[roaring_tiger]

did shahadat bowl this morning?...
i remember he used to be very good in the mornings..

[Mr-Cricket]

Shahahahahadat on - this will be interesting!

[Frost]

take him Rajib...........

gilly's wicket, either one at this point, is very crucial. We need one pretty desperately right now. No need to mention what kinda danger gilchrist poses once he is set. even gillepsie can become a potential spoilsport from bd perspective if hez not sent back packing soon. ive seen the guy play long innings b4 and that too in subcontinental conditions. the guy can stay in the middle forever and eat up hundreds of balls without scoring runs thus frustrating the bowlers and allowing his partner to play his natural game and cause some serious trouble. Good luck to our bowlers.

Usually, this is the time that I miss not having a proper leg spinner in the side.

The last wicket partnership has produced 63 runs between Brett Lee and Adam Guilchrist. Now this partnership of Gillespie and Guilchrist is looking to be going towards another big partnership, may be even a century partnership.

get the damn gillys wicket....

[Hasib]

oh no.... Gilly is Killing us...but inshallah we can still win this!!!

[fwullah]

I don't think we're gonna be able to get Australia all out below 350.

[ottawaGuy]

noooo-oooo-oooh.. aussies into the 200's and gilly wont quit scaring us.. =( *closes eyes* i can't bare to watch.

[ottawaGuy]

wut the eeehf!!!! ..i'm getting pissed now, hope our representatives are having a better time.

[ASA]

Gilchrist may actually get a 100 as it appears - but total won't be above 250.

[Miraz]

Aussies are definitely saving the follow-on. A very professional and chanceless innings from Gilchrist.

We desperately need a wicket.

[IanW]

Guys,

Calm down. Australia were always going to fight back.

All this needs is good line-and-length bowling ... Lee's already gone this morning, and Gillepsie is the last of the bowlers who can bat a bit.

[ASA]

why are we allowing Gillespie to stay on for so long ?!!!

[vv_sunil]

somebody said in this forum that aus will carry the innings with their tail-enders. yes, it is happening here, as was in the case of many previous cases

[Miraz]

We need enamul to bowl from other end. He is the man who was troubling the batsman most.

[ottawaGuy]

we don't need JUST any wicket.. we demand gilchrists exile!!!!!!

[IanW]

Asa,

Gilly is perhaps the best wicket-keeper/batsman there ever was.

Relax and calm down. It''s just a matter of Bangladesh keeping doing what they are doing, and the wickets will come.

Process not outcomes.

this is pretty frustrating...this partnership nearing 50 now...they'll clearly avoid the follow on. pretty disappointing.

[vv_sunil]

i think aftab can do something this time

[BappyHayat]

Its Australia Mate...They are almost back in Action

They will lucky enough if they can avoid the follow on

Lets hope for the BEST of the BEST for BD second innings

Asif,

Look at what you are saying, and know how well the team must be playing to have you say that.
