Match thread: Bangladesh A Team vs West Indies Four Day Match September 22, 2012 (9:30 AM BDT | 3:30 AM GMT) - September 25, 2012 (5:30 PM B

Brathwaite strikes!!.. good to see the captain take some responsibility!!..(unlike our current one in the test team lol) and it's paid off, him and Permaul are the two most senior bowlers and like i said it's showing in this game, looks like we're close to the tail now so lets see what happens.

score 134/5

[Naimul_Hd]

Sensing a collapse here !

Need to score quickly now. Lead is only 186 with 5 wickets in hand.

[Rifat H]

Need to take the lead close to 250 at least

[WindieFan]

six down at lunch!!.. permaul got another one and the score is 149/6

Good session for us tbh, 61/3 is probably as good as we could have hoped for, now they are gonna have to fight hard to clean up the tail quick, new ball due in four overs so expect another burst from cotterrell shortly.

[al Furqaan]

hopefully they can get a lead of 250 and defend it. all the time in the world for a result here.

It all depends on Fletcher and Hope really, if they are in the mood then i doubt 250 would be that daunting, they go quickly though then even 200 might be a tough task .

[Naimul_Hd]

7 down now.
150/7

Why can't we play sensible innings ? Either we slog at every single ball or block every f single ball. Is it too hard to rotate your strike ? Who says to hit boundary when you can take single run now and then.

[WindieFan]

152/7 now Permaul strikes straight after lunch and thats his fourth wicket now.

this pitch seems to be a tough one to bat on. hard to tell though.

[al Furqaan]

Enamul adding some valuable runs here.

he did decent in BPL and here too, we might see him in national colors soon....

WARNING: Too much exposure to this type of batters and their alleged batting will make you hate the game.

[al Furqaan]

target is 239

[Naimul_Hd]

Ki labh hoilo snail type batting kore ???

[WindieFan]

Well Cotterrell came back on and done exactly what i felt he could do, took the new ball and claimed two vital wickets in one over again, then Warrican finished it off, Bang 186 all out, must say it's a very good fight back from the lads after going 35 overs without a wickets towards the end of play yesterday and at 88/3 bang were on target for a big score, but they've gone and took 98/7 today which is more than decent,

So the chase is 238 to win, gives us a chance and gives Bang something decent to defend, i'm not that confident considering what happened in the first innings but like i said if Hope and Fletcher turn it on i think we'll get there, but we'll need the likes of Barcley and Blackwood to chip in with some 30s at least,

Really this match reminds me of the A-game we played against your team late last year HERE , a certain Sunil Narine made his A-team debut after stunning performances at the champions league and in our one day competition, also Shannon Gabriel was playing who is another prospect that has gone on to play for the test team.

Conventional wisdom suggests that if you manage to stay on the wicket, the runs will come. Those wise men and women however, never considered "international players" like Rokibul, Nayeem and of course, Mohammad Nazimuddin, not to mention great "test class" batsmen like Khondokar Mohammad Rajin Saleh Alam before them or similarly gifted guys like Myshukur Rahman Riyal to come in the not too distant future.

These voluntarily sightless guys actually premeditate blocks irrespective of the type of delivery, get bogged down and then before inevitably getting out themselves, get at least 2 of their partners out. Putting runs on the board is a concept they're way too brilliant to understand. To them, cricket isn't a sport where runs matter, but about their own survival through perception management amongst those powerful BCB men with similar awareness of cricket.

[al Furqaan]

Nazmul being too expensive...we don't have many runs on the board to defend we should bring Saqlain on.

[Sohel]

There's a great chance we'll lose this unless Enam does something amazing again.

looks the pitch is a typical spin friendly one (or the WI can't play quality spin). it appeared all of Enam's first innings wickets came from catches by the bat-pad men.

[shivfan]

Well done to Permaul, taking 4-44 to dismiss the Bangla A team for 186, with two wickets each for Cotterrell, Carlos and Warrican....

I have no doubts about the bowlers on this side - some of them are already world-class. But the batting looks very brittle, and a serious reflection of the West Indies over the past decade. Chasing a difficult target of 239, they've already lost the wicket of Griffith for one....

[al Furqaan]

Saqlain gets the danger man Fletcher with a wicket maiden...202 needed still.

Time for the SLAs to get into business.

[Roni_uk]

Where are you guys following this match?

[M.H.Rubel]

Good game going on.
W I H P 114/4 to a target of 239.
