Which other side is capable of the same???? Thats why we shouldnt be so cocky re: BD

Remember if BD played us, they will be playing us with all our problems, issues & weaknesses....not Aus!
 
What a pathetic collapse by Bangladesh 153/1 to 216 all out is really a joke!
 
Tamim must be seething after scoring half the teams score and setting what should have been a very good platform for his team!
 
Now everyone can say that they improved team now after excellent show with the bat. :))
 
I reckon we could enforce the follow-on after a good night's sleep, and really drive the final nail into the coffin of the Bangladesh challenge. Bangladesh will be despondent!!
 
Oxy I agree we suck at Test cricket at the moment. But if he can get cocky when Tamim was batting why can't we get back at him when "The Improved Bangladesh" loses 10 wickets in a session.

We can lose 10 till drinks, I am also well aware of the fact. But BD better than Pakistan in tests. Oh well :))

TBH I think we would dismantle their SLA bowling attack.
 
Bd have a chance against Pakistan in ODI/T20 cricket but if Aamer and Asif play, even with a brittle Pak batting line, I wouldn't give Bangladesh a chance in tests.
 
with the pitch wearing, and the weather forecast as it is, the follow-on may be both team's best chance of winning!

Another ridiclous comment yet again.
 
I think he meant the people saying Bangladesh can beat Pakistan in tests are ridiculous.

Aye, all they have to do is get through Tamim. Strausser may wish to test his bowlers with two hard days in the field, which they will probably face in Australia at some point.
 
Yeah, even they have a slim chance in ODIs and T20Is but in Test cricket even they won 1 or 2 session but not Test.

They all wanted to congratulate tamim, so they got quickly out, and gone back to the pavilions to congrate tamim :)))
 
Where art thou Equinox...don't be shy...

Heroic innings by Shakib :))) :)))
 
I'm very proud of our boys at last they came back into their own form !!
 
As I was saying earlier that cricket is played with 11 players.

Agreed BD have one damn good player in Tamim and probably a half in Shakib, but thats all they are. And a team comprising of one and half men doesn't win tests.

But some posters like our very respectable Equinox won't understand and will tell you that BD are equal and better than Pakistan in tests.

I hope Equinox you have learnt your lesson, we are pathetic in tests at this point of time but we are not as pathetic that one and a half men team can beat us in tests. In limited overs it is a total different ball game though.
 
Ok that was appalling. Probably our worst batting performance this year. However we do not deserve to follow-on. Look at Shahadat's dismissal to see what I mean. And why are you guys celebrating? This doesn't prove or disprove the claims about Pakistan in Test cricket.

LOL, it's still called self PWNAGE :)))
 
Lowest scores in the last 12 months:
Bangladesh: 216

Pakistan: 117

:))) :))) :)))

Bangladesh has no scores under 200 in the last 12 months.

Nuff said. I can expect some roasting in the Indian forum but I don't know why you guys are getting happy.

don';t really think you can have many complaints about following on after that performance. Tamim 108, Kayes 35, next best score 11? so much for dogged fighting team spirit.

Yes, exactly, the less said the better about these meowing tigers. It's not exactly a matter of us getting happy, but the fact that you ASK FOR IT. Well today's performance should put you back in your place for a little while before you make another comeback. :akhtar
 
http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine...2009;spanval1=span;template=results;type=team

Lowest scores in the last twelve months (sorted by team):

Pakistan: 90 (how did I miss this earlier?)
New Zealand: 99
England: 102
Australia: 127
South Africa: 133
West Indies: 181
Bangladesh: 216
Sri Lanka: 217
India: 233

I don't see why this should put me "back to my place." It was a very difficult pitch and this is our lowest score in 12 months and it looks heaven compared to what other teams have suffered...especially a particular team which got bowled out for 90. If we do manage to put up a decent target for England to chase I'd like to see how they get on in this pitch.

200 would be hard for us to get I reckon. youd need 400 in your second dig which is very unlikely, but like I said, the follow on usually turns a possible draw straight into a result of some sort...
 
Now I understand why some of the posters on Msn told me that arguing with Equinox is futile. If BD somehow find one more decent player soon we will be hearing that they are better than the Windies side of 70's and 80's.

