omar out

[al Furqaan]

why did javed "offer no shot"

[PoorFan]

I like to stay on this board and enjoy everyone's comments.
And someone gone!!!!!!!!

[AsifTheManRahman]

why the hell do they not offer a freakin shot when the ball is in line?

[Imtiaz]

.6 Pathan to Javed Omar, OUT: first blood! good length delivery,
pitched in line with the off stump and swinging in, Omar offers no
shot and gets hit on the pad in front of the stumps, this time
umpire Lloyds is convinced, Pathan strikes early

18 balls, 8 runs. Whether it is Hannan Sarkar or not, the result is still the same. How many frights did we get in the past 10 minutes ? The technique against left arm in-swing is woefully inadequate.

[Beamer]

spoke to early..if you don't offer a shot, you are doomed. hannan knows all about it..and why the heck are we playing with five batsmen??

[AsifTheManRahman]

ok...nafis hit on the pad again...these blokes just cant play swing...arey bhai prothom ghontata tek na....

May be Javed dont understand the rule of LBW.

3.1 Khan to Nafis Iqbal, no run, Zaheer gets one to swing in, ball hits
the pad bit high, loud appeal turned down, looked close

[AsifTheManRahman]

looks like zaheer is straying down the leg side a lot

[al Furqaan]

dude...just put the damn bat in front of ur pads...while making sure ur legs are right in front of ur wicket. you wont get runs but u wont get freakin LBW...lets see what nafis and bashar can do

Either a front foot defence or standing half a yard out of the crease can curb this in-swing problem

[Beamer]

not that easy furqan..you gotta worry about slips as well.

[vv_sunil]

nafees is showing confident today.
if he play calm, he can score runs

[AsifTheManRahman]

ok nafis is hitting a lot...he should cool down...these guys have no control over their hittiing capabilities

[rassel]

He was getting hit on the pad on every ball, so should expect something like that to happen. Anyway, we are still inside of the first hour to be extinct. Another questions is who will joins him in the next couple of overs.

now i think we can try ANYTHING...even send in tapash as an opener - i don't care - how bad can it be?

[al Furqaan]

ey ak ghonta thaklai holo...25 overs er pore 30-1 hole, kono oshobida nai

[AsifTheManRahman]

why does he poke at something outside the off?

[Beamer]

Pathan is a menace. he has great control over his stuff.

[PoorFan]

Bashar Should stay there for long today. It may help Nafis to be calm.

[AsifTheManRahman]

bashar coming into the lime light as i go back to my studies for the time being

[vv_sunil]

its good news for bangladesh that the moisture will not remain on pitch for a long time. the story would have been different if the play started at regular time.

[reyme]

Javed washed out, he should not be included in the next test...

[reyme]

Bring Rana as an opener, sick of Golla's failures, failed in the domestic too
