following 5 should return:

enamul jr (razzaq)
mehrab jr (nayeem)
shahadat (rasel)
mahbubul robin (najmul)
mushfiq rahim(shamsur rahman shuvo)

what do u think?

mushy shouldn't be sent back after the tests, he's really the only option for a keeper batsman atm, sagir might be an ok keeper (don't even know if he is or not) but he's not good enough with the bat. the others i agree with being sent back, would have preferred shuvo over razzak though, otherwise i agree.

yeah not sure if they went with the team, i would think stand-by just means they'll be called up and flown over if there is an injury, i'd say they're in Bangladesh....

Yes, I saw in ittefaq report; 5 reserve players are also travelling with the team, but don't know if they are for ODI or reserve for the test team to cover injuries.

Daily Amadershomoy says possible 1st test eleven will play today, as many of us thought.

Antora · #59 July 3, 2009, 06:19 AM

I am looking forward to this match

for some reason it feels like its beeen years since Bangladesh has played a test. Anyway I hope Bangladesh play good in this practice match and very excited to see how captain Mortaza does xD

বাংলাদেশ বাংলাদেশ বাংলাদেশ ftw xD

100 is just a number that statisticians (Rajesh like) has put as a milestone. Sometimes works as a motivational tool (Sachin). 95 is as good as 105 innings just 10 short. With the current squad we don't need to focus on 100s. We need time in the middle, patient innings. 100s will come eventually. 3/4 knocks of 70+ would take use 350+ in first innings. That is 4 session plus. Hunting as a pack, building partnership that is what is needed. Tamim, Junaid, Mehrab, Shakib, Mushi all has good knocks. People with lots of talent and no brains sometimes needs a reminder. In cricket, dropping from the squad has made wonders as such players (Ganguly). I want Riyad also in the team.

nizzle · #61 July 3, 2009, 06:59 AM

i was speaking to enamul haque today on facebook and he was with mushy! - they both seem up for it ! - hopefully both of them can perform and the rest of the team of course

Well said, why its so hard to realize for Tamim and Ash, others seems at least has some degree of intention.

Nadim · #63 July 3, 2009, 07:51 AM

Is there any commentary link to follow the match?

yaseer · #64 July 3, 2009, 07:55 AM

Live scorecard pawa jabe naki kono site theke? Cricinfo to hopeful mone hoche na.

zimfan · #65 July 3, 2009, 08:17 AM

i think this series is a great chance for bangladesh to chalk up some victories against one of the weaker test nations

only problem is that Gayle and Chanderpaul stand in the way

Nafi · #66 July 3, 2009, 08:30 AM

Live scorecard???

it's not just about the number, it's about being able to play a long innings and scoring runs while doing so, ash is really the only player in the squad who has shown that capability multiple times in test cricket. not saying they can't do it but they haven't shown it so far and ashraful has, that would make it hard for the selectors to drop ashraful even if he hasn't been performing.

I believe WI has turned a corner and much more improved team. I would be happy enough if BD puts up a strong fight. I am talking Test, of course.

Abid_Khan · #69 July 3, 2009, 08:39 AM

So when does this game start? How many hours left? It's July 4 here in Australia in 20 minutes..

The match will start in 20 minutes.

Rabz · #71 July 3, 2009, 09:06 AM

So, the match started yet? cricinfo doesnt say much...

india-WI match delayed by rain... are we coping the same weather??/

WIFAN · #72 July 3, 2009, 09:09 AM

So far no news I'm afraid, the broadcasting team that usually do A team matches and regional matches are in St Lucia at the ODI.

I will see what I can do as far as score updates is concerned though.

*AsifTheManRahman* · #73 July 3, 2009, 09:17 AM

Great, thanks WIFAN. The adrenaline has just begun to seep through...

WIFAN · #74 July 3, 2009, 09:27 AM

A Bajan radio station are trying to get updates, will post the score as soon as it comes.
