I think Ash can put us in either situation. It will be suicide if he goes for hit and win at this moment.
Better stick to the plan for a draw now and think about win after 20 to 25 overs later.
I am more than happy with a draw and a series win.

OMG he is gone already!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHA! Sorry had to laugh at your post.. Classic

The team will learn a lesson that negetive attitude ultimately gives nothing in the end.

And I would love if they darw. That wuill teach them how to stay in the wicket and get some DRAW in England.

Also it will teach them whren to attack and whren to be defensive to their advantge, not necessairy be attcking moode regarless of the team's need.

A series win is what we need right now for BD cricket.

Look as soon as they tried to for a win (more or less) this happened - | . . . . W 2 | 1 1 1 W . . |

I think since they sort of tried but it backfired, they should keep to the original plan and that is to block/defend. It'll be boring cricket but we'll still be glued to the screen

PoorFan · #**258** January 18, 2005, 02:07 AM

shovon13 · #**265** January 18, 2005, 02:10 AM

bd 166/3 after 100 overs. nafis is on 101

they need 208 more runs from 46 overs.

PoorFan · #**266** January 18, 2005, 02:11 AM

Hope Nafis dont bring the end of innings now.

fab · #**267** January 18, 2005, 02:11 AM

I'm afraid his concentration may lapse now that he has his century

Let's hope he can keep up his concentration like Taibu!

Tintin · #**268** January 18, 2005, 02:11 AM

99.4 Hondo to Nafis Iqbal, two runs, on leg stump, turns it to backward
square leg and gets his 1st test match century!
Nafis Iqbal 100 in 309 balls, 14x4

Slowest ever for BD

Javed Omar, 292 balls in Peshawar was the previous one,

Navarene · #**269** January 18, 2005, 02:12 AM

thanks shovon for score... it seems like we need to play good one day game to win this test...i still beleive draw is best for us now

ami_bd · #**271** January 18, 2005, 02:13 AM

Great going except those two wickets. Poor Habibul and Ashraful. Hopefully Nafis shows enough maturity and takes us to a draw.

Trying for win will give us nothing but defeat. It requires lot of mental fitness and capability to do so. With all due respect to our team I don't think we have that. I would be happy to be proved wrong.

bourny3 · #**272** January 18, 2005, 02:13 AM

Great century Nafis.

PoorFan · #**273** January 18, 2005, 02:14 AM

Bashar and Ash should learn from today's Nafis, and I am serious.

bourny3 · #**274** January 18, 2005, 02:15 AM

Definitely draw is the aim. Hopefullys Nafis makes 150.

reyme · #**275** January 18, 2005, 02:16 AM

What is Ash's avg against the "weakest Bowling" ZIM in this series???
