Well, at least Naeem is grinding it out when everyone else is falling all around him.
Making the WI HP bowlers look like Steyne and Morkel.

Maysun · #**102** September 22, 2012, 04:58 AM

So, all that hard work, gone for nothing.
He played out 23 overs for 30 runs.

for staying at the crease that long.

Maysun · #**105** September 22, 2012, 05:04 AM

Seems like we won't even get to 200

M.H.Rubel · #**106** September 22, 2012, 05:15 AM

Really poor batting by A team. All the batsman got start but none utilize it.
Should bat whole day at least.

Right we are all out for 199.

Rabz · #**109** September 22, 2012, 05:21 AM

The idiots can't even score 200 on their own ground.

This IS NOT a ground, this IS a minefield.

Well i did talk about how excited we are about Cotterrell but boy i didn't expect to see that from him today!!

, in our regional competition he'd have some brilliant spells which would get the crowd on their feet, really fiery and pacey stuff, but often he wouldn't get as many wickets during that period that he deserved, but today i guess it all clicked for him, many see him as Roach's long term partner for the senior side so no need to be too harsh on the bang batsmen, they won't have faced someone as quick as this kid too often, and he's a lefty aswell which makes it even more akward,

Anyway bang really done well to recover after losing two quick wickets and i really felt they would post at least 300 in this innings, but after lunch our guys seemed to come out a different team and we struck early by getting a run out which no doubt gave our lot a boost in confidence, after that it was tight over after tight over and that always builds pressure no matter what level you're playing at, and that pressure lead to wickets in the end,

To be fair if Cotterrell never had his spell you might have got up to at least 260 but thats the way the game goes, someone can be inspired and your innings is over in a few overs,

Hope our guys can build a decent lead but i won't be holding my breath just yet!!

May be that is the difference between a draw and a loss? (playing out overs) A few more runs would have been better of course but cannot fault him for wanting to stay at the crease longer than the others in a 4 day match. May be that is the reason we are still 185 ahead instead of 125?

Thanks for compliment but no 'ifs' or 'buts' please. The batsmen failed at home. This is not a minefield either. Plus no excuse for short of experience. Most have played in big games representing BD. The temperament is not there.

hoodlum · #**114** September 22, 2012, 06:31 AM

Great (!) batting performance by the A team filled with Anamul,Naeem,Imrul,Rokibul

Mominul looks to be in good touch. Only he deserves to be tried in the national team. Rest are overhyped.

Tiger444 · #**115** September 22, 2012, 07:57 AM

Still shows how our batsmen just don't have the mindset to play longer version matches. Their still either blocking, not rotating strike or hitting boundaries. Just shows how they probably didn't play enough longer version matches when they were younger and have the mindset of playing One Day matches. We can blame these players all we want, but we desperately need to schedule more longer version cricket at the school cricket level so that by the time these batsmen come in to the higher ranks, they can start having the right temperament.

Cotterell with 4-15, and two wickets each for Permaul and Warrican...the spinners bowled a lot, which is what makes Cotterrell's returns so much more impressive. He only bowled 9.1 overs.

He has a slingy action, left-handed, and can generate a lot of skiddy pace. On the downside, because of his action, he doesn't have much variation, but more than makes up for it with the pace of his deliveries.

He's ideal for cleaning up the tail....

al Furqaan · #**117** September 22, 2012, 04:45 PM

Hmm seems we've sunk to a new low...first getting owned by no name Indian domestic bowlers, and now Cotterell takes 4-15 and he doesn't even have a cricinfo page!

Rifat · #**118** September 22, 2012, 05:40 PM

It is great to organize matches so we can clearly see the difference between who we really are and who we think we are....

Why not who we really are is actually who we think we are?

so you are saying that we think too low of ourselves?

Rifat · #**121** September 22, 2012, 05:51 PM

I don't know why am I being so negative? Alhamdulillah, last year I thought the boys did decent in West Indies(Mominul and some one else shared a 300 run partnership and we put up a good fight in all matches) in West Indies. at least we should up to play We have had some success in many areas recently, it's just that sometimes things don't go your way, we have to accept that and move on.

tbf cotterrell is one WI fast bowler that they have high hopes for, former greats like andy roberts and curtly ambrose have spoken of him as to be a terrific prospect, so he might not have a cricinfo page but there must be something to his talent if he gets that sort of talk.

No Play today!

BD A shot out for 199
Hartal postpones 2nd day

Sports Reporter
Bangladesh A were bowled out for 199 runs on the first day of the four-day game against the West Indies High Performance team yesterday, as the visitors took full advantage of the home side's inexperience against pace bowling. In reply, the West Indies side finished the day on 14 for no loss.
The match, being played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, will witness an unusual break in proceedings as the second day of the four-day game has been postponed due to the countrywide hartal imposed by various Islamic Parties today. "Since we have two extra days after this match we thought it would be best to postpone today's play. We had a talk with the police and they said that they will not be able to provide adequate security for the players due to the hartal. We also talked to both the teams and the players agreed. Considering the circumstances, we decided not to take any risks," said BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury.

Don't agree with that accessment, having seen Cotterrell more than once his action isn't anywhere near as "slingy" as a Fidel Edwards or Malinga, so he's still capable of swinging the ball both ways, something i gather he's been working hard to perfect at the HPC, he also has good bouncers too, so to suggest he hasn't got variations just isn't true imo,

Anyway for those who ain't seen Cotterrell he takes wickets at 1:05 and 1:30 in THIS video.
