Match Thread: Bangladesh vs. West Indies 2nd Test, St. Georges, July 17-21, 2009

[Peace]

Yeah.
Shakib is the real deal. The boy has got everything- intelligence, leadership and cricketing skills. Mash’s departure might be a blessing in disguised.

[Nafi]

Well I just have to say those field settings were brilliant, something that even Ponting and got wrong when using Hauritz to get the final wicket.

[Kabir]

I would never call Mash's departure as a blessing in disguise. We haven't even been able to properly test his captaincy. Until we know what he has to offer, we cannot consider his service as anything other than "a good potential".

[Gowza]

firstly it was just one match and secondly i believe most people were against shakib getting the captaincy not because they thought he couldn't do it but because they wanted him to develop without the extra responsibility of captaincy.

[BanCricFan]

Alok is the real deal.

I look at the stats and it baffles my mind why Shahadat gets so much of the fans' wrath? Because he has a long run up and grunts without any significant pace generated? I understand that it can bother the batsman...but so does Mushi's constant meaningless "Bokor bokor"..I din;t see him getting bashed for that. Is it because Shahadat has an aggressive attitude a fast bowler should have; but he is not truly a fast bowler? so u can't have a positie attitude unless you are Brett Lee or Shoaib Akhter? I don;t remember him comparing himself to Lee or Akhter. It;s the fans who make those assumptions and then bash the athlete when those unrealistic assumptions don;t come true.

The real reason I think Shahadat is so often criticised is that he doesn't have the
typical Banglai "Minmina biral" attitude. we just don;t understand the concept that COCKY can be a good thing sometimes. Guys like Kallis, Chris cairns had no significant pace; but still walked up to the batsmen and looked them righ tin the eye after beating them...I don't think their fans ridiculed them for not having enough pace.

Good you kept your post to ocular territory....

[wiseshah]

most probably line up will be like this

tamim
Imrul kayes
Junaed
mehrab jr ( he can do the same that enam jr can do, plus batting)
mushfiq rahim
sakib
ashraful
mahmudullah
mahbubul robin
shahadat
rubel

I think this will be the line up. and seems like strong line up with both batting and bowling

[wiseshah]

4 spinner
3 pacer
8 batsman
what else u need?--------yeah u need dedication, not throwing up mentality, stay in the crease as long as possible and make some runs.

East or West BC is the Best!!!!!!!!!!!

Commencum Kickomnimus Gluteus Maximus!

[nasimul]

Should go all the way for the whitewash, have to play positive and overcome the over-confidence. This WI team has potential and wouldn't be surprise if they bounce back.

In the build-up to the second Test against Bangladesh Darren Sammy, the West Indies vice-captain, has said the home side is looking for inspiration from their performance in the morning session on the last day of the first Test.
A West Indies team weakened due to the strike action of the region's leading players ran through the Bangladesh tail, taking five wickets for 24 runs early on Monday to give themselves an outside chance of winning before a batting failure led to a 95-run defeat.
"This coming match it will be very important that we repeat the performance of the final morning when we took five wickets in an hour," Sammy said. "We had many positives from the first match and we are really looking forward to levelling the series when we play on Friday."
Sammy was among Bangladesh's main tormentors on the final day in Arnos Vale, finishing with 5 for 70, his second five-wicket haul in Tests. Sammy, a medium-pacer who relies on his accuracy, was hoping for a repeat performance in the second Test.
"Everybody knows I am not an out-and-out attacking bowler who will fire out batsmen. I like to build pressure and try to get among the wickets," he said. "If I can't get a wicket I always hope that the bowler at the other end would be able to capture one. It is all about bowling in partnerships and keeping the batsmen in check.
"[That is] the role I have been asked to do, and I am very comfortable with it. It is the kind of role I perform for the Windward Islands in regional cricket."
The second and final match starts on Friday at St George's with Bangladesh looking to seal their first-ever Test series win. West Indies will again be fielding a second-string side as the dispute between the board and the West Indies Players' Association has still not been resolved.

-------------------------------

Beware BD boys! Definitely they will come hard, time to crush them down.

[auntu]

I don't understand why Nazmul is the replacement of Mash? To bowl at net? Mahbubul Alam Robin is in the side and Nazmul is a bad choice for Test match.

Bagh mama & Co. is killing Bangladesh cricket.
