This guy can't even be responsible during crunch moments, now he is captaining. Already we are one batsman down. It did not work for Tendulkar why it would work for Riad.

On another note, last few tests it was always Sangakarra who made the difference between two sides. He single-handedly won many tests or ensured the platform or led his team through against us. Without him this C-grade team should not have any respite in our home ground with or without Shakib.

I just realized that Riyad is now the captain. It is scary!

But what a lovely picture of him in that article. Such a great smile. Riyad is the most photogenic and good looking man in the side.

As per PA, Sujon asked for a spinning track and will hand debut to Tanbir.

Haste haste shes

Mominul will make a 100 for sure. This is CTG. Our comfortable home ground barring all those double centuries from South Africa openers and Aussie bowler.

But but but Gamini 'Fire the Curator' Silva is responsible for preparing this wicket.

Gamini is only for Mirpur. We have a Bangladeshi curator for Chittagong.

Gamini is head curator responsible for all the wickets.

Good question. Let me think about it...I shall get back to you.

Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Mominul Haque, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim, 5 Mahmudullah (capt), 6 Liton Das (wk), 7 Mosaddek Hossain, 8 Mehidy Hasan, 9 Taijul Islam, 10 Nayeem Hasan/Abdur Razzak, 11 Mustafizur Rahman

Not a bad squad compared to the opponent, who seems a grade lower in both bat and bowl. The only strong area for Lanka they might be better fielders as a team.

If 1-7 all makes enough runs and 8-11 all picks up wicket including 1/2 more wickets from no. 3 and 5. We should be all set to win the first one with some competition and the second one at much ease.

Performance wise on paper we are ahead.

As per news, it's Zahid Reza who prepared Chittagong wicket.

During BPL as well, we had different curators responsible for Mirpur, Sylhet, and Chittagong, and Gamini was criticized for not meeting the same standard with other curators.

^I do not see much problem with it, Tanbir was Hathuri's inclusion in the first place.

Win-win proposition for haturu.

If Tanbir clicks, Haturu gets the credit.
If Tanbir fails, its helps haturu's current team.

Dada Bohut challu maal... playing games with our selectors and Chacha.

Wise observation.

But Zahud Reza answers to his superior, and that is Mr. Gamini Silva who is HEAD curator.

Traditionally, ZACS stadium is more sporting, a more even contest between bat and ball. Who knows, Tan-bear and Fizz can work in tandem to dismantle the SL middle order woth the slightly older ball

Judging by his gut, it's more like Tan-beer

One World · #23 January 30, 2018, 11:15 AM

We need to keep our calm and sail through the mind game. If 1st or 2nd day performance is not up to the mark, in case we collapse or Lanka builds a stronger partnership, we should not lose hope. It is a long 5 day to exploit, we need to show grit and temperament. This is our home turf. We beat AUS recently. We beat this team in their home. No way if we give 100% they have a chance.
