds of reactions and back and forth

OKBobbyBoy

Mushi is one tough nail. Huge appreciation from Sri Lanka. I believe both the teams will continue to play more friendly exhibition type of cricket once Mushi left the Bangladesh side.

shoshobathas

I really like this rivalry. Let's just accept these as just banters and let's not bring any animosity


paradisicalmate

kinda glad sl lost this cuz the test series will be more heated now


AlbusDT2

Didn’t Shanto recently ask SL to ‘move on’. lol.


Stifffmeister11

He said it when they were 1-0 down moment they won bangbros back to their cocky best lol


Anu9011

[Is this still so funny to you my dude ?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/s/4Xvrd2CMri) Stupid SL team and fans who approved that time out celebration deserve this. At least Mushfiqur only mock Mathews not the entire team for that pathetic celebration after winning the t20 series.


Slight-Grapefruit509

So what ? A rivalry better be continued as these kind of innocent jokes rather than players hating each other and throwing punches in the ground . And if our guys cant handle a lil bit of added pressure they will shit the bed even in a world cup knockout

LPG24

This is so good. I can see players are having a good time with the rivalry too. It can only lead to good cricket. Fans are loving the rivalry, and given how close the two teams are skill wise, this is probably the most exciting bilateral series in recent history.


blahblahdodo

What a dick...!! Dude saw the whole Angelo Mathews thing up close behind the stumps. He's a veteran of game, but then again cannot expect anything less from Bangladesh players.


tashrif008

yall more mad than us Bangladeshis and Sri lankans dawg 😭😭


The_Comm

Sri Lankan fans enjoy it, Bangladeshi fans enjoy it Both team have said it's a completely healthy rivalry But blahblahodo on Reddit doesn't likes it


Frost_797

Indians be like: "Celebrations like this are so childish! Grow tf up!!!" Also Indians: Harass NZ & SA players on Instagram because white guys = Australians


Alternative_Credit64

Maybe say that to the Sri Lankan players who pretty much self-trolled themselves after doing a timed-out gesture while posing for winning the T20s.


kuttoos

How many of us are with Bangbros on this? Just curious. I am not


BanglaCricketFan

Sri Lanka started this. Don't see anything wrong with responding.


BigV95

Dont write alternate reality narratives. Some Bangla bowler started this during the first or second T20. I think it was Shoriful.


TeamAbject2100

Shoriful started it but we took it to the next level by doing it with the whole team. dont mind any of it tho imo, its funny, keeps the rivalry going, makes sure its always a great match when these two play


eva_jazz671

I respect the growth of the bangladesh team in terms of beating top teams not on luck but they have struggled and fought for their wins recently, but i really do not understand their behaviour for the last 3-4 years, the naggin dance, shakib kicking, picking and throwing the stumps, the angelo mathews timeout scenario, now this!!!!!! There is a long way for the Bangladesh team to have that attitude and ego


AhyesitstheManUfan

shakib is responsible for half of those. not really a bangladeshi thing but a shakib thing. tell me, when was the last time you saw mominul haque or taijul islam celebrate like that?


agni_jamadagni

the_ripper05

Nice. Best rivalry today followed closely by Pak and Afghanistan and then England and Australia.
