I left at the rain break at over 35 the score was 146/5 and when I came back at the last over the score was 215/7. I was a bit perplexed and confused, I couldn't work out why the score was so low. The final total of 217 is to say the least very uninspiring but who knows maybe the overcast conditions were really tough to bat in. We have a pretty good pace attack I hope they use these conditions to make a game of this low total and then the spinners can contain to add pressure. Let's see how the West Indies bat before we judge the score.

After a borderline disappointing performance. Really looking forward to Taskin's bowling.

Indeed. If our pacers maintain line and length, we might have a game here...

[cricbook]

Nothing to say when ur best scorer straggle against Narnine or bravo or Gail or anybody name it .... He did 100. But I'm sure, he would do much better if musy or riad helped him out. If sakib was in the team, i would say with his bowling merit we had a chance... But with our flop gazi or whatever .... Not seeing logical help. But still hoping, they will prove me wrong.

[Faisal]

Very bad score, should have score little quick on power play, 250 would be good score... well but lets see

[RazabQ]

They managed to underwhelm even my low expectations! 30 overs of dot balls! I bet we start with Gazi on Gayle because of his "hex"

[Tiger Manc]

West Indies ki Test match kheltese naki?

[SS]

It's a piece of cAke for Batters in WI

[cricman]

[SS]

Cricinfo comments poira mone hoi as if Gazi is someone like Saqi gorar dim

[nightwatchman]

al amen almost gave me heart attack

[cricman]

All of other Pace Prospects/bowlers sans Taskin < Mashrafe on 1 leg

[roman]

Gayle gone

[Tigers_eye]

Going with the scorecard, last few overs we couldn't capitalize.

Plus:
Imrul Kayes: 16.6 DJ Bravo to Anamul Haque, drama in Grenada! Anamul might have thought it was a free hit because he charged down the pitch and slogged the ball to deep midwicket. The single was easy, the second was easy, but the wasn't so straightforward. The batsmen began to run the third and then they collided in the middle of the pitch. Kayes scrambled to try and make it but he was well short at the time the stumps were broken by Ramdin. The collision took place somewhere near short midwicket, that is ridiculous running, both batsmen might have been watching the ball. 69/2

Shamsur Rahman: 20.1 84.9 mph, I thought that appeal was initially to persuade the umpire not to call a wide down leg side but it looks like Shamsur has tickled an ordinary delivery straight to Ramdin. Umpire Kettleborough took an age to raise his finger. The delivery from Bravo was fairly innocuous, on a length and sliding down leg, the batsman should have glanced that for four 80/3

[Murad]

Awesome!
Only 3 runs in 3 over and a wicket.

[cricman]

Lets get Taksin in now
