Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh | 1st Test | Galle | March 8-12, 2013

[ahmed778]

Banglas are not collapskistan..

We'll see about that tomorrow.

 

[GenericBrand]

Keep in mind Ash averages 40+ against the Lankans..

 

[vandokkum]

Keep in mind Ash averages 40+ against the Lankans..

I remember him thrashing Murali on couple of occasions, waste of talent

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 402 runs with 8 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

This partnership needs to carry on here.

 

[vandokkum]

This Ashraful is such a talented batsman. The other guy not looking bad either for a debutant

 

[Justcrazy]

170 . 2

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[vandokkum]

Throwing wickets away, that's the problem with BD batsmen..

 

[Justcrazy]

179 / 4

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Mushi and Ahraful need to stick around there for 2 atleast sessions..

 

[Justcrazy]

BD need to bat on , they need at least 400 here

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yo..Yo.. The talented Ashraful still at the Crease... He would get a 150+ .....

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 386 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

184 / 4

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 386 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 371 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[GreenKnightRises]

200 Up for the SHer's...

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 368 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Talented Ashraful Bring Up his 100 in style.. Well deserved 100..

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh trail by 349 runs with 6 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashraful's biggest problem is consistency. Six hundreds, 8 fiftys but an average of less than 25 in more than 100 innings

 

[Justcrazy]

BD need to make sure they pass the follow on , that would be crucial if they want a draw. If they force SL to bat again , that will mean SL will have to bat another 50 - 60 overs at least.

 

[Justcrazy]

Last over

 

[Justcrazy]

Thats Lunch .........

BD need another solid partnership after lunch.

 

[Fateh]

looks like BD might avoid the follow-on .
224/4 at lunch .

 

[Red Devil]

Asharful now has more Hundreds than any current Pakistani Test batsmen apart from Younis Khan

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Hey guys I am back

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

All Ashraful haters, in yo face

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Shakib, Tamim etc would have scored ducks but look at Ashraful

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I hope Ashraful breaks :brianlara record

go Ash

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

 

[young guns]

Asharful now has more Hundreds than any current Pakistani Test batsmen apart from Younis Khan

since sehwag is out ,,,,ashraful has more hundreds than current indian batsmen too barring sachin....

 

[ads101]

I hope Ashraful breaks :brianlara record

go Ash

Ashraful is scoring again, how long has been the wait lol.

Can only be a good thing, he's pretty talented and hopefully can build on that ton, the lack of runs must have dent his confidence.

He's only 28 too, though feels like he's been there ages, so plenty of time left.

Good work by Bangladesh in terms of batting so far.

 

[Executioner]

since sehwag is out ,,,,ashraful has more hundreds than current indian batsmen too barring sachin....

LOL )

also, has more centuries than any other BD player in history

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Ash and Mush... teaching Lankan Trundler some lessons..

 

[NZcricketfan]

The Sri Lankans seem out of ideas. All they have been doing the last hour is bowling around the wicket pitching the ball leg side.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yo..Yo.. The talented Ashraful still at the Crease... He would get a 150+ .....

Another Prediction on the way... Ashraful on 143*.... Lol it seems I am becoming one 'Paul the Psychic Octo'....

 

[Aman]

Ashraful always was a great player to watch, its great to see him scoring runs again

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Little Mushi gets hi 100......

 

[Aman]

The stickerless bats seem to be working like a charm, maybe more batsmen should follow suit.

 

[Executioner]

Century from our captain Mushfiqur Rahim, only his 2nd Test 100. Looks to be in superb form.

Hopefully, we will maul the zimbos in the upcoming series

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Both Mush and ash breaking their own High scores...

 

[Executioner]

almost a 1000 runs scored in this test match and only 8 wickets have fallen so far

 

[leatherface58]

Damn these pitches can cause death of test cricket. I would rather watch a rank turner than this crappy road.

 

[Executioner]

This is a 7 day pitch. But the quality of the bowling in the match has been rubbish, and exceptional batting from sanga, thirimanna, chandimal, and ofcourse, sir ashraful and mushfiq

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yo..Yo.. The talented Ashraful still at the Crease... He would get a 150+ .....

