Jadukor transforms into a soothsayer, a prophet of doom and ill portent. :-)

You're right. I hope when Mushy and co. say that they're working on their weaknesses during net and practice sessions, they really mean it and are not just saying it to sound professional.

Al Amin told Cricinfo that 'he had never seen so much dew'. Another example of a player befuddled by his own home conditions.

After so many matches in Dhaka and Chittagong, didn't they know there could be dew? Who were they planning to bowl in such an eventuality? A spinner?! If Al Amin is already the designated bowler to bowl in damp conditions, why isn't he practicing to bowl with a damp ball in the nets?
