I know. I am commenting on Shewag's. Most of the cricket followers would and does feel the same (including you).
 
Tendu is still the best. Hands down. Without him I don't know what will Ind do.
 
I think the real-life rankings go SA, India, Australia, England.
 
Those who don't rate Sachin, in my view they are just too biased. Man! A guy can't score so many runs in Mohallah Cricket, and this guy has scored them in International Cricket so he has my respect without any doubt. And he surely is among the greats of his era, but not the greatest. Because in my view there is no such thing as greatest in game of cricket.
 
Catch dropped....Zaheer gets a life...!!!
 
I think the tail will wag for Indians and they'll end up close to 300.
 
BD fan.............well done.................good bowling by bangla
Hope sehwag realises he should not let his tongue loose ever again

Afridi_fan................Are you calling sachin atailender????? :( ;-)
 
Sehwag has this habit of opening his mouth. In the past if I remember correctly he said that its easy to score a double ton in ODI against the minnows or something like that and now this. Nothing new from him at all.

Just kidding matey............thats why I added the second smiley
 
8th wicket goes down, great catch at silly point! I really would be quite concerned about leaving half our batting order at home when we tour!
 
Excellent catch by Rakibul. Now they should bring in everyone. Ishant once said who is Sakib Al Hasan way after he became #1 in ODIs to Mashrafe at KKR. (deliberately)

why ?
 
I think we can get away with resting a couple of bowlers, but we need to have lots of runs on the board, leaving the captain and the form player at home seems a bit unwise off the back of our latest heavy defeat. not actually sure who would captain?

Cook for test.

Once upon a time BD use to bring off form players (opponents) into form. Now Bd is starting to end careers of great batsmen. Dravid-UV. We are learning to walk. Soon we will run. I hope I will see them doing sprints.

end careers ? :))

scoring or not , just dosen count against bangla !
 
Apart from Strauss and Collingwood everyone is a few tests away from being dropped and/or not captain material. I hate to say it but the ECB need to swallow their pride and reinstate Pietersen as vice captain, the only player who is experienced enough to take the reins in the absence of Strauss, and has proven that he is adept at the job in the past. Of course that is too risky a political decision and will never be taken, but he'd be better than Cook.

England have relatively good bench strength though.

However, those are the form guys, so a bit dangerous to play without them. Cook and Bell can be good, but are also inconsistent. And KP is woefully out of form.
 
Light offered and taken.

Last over a plumb not given. That would have been Shakib's fifer. Ind 213/8. Stumps Day 1.
 
I just read that some BD-FAN thinks that Bangla has started to end the career of players like Yuvi and Dravid. :))) :)))
 
India can still get 300 here if the last two tailenders stick around with sachin.

May be to you. All well and done.

At least "Shakib is over-rated" statements won't show up now for a while.

Shahadat's yorker was a beauty to Dravid. I have never seen his middle stump uprooted and off-stumped knocked back.

Don't forget to send a thank you note to the umpire as well for not giving the plumb.
 
Good fightback by Bangla espcially after india got off to a very good start in the game.
 
IMO India should declare now............. Bangla are just an ordinary side... :69: :69: :69:

If they lose this game, a shake up will be in order. :)
 
BD have done well today but let us keep for another day any speculations of the ever-lasting impacts this game will have on the history of mankind.

Shakib is still over rated as a world class all rounder , my opinion hasnt changed about him ..hes an alright spinner & lower order batsmen at best .

Dravid has been bowled on quite a few occasions & this was just a full length ball with no movement

ok there was a plumb one not given ? sorry about that , you had a good day , dont ruin it over one wrong decision though

BD fan even if bangla win this game, all we will see is lots of b0ll0cking by fans,critics,administrators and a few effigies burnt , but no shake-up will happen ( unless you consider dhoni coming back for 2nd test a shake-up ;-) )

veeru??

4-52 is ok with an econ of 2.00 against the vaunted indian batting lineup...what is shane warne? merely decent? how about ordinary?

Excellent stuff Jusarrived.

How does it feel, the World #1 team getting their rear handed to by an ordinary not World Class alrounder, Minnow infact whose stats are not even counted? :)

Lucky Tendu saved Ind from complete humiliation. Not that it didn't happen before in ODIs with the same opponent.

You must be feeling really good. :14: :14:

Who had the audicity to uproot Dravid The Wall's middle stump and knock back the off stump as well? I need to pay tribute the that bowler. I have been following cricket way before Dravid started his career. Please let me know.
 
this is going to be a close test match...if Sachin scores a hundred India might get close to 275-300...which would be respectable...and i dont see Bangladesh scoring 400...so i guess this will go down to the wire...good start for Bangladesh
 
Bangladesh's best hope is a draw, no way is India batting going to collapse twice and theres a bit of swing at this venue so all batsmen are likely to struggle a bit if that stays throughout the game. Still, Bangladesh have done themselves proud and have shut up Sehwag for now.

It clearly swung away late, was a pretty decent ball.

I agree. But I have hope. A session at a time. The best players of spins had a hard time playing Shakib in Day1. I wonder what will happen in day three or day four?
 
BTW BD-fan who was plumb LBW in the last over... Ishant or Tendu? I couldn't watch.

ishant... tendulkar was dropped by 3 fielders who were within 5-6 feet of the ball

It was Ishant.
Also, if its taking turn it will be Bangladesh batting last unless they put up 600 which is unlikely.
 
Shakib is an ok spinner? Right. So how does it feel to see your batsmen hopping all over the crease to an ok spinner? Shakib is statistically the best spinner in Test cricket right now. I was slammed for suggesting this a few months ago because he got his wickets against New Zealand and West Indies B or because that was a fluke performance. But now he has ripped open the best spin-playing team in the World and will add yet another 5-fer to his short career tomorrow. Well he would've had a 5-fer already if the umpire did his job right.

it's like pakistan bowler bowl very well but the fielders sometime dissapoint

them. that should've been taken. and that LBW me sitting home and

watching it said it was out defeniltely hitting leg stmp and hawk eye suggested it would hit middel and leg
 
i guess that ball dropped where none of the fielders could reach although they tried...Bangladesh needs to get those two wkts very early they shudnt let India cross 240

nah the pitch is ok but it will turn during the first session simply because of the moisture avaliable...

yup man that was hilarious, sehwags statement backfired on india lol
 
It is good that Bangla boys fired up,Indian batsmen were too complacent.Thank God we have 4 days left.but it looks like there will be 30 overs lost every day :13:
 
dont take bangla easy,If they bat well and get a 150 lead it can become a very good match.

arent you getting excited little too early here ?
& the fact that you still hung upon that ODI win 3 years back , really shows the high expectations you have from your team .

our batsmen have lost their wickets to mediocre bowlers in the past & we have lost to ordinary teams in the past too , even if somehow you manage to beat us , Bangla wont be considered a good side , but only that India would have lost to a ordinary side ...Bangla is a ordinary side , which had good day , anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded !
 
Great stuff by bangla. But they need to bat well and get 100 lead and then they can pressurise India.

every bowler playing his first test against us looks world class , even Udal looked good against us
 
This is why i cant stand bangla & their fans , can you imagine how these guys would have behave if their side actually starts winnings matches ?

Would Shakib do a Moyo?

Similar situation, India 213/8 Tendu with Ishant batting. I wonder if Shakib will have the same field setting as Moyo?