My predictions are absolute..... Lol plss dont curse my tongue for being soo perfect...

 

[10sion]

Highest 5th wicket Partnership against Sri lanka....beats SRTs record.

No matter how flat the pitch is, for Bangladesh to do it, it just means we are going up.

 

[WICKET]

even on a flat pitch not many people would have bet on BD to play away and last this long....let alone have two batsmen on the right side of double centuries, that too without shakib and tamim. Hats off to the tigers!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

Isn't this where Hafeez got 196?

 

[Saurav]

lol so SL cant even beat BD at home now?

where is SL_Fan?waiting to hear from him how BCCI is responsible for this

 

[leatherface58]

Isn't this where Hafeez got 196?

No this is where Pakistan was bowled out for 100

 

[BHM :D]

Great batting.

 

[Fateh]

poor SL team .... such a ordinary test side . Well done BD .

 

[Fateh]

Is result still possible in this test ?

 

[Aman]

poor SL team .... such a ordinary test side . Well done BD .

Like all the other test playing nations besides SA and England.

 

[Executioner]

Is result still possible in this test ?

8 wickets have fallen in 3 days. 20 more wickets are needed from the last 2 if you are expecting a result

 

[Executioner]

Ashraful 11 runs away from being the first BD to score a double. Will be a great feat!

 

[Maximas]

After Day 3 scoreline saying Draw or Win for BD from here, but BD 2nd innings is always the key for them to be in bottom of rank table.

 

[kaayal]

well done bangladesh.

 

[leatherface58]

Rahim doing a great job. Heartening to see Mo Ashraful finally coming good.

 

[Executioner]

The awkward moment when you realize there are 6 wicketkeepers playing in this match!! LOL

 

[BaaliSoda]

Brilliant performance from Ashraful and Mushfiqur

Happy for Bangaldesh

 

[Sandeep]

What a performance from Bangladesh! Finally stabilizing themselves in cricket...

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Well even for a flat patch. This has been a memorable day for Bangladeshi cricket. Highest partnership for any wicket.

Congrats bangladeshi fans, to draw this test after being 570 behind. Looks like the draw-bonus scheme is working guys

 

[cricketworm]

Shabash Crashaful, you have crashed the party for the Lankans.

Also, congrats to mini beast, Rahim.

Greatest day for Bangla's test career.

 

[cricketworm]

Congrats Ashraful Rocks, MMHS, Executioner, khush toh bahot hoge tum. Bhalo Batting.

 

[Executioner]

so true

Memorable day for bangladesh cricket. We have batted very well even without our 2 best players: shakib and tamim

 

[amit]

The awkward moment when you realize there are 6 wicketkeepers playing in this match!! LOL

there r only 4 - sangakkara, dilshan, chandimal & mushfiqur

 

[Executioner]

there r only 4 - sangakkara, dilshan, chandimal & mushfiqur

jahurul and anamul are keepers as well. They are regular keepers in the domestics, and keeped wickets in the BPL as well. doesnt keep in national team though, because of mushfiq

 

[vandokkum]

The awkward moment when there are no wicket keepers in a playing xi... which happens everytime Pakistan play Kamran Akmal :kami

 

[leatherface58]

Lol Pakistan should borrow some keepers from bang bros. At least their keepers are proficient at keeping.

 

[Executioner]

^^
only if they promise to give us a decent fast bowler. even wahab riaz will do

 

[vandokkum]

Take

 

[leatherface58]

Take

Bang bros have pacers averaging 80 and 100+. Sami will be ATG there j/k

 

[ahmed778]

Good stuff from Bangladesh, it would be an understatement to say that i was surprised when i read the scorecard.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bang bros have pacers averaging 80 and 100+. Sami will be ATG there j/k

I would take Sami over Shahadat, Mashrafee, Rubel, Abul biri etc anyday of the week

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I think Ashraful can break the record. Come on Ash, break the record and then retire in peace

 

[leatherface58]

Mashrafe wasn't bad. Didn't have any support but without injuries, he was a decent bowler. Shafiul, Shahadat, Rubel are crap. Rubel has fc average of 50 lol.
