Nye is heading for a century...

Forget winning, let's hope we can pull a draw.

It is possible. And looks like they are going for it.

Golla just hit 3 4s in the 2nd over.

Bangladesh 1/29.....Golla gone for 14

Hey every one, I know some of you are watching this cricket match live, But I am just watching the update on the net.

Any way from the commentry so far I like the way guys are batting. Not chashing any wrong balls.

I think what Dav said was, forget about winning this game, just show me your tempo of batting from this match, cause 170 odd runs is nothing to score, if you are in One day mode. from 70 overs.

Any thoughts?

Bangladesh scored 91/2 in 30.3 overs requiring 139 runs to win in 40.3 overs with 8 wickets in hand.

Hannan Sarkar and Mohammad Ashraful are at the crease. Yesterday's hero Javed Omar and Habibul Bashar are the men out. The required run rate is around 3.3 / 3.5 and Bangladesh run rate is over 3.

My opinion is it is easier for the players - Hannan, Ashraful, Sanwar, Kapali, Pilot, Sujon, Rafique to go for the runs rather than survival. If Javed Omar and Habibul Bashar were there at the crease batting till the end of the day and were told to stay at the crease for the whole day (then it would have been possible), then a draw would have been more likely.

But not with the youngsters. They just don't have the patience to spend a whole day batting individually.

fwullah · #9 July 4, 2003, 11:08 PM

That's a good advice, where did Dave said that?

Looking on the individual performance, Javed Omar and Habibul Bashar could not finish their jobs which they started wonderfully by scoring 59 and 99 respectively in the first innings.

And just now Hannan Sarkar got out after scoring just 23. We really have got some big problem on our hands. So far, only one opener is performing in this tour and the other is just not performing.

fwullah · #10 July 4, 2003, 11:09 PM

Nonetheless, it was a good 71 run partnership inside 24 overs between Ashraful and Hannan.

The batting is getting better.lets hope its getting better

Piranha · #14 July 5, 2003, 12:18 AM

78 runs needed with 5 wickets remaining...I am getting very nervous.

I dont want to say anything - just in case i jinx the team. All i can say is: I am glued to the cricinfo live scoreboard.

End of over 53 (maiden) Bangladeshis 153/5 (RR: 2.89 RRR: 77/18 = 4.28)
MF Cleary 13-4-30-2 (3nb) - Albion Park End
Khaled Mashud 14* (19b 3x4) Alok Kapali 11* (56b 1x4)

tiger_2007 · #16 July 5, 2003, 12:31 AM

Ferguson to Khaled Mashud, five runs, lofted over mid wicketa good
return bails off, not out, but wait there's more, the keeper shies
at the bowler's end and misses and two overthrows there for the
taking

fwullah · #17 July 5, 2003, 12:31 AM

It seems that Alok Kapali is mighty nervous!

Kapali 11(61 balls)
Pilot 20(26 balls)

tiger_2007 · #18 July 5, 2003, 12:33 AM

Umpires say it is time for drinks !

I 'm hungry too. Please bring some food here.

cluster11 · #19 July 5, 2003, 12:42 AM

I think Kapali heard Fahmida and smashed couple of fours to get voer the nervousness .. lol! This is indeed turning out to be exciting. But we are still quite far from target. They have to guard wickets at least another 7/8 overs before going into slog mode. I doubt they can do that.

tiger_2007 · #20 July 5, 2003, 12:43 AM

Bangladeshis require another 54 runs with 5 wickets and 13.4 overs remaining

fwullah · #21 July 5, 2003, 12:53 AM

And look who is gone - Last Wicket: 177/6 (57.5 ov); Partnership: 43 runs, 13.3 overs, RR: 3.19
Khaled Mashud c b Ferguson 28 (34b 4x4 0x6) SR: 82.35

He's the experienced guy, he should have been at the crease helping out Kapali.

tiger_2007 · #22 July 5, 2003, 12:53 AM

232/7d & 183/6 (60.0/71 ov)

bangla_amar · #23 July 5, 2003, 12:59 AM

Damn! 38 runs, 55 balls, 4 wickets

I am getting optimistic!

That's a very bad sign....

bangla_amar · #24 July 5, 2003, 01:03 AM

Khaled Mahmud is probably the worst person to be in the crease now...

Totally out of form...

I hope he proves me wrong!

Piranha · #25 July 5, 2003, 01:10 AM

64.2 Magoffin to Khaled Mahmud, FOUR, awful looking hook shot, top edge and over everyone and down to the sight screen

64.3 Magoffin to Khaled Mahmud, FOUR, glorious looking cover drive

This guy is scaring me...
