Not before creaming Kapali for 10 runs in two balls.

44.4 Alok Kapali to Benkenstein, OUT:

KwaZulu-Natal 213/4, Partnership of 52
DM Benkenstein c Ehsanul Haque b Alok Kapali 35 (49b 2x4 1x6)
FB Lazarus 17* (30b) Alok Kapali 9.4-0-67-3 (2w)

44.3 Alok Kapali to Benkenstein, FOUR, through covers
44.2 Alok Kapali to Benkenstein, SIX, oooh great shot well hit over long
on
44.1 Alok Kapali to Benkenstein, no run, well bowled Benk`s blocks

Sham · #27 February 5, 2003, 10:40 AM

70 runs in 10 overs is too expensive in a one day match. Even though he took 3 wickets. Especially if you consider that Rafiq only gave 23 for his 10!

**Tehsin** · #28 February 5, 2003, 10:42 AM

. 6 4 W 3 L1
I thougth Pilot had more sense then this. However, Benky is a very good batsmen, good to see him out of the game.
260 is a good possibility. BD should use this chance to bat the 50 overs and not try to chase this total and get all out for 150. We need all the practice we can get.

Namibia won by 8 runs. Good for them.
W Indies 323/4 from 46.5 overs...

rafiq · #29 February 5, 2003, 10:42 AM

ok, we have watched many bangladesh bowling efforts go down the drain. what do you experts say should be the strategy in the last 5-10 overs - what bowlers to use, what fielding - what's pilot's best strategy accoding to our board experts?

it seems that our spin may pay some dividends regardless of SA wickets. by having 3 pacers, rafiq and kapali and then adding either ash or sanwar instead of ehsan, do you think that is the best team? both ash and sanwar are spinners.

**Tehsin** · #30 February 5, 2003, 10:46 AM

Has Pilot put every men on the boundary line ? You'll notice that they are gleefully going for the ones.

The bowling looks okay except Kapali needs to focus. A little more bite won't hurt.

Ash and Sanwar should come in for Seezan/Tusher/SUMON/Hannan.

**Tehsin** · #31 February 5, 2003, 10:48 AM

Tapashye fall hoi ... Tapash Lazarus er Lez a Roshi dise.

Sham · #32 February 5, 2003, 10:48 AM

I really think we should only use our seamers for the last ten overs. Keep a combination of overs between between Masri, Monju and Taposh. The spinners are easy pickings for these batsmen. Even if they bowl a few dot balls, they go for sixes as well. Just look at Kapali's 10th over, he gave away 14 runs! Thats too many. You will get hit around in the end overs, but 14 is too many. Might as well have the pacers give away their usual 8 or so. If Monju had bowled that over, he would not have given away more than 7 or 8 I am sure. But for some reason, Kapali gets to bowl 10, and Monju only 7 overs.

rafiq · #33 February 5, 2003, 10:49 AM

i don't know why sanwar didn't play in place of hannan/tushar/sumon in that order.

what happened to that bowler who got a bunch of our wickets in the first game - don't see him in the lineup - indian name

handle · #34 February 5, 2003, 10:50 AM

Thats because pilot is a stupid a**hole

Sham · #35 February 5, 2003, 10:50 AM

rafiq · #36 February 5, 2003, 10:51 AM

also, talha hasn't warmed up in sa. maybe he could have come in for manju to give him some practise.

**Tehsin** · #37 February 5, 2003, 10:55 AM

Should we play him in the last over or bring Manju back ? Neither have shown much promise in taking wickets. I would have played Manju for 49th and have Tapash finish.

How is Talha doing ? He missed a lot. Is he even with the team ?

Bodi is not playing this match (woohooo) - however the whole Bangladesh team is playing so you never know.

This decision to play Hannan, Seezan and Tushar and not Sanwar is mind boggling. Especially after his 72 in Namibia, which was our highest individual score. I mean, I can understand that they are trying to decide between Hannan and Seezan by resting Ash who is certain to play. But how can they take Tushar, who didn't score 72 in 5 innings combined in Namibia, ahead of Sanwar?

**Tehsin** · #39 February 5, 2003, 10:59 AM

Because - it has been decided that Tusher is a specialist one-day player. I swear, if some of you would pay some attention to BCB, you could have figured them out by now. Khek.

By the way, Sanwar is a specialist test/first class player. (don't ask)

**Tehsin** · #40 February 5, 2003, 11:00 AM

49.1 Mashrafe Mortaza to MacQueen, OUT: oooh well bolwed through block
whole cleaning off center & off stump

KwaZulu-Natal 245/6, Partnership of 19
RB MacQueen b Mashrafe Mortaza 6 (7b 0x4 0x6)
ELR Stewart 19* (12b 1x4) Mashrafe Mortaza 8.1-1-36-1 (1w 1nb)

Probably saved it for the last.

**Tehsin** · #41 February 5, 2003, 11:05 AM

Everyone (but Rafique) got wickets. That's a good thing. Also, they beat ,my prediction (260-275) so that's a triumph. will be a hard job to score 252. Don't think we can make it even with Bodi not playing today.

HAVE TO CHECK THOSE EXTRAS (24 today)

What say you - the wise BD fans ?

[Edited on 5-2-2003 by tehsin]

Sham · #42 February 5, 2003, 11:05 AM

Right now, I would say it is beyond Bangladesh. Especially if the top order stays true to form and collapses dramatically. If we can keep some wickets in hand, maybe we can get up there. Rokon, Sumon and Kapali need to play long innigs, and one from Hannan, Seezan and Tushar needs to score some runs.

handle · #43 February 5, 2003, 11:06 AM

This wise BD fan predicts 153 all out.

**Tehsin** · #44 February 5, 2003, 11:11 AM

We have a 153 all out ... anyone wiser ?

(I simply refuse to learn and am ready for another heartbreak - I'll go for 200+)

rafiq · #45 February 5, 2003, 11:11 AM

BD gave up follwing runs for each 10 overs:

1-10: 36 v. good
11-20- 60 change the first 2 bowlers!!
21-30- 46 ok
31-40- 39 v good
41-50: 70 have a better strategy!!

rafiq · #46 February 5, 2003, 11:13 AM

why not, what do i have to lose??

here is chance for bangladesh to redeem themselves. they can last 50 overs and chase 5 an over if they really wanted to. in fact, as a test team they must prove themselves right here, right now. it's all or nothing.

Sham · #47 February 5, 2003, 11:22 AM

the respect you have gained on the board in the last months.

See if you predict 152, like Handle, and BD scores 252, everyone is too happy to notice. But if you predict 252 and BD scores 152, people get angry and need to point fingers. Who do they choose to point their fingers at? The blighter that jinxed us by predicting 252. In this case, thats right, its you Rafiq bhai.

Ask Tehsin bhai, he has received considerable abuse for his jinxing abilities in the past.

[Edited on 5-2-2003 by Sham]

rafiq · #48 February 5, 2003, 11:25 AM

178 all out in 43.3 overs

**Tehsin** · #49 February 5, 2003, 11:28 AM

Maybe I do ... Should I give it a shot ? It's just a practice match, muhahahahah.

By the way, chat's open.

**Tehsin** · #50 February 5, 2003, 11:45 AM

Players are coming out.
252 to win. Huge target considering our batting vulnerability.
