Will Afridi play Mohammad Shahzad?

[MHRAM]

This pathetic rain has already killed whatever hype I had

I can't get over the fact that a drizzle, yes a drizzle ruined the match. Please don't tell me it wasn't a drizzle. I have been gone outside regularly this evening, and there was nothing but slight drizzle

[aklemalp]

And why is mahmudullah listed as the captain and wicket keeper of his side?

This is definitely an error

[Cricket4All]

It's likely that this match will get abandoned as well.

[Rifat]

Kevon Cooper has always been deadly in BPL.

[MHRAM]

Its still a freaking drizzle. Nothing more

[MHRAM]

As per forecast the rain is supposed to ease off now.

[Cricket4All]

Match delayed - Toss delayed due to Rain

its foretasted to rain until Tuesday morning..doesn't look good for first week of bpl

[MHRAM]

Are they expecting us to believe that this light dizzle will deprive us from 2 back to back matches?

U cant play cricket until it stops..too risky for the players on the field

[MHRAM]

the covers are coming off

[MHRAM]

YES YES NO RAIN RAIN

NENGTA HOYE NACHMU EKTU

[Cricket4All]

This "Sheena Chauhan" chick is so much better than Pamela.

[Nadim]

Not much to watch in this game other than SS and Pinak G(who is very unlikely to play tho)

but SS and Pinak would some stylish opening pair to watch...

[Cricket4All]

This BPL 2016 is so important for Soumya to get back to form. I really hope he does well in this edition of BPL. So that we can play both him and Imrul in LOI leg of NZ series.

[MHRAM]

I feel pity for those in the stands.

[aklemalp]

This BPL is important for many players on the fringe who are eager to get back into the mix of things at the National level. BD needs T20 specialists...this is the only time where they can be noticed.

Make it count, you know yourselves.

[Rifat]

^^Alok Kapali, can he make this opportunity count? Abdul Majid, can he keep up the good work?

[Rifat]

It could be very costly, but BCB should invest in rooftops for SBNS.... Roofttops should keep the rain away from the pitch. like a Dome structured rooftop

[aklemalp]

^^If a player say hit one of the rafters..12 runs.

First of all, its not possible to create a dome structure in SBNS, atleast trust the opinion of a civil engineering student

Also, even if it was possible to create a dome while constructing a new stadium, it would cost around 15-20 million USD alone and the floodlights will always have to be on which would mean that particular venue can't be used for tests AT ALL.

Its not cost effective. Bangladesh hasn't really struggled with rain curtailed matches as much as one would think, but when it comes to depression and cyclones nothing could have been done.

[Al_Baseerah]

What the heck is going on? Didnt rain stop like 45 mins ago? What on earth are they doing? Pathetic

[MHRAM]

Whats also worse is that the folks at CI aren't keeping us updated.
