russel bhai...enamul gets to keep 40% of the money. the rest of it is distributed among players. i guess they're doing it so the team feels like they're playing together. when we become really professional, we wont need this anymore.

Oh ok, that makes sense. Heard Mashrafe is not fit. Hope he can play in the ODIs.

[PoorFan]

66.4 Hondo to Javed Omar, two runs, on leg stump, turns it to long leg
and run a 2nd risky run, if throw would be in target, Javed was in
trouble

This Javed is nothing but a foolish!!

[Spitfire_x86]

Now we need to accelerate a bit. At least 2 runs/over from now till lunch

[nasim]

what happened to cricinfo??

[shaad]

Cricinfo is just slow. Chigumbura bowled a maiden.

[RazabQ]

dude no risk until after lunch break...
a series win is a series win

111/0 end of 69. after 11 over new ball could be taken...

Reason: ball was missing

[Haradhon]

I am happy with what I'm seeing, except that BD should accelarate after 8 overs.

[shaad]

I'm prefectly fine with a match draw and series win. No need to rush a la Spitfire.

[Haradhon]

If Javed and Nafis last until lunch BD need to change the batting order, and bring in a hard-hitting batter with Bashar! We are looking for 5+ run rate

[atheist]

bhaijanera ekta information den...

paltalk e ki live commentry shunte paabo? aar group er naamta... kon group e jabo.. "cricket"?


cricinfo poshaitese na...

thnx a lot

[reza_15]

If javed and nafis keep going like this up to 180 or more , i think we'll definitely win

[shovon13]

group name: live cricket

yes live commentry shunte paben.

[Haradhon]

Javed and Nafis are playing like Modassar Nazar, the slowest opener

[mzia]

Hondo's ball is better, in line and swing is there...trying to reverse..

I think we should not worry about hitting right now. We should conserve everything till the last 40 overs or so. Nafis and Javed are both capable of hitting if required. In fact hitting is an easier task in comparison to patience.

Jon paner biroti.....

[little_master]

RRR=3.46 (76 overs to go for 263)
is it possibble to win?

[shovon13]

thats the end of first hour of play. things should go easier from now on for our batsmen.

the next thing we need to watch out for is the second new ball.

[russel_fresno]

I'm pefectly fine with a 1-1 series draw, but a drawing match where we had very good chance of winning is totally unacceptable.

Drinks called. 14 runs came from first 14 overs of today. We've had enough of defensive playing. Now they should start playing natural game (I meant natural, not creating shots from senseless swinging of bat).

[shovon13]

hahahahah...joss bolsen russel bhai.

[Haradhon]

JO and Nafis should be given some good tips during the Drinks break. I am praying that the new ball does not cause a collapse. Otherwise a draw is very much achievable, and a win ...

[Spitfire_x86]

FOUR byes!
