This is the hard reality, sunil. You never know when to expect what.

[vv_sunil]

yeah, this practice match nothing proved good. nobody bowled exceptionally good, no good batting performance. not a satisfactory batting from hanan and ashraful. nafees, aftab, kapali, diman totally failed. the only bright part is the play of shimsur rahman

i think bangladesh have to work hard

overall it is do or die situation now

[fwullah]

The BCB XI tailenders could not survive the new ball attack of Oram and Franklin.

I only wish that our National tail enders would be able to resist and survive longer than the BCB XI.

[Tehsin]

nz already 75 for 1 after 17 overs. If I saw it right, they were at 47 for 1 after 14 overs. It could have been a typo. Shahadat bolwed Richardson lbw for a duck.

[fwullah]

Alamgir Kabir is being hammered by Sinclair and Astle

[Tehsin]

108 for 1 after 21. That's 33 runs from 4 overs. 50 more and NZ can declare and win this match.

[Rubu]

shahadat is doing ok among the bcb xi bowlers? can he replace tareq in test squad?

other than that: bcb xi er hatay hericane.

[Tehsin]

well, now it shows 23 overs, not 21. In any case, NZ has a 244 run lead already. Fleming could feel adventuous and declare within the next 50 runs or give his bats more pratice opportunity.

[BD Tigers]

Doesnt matter BCB XI win, loose or draw the match. The problem is they are giving Sinclair - their off form batsman - a hell of a confidence. That's not good. Astle is also getting good match practice. I hope they declare soon which they might not to get more batting practice.

[fwullah]

Is it lunch now?

[Ahmed_B]

At Lunch New Zealand 108/1 in 23 overs (Sinclair 61*, Astle 41*)

-BDkhela

[fwullah]

134/1 after 30

(test squad announced - look at the other thread)

[fwullah]

Alok Kapali now should take the ball in his hands and rip through the NZ top order.

[Sam]

146/1, 34 overs

OUT Batsman : (Richardson 0, Sinclair 71 RTD)

Not out Batsman : (Styris 6, Astle 57)

[fwullah]

Styris out after scoring 20
Astle on 71

[Sam]

175/2, 43 overs

OUT Batsman : (Richardson 0, Sinclair 71 RTD, Styris 20)

Not out Batsman : (Astle 71)

[Ahmed_B]

it seems NZ r gonna continue batting through the day.. just to have adequate practice before the Test.

[vv_sunil]

222/2

[fwullah]

NZ 222/2 after 50 Astle retired
Oram batting
Tea Break

[Ahmed_B]

Alamgir Kabir gave away 28 runs in his 4 overs!
his first innings figure was much better

he shud restrict the NZ's if he wants to impress the selectors to get him in the first 11 now.

[Ahmed_B]

OPS!!
amont the 4 overs he bowled.. he had one maiden over!!
that means 28 runs in 3 overs!!

the NZ batsmen annoyed on him for some reason??

[vv_sunil]

good batting practice by nz batsmen

there is some understanding between the teams regarding match practices before the match starts and nobody cares the result of the match. since nz batted twice in the match, they should respect the feelings of opposition and should give chance to get some batting practice. moreover, bcb xi have 3 test batsmen now. i hope, the board should send the message to stphen fleming

[vv_sunil]

244/2
