Nah, can't say anything about Pakistan.

 

[Ahson8]

Should be over by lunch

Don't think so. Pro'lly by tea

 

[Square Drive]

There is no news from the ground regarding the start of play. Fog has played its role in the first four days and we don't have any updates whether fog is going to delay the start of today's play as well.

Wouldn't it be kinda nice to see Gul take a hatrick and we win by an innings? In like 20 mins?

Atleast I would get more work done tonight.

Delay start due to fog/bad lighting

 

[Square Drive]

9.25: It's a foggy morning as usual and the umpires are in discussion. What it means is play will definitely not start on time. So, sorry folks. We all have to wait. Hope the umpires can confirm something soon.

Isam sends me this from the Daily Kaler Kantho (bangla newspaper): Tamim Iqbal said before the series began that Saeed Ajmal would be the major threat. He didn't face a single ball from him."

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Bring on the spin. Spin to win!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

should have started the proceedings almface:

 

[Justcrazy]

I hope these two do not bat till lunch...... I dread to think pakistan chasing 100 ..... and satisfied with a draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

Cheema bowling well here

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 11 runs with 5 wickets remaining

 

[Areesh]

Come on Pakistan. Take a wicket here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Maiden.

 

[Justcrazy]

I wonder which bowler has bowled most maidens in Test and ODI cricket??? Anyone?

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

come on .. take a Wicket

 

[Zeeraq]

Edged again

 

[AmmarAshraf]

[Justcrazy]

I have having a feeling that Pakistan might not be able to break this partnership, like something simillar in first innings.

 

[Zeeraq]

Ajmal replacing Cheema

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Ajmal on

 

[Justcrazy]

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...orderby=maidens;template=results;type=bowling

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...orderby=maidens;template=results;type=bowling

Thanks..... so I guess its the bowlers who have played more matches.... have more maidens..

 

[pakistanbest]

Scores are level

 

[Zeeraq]

Scores Level

 

[cynical]

need to break the partnership ASAP

 

[Justcrazy]

Haddle 185 maidens from 115 matches.... I guess he is the best..... But of course it was a different era.

 

[Mehr]

needs a wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

Again , like first innings it's a matter of 1 wicket, and all will roll over.

 

[Justcrazy]

should be rested..... get on...... it's a 5th day pitch

 

[Asif321]

Ilyas is in the Town !!

 

[Zeeraq]

Ajmal haven't been bowling that well in this Test.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh lead by 3 runs..... No innings win possible now

 

[Areesh]

No wicket till now.

 

[Justcrazy]

I think BD have batted better, in this test, they have learned from 1st test.

 

[pakistanbest]

Doesn't Mohammed Akram sound like Sylvester Stallone, yo Adrian

 

[Justcrazy]

A draw would be a win for BD here, and it's possible considering pakistan inability to finish things off recently.

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Good job Nasir you got your 50. Now throw away your wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan must strike before lunch here, Lead should not be allowed to swell too much.

 

[Mehr]

Good job Nasir you got your 50. Now throw away your wicket.

lool

 

[imshally81]

9 runz lead

 

[Justcrazy]

should be rested here

 

[Areesh]

It looks like Pakistani bowling doesn't look that dangerous as it was looking before. Why???
