With the begining of the new year Bangladesh might want to forget their past and focus on their future which is slipping from their hand.

We are just few hours away from the begining of the third match of TVS Cup. Lets see wt gift our team gives us in the occasion of the new year.

Here are the probable Squads for today's match.

Tareq is bowling some crap deliveries. Short and wides all around.

Shubho · #4 April 14, 2003, 04:07 AM

What rubbish. Now we don't even have a decent bowling attack. I can't believe we're this bad.

**Nasif** · #5 April 14, 2003, 04:13 AM

at least rafiq got a wicket

Shubho · #6 April 14, 2003, 04:20 AM

Am I supposed to be happy about that? The run rate's at 7 an over. This is pathetic. We're so goddamn weak in every department of the game. Where's the improvement?

Ehsan · #7 April 14, 2003, 05:02 AM

At the moment the score is 177/2 and the run rate is 5.97.

Looks like we gonna lose badly and I think all of my predictions are coming true now.

**Nasif** · #8 April 14, 2003, 05:15 AM

Rafiq got another.

We used to bowl ok, but today its just plain lame. No one can bowl. Our captain stunk up the room today.

DOORBIN · #9 April 14, 2003, 06:06 AM

Our bowlers have done a good job in the last 10-15 overs. I hope they continue to dominate for the last few overs.

But overall, SA has created a big score. Do we have the confidence to produce a fight?

James90 · #10 April 14, 2003, 06:12 AM

No!!!

James90 · #11 April 14, 2003, 06:22 AM

Tareq to bowl the last over

shahid · #12 April 14, 2003, 06:52 AM

SA are now 294/3 in 50 ov.

Can we beat them ?

I think we can.

Ehsan · #13 April 14, 2003, 06:55 AM

Don't sleep Shahid (peace)...our batsman don't have the gutts to chase such a high target. The maximum our team can do will be 240, not more than that.

DOORBIN · #14 April 14, 2003, 07:35 AM

Oh yeah
MAZAA AA GAYA

James90 · #15 April 14, 2003, 07:39 AM

Golla was playing well until he took the advise from shahid to fish outside off

So starts the downfall

James90 · #16 April 14, 2003, 07:40 AM

4.5 Ntini to Habibul Bashar, no run, short of a length, rising delivery from Ntini, and Habibul has a lazy waft at it straight off, not even getting close to the delivery - shoddy shot off your first ball

DOORBIN · #17 April 14, 2003, 07:59 AM

The tigers are really chasing .......

Oh yeah
This is exactly the way to play cricket

DOORBIN hit the chat

DOORBIN · #19 April 14, 2003, 08:08 AM

I mean another half century

COMING SOON ON THIS SCREEN!!!!

shishir · #20 April 14, 2003, 08:10 AM

69/1 after 11.2 over.

tremendous start for BD.

DOORBIN · #21 April 14, 2003, 09:21 AM

Sham · #22 April 14, 2003, 09:25 AM

Good for him! Ashraful needs to get his confidence back and I think this half-century will do him a world of good because this was just the sort of innings he needed to play.

Zobair · #23 April 14, 2003, 09:38 AM

ashraful played really well today...though I wish he would go on...hopefully he won't turn into a bashar. The resistence so far has been dour and dogged...the batsmen have not thrown their wickets away...trying to build some sort of a partnership...if they keep at it they will come good one of these days Godwilling!

the score right now: 121/4

Sham · #24 April 14, 2003, 09:41 AM

Yeah, the attitude today has been very encouraging. Ashraful and Kapali played out 12 overs for 29. Not bad. Akram and Kapali are now doing more of the same. This is what we need. If we can play 50 overs today, I'll be happy, however many we get.

Sham · #25 April 14, 2003, 09:58 AM

Two in one over! 141 for 6 now after 37 overs. Doesn't look like we will play out 50 today either. Oh well, atleast its better than 77.

Where is Shahid? We are getting thrashed by a team that is 10 times worse than Nepal. I wonder what he has to say about that. Wasn't this game supposed to be a stroll in the park for us?
