Anyone knows if Mashrafe could bowl 10 overs with his usual action and run up, or he is still faking 'recovery'?

Mash catches up on fitness
The Daily Star, February 6, 2011

It was hard to believe that Mashrafe Bin Mortaza was playing his first match since recovering from a knee injury after the way he dived to take a sharp catch at mid-wicket yesterday.

He was at his best to take this brilliant catch to dismiss Khaled Mashud off Rajat Bhatia during the mouth-watering Abahani-Mohammedan Premier League clash at the Fatullah Cricket Stadium. And earlier he grasped another sharp catch at slip to send Shoaib Malik back to the pavilion. There was hardly any sign of discomfort while he was taking the two catches.

But most importantly, the pace spearhead bowled ten overs with a good rhythm, although he conceded 55 runs and captured the important wicket of Shamsur Rahman. Initially he looked rusty and lacked pace but gradually he got his tempo and bowled on a good line and length.

In the titanic clash, the focus was on the Narail Express as the paceman returned to competitive cricket after he was sidelined for a month and a half following a knee injury during a Premier League match at BKSP on December 21.

Mashrafe bowled six overs in the first spell and gave away 32 runs and then he bowled three overs in the second spell conceding 16 runs and one over in the third spell for six runs.

“I'm really delighted that I could play the full match without any trouble. I gave hundred per cent and there was no pain in my knee. I'm now more confident about my fitness,” said a confident Mashrafe.

He also dismissed the notion that he had lack of pace in his first spell. “I don't think so. I was a bit rusty initially but there were no short of pace. The pace was same as it was against Zimbabwe which was around 127-130kmph,” explained Mashrafe.

The leading paceman also said that everything would be okay if he can play one or two matches.

“It's not easy to bowl at ease after returning from injury but I felt comfortable today. I need some more matches. I concentrated on line and length today and only gave a few bouncers.

"In this kind of wicket I could try something different but I didn't do it as it was my first match after the injury,” he added.

Mashrafe was not ready to comment on the World Cup selection or his chances to play in the showpiece event. “Now my main focus is to get fully fit,” he said with a smile.

Shameful day in Dhanmondi

WHAT ABOUT THE MATCH?

Farcical doesn't begin to describe what happened at the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium yesterday. What was supposed to be the last Premier Cricket Super League game between Cricket Coaching School (CCS) became a scene of immense frustration as the match had to be called off due to, according to the league authorities, an 'unprepared' pitch.

It was miscommunication and incompetence of the highest order of the two BCB standing committees -- CCDM (Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis) and the grounds committee. A routine Premier League match could not take place due to what could easily be called utter negligence and a lack of responsibility among the committee members and officials.

It will make for funny reading but this was the scene when the two teams arrived a couple of hours before the toss. As the players tried to find the key to the dressing rooms, they saw the groundsmen sleeping in their rooms at 7 o'clock in the morning. After waking up, they were shocked to learn that a match was going to take place, that too a Premier League game. The confusion ended when the umpires and the match referee arrived and after that, the players had an endless wait for the groundsmen to try and prepare the wicket, a near impossible job, especially because it was uncovered from the night before and there was no communication between the powers-that-be and the Dhanmondi Cricket Stadium staff. The senior groundsman, who didn't want to be named, said that he got no message from anyone in the grounds committee.

"I didn't know there would be a game today (Saturday). I was at home and I rushed to the ground to see the DOHS and CCS players. Now I have to make something out of this wicket," he said while rolling and spraying water on the wicket. Clearly, the groundsmen were not to blame.

At around noon, match referee Hemayet Siddiky took the two captains -- Mehrab Hossain of Old DOHS and Nazmul Hossain Milon of CCS -- to the centre and it was decided then that since there is no provision in the by-laws for such an occurrence, the match can be called off. "It is not an act of God, so we cannot actually find any ambiguity to hold a game. There is no rain or anything as you can see," said the bemused official, requesting anonymity.

When asked about the incident, CCDM member secretary Iqbal Yousuf Chowdhury Niku said that the grounds committee was aware of the schedule.

"We gave the fixture to the grounds committee on January 31. They knew it very well. Two other matches were being played, so they are supposed to know that the third match will also be held," said Niku, who was reportedly seen threatening different officials from Fatullah.

CCDM coordinator spoke in the same tune that they let the grounds committee know in advance. "I went a bit late but the umpires looked at the pitch. They said it is fine now, but DOHS said they wouldn't play. We schedule the matches after consent from the grounds committee. We cannot decide where the matches will be played," he said, adding that the game will be held today in Fatullah.

But when contacted, the grounds manager did not receive the phone despite repeated attempts.

There are too many examples to pick from, if someone were to draw it as symbolic of Bangladesh cricket. But in a season marred by poor behaviour from players and team officials and below-average umpiring, it is perhaps an unprecedented conclusion.

HOW THE HELL ARE GROUNDSMEN UNINFORMED ABOUT THE SCHEDULE?

চতুর্থ হয়ে শেষ করল ডিওএইচএস

ক্রীড়া প্রতিবেদক : সিসিডিএম ও গ্রাউন্ডস কমিটির সমন্বয়হীনতার কারণে ডিওএইচএস ও সিসিএসের মধ্যকার সুপার লিগের ম্যাচটি পূর্বনির্ধারিত দিনে হয়নি। পুনর্নির্ধারিত সূচি অনুযায়ী গতকাল ফতুল্লায় অনুষ্ঠিত সেই ম্যাচে সিসিএসকে ৩ উইকেটে হারিয়ে চতুর্থ হয়ে প্রিমিয়ার লিগ শেষ করেছে ডিওএইচএস।

প্রথমে ব্যাট করতে নামা সিসিএস মাত্র ৭৫ রানে অল আউট হয়ে যায়। মাত্র ৯ রানে ৬ উইকেট নিয়ে সিসিএসের এ সর্বনাশ করেন ডিওএইচএসের পাকিস্তানি অফ স্পিনার রাশেদ হানিফ। জবাব দিতে নেমে ব্যাটিং বিপর্যয়ে পড়েছিল ডিওএইচএস। সে বিপর্যয় থেকেও দলকে উদ্ধার করেন রাশেদ। কম বাজেটের দল হয়েও ডিওএইচএসের এ সাফল্যে বড় অবদান অলরাউন্ডার ফরহাদ রেজার। মিডিয়াম পেস বোলিংয়ে ৩২ উইকেট নিয়ে প্রিমিয়ারে উইকেটশিকারির তালিকায় সবার ওপরে আছেন তিনিই।

What's Mominal Haque's overall performance? Cricket Archive only have him down as playing 5 matches but I'm sure it's more.

[Tiger Manc]

Well done Abahani by the way. I can't believe Gazi Tank choked though.

He scored 546 runs at average 67, 2 century and 3 fifties. Unfortunately, his team Victoria did not qualify for the superleague, otherwise he prolly could have scored 700-800 runs this season!

Roman vai,
Apparently (and unfortunately), BC is dominated by Hapani fans....they are not health conscious....what can we do?
Just pray that some of them will recover to full fitness in near future.
