this'll surely prove our team's grit. lets see how much we've improved.

Cricket46 · #4 January 17, 2005, 09:05 PM

Does anyone know if the match starts early today?

sunniath · #5 January 17, 2005, 09:18 PM

we should play carefully unitl tea.if we have enough wickets left after tea,only then we should try to win the match.

islam · #6 January 17, 2005, 09:39 PM

No thats not the way to go...
Block the first hour, don't lose any wickets, then go for the slong until tea and bring it home after tea

Folks, it does not cost to dream: Century by either Javed or Nafis, and then one century by Ash or Saleh or Bashar. And BD wins with 5 overs remaining!

kalosada · #8 January 17, 2005, 10:19 PM

if they play for a draw, they will win the match at the end, I beleive

How many wkt ?

Haradhon · #10 January 17, 2005, 10:25 PM

Dav asked everyone to play for a draw; however, Rafiq, Masri and Tapash will eventually bring us the win.

I totally agree with that. Playing for a draw means play defensively until lunch break today and keep the wickets in hand and then we will win surely unless a very very stupid works from the batsman come in

Haradhon · #12 January 17, 2005, 10:26 PM

Shujan: With two wickets on hand (Enam and Tapash)

kalosada · #13 January 17, 2005, 10:29 PM

I have the exactly the same feeling. They should try not to loose any wkt before lunch. Then Bashar can prompt Rafiq or Masrafee to play some strokes if the ball is not new to determine the correct approch for the game. Dunno what his feeling or stategy..

It seems that crackinfo is still having technical problems. .*sigh* Does anyone know exactly how they do their ball by ball commentary? Do they just watch ESPN Star on TV?

Anyhow, I just hope JO and NI can survive the first 10 - 15 overs of the day, otherwise I fear we may witness another horrible collapse.

shovon13 · #15 January 17, 2005, 10:32 PM

i dont think we should promote rafiq or masri to top order just to increase the run rate. rrr is around 3. we dont need to hit hard. we just need to play sensible cricket. besides, we have enough attacking batsmen in bashar, ash and aftab. rajin can play shots too. (its the new rajin).

shovon13 · #16 January 17, 2005, 10:35 PM

first over has passed. bangladesh 99/0

275 more runs from 89 overs.

kalosada · #17 January 17, 2005, 10:37 PM

u r right, but I was thinking that way to lessen up the pressure to the genuine batsmen... still a long way to go...
We know our performance once we start messing up..

shovon13 · #19 January 17, 2005, 10:42 PM

lol true. but i'm hoping this time bd has matured enough to not fall into a collapse all of a sudden, and has learned to deal with the pressure.

latest score: still 99/0

Looks like they're following the same strategy as yesterday.. that's good!

russel_fresno · #21 January 17, 2005, 10:46 PM

bangladesh opening partnership has a consistent record of being the slowest

fab · #22 January 17, 2005, 10:47 PM

Well, it's either they are slow, or they get out quickly.. I know which I'd prefer.

We will see how good it is. If we score 40 runs in the first session, then we will have almost no chance of winning the match.

1 run in 20 minutes and 4.3 overs.
