Congrats boys....weldone ..

Although I knew the result before the match....

[RazabQ]

You know, given our form in the two previous matches and Lanka's form I truly expected us to have a good chance to win. Nowadays if I don't think we can win, I don't bother staying up. We won it and won it in style. Not for us to bemoan a higher Required Run Rate thanks to D/L. Not for us to choke at the doorsteps. Finals beckon and inshallah this time we'll finish the job.

Breaking News: Bangladesh 135/5 - Whose Heart was beating to fast

Man, I found it hard to breath and needed water, could'nt move from my sit.

I closed Cricinfo, becuase suddenly a wicket falls, as soon as i DID that, Mashallah no more fall of wicket.

I am so proud for my country, now can we win against Pakistan and make Indian fans happy. as we already made pakistans fans happy by winning against India. I think it will be unfair not to win against Pakistan, Haha. And last and most important, Do it for bangladesh. The virus ashraful is out of the team. When he was there, man so many devision in the dressing room. now everyone is one and united.

[Dhakablues]

I would like to say to the Cricket fans out there,, like the great Lara said once,

" DID I (WE) NOT ENTERTAIN YOU?? "

[Seraphen]

This is beyond dreams. I do not have words to express my feelings. Hopefully this is the start of the rise of a new cricketing powerhouse.

Funnily enough Crapinfo ekhono amader ke point table e 3 no. e diye rakhse. xD
