261 to win

muddaser · #1 September 5, 2003, 04:12 AM

this is gonna be a tight game but if bangladesh take an early wicket the pressure will be on pakistan.

on the other hand a 50 run partnership and pakistan will be confident of a victory.

Will be extremely hard to score 200+.

muddaser · #3 September 5, 2003, 04:21 AM

how do you know, have you batted on that pitch.

when pakistan batted in the first innings the majority of the wickets were gifted to the bowlers.

so i cant see why 200+ isnt possible.

chinaman · #4 September 5, 2003, 04:23 AM

You'll learn soon...

Hannan Sarker just dropped a catch

chinaman · #6 September 5, 2003, 04:31 AM

Just givin the poor fella a chance. No big deal.

China I am afraid that was a big deal. Those damned drops in the slip keep BD from applying pressure. Same thing happened yesterday when Mahmud dropped one.

The BD batsmen gifted several wickets to Pakistan in this innings, I don't know when these guys are going to mature. Then you have a spilled catch and dubious lbws. I think the 261 target is not so bad given all of this. I liked the few runs that Tapash and Manju put up at the end, they should have slogged a few more.

But that dropped catch will cost us.

It already has....0/31 with Salman Butt on 23

rafiq · #9 September 5, 2003, 04:53 AM

manju finally got one after being hit for a 4 on every ball!@

rafiq · #10 September 5, 2003, 05:01 AM

another dropped catch off manju, this time bashar. how do these guys expect to win?

rafiq · #11 September 5, 2003, 05:15 AM

Bangladesh could have grabbed the initiative if they had held on to at least one of the 2 catches dropped. Pak going into tea at 50/2 would have to think about it a little bit. obviously if we don't get wickets soon after tea it will be too hard to catch up tomorrow. worst case is they will score freely and get the runs by lunch tomorrow.

but best case is rafique comes on soon after tea and makes some breakthroughs. and pls slip something in de silva's tea so he goes to sleep and doesn't have to return.

win or lose you have to take it sportingly.

anyway bangladesh deserved a win for the effort they have put in this series.

first win next will be a series victory against WI.