I just figured it out, you are not worth it. So, I agree that its sad. We won't do that anymore.

come on guys take it easy !! we are friends, brothers !! we want to share our joy and excitement with each others, no need to offend, I mean you guys know when your team does well you feel like you are over the moon, then again when your team do crap you feel so frustrate and hopeless to follow their game, but after a while you again start to follow your team's game cause you want to enjoy that the team does well. Off course rivalry is good for teams but as fans no need for rivalry!!

Yes, how about we list out the numerous other achievements of the 'Tigers'? But of course after today's miserable performance this list will give you some level of comfort.

Nevertheless full credit to Tamim, Imrul, and Extras for putting a strong fight :14: :14:

I think a better stat would be Test match wins in the past decade; would be eye opening. Like I said before, when going get tough Equinox go go :asif
 
sunny intervals and possibility of showers forecast in Manchester today. still going to be warm-ish with high humidity, so it feels like a bowling day to me. got to be the follow on, if only to make a point - how demoralised must the Bangladeshi batters be ALREADY! and if we rack up another 350 batting instead, the rainclouds could set in on days 4 and 5 and make it difficult for the bowlers to get enough momentum to take the magic 10. whatever happens, what a brilliant comeback.
 
The big question this morning is whether or not England will enforce the follow on. Given some murky weather today they ought to want to get on with things. But, with the pitch spinning plenty and Tamim capable of causing havoc with the bat, England may not want to be chasing 150 plus on a day-five track.

The covers are on, it has been raining all night and there is still a touch of rain in the air. The groundstaff say it would take at least an hour to get the covers off but that can only happen once the rain stops. The forecast for the day isn't too smart either.

England have enforced the follow on and play will start at 1.15pm. All of which means it's not long until Tamim time! If the weather holds, and that is a big if, we could squeeze 82 overs of play in and play until 7pm. I should add, at the moment, Old Trafford is drenched in sunshine.

England have enforced the follow-on. really pleased - in these situations, the Flower/Strauss partnership has often erred on the side of caution and batted instead, and despite the criticisms I've defended them for it. however, this time it really has to be the follow-on, and I would have been angry to see anything else. and Tamim can't get another score...can he? play due to begin at 13.15. hopefully the weather holds.
 
I wonder what percentage of Bangladesh's total will come from Tamim? I reckon 72%.
 
Okay, with play due to start and im going sit back to watch the Tamim fun.

3 all out then...?
 
Tamim gone for second ball so begin the collapse early on now.

Bangladesh | 1-2
 
James Anderson.

Moving Track Bully.

but he is just so good in these conditions that he has to be picked.
 
The ball is swinging, and Anderson comes into his own in these conditions after being average this series.

Bangladesh may not even make 90 here!!! I wonder what Equinox's argument would be then? :inzi

Oh, okay. :))

I suppose all the subpar scores for the other nations were on on flat, Indian decks.

And btw, Steven Finn doesn't even rely on swing and he has 50% of the wickets. :13:
 
LOL! The thoughts on the first few pages on this thread have been exposed by BD's capitulation. Still an absolutely useless Test side, Tamim provided some sort of false prophecy of increasing consistency, but they'll lose this by an innings with ease here.
 
Fifth wicket go down Anderson picks up third wicket.

Bangladesh | 5-37
 
And there goes Ashrafool, how many more games at the top flight will this joker get?

37-5 and Swann hasn't bowled yet :))

They still nowhere Test team Tamim the only hope for them if the hope gone then what you can do about thet. Awful cricket from Bangladesh.
 
Six down Shehzad picks up first wicket.

Bangladesh | 6-39
 
They yet to score fifty runs they might out for under 50.
 
Shakib Sobers gone now ... this is an annihilation.
 
yesterday evening and this afternoon are two of the most one-sided sessions I've ever seen.

I still wouldnt get over-confident.

They are playing England (not Pak) - Eng are a solid test unit, improving and have impressive bench-strength if you look at who has been rested or dropped.
 
39-6

What a famous score that is for us Pak fans :)

If we lose 15 wickets for 103 runs in the England tour at any point, we can be compared to Bangladesh. It's been Tamim v England, literally.
 
Not old enough to remember, don't worry farhan1 :inzi
