The weather looks pretty good, and the pitch is said to be an ideal for batting surface with that in mind, Bangladesh captain Khaled Mashud has chosen to
bat first after winning the toss there is a reported chance of thunderstorms later on, which will give the New Zealanders the jitters - they need full points from
this match - but at least by bowling first it gives them a chance to try and shorten the length of time on the field if they play rather well!

i can't reload after the Hannan dismissal

[Ehsan]

holly ****......Sanwar gone for 5...didn't expect much from him....he proves to be incapable of scoring...he must be dropped in the next match with Kenya and better take Ehsan instead of him.

[Ehsan]

Wt the hell bashar gone for a duck...get ready to face one more humiliating defeat....Ashraf needs some to stay with him man...

[Orpheus]

Looks like Ashraful found his position..... it's like India... Chinta nai .. Ekhono Tendulkar ase.....

I think Sanwar was brought up to 3 to help out Habibul... but very Sad tale... How many golden ducks is that for him??

Anyways, the future is playing right now.. If this partnership (ash & Kap) don't produce anything.. bd no future...

Sad thing for me is ....I am not enjoying the game. Atleast when I am watching at the club, I hear some hillarious comments!! But now I am following the text at cricinfo...not even audio commentaries... so a wicket loss seems painful!!! Damn school

[DOORBIN]

Today a Bangladeshi opener is playing a natural game. I am pleased to see young Ashraful in this form.

Expecting to see a Bangla half century today. Yes. Positively. Either Ashraful or Akram or someone else.

But a half century is on its way.
Oh yea

[Orpheus]

14.5 Oram to Mohammad Ashraful, one run, oh dear! a shocker from Cairns,
a fairly simple chance dropped, the trap it set at deep backward
square leg, Oram digs it in short, Ashraful hooks, skying it
straight out to him, running a few paces back, somehow fumbles it
and lets the batsman off

LIFE GIVEN - Dekhi ki kore

[James90]

Can you plz keep me updated nothing but this forum seems to be working

[DOORBIN]

A BANGLA HALF CENTURY.

BY YOUNG ASHRAFUL.

Half century on its way
Oh yea

[Ehsan]

Idiot Kapali gone for a foolinsh shot ...out for 9

[Ehsan]

first 50 from a bangladesh batsman in WC 2003.....young Ashraful at the last made it in 71 balls ...five 4s and one 6.

[Orpheus]

22.4 Cairns to Mohammad Ashraful, FOUR, loose ball and Ashraful punishes
it, short and wide outside off stump, slashed away over cover,
races to the boundary and Ashraful reaches his maiden ODI half
century off 71 balls, 5x4, 1x6

DUITA life paise..cairns thike.....Please..make him pay...

As predicted by Doorbin
In the city of Darwin..............


=========================
The real Bangla game is on
OSTAD GHOSHONA KORLO JOKHON
=========================

[Ehsan]

here comes 100 for Bangladesh 101/4 (26.5 ov)

[DOORBIN]

One game of cricket is good enough
If that one game is like this ONE.
Akram on one end and Ashraful on the other
It is a BANGLA TOOFAN

[Orpheus]

aren't you the same doorbin
from the city of dustbin
predicted that bd would win
3 games excludin
a bitter fighting
against the Australians???

hmmm I guess I am not a POET or in slang term Pot Head aka rappers...

Doorbin bhai, I am just kidding.... Keep me awake for this game...

[samia]

or did BD just score 154 with ashraful scoring BD's first half century in this WC

[Tehsin]

Ash 56
Rafique 42*
Pilot 35*

Last wicket partnership of 70. This was a DREAM.

[Sham]

This is what happens when you bat 50 overs. I am over the damn moon. We almost got to 200! Atlast, something to cheer about. Well done to Ash and especially to Pilot and Rafique at the end.

[James90]

Fastastic work from the boys. Experience and keeping a cool head really helps. Obviously Sumon had neither....do we have the bowlers to make a game of it?

[Zobair]

Good question Master Stedman! I believe....you shall witness more alert bowling and fielding this time around....plus...the Kiwis packed in an extra pacer at the expense of a batsman!!!...so lets see
