^^ I was gonna post that line !

He probably thought this is T20 world cup !!

[Rabz]

We have Rokibul and Naeem on the crease.
Not to worry fellows, the wicket will be in tact but we might not score anything more than 10 runs in next hour and half.

What target would the Bangladesh A team feel happy to defend?

as big as possible. but to be more specific, in the first innings neither team crossed 200 so i would say if they could get a lead of 250 they'd be happy, but 300+ would be much safer.

[shivfan]

I think so too, Gowza....

By the way, is this a FC match?

[Night_wolf]

No this wont be classed as FC match because of Sagicor HP is an academy team.

Few BCB members made comment on the way our batsmen got out playing rush shot in first innings........

Now Rokibul and Naeem showing them how to "Block" Block" Block"

But why cant they take risk free singles. Don't they know how to ?

He is trying to stay in the crease that's very good but the problem is he is not trying to score runs and he is getting out at 20s or 30s . Unless he score runs how can i say those are good innings?

[M.H.Rubel]

Bangladesh A finished day two of their four-day match against the West Indies High Performance Centre team 140 runs ahead on Monday.
By close of play at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, the national second string team were 88-3 in their second innings with skipper Raqibul Hasan unbeaten on 21 and Naeem Islam 13 not out.
Resuming their first innings on 14 without loss, the tourists were found wanting against the guile of left-arm spinner Enamul Haque Jr, who picked up a fantastic haul of seven for 45.
They were dismissed for 147 in 43.5 overs

at the rate these guys are batting they will have to bat the entire day just score another 100 runs, leaving just 3 sessions to try and get 10 wickets. terrible batting strategy snatching a draw from the jaws of victory!

I think they will bat till lunch for another 50 to 70 runs without loosing any wicket. Then accelerated after lunch and declare before Tea with 280+ runs lead.

[scoilaheez]

In theory I dont mind the defensive showing. But in reality, if you are a batsmen who has had to play 60 dot balls, it shows that you cant rotate the strike that well and have been bogged down. Good on them for not throwing it away following that.

But mominul scored at 27 off 26, the best batsmen tend to score at a higher rate. Hope Anamul comes in and gets good support, not liking how he is batting so low in the order.

[Jadukor]

The scoring rate of Naeem would have been acceptable back in the days of Gavaskar or Boycott but not in present day cricket. As an experienced international player who has played against world's top bowlers, he is not supposed to get bogged down like this Against academy bowlers and crawl to a decent score. Test cricket is played at a much faster pace now which is good for the game because it allows bowlers to have 3-4 sessions to bowl opposition out.

sounds like a good plan, in theory at least.

[WindieFan]

Well what can i say? terrible batting performances from our lads, and i think the lack of experience in the top six reared it's ugly head, Fletcher has played the most Fc games out of that lot and managed to get himself a 50, but the others just flopped badly, for some reason the second most experienced batter in the squad (Lesporis) or got 97 in the last game isn't playing, so that put the pressure on Kyle Hope to perform again and it just didn't turn out that way,

Also Barcley and Blackwood haven't got a lot of Fc experience, so coming up against a bloke who has taken a 10fer in test cricket was always gonna be a tough task, Cariah in the top six too has been poor,

The bowlers done ok but i'd have liked to have seen a few more wickets before close, they did bog down the two batters big time though, at one point there was four or five maidens in a row, and with the lead only being 140 anything can happen now, three quick wickets for 20 runs and suddenly it's a different ball game, this first session today could be key to the whole game i think.

[al Furqaan]

Rock hits a 6 this morning! 100 up.

103-3

[al Furqaan]

23 runs in 8 overs this morning...taking odd singles here and there now.

[al Furqaan]

partnership now worth 54

[WindieFan]

Permaul strikes and it's 117/4 , Hasan goes for 35, really when i look at the bowling figures it's quite clear who the senior guys are, Warrican and Cariah have barely played FC cricket and it's shown while Permaul who is a star for our A-team aswell as Guyana has been tight and has got some vital wickets, lets see what happens now we've made the breakthrough.

[al Furqaan]

Anamul off the mark with a 4...

[al Furqaan]

Naeem with back to back 4s now

[al Furqaan]

132-4 at drinks...lead of 184

need to get a total of 250 and a lead of 300 to be safe
