Match Thread: Bangladesh vs Kenya, 3rd ODI, Nairobi, August 15, 2006 - Page 2

I was wondering why the medium-pace of Aftab wasn't tried at all..He is not a bad part-timer..Has 5 wicket haul too.Specially, in the 2nd ODI when Odoyo was finding the fence easily we could have give him a try.Anyways, looking for a better show from our batsmen this time.Can't help getting frustrated to see that Ash-Foooool is still playing recklessly and without any responsibility whereas new-comer like Mushfique is not getting any chance!Sad!

Tokyobreeze · #27 August 14, 2006, 03:25 AM

And...I hope we get to bat first in the third ODI!Would be really nice if someone can come up with a 100+ score...How much is the possibility of getting a 300+ total?...Hope I am not day-dreaming!

day dreaming?? who knows..
for the record, we havent crossed even 250 batting first four occasions in Zim, so i cant share your enthusiam.
also look at the second match.. we made a mess of chasing 185 batting second, when it was supposed to favour the batsmen...

so lets see what happens..

that's what cricinfo was saying on Tikolo's out. They were saying he had a thick edge and inspite he got out. Can anyone who watched verify that?

Then that would negate rafique's out.

I watched, there was hardly any edge, I could not see and Asif Karim was convinced that there was no edge.

CricInfo 2nd ODI match Bulletin:
Clearly feeling left out of the party, Mortaza struck in his first over, the 12th of the innings, with some help from umpire Subhash Modi who unfortunately adjudged Tikolo leg before despite evidence of a thick edge onto the pads. Tikolo played forward to a ball that came in and looked up in surprise to see the throaty appeal from bowler and fielders upheld.

Batting have been very low quality, fielding and bowling was less than average. Still we have won few mathces cos its the Zombies and the Kenyans. What we will do in the champions trophy?

Modi has already proven he's not the best of umpires. He also gave Rafique out on lbw that was clearly going outside off stump.

HB,
I know. I was just trying to let Latecut know that 2nd ODI wasn't a gift from Modi. he made bad calls against both teams. So eventually it evens out. We won on our own merit. However, it shouldn't have been this close from the beginning.

I loved what the NTV reporter had to report on our batting (especially on Ash, Aftab etc.).

Lets think it this way -

We win the toss and elect to bat.Aftab opens with Nafess.From the beginning Aftab get a go on bowlers and he survives 15 overs.Tushar replace Ash-Fool, that gives us one more wicket...Mushfique replaces Rajin and comes as number 6.This can probably get us a 300!!!

Well...I know considering the current condition and devastating batting performance we are showing these days, it's more like a dream.But, it's not long ago we did a 300+ score against Kenya.And, even if it might end up in a bad dream, I wanna go ahead.After all, People who don't have dreams, don't have much!

Tokyobreeze · #38 August 14, 2006, 12:08 PM

I don't think it would happen, but I would really love to see the following formation for the 3rd ODI -

1. Nafees
2. Aftab
3. Reza
4. Tushar
5. Saqib
6. Mushfiq
7. Pilot (No way, he is the captain)
8. Rafique
9. Razzaque
10. Rasel
11. Shahadat

LateCut · #39 August 14, 2006, 12:17 PM

Ashraful has been rewarded for his amazing batting. He will open the batting. What is the logic in this? Shahadat may also replace Razzak. I wish they get an additional batsman. Perhaps giving chance to Mushfique would have been more prudent. This game is min consquential and thus of little pressure. It is a perfect opportunity to give the younger playes some exposure.

Xavier · #40 August 14, 2006, 03:36 PM

I just bought the live-broadcast of the match... waiting for a well-fought game and a 3-0 for Bangladesh!

i think this was simply a result of over confidence and lack of respect for the opponents... BD players r certainly trying to things easily here and payed the price in Zim for that. they learned that even being the clear favourites u can loose a series due to arrogance, complicency and simply, stupidity.

never underestimate ur opponents, as they always say. Australia just got away with the in last BD tour and we probably also did in Kenya.

as far as Champions Trophy, i hope the boys pull up thier game in time and play some positive, good, winning cricket.

cuz honestly, among those qualifier opponents, only team we didnt beat is WI, and i believe we can beat them in an ODI. plus our performance against the bigger boys has been on the upward chart for the last few matches and would certainly love to keep that pace.

So dont raise ur eye brows if im sounding too enthusiat, but i think we all can certainly hope.

one more hour to go.....I am feeling sleepy.....but if I fall asleep I am not waking up before 12..........

BD_Ashraful · #50 August 15, 2006, 01:13 AM

Just heard ASHRAFUL is opening ? Yes, We might see sixes and fours flying in the first twenty over? If Nafess get out early. It would rain sixes and fours with Aftab. I Hope B'Desh wins the toss and bats
