I hope that BD can play full 50 overs and put 250 on the board.

ReckmyBack · #3 June 25, 2005, 07:06 PM

Bangladesh got less percentage of winning the toss according to the all nations . Pitch looks good and Bangladesh have to fight atleast rather just to think to finish the game as early as possible like Saturday .

Hope is not good enough just have faith . Player like Rafique and Mashrafe doing nothing almost .

England in final push

England probable: Marcus Trescothick, Andrew Strauss, Vikram Solanki, Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen, Geraint Jones, Ashley Giles, Chris Tremlett, Darren Gough, Simon Jones.

Vaughan and Harmison will be rested for this match. Simon Jones is, most probably, going to replace Jon Lewis.

Headingly has a greentop pitch which usually favours seamers. So, we may see Tapash coming back for this match.

What is the pitch conditions gonna be like ??

Do we need to include two spinners or go witht he usual Masri, Nazmul, Tapsh, Aftab and Rafiq ??

It seems like besides Masri all our bowlers are completely worthless.....may be play 10 batsman/part time bowlers with Masri....

Some grass on the pitch , bowl will move early on get few early wickets would be essential . A great pitch for Right Arm Medium bowlers if they take the advantage of the Leeds pitch early on .

ReckmyBack · #9 June 25, 2005, 07:56 PM

Ashraful needs to be careful in this match , He has to play sensibly as England already got their homework on him , But the innings like yesterday against Aussies will be very good for Ashraful . So , one more fifty by him ......... also Aftab can have some runs as well then it's possible to have a respectable total on the board to fight atleast .

SMHasan · #10 June 25, 2005, 08:39 PM

ash shud play his natural game, hammering again, at da same time he has to b sensible(quite tough though) as well. bowlers shud b more hard working n determined to keep da ball in da right area.

Match thread is supposed to start by a MOD/Admin, right?

habfreak · #12 June 25, 2005, 10:46 PM

When we beat the aussies, the whole team contributed, that's what is gonna have to happen. Just a century from one batsman or 5 wickets by a bowler won't do! I don't expect a century from everyone, but do what u can! Players like Pilot, rafiq, Mashrafee are capable of 20-30 each...and then the seamers are gonna have to be a lot more consistant with their line and length. Lastly, Bashar if by some miracle u win the toss, please don't bat first. From what i hear, Harmison was not that happy about what happend last time and the morning pitch might turn him into a wounded lion.

wasim_admirer · #13 June 25, 2005, 11:25 PM

Ashraful can do whatever he wants whether it be attacking through out or watchful through out.

Because he too was on 58 and played 40 more deliveries but adding little but before that he was attacking and was scoring quickly.

I don't mind if he doesn't play any shot for 50 deliveries because at least he can stay in the wicket but everyone else has been shocking.

Aftab needs to bat at no. 3 as he is very weak against spin.

kalimdor · #14 June 26, 2005, 12:29 AM

I think its very important to win toss.. if u we win toss and field first and bolwled them up within 220-250 we have very good chance to win this match.. let see wat happens... we can just wait nd see nothing else..
GO BANGLADESH

We can't afford to finish the match in 4 and half hours you know , which even includes the Lunch too . We have get 250+ , if we can't we shouldn't be playing cricket anymore . Players have to play from their heart today . Just like do or die .

ReckmyBack · #17 June 26, 2005, 03:18 AM

On the same pitch if England batting first then they make 391 and we bat bat first we make 139 . how funny it's !!!!!!!!!!!

mahmoodh · #18 June 26, 2005, 03:28 AM

NO Baisha- please. he got 3 wickets after his name in the match we won against Aussies but he was the most expensive. In the next match baisha alone gave 87 runs in 7 overs! So he should have sent back home. When Ashraf added 18 runs from a Lee over, Ponting did not give any more chance to Lee. Basher has no depth in his captaincy and tried Basher like a 'Orbachin' . Supporters in England should buy a ticket for Baisha to return home if the team manager does not.

ReckmyBack · #19 June 26, 2005, 04:05 AM

Looks like "Tapash Baishya" is gonna play , those 3 wickets very important . We have think about our batting ..... what's going on ? We can't even win the toss as Bangladesh got less percentage of winning the toss according to the all cricket nations . Just don't finish the match in 3 hours today atleast .

Here are the teams :

England : Marcus Trescothick, Andrew Strauss, Vikram Solanki, Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen, Geraint Jones, Ashley Giles, Chris Tremlett, Darren Gough, Simon Jones.

Bangladesh : Javed Omar, Shahriar Nafees, Tushar Imran, Mohammad Ashraful, Habibul Bashar (capt), Aftab Ahmed, Mohammad Rafique, Khaled Mashud (wk), Mashrafe Mortaza, Tapash Baisya, Nazmul Hossain
