Bangladesh v Sri Lanka | 2nd Test | Chittagong | 3-7 Dec 08

[pakistanbest]

mortaza strikes early with 2 quick wickets including Sangakarra

17/2

 

[IronMan2009]

Lankan batting is getting worse and worse. Even reliable Sanga is not scoring these days like he used to. Mahela and Samraweera will have to resurrect their innings once again.

 

[pakistanbest]

sri lanka bowling is killer but the batting is very fragile. expect Gul, Tanvir & Akhtar to run through it without much trouble

 

[pakistanbest]

25/2

will be great to see how lanka handle the spinners

 

[PlanetPakistan]

SL in a bit of trouble here

44/3

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Shakib doing a fine job again....certainly a rising star in world cricket

 

[minhasuz]

BD have been fighting really hard they deserve a test win.

 

[minhasuz]

I think if SL are kept under 300 and are bowled out on day 1 then BD might have a chance to win by getting lead in first inning but it would be difficult for them because Mendis is back

 

[IronMan2009]

Test match is all about winning sessions. They are consistently bowling well. Sakeb is an exciting addition to their bowling line up.

 

[wadrib]

BD have been fighting really hard they deserve a test win.

Ball is turning from the first day,It will be interesting to see how BD batsmans handle murali and mendis

 

[minhasuz]

^^BD seemed to handle Murali little bit but it would be really hard for them to handle Mendis

 

[minhasuz]

Dilshan seems to be in a T20 mood. Didn't see him playing it like that over here in Canada during those T20 matches.

 

[buddhika_s]

Sri Lanka scored 164 runs in 30 overs

 

[IronMan2009]

SL can safely declare now

 

[buddhika_s]

Dilshan 100 in 92 balls I think.

 

[imes]

Bangladesh, as more often than not, getting owned.

316/5.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangladesh have let a gr8 postion slip and are almost already looking at damage control on day 1!

 

[IronMan2009]

Dilshan simploy toyed with these bowlers. They look truly club level.

 

[On_the_up]

day 2,
and 2 wkts already for Bangladesh, Kapugadera out on 96 lbw to Shakib and Vaas out too.

 

[IronMan2009]

Fernando targetted Imrul's ass first ball Duly signalled no ball.

 

[minhasuz]

Ash needs to play a big innings over here

 

[minhasuz]

A wicket falls Junaid goes

Fernando to Junaid Siddique, OUT, I don't think Junaid even picked that up, Fernando gets it to swing in late and at a good pace from over the wicket, the ball heads for the base of the offstump bur Junaid's too late in getting his bat down to dig it out and the bails are splattered. He was clearly beaten for pace and he looked dazed as he walked back
Junaid Siddique b Fernando 28 (119m 89b 3x4 0x6) SR: 31.46

Why does Ashraful pwn Sri Lanka so hard? If he didnt have a good record against the Lankans, he'd definitely be dropped. This tour was very well timed. Now he'll spend another 5 years lolling around the Bangladeshi side, pushing them further down the barrel.

No Jamal, he will lulz ! )

 

[Khabri420]

Shakib scores a golden duck...seems like bangladesh will be starting their 2nd innings soon enough

If you had given that many chances to Kenya to play Test, Tikolo would have reached 3000 test runs by now.

 

[Xoib]

Mendis outperforming Murali again.

 

[IronMan2009]

Expected. Mendis is going to outperform until all the batsmen come out with some strategy against him. I don't think that is realistic. Especially tailenders are going to be clueless against him even if Top order batsmen come up with a strategy. But Zaheer khan somehow made 34 at no.11 while facing 40 deliveries from mendis.

I don't believe in this theory of people will play him better one they solve his mystery. I see no mystery to him, his carrom ball will continue to bamboozle batsman this is because with the same action he can make it go straight as well make it deviate if Kumble could go on to take so many wickets then Mendis would aswell who I consider a better bowler then Anil

For some bowlers it applies. Mendis is one because of his freak action.
Till such times you can see cluster of wickets falling to him

yup he might not keep on picking them at mid-teens but I believe he would still end up with a sub-25 bowling avg which is still very very good.

 

[IronMan2009]

What a mental shot from Ashraful They have to drop him just for this shot.

 

[HuZi]

can i watch it online any links or something???

 

[Poison]

He thinks he's Kevin Pietersen.

 

[HuZi]

any link plz?? a bit of quality justin tv is **** man

 

[HuZi]

hat trick chance

 

[On_the_up]

Dilshan gets his 2nd century of the match, 104*

 

[IronMan2009]

SL wants to give Dilshan a chance to score 200 i think. Bangladesh is Pathetic.

 

[Amir]

Dilshan has to be one of teh most over-rated batsmen I ever seen. Looks very ugly to watch.

What about "The Great Unwatchable" Hashan Tillekeratne?

Hurry up and let Mendis bowl Mahela.

 

[Poison]

BD never seem to be that far behind, but they always get pwned in the end.

 

[Khabri420]

Sri Lanka should get declare, unless their batsmen are getting some batting practice out there. With a lead of 550+, I don't know how much more they want to score

They just like to torture Bangladesh. This is going to be their 12 test win over Bangladesh in 12 Tests.

 

[Khabri420]

Surprise, Surprise

 

[McBoom]

Lead is over 600, why isn't Mahela declaring now ? This is farcical !

 

[Random Aussie]

Declaration made, Bangladesh have lost both openers and need 596 more runs. )

Mendis.

Has 1 wicket so far for 31 wickets in his fourth Test at an average of 18.

 

[Random Aussie]

Mendis

Wicket number 2

Bang 3/32

 

[Random Aussie]

Mendis

Wicket number 3 - Ashraful

Bang 4/42

Can they survive today? 40 overs left.

 

[IronMan2009]

They are gong to lose by like 500 runs i think.

 

[buddhika_s]

Murali is pissed, he's still not brought in and Mendis is getting all the wickets.

 

[Random Aussie]

Poor Murali, he never gets to take cheap wickets against the minnows.

 

[buddhika_s]

Poor Murali, he never gets to take cheap wickets against the minnows.

I think he's had enough beside he has to take all those cheap wickets against England.

 

[Random Aussie]

Dilhara "has a slower ball" Fernando gets one.

5/52

 

[Random Aussie]

Some fight from the "Desh.

5/100

 

[Random Aussie]

Shakib Al Hassan dishing out some damage to Mendis - 18 runs from his past 2 overs.

Sri Lanka ever so slightly one dimensional in their bowling.

 

[Random Aussie]

Dilshan has gone beserk, 3 wickets in 3 overs and the Desh are 8/154, 470 runs behind.

 

[Random Aussie]

Solo update service here, Dilshan gets another and the Desh are going to lose by an epic margin.

 

[Random Aussie]

Dilshan gets 4, Bangladesh lose by 465 runs, the fifth worst defeat in terms of runs ever.

 

[Oxy]

Wow!

PATHETIC!

 

[Khabri420]

Excellent performance by Bangladesh!

 

[Amjid Javed]

I guess Dilshan might be in for a shout for man of the match
