Match thread: Bangladesh A Team vs West Indies Four Day Match September 22, 2012 (9:30 AM BDT | 3:30 AM GMT) - September 25, 2012 (5:30 PM B

[Gowza]

imrul gone for 6, he's just not a good longer format player at this stage of his career. bowled by permaul.

[Gowza]

and the 2nd wicket has fallen. nasiruddin out to permaul for 16.

[Gowza]

the BD batsmen really need to work on their ability to score singles and two's.

[al Furqaan]

very Poor start...they absolutely cannot lose any more wickets for the next session and a half given that they lost two for virtually nothing...at this rate they will only score 45 in the session.

[Gowza]

mominul yet to get off the mark.

[Gowza]

good over from BD. a couple of singles and a boundary.

[Gowza]

another good over BD, 8 coming off it, 2 boundaries. don't forget to take the singles boys.

[al Furqaan]

4 boundaries in the last 12 balls...need some singles although in longer version there are more gaps to get boudnaries in.

[Gowza]

boundaries are good as long as they don't get carried away, singles are needed to relieve the pressure.

[Gowza]

batsmen being able to take singles regularly also indicates that they're in and comfortable.

[Gowza]

good over, 2 singles and a couple of runs to add.

[al-Sagar]

raqibul and mominul bulding .....

rock into the 20s now. rock has no excuses, in these games he needs to score big hundreds. thats the only wat he can force his way back into the main team. somebody who has the label of test players should score at least 150 in these games.

imrul and faruq got out early. mominul is doing a decent job with rock. to follow anamul, chokka naeem, forhad and the bowlers sharukh, nazmul, saqlain and enamul

[Gowza]

another good over, 5 runs from it.

the same goes for imrul, they've both been given a lot of chances in the longer format, they have to score big at A team level to force the issue.

[Gowza]

that was a big over, 12 runs from it including a 4 and a 6. both these guys are in now so they should form a good partnership.

[al Furqaan]

The last 7-8 overs must have gone for about 40 runs or so!

Session is even stevens at 82-2. But these guys need to bat for another session ideally to try and reach 180-2 by tea. But I'll take 160-3 at this stage.

[al Furqaan]

Mominul is consistenly score 30+ in almost every innings, this means he has some baseline talent, at the very least. I really want the two Haques to get their Test caps v WI this home season.

Yeah i'm a little baffled about that to be honest considering the head coach said specifically that he would be playing HERE , i guess they decided late on that the pitch was more conducive to spin.

[WindieFan]

As for that first session, pretty disappointed by it, we started off so well and then let those two batsmen build a quick 50 partnership, Carlos Brathwaite seems to be just throwing spin at them instead of mixing it up a little!!, why not bowl one end pace and the other end spin? at least that would keep the bang batsmen on their toes,

Warrican's inexperience has been evident with those three overs he's bowled, and after a tight start the bowlers just gave away too many boundries, when they come out from lunch i wanna see Brathwaite and Cotterrell bowl a six over spell before the spinners come back, and give Blackwood some overs with his off-spin aswell, can't be any worse than Warrican right now.

At the moment if we can keep Bang under 300 i'd be very happy, can't see it though.

hopefully they both score a lot of runs this match and then they'll have a really good case to be selected.

yes a good start by your guys but then the banga's recovered well.

[Maysun]

That's the way, going on steadily! Keep this partnership going

[Gowza]

9 runs from that over, nearly at the 3 figure mark.

[riajul]

100's up ! BD-A 100/2 (36.4 ov, Rakibul Hasan 32(78); Mominul Haque 36(53);
