Match Thread: Bangladesh A vs Zimbabwe A, June 17th - June 20th

[Aritro]

Tushar's technique is so far off the required standard for international cricket it's incredible.

Who taught him that bloody stance?

[Fazal]

I don't get it. People are not happy beacause Tushar just scored another cnetury against a weaker A team. They are making a case that he shouldn't even deserve to be in the team-a. Look at the other side of the coin, we follow Ash's every move like a cult super hero, whether he scores a duck or a 200 against para teams consists of 14 years and 41 years oldies(no in betweens). And evey time he sneezes, one more thread start poping up.

Even Tushar's performance with the national team is pretty bad so far, don't you think he deserve a little better from the BD cricket fans (Tushar fans or not)... atleast just after his another century against a A-team of another test playing nation?

[Baundule]

Tushar did not get enough chances in the national team. One or two matches here and there and then drop. Cricket is a mental game.

[sonarbangla]

the problem wit htushar is that he always plays well in the practice matches.. lol.. when it comes to the real game, he gets blow off! sayy.. remember the time he made 100+ against SRI A? and how shitty his performance was the time he actually got chance in the national team?!

[MartinW]

Close Day One

Bangladesh 365 for 8 (Tushar Imran 128, Shake Nazmus Sadat 62, Mehrab Hossain 46)


Full scorecard later on Cricinfo

[Frost]

Having observed Tushar Imran's career for a while, his century cannot make me hopeful He performs good in A team or practice matches and then keeps failing in REAL matches.

[Sovik]

not very impressive performance and what is shanto doing in this team

It is because nature called Tatenda so he has to stay there :p for quite a long time.Thus his little brother has been called up by the selectors!

[Tehsin]

Two things wrong with Tusher. Most of you covered the easy one - He is a menace in practice matches, matches off little or no value. When it comes to big ones, he chokes.

The other problem has to do more with selectors then him. Tusher barely gets one or two shots at the national team every couple of year. While other players are given a chance to suck match after match, Tusher only gets those one or two shots. He knows it and the pressure gets to him. I'd be willing to give him a full tour and see what he does with that opportunity. He might bomb, however, he won't be the only one.

[sunniath]

i am scared of posting any comments.nannu bhai jodi abar jhari maren for my bad english.tehsin bhai er bhoroshay likhchi shesh porjonto.I was expecting iqbal to score runs to prove his worth for the opening slot.i really think that nafees duo are the best opening combination for our team.tushar's big score is nothing new.i dont see him playing test cricket no matter how well he plays in these matches.but he can become a useful player in odis if given enough opportunities.

[sonarbangla]

sunniath bhai, khali kolsi baje besi. nanu bhai vetore fapa. ai jonno onar sound o ektu besi. next time karo english nea bara bari korle ami dil mere oi kolsi fatabo. so don worry..

ok back to the topic...Frost bhai amar moner kotha bolse. tushar imran always plays well in the A team, but when it comes in the national team, he is a fata ballon. kinda worthless. but hey, i disagree tht nafis iqbal is a really good combo with nafees. i think javed omar is our best opening batsman till now. he has more consistancy than any other batsman does. mm.. but santo r bodole Mohammad Sarif ke khelano uchit chilo. ba tareq aziz..

So far no updates from the TigerCricket.com for the 2nd day. Can we achieve the 400 mark?

[salu]

Can anyone get the score from BCB office as game already at lunch time.

[tglover]

Lunch Day 2: Zimbabwe A 4/50 (Hossain 2wkts; Baisya 2wkts) vs Bangladesh A 393ao

[Miraz]

Bangladesh managed to add another 28 runs to their overnight score and now Zim in trouble with 50/4. BD A should win the match by an innings and few runs.

[Sovik]

looks like we are in a commanding position. great going by Bangladesh A

[Ahmed_B]

Looks good and also gives some clue about the difference in strength between BD-A & ZIM-A. Future prospects don't look good for ZIM and it appears that it's only a matter of time that BD national side pushes the ZIM national side to position 10 and then it will be time for BD to fight with WI & SL for improving ICC ranking to 8th or even 7th position.

That will be BD's goal in the coming 5 years I strongly believe.

[sonarbangla]

hmm in next 5 years.. habibul.. rafique.. omar and masud will not be a part of team bangladesh any more.. since they are getting older.. they are one of our key players..

[tglover]

End of Day 2: Zimbabwe A (following on) 2/116 (Masakadza 44no) and 10/116 (Enamul Haque jnr 5/34) vs Bangladesh A 393ao.
