Match thread: Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, Day 5, Test 1

[otoshi]

248 and have 4 wickets..is it possible?i dont think so..may b we r gonna have our first test winning

[Beamer]

I was just remembering the comments made by Coach McIness a few days ago in this forum about Enam. He put to rest the unfair comparisons between Enam and Rana as a bowler in a thread. He said that even Australia doesn't have a young talent like Enam, at this age level, in the spin dept. He is definitely a wkt taking spinner. Every time a spinner attacks like the way he does with lots of air and the subsequent turn that it generates, is bound to get him to wkts. He has added the armer in his arsenal as well. He took the last four wkts to fall in this innings with four top order bataman. Good luck to him and victory is just around the corner..

yeah! how is that.

[bangalee]

BD will get last 4 wickets in 20-25 overs max, which means we might get the Victory Test in less than 2 hours from now.. can't wait

Rafique should strike after break and shake the Zim tail off

Go BD GO
:fanf lag:

Beamer. Rana may have a big fan club but the comparison is almost heretical ! Rana is a bits and pieces player in both departments of the game. Like Mushfiqur as well !

Enamul has class ! He is a classical left arm spinner of the Bedi mould !

1920x1200? This isn't 4:3, not 16:9, what kind of resolution it is?

I don't like Rana. Can't understand why people love him, when they hate Mushfiq. Both are too mediocre for International level, and totally useless for Test cricket.

My speculation on match result now:

BD win = 80% chance, Draw = 20% chance, ZIM win = 0% chance

[Beamer]

Responding to Imtiaz as this being the best possible team..Absolutely.
Six batsmen, four genuine bowlers after a long long time. Mashrafee is such a difference maker for this team. His attitude by itself is a winning one and is bound to have positive effect on the other players. I am happy that they kept faith in Rajin. That innings against India gave his confidence in himself back and he has become a lot more aggressive as a batsman. Sort of took the shackles off himself. I have seen Aftab bat and rate him way ahead of nafis as a batsman. He will come good for us as well. Our tail is as good as any team in the world and surely better than WI and Zimbabwe.

my laptop supports either WUXGA (1920x1200) or WXGA+ (1440x900) these two resolutions.

WUXGA active-matrix display with a resolution of 1920x1200, 16 million colours.

People like Rana because in a team of mediocre losers they "fight". They like that because Rana et al do not give up. He may not have much talent but , at least, he tries. Hopefully, Bangladesh have elevated themselves recently to a higher standard ! Our need for such players will diminish accordingly.

Equally baffled by Rana's huge following in this forum as well. Don't doubt his guts but on talent alone, purely as a bowler, its unfair to Enam by comparing him to Rana. Sure Rana is a better batsman but thats not why he was in the team.

[Spitfire_x86]

Trend of this forum:

Loves Durjoy and Rana
Dislikes/Hates Sumon
Dislikes Enamnul Haque Jnr.

[Beamer]

Chacha is another mediocore cricketer who fights and hence such hero worshipping towards him among the general pop!

[AGC]

Chacha is more successful than Rana/Mushfique, and he is experienced which matters, too.

138/6
mashrafi on now

[Spitfire_x86]

Mashrafee is bowling from the other end.

[betaar]

not to burst the bubble, mind you that we are palying a 2nd string 9th ranked team.
I know nobody will be happpier then me when BD wins today, but let's not make illogical comparisons with the talents of our players.
