Day 1

Well, we can say that's an a$$ kick from the perspective of the bowlers. It's the same old Jayashuriya who had to point something out to the Srilankan selectors and the underdogs to point out something else.

My mood is still hopeful, Let's hope the Batsman do not get over excited.

Wrap up their innings by 350. Since Murali isnt there, BD should score 250-300.

This match should at least go to 4 days, I am hoping 5 days.

Good Luck.

Rajputro Bhai, you are too generous. SL should not go over 325 and their innings in second day shouldn't last more than 10-12 overs. If SL reaches 350+, then we have nothing but to feel sorry for BD bowlers. Remember only two tail enders are left. They probably would declare if the score was a bit high. I hope you are wrong.

You are right, BD should score around 300. Good Luck from me too.

Generous na bhai. Amra etobaar eto boro boro dhakka kheyechi je kichu predict korar aage khub bhoi laage. We always set generous goals for the teams, well below our expectations and their abilities and yet somehow they manage to beat that.
So, 350 is actually more than Rajputro bhai was 'allowed' to dream about.

(Wait till BD starts flunking again, you will see the backlash at me for praising the team. The general rule is, I am not allowed to praise Sumon or anyone who is playing well while they are at the crease. You'll get used to it after a while and may be even join this folks in their vicious attacks on me)

Generous na kipta?

350 seemed too much????

Try the reality check...373...

i am so ashamed.

To worse, bd is only 164 all out...

This is depressing.

Orpheus · #8 July 29, 2002, 12:56 PM

It's not only you who is ashamed, we all are ashamed.... Only if the Batsmen are ashamed and do something about it. But I don't think they have any shame, if they had they would wipe out this team having in mind that they are being degraded by NOT playing the best 11 in a test.

The funny thing is - It doesn't matter how strong or weak the opposition is. Bangladesh always manage to get around 150. It's like they planned it out. Today Shariar will be responsible, tomorrow anyone but shariar will play responsibly. If the top order batmen played well, freeday for the rest.

**Mahmood** · #9 July 29, 2002, 01:39 PM

Amar shotti e khub lozza lagchhe... This is not even A team...

We will probably lose test status soon due to failure to live up to the standard.

**Tehsin** · #10 July 29, 2002, 02:01 PM

Orpheus, my thoughts exactly.

Rajpatru bhai, STANDARD ? Our players make their own standards whether we like it or not.

**Mahmood** · #11 July 29, 2002, 02:13 PM

If Monju can bat over an hour, if Taposh and kapali can bat that good, no excuse for others. hell, lets play all 11 bowler team.

I dont have the words to express my anger....#%$#%###@
