Match Thread: Bangladesh Vs. Zimbabwe 2nd Match(Day 3)

tiger_man · #1 January 15, 2005, 09:05 PM

Hello everyone,

By now we have come to a point where its make or break for Bangladesh, having been down by 8 wickets and still trailing by 129. Questions now arises, can we win the test match??

In the last match thread, people have metioned various probabilities, some reckon zimbos have a greater chances of winning while others think match has a good chance of being draw,

dong forget there is still two more innings to go for both sides, so the tigers can evaded a defeat and look for draw instead, a victory would be a miracle at this point!

whatever may be the outcome, let us cheer for our team coz they need all the help they can get

The game just started. Goodluck BD. Luck... we need it badly!

al Furqaan · #5 January 15, 2005, 10:34 PM

every run now is crucial

AGC · #6 January 15, 2005, 10:34 PM

5 runs off the first over.

al Furqaan · #7 January 15, 2005, 10:34 PM

200 is the min...then good bowling should be there

AGC · #8 January 15, 2005, 10:35 PM

Hondo will bowl now...... scary

al Furqaan · #9 January 15, 2005, 10:36 PM

i aint scared of hondo

AGC · #10 January 15, 2005, 10:37 PM

64.2 Hondo to Mashrafe Mortaza, no run, full ball, drives it to mid-on,
Baisya run for a quick single, sent back, throw misses the stump,
other wise, Baisya would have gone

Phew!

these two need to be all rounders...so they can save us when we get into deep s**t

AGC · #13 January 15, 2005, 10:43 PM

Yeah. Looks pretty ok so far though. Hope they can keep it up.

Spitfire_x86 · #14 January 15, 2005, 10:49 PM

Going well so far 181/8, 67.4 overs

This match is not going beyond the 4th day. My guess Zim wil start 2nd innings with a 100 run lead. If we can get them all out within 250. We still need to score 350, which we had never done. With some miracle we get them out within 150. We still need 250+ to win. Without any miracle. the most likely outcome is a win for Zim -- series draw!

i like the way bangladesh is batting right now. these guys needs to be agressive specially masrafee. very pleased to see the crowd behind our team. which is not surprising very only thing consistant about bangladesh cricket team is that the support of the people which is always there. bad news is mohammed rafique is injured. still he performed very good with the bat and also bowled very good too. i am almost sure that rafique will also bowl in the second innins because he is not a quitter. as long as he feels like he can help the team he will play. if rafique just keeps scores in check like he did last innins and enamul takes wickets we still have good chance. but we need to see the ashraful magic in the second innins.

Aftab and ash should learn from mashr and tapash how to play test

AGC · #18 January 15, 2005, 11:06 PM

so far so good

al Furqaan · #19 January 15, 2005, 11:15 PM

4 partnership now worth 30

shuvo · #20 January 15, 2005, 11:16 PM

So far very very goooooood

al Furqaan · #21 January 15, 2005, 11:17 PM

everyone has left since the india series...when the team sucked everyone was here...now 2 wins in less than month gets everyone gone...more posts about negative things...i think BC members like to have a losing team, hehe

allrounder · #22 January 15, 2005, 11:17 PM

any idea how long zim will bat in second innings?

saved by dropped catches today.

al Furqaan · #23 January 15, 2005, 11:18 PM

they should slowly put up 220, then just hit outta the park that will really get ZIM

AGC · #24 January 15, 2005, 11:24 PM

Masri is gone...

Haradhon · #25 January 15, 2005, 11:25 PM

We need some miracle from our bowlers to win this match
