We still have more than 24 hours to go. So let's make it birthday announcement thread for a while

[Spitfire_x86]

Does anybody know the exact match time and which channels are going to cover it? (in any country)

Congrates Spit! This will be the highest number of post thread. but may last only for a week.

Hey spitty... add an hour to EST and PST... because of daylight savings time, now when its 930am in bangladesh, it will be 2330pm EST...

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. It's 10:30PM CST. So, EST is 11:30PM.

Good thing that it starts on Saturday ...

I hope Australia gets batting first. Given the rainy weather, and the fatigue-factor, Mash and Rasel (fingers-crossed) may get a few early wickets to put them in the backfoot.

Last time I was this excited about a series, was the Test series in England. Praying that that's where the similarities end.

If this thread needs to be alive for a week, BD will need to take the match till 5th or 4th day. I hope this thread remain alive (without post match analysis) for a week. Good luck.

Spit..In the English version, you have the Aussies under Kenya Squad! Hope they play like the Kenyans though...

Spitty,
Most of the EST zone area have added an hour. So Sadi is technically also correct.

The difference between EST and PST is always 3 hours. (When they add and subtract Daylight savings)

EST + 1hour = CST,
CST + 1hour = MST,
MST + 1hour = PST

EST = Eastern
CST = Central
MST = Mountain
PST = Pacific.

So please change the EST to 23:30pm. The rest should be fine.

[Miraz]

Good Luck Bangladesh. We want to see our tigers are competing and pushing aussies as far as possible.

I also hope Bashar invites them for batting. Bashar is going to win the toss anyway. Allah jeno ore shubuddhi den.

Otherwise BD batting will collapse in the moisture affected field.

EST is now adjusted for DST

[Carte Blanche]

You can make it easier by writing EDT.

[Spitfire_x86]

I never understood why American people don't want to use GMT for universal events, while rest of the world has no problem with GMT

This DST is kinda confusing. In UK we also have DST(right now 1 hour ahead of GMT).So I think EDT would be better.

[Tasin]

Hi Spitfire_x86, could you add the date along side the ticking GMT clock (showing the CURRENT GMT) and have it 'ticking' also ?

The threads are opened more than 24 hours before the begining of the matches nowadays. So it is confusing to determine which days time the ticking clock is showing at any particular time someone view the thread.

Thanks.
