bd will loose badly..!!

[Rajowana]

lol negative!!!!!!why be so negative.lol

[fan_frm_the_uk]

Like most of the other ppl I am bit dissapointed seeing no win for us so far. However, we probably can agree on the change of self believing the players are showing. Still too early to comment but they r bit more consistent than before. I think the key for getting better is keep pushing for it( obviously talent and skill required as well). Aussies were a good team, they pushed themselves they became one of the best, they were still hungry so now they are the best, i dont see them stopping . Obviously the management knows things times better than me. its just my personal thought.

Then your "khobor" is overdue.

I don't understand why you have to put the Board logos in a match thread.

"His temperature has come down but he is still in the hospital, so there is no chance to see him in the third one-day match," Faruque Ahmed, the chief selector, confirmed to the Dhaka-based The Daily Star.


According to Faruq there is no hope for Ashraful to play in the third Odi...but when it comes to Bashar he wants Ashraful in his team...look at his comment



Habibul Bashar, the Bangladesh captain, explained why the management didn't ask for a replacement. "There is a very slim chance for Ashraful to play the match but we wanted to monitor his condition till tomorrow and that was the reason we didn't ask for any replacement for him," he said. "If Ashraful feels good than definitely he will play the match because he is an important player in the team."

Should they even risk playing Ash? I mean the test is right around the corner.
Confession, don't know much about Farhad, but according Cricinfo stat, he seems like a decent batsman.

But the main plus would be, Ash will get his rest. And hopefully be 100% ready for the test. Would love to see, at his best, what Ash does in test.

[babubangla]

I hope all players put away their MP3 players and pick up a good ol' radio set to monitor the Warning signals.

And I Hope both teams are safely continuing their training sessions in one of these magnificent Indoor Facilities!!

I think the main plus would be Bashar would have a sixth bowler (seamer).

Ash's rest is very essential for our test team. We don't want 50% fit players (any players).

Good luck to Bd team. Hope we win the last one.

Yeah... but his bowling stat doesn't look that great. Seems a lil on the expensive side. But then again, like I said, don't know much about him.

News from the Indian camp - RP Singh and Robin Uthappa may replace Zaheer Khan and Dinesh Mongia for this match, if it happens to take place.
