Still, these games are important for our team to get some cricket under them for the challenging few months ahead

You guys have really came on the last couple years though

welcome Willie. No doubt Bangladesh has improved a lot since 99. You guys are also getting on the line. I believe within five years from now, Scotland would be very competitive. You just have to play against the big guys. I wish good luck.

Scotland is on the back foot.
Gone another one.
Craig Wright is run out.
74/7

Agree with Beamer. But it will be more mental game against Ind and SL.
Our bowlers have to keep their heads cool and bowl wicket to wicket.
NOt sure the rest 10 overs how the opponent will treat the part time bowlers.

has anyone played EA Cricket 07 here? I just got the player editor and entered all the new faces of BD team. The game is awesome. You really need patience to chase runs in 5* mode.

The problem we face is a lack of finance. Most of these guys have jobs and it is a real bind for them to get time off to play cricket. We just do not have the funding in place that would let them go full time and concentrate on their cricket.

As for todays game, we really did not expect a close game at all today, you guys have been impressive lately and we have been practising indoors whch is no real option.

It is exciting though that in the next few months we will get to play a lot of cricket and hopefully by the end of that spell we can show some real improvement

[Beamer]

off topic : do you guys know what happened to our jamaibabu vlad mamu? man..he was entertaining.

[cricman]

I guess Ash is only playing to get a good tan

[cRow]

look at the eco rate of our bowlers, .50 and .29...... ever bret lee lojja paise.
