Yes Shafiul is a big disappointment with the bat I thought and know he is much better than he is.

for me aftab and ashraful was much much much more bigger disappointment as we all know AA is far far far better than shafiul is.

anyway i know what will ashraful do 2nd innings. he will play 43 ball 8 run knock and then get out in soft dismissal

[Huda]

Why was nzfan banned? how long?

[banglacricpagol]

the question now is....how much will nz pile tommorow..... they might bat for 2 sessions tommrow and give bd a target of 400 or something.... they will probably declare after tea..... bangladesh will have to survive all of 5th day

[chol_bd123]

BD should try to bowl really well tommorrow. THey have to get them out under 200 in the second innings if they wanna win!

Actually, I want Mushfiqur and Riyad to come higher, but I am not sure whether either can handle the new ball well, a requirement for #3. They could bat at 5 and 6, or perhaps even 4 and 5. Ashraful, Aftab, and Shakib should all bat lower than these two.

Shakib can stay at his place but Asfrafool d Aftab must bat after RIYAD

from NZ herald on Vettori about Riyad and Shakib's batting:

Vettori, while disappointed with New Zealand's bowling, praised Shakib and Mahmudullah. whose 145-run stand put real substance into Bangladesh's total.
"I was not surprised. I can't praise them enough. Mahmudullah is not your genuine No 8 batsmen. He can play and played very well today," Vettori said.
"They put away every bad ball and put us under pressure. We had no excuses. Our seamers need to execute better."
Mahmudullah is batting far too low at No 8, but will leave it to the coaches to decide whether he moves up the order.
"I'm not sure. It is on the coach's [Jamie Siddons] mind what to do but right now I'm very happy with the way the team are going."

they should bat at number 10 and 11. by then we already gave up hope. so all we need is just smack around and put some runs on the board, they love doing that.

Siddons was interviewed in the Dilmah Tea Party. I felt sorry for the bloke having to represent such a loser of the team. In the interview he said that he tries to get the batsmen to be more patient and wait for the bad balls but our A-hole batsmen tries to hit everything that comes in their path.
Nobody can blame Siddons for our batsmen's failures. He teaches them everything in practice and it is their job to execute the plan in the game.

YAAAAAAAAY, I'm a Test Cricketer now. This is my 1000th post

No need to feel sorry. He knew the team he is going to coach before he signed the contract. And for you, go and follow world no 1 Indian team.

That was a rotten way to get your thousandth post. I mean really, you couldn't wait to bash our team for one more post?

A small nick that did not carry. McCullum was sure to know it, but chose to pretend it to be a genuine catch. Shame on him. I used to be a fan of Richard Hadlee, Glenn Turner, Martin Crowe, etc., but I don't care about the current NZ players.

Agreed. Expected to see more class from him, based on his posting history.

[BASSMAN]

rashid latif did the same thing. I hope mccullum gets banned a few matches

You know, this could bite them. Shakib also pitches his deliveries in that area. Our other spinners are not as effective, but could become much more effective with such spots. I would be a lot more comfortable if the lead was less than 100. It will be difficult to chase 250+ on this wicket in the 4th inning.

We used the review for the wrong one. Shakib-re dhoira mair dite ichchha hoitachhe| He should have used it.

He is not to Latif's level yet, but McCullum is a much better actor. I see a bright future for him in acting on the field.

ami sure na je se racist. It is inconsistent with his prior behavior. However, even in the heat of the moment, one should not completely lose it, like he did.
