Chokshanada is out for the 2nd time

 

[Kwremb]

Why does Bangladesh play Test cricket? Isn't Galle supposed to be a dustbowl?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla bowlers getting a sound beating as per usual, nothing ever changes.

 

[leatherface58]

Why is useless Ashraful in the side? Can't bat, bowl or field. Does he have contacts or the dirty pics of the selectors?

Why complaining about ashrafu when someone like Shahadat hossain gets picked after doing absolutely nothing in domestics? He did not even play more than 3 matches in BPL, and he is supposed to spearhead the Bangladesh attack

We are losing this match by an innings and 500 runs, but by the looks of it, rain will save us from a loss

 

[leatherface58]

Lol I didn't know the grunt was a non-performer in domestic. I guess there is a collective mafia.

 

[Varun]

Bangladesh - and I'm not naming individual players - you lot are downright atrocious at international tests!

 

[Executioner]

Lol I didn't know the grunt was a non-performer in domestic. I guess there is a collective mafia.

Or more like our selectors dont have proper eyesight and considers that sharapova bowls faster just because he grunts

Bangladesh - and I'm not naming individual players - you lot are downright atrocious at international tests!

Comeon, this is our C-team, we are missing all our top players - shakib, tamim, mashrafee, enamul haque jr courtesy of injuries in BPL.

What we are really missing a character like Imran Khan. Seriously, how much do you think a man who is 5 foot 2 and has a childish voice motivate his side? I am seriously missing shakib al hasan the captain.

 

[the Great Khan]

lol..another battering in the offing..there will come a point where no body will be willing to play bangla in tests!!

 

[RehanG]

Is it on tv in uk

 

[Anfield]

Bangladesh shouldn't play tests as simple as that. They should play with A teams of top eight teams.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Gee Afganistan would spank this lot for good these guys are just pups at club level cricket let alone test.
I thought Bangalis would improve but some how they are continually in decline.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Bangla Will Hold a draw..... But Jaya And Sanga To score a ton and Double Respectively

I din Know jaya was Injured.. Else I would have given it To Thirimanne..

My Second Prediction is on the way... Thirimanne currently t 98..

 

[young guns]

My Second Prediction is on the way... Thirimanne currently t 98..

he wont score a double,,,,,,they will declare before that

 

[GreenKnightRises]

he wont score a double,,,,,,they will declare before that

I'll think they'll go for 600.. Or chandimal's 100

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Lol... Shahadath Hussain trying to imitate Morne's action...

 

[Justcrazy]

511 / 4

Massive score

 

[Justcrazy]

Abu Hasan averaging 214 with ball

 

[Justcrazy]

54 overs remaining , SL can easily bat another 35 overs here and declare with 650 .

 

[Justcrazy]

BD have to get at least 400 plus here , to save the match.

 

[Justcrazy]

519 / 4

 

[Hussey_fan]

Abdul hasan has played 10 first class matches,he has taken 8 wickets and is bangladash team,wow they are living on another planet?

 

[Marshland]

Pretty poor effort from the Bangladeshi bowlers thus far.

 

[Marshland]

Looks like the Sri Lankans have declared. And here I was banking on them to score a 1000 against this "attack".

 

[Justcrazy]

Sri Lanka 570/4d

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 565 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 549 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

BD must look to bat out whole day 3 to have a chance of draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

22 . 0

 

[Justcrazy]

35 overs to go , these two need to get a long partnership . BD must get 400 at least to draw.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashraful gets another opportunity

He needs to fire here, the pitch is flat.

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashraful averages less than 23

 

[Justcrazy]

Tea

23 / 1

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 529 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Executioner]

You know the pitch is flat when BD does not lose a handful of wickets before scoring 50 runs. (Jahuru;s' wicket doesnt count, he cant play anyways)

51/1

 

[Justcrazy]

51 / 1

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnership 32 runs.

 

[Justcrazy]

AShraful 25 no

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

64 / 1

 

[Justcrazy]

Mendis in now.

 

[Executioner]

anamul gone!

 

[Justcrazy]

Mendis strikes in the first over

 

[Executioner]

that was a very poor shot from young anamul, didnt get his feet to the pitch of the ball

 

[leatherface58]

Why is useless Ashraful in the side? Can't bat, bowl or field. Does he have contacts or the dirty pics of the selectors?

Come on Ashraful prove me wrong. Eye of the tiger. Eye of the tiger

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 495 runs with 8 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Executioner]

lol Ash is playing a good hand. Ashraful is one of the most talented batsman in the world, on full flow, his amla-isque, but he really needs to stop his umarish brainfart.

an average of 22.5 doesnt do any justice to a man of his talent. The stage is set, ashraful is due to score a 200 and if he doesnt do it here against an ordinary bowling lineup and a flat track, you will not score it anywhere else in the world

 

[young guns]

^^^^yea he will score 200,,,,dont worry

 

[Executioner]

BD team looks really inexperienced. We have 2 debutants, 1 playing his 3rd match, one playing his 2nd, and 2 playing their 5th test match -_-

 

[Executioner]

^^^^yea he will score 200,,,,dont worry

thats how everyone feels when he starts to play his shot

However, the opponent is SL and sir ashraful has 4 centuries against lankans

 

[young guns]

ashraful has wider range of shots than tamim......

 

[RehanG]

so this test is not being televised in the UK/EU is it even a test match?

 

[Executioner]

so this test is not being televised in the UK/EU is it even a test match?

its being shown on ten-cricket, ten sports and local BD channel

dont think such a match would be televised in UK

 

[Fateh]

looks like a draw with thunderstorm forecast every afternoon .

 

[Executioner]

^^^

even if there is no rain there will still be a draw because the pitch is as flat as a pancake and the bowling unit of both teams are weak esp. that of BD

 

[mosh101]

Excellent fight by bangladesh ! Good to see ashraful amongst the runs ! Hope these two continue this partnership !!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Isn't Ashraful the same Guy who scored century at an age of 17th.. the youngest player to do so...!!

I Think Ashraful Is like :umarakmal.. thatz why he is so less averaged than his talent

i think BD will follow-on & lose if there is no rain .

 

[leatherface58]

Ashraful's once-in-a-blue-moon knock. Hope he carries on.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

waty abt ur second prediction????thirimane didnt score a double

...They DECLARED...!!!!! He was on Fire, would have gone on to get that easily

 

[Executioner]

^^ You said that jaya would get a ton

 

[vandokkum]

Absolutely shameful pitch

 

[GreenKnightRises]

^^ You said that jaya would get a ton

I had given a reply for that in post 75..

 

[Marshland]

Absolutely shameful pitch

Need to see how both sides go on it first. If Bangladesh don't collapse and are capable of posting their own 500 total, then I'll tend to agree.

Can't really apply the same standards to BD by expecting them to score 500. I would say 400 plus for BD

Looking okay at 135/2 then.

I think they did score 500 or nearabouts in one of their last few test innings, where even the no. 10 scored a hundred!

 

[cricketindiafan]

BD catching was pathetic. Lost count of the chances they dropped.

 

[kungfu90]

SL are tough to beat in their own grounds.
India haven't won a series there in last 20 years.

 

[ahmed778]

Expect Bangladesh to collapse tomorrow.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Banglas are not collapskistan..

 

[Hussey_fan]

good luck to lions,pathetic tigers
