A very smart comment. Thanks for bringing it up.

Yeh I agree, pretty insightful. Lets hope it won't matter! Nafees just hit a great boundary, beat three fielders! :D

Could not agree more. Keeping wicket is more important. Run will come. I hope Rajin will play sensibly and create a great partnership.

[shimraj]

Warne "how did Murali get so many wickets against these minnows":umm:

[shamster]

Another 60 runs tonight with the minimum loss of 1 more wicket.

im watching it. so far we playing well...hope and pray we keep it that way:fanflag:

[Mr-khan]

55.4 Warne to Shahriar Nafees, FOUR, good shot, sweeps well over the square leg fielder, ball goes into the fence, well played.

He has not right to destroy Warne's carrier:mad:

[pilot fan]

nefees plays spin so well as he play them with soft hands

he finds pace more testing

nefees reminds me a bit of andy flower

[rafiq]

Spitfire, Bashar getting out after playing an accomplished innings like this one is not a problem - he did his job. It's the manner of his dismissal, and the timing right before tea that leaves room for improvement. When you reach 238/1 and you have a scored a chanceless 76, you want to come back after tea and get to your century. Also the timing of the wicket has a huge psychological effect. Having given up 144 in the first session, the Aussies would be at their wits end had they gone through the second session without a single wicket. I would rather Bashar get out for the same score two balls after tea than two balls before.

In any case, on to current issues. Comparing Shahriar chasing down Ashraful's 158 vs India - two very different innings don't you think. Nafees is way more composed and in control, while Ashraful was astonishing the way he accelerared from 100 to 150. Somehow I think Nafees' approach is better!

Rajin looks like he needs to score a few and get going and not fall into the trap of being too cautious.

[pilot fan]

well played rajin getting his eye in

[shamster]

Rafique/mortaza would have been good against these leggies ... Rajin not very good against these guys. He is under pressure competition for his place !

[cricket_pagol]

Saleh is playing as a anchor... It would be nice if gets a single once in a while... Rajin just don't get out!!!!!!!!

[rakib28]

Rajin should utilize the opportunity ginen to him.

[Frost]

Warne is close to his century:clap:

Agreed!

[tutul]

no rush rajin. just keep it how it is...dont give way wicket

[pilot fan]

do not even think about critizising rajin for slow scoreing he is doing very well making sure that we do not collapse

[sunny747]

maan...warne and mcgill bowling from the other end.....this could be the toughest they had ever faced...still they are playing so comfortably....i'm so proud...

[Mohiul]

let's give warne a big hand for his century

[Mr-Cricket]

Ashraful playing a suicidal innings here! Oh and Warney off with a shoulder injury!

[rakib28]

"Warne is the best bowler in the world"......fooh......may be in Aus, Eng or Saf. But he was never good in Subcontinent.....and BD will be his worst nightmare from now on!!!

[nannu]

16 runs in a over this is entertaining test match.

[thasan]

ash playing like ash!! mad!!!
but im having fun watching his batting :joy::joy::joy:

[cricket_pagol]

Ashraful has clamed down a bit... He was taking too much risk at the beginning of his innings

[imran78]

ash needs to calm down. could have been out 3 times already.

[Ejaj]

Btwe.. How is Rajin playing?.. i mean. how is he playing the ball?.. Really hope Rajin to do something really good in this match.

[rakib28]

That Fat Moran needs to think from now on before he opens his mouth.

[cricket_pagol]

Rajin is doing a good job keeping things calm and quiet!!!

[nannu]

rajin defending very very wel

[Mr-Cricket]

All we need to do now, is bat for as long as we can, can't afford to get quick runs/ lose quick wickets! Need to, essentially, bat them out of the game! (Can't believe I'm actually saying this - It's Australia!)

[rakib28]

Rajin is playing solid so far....didn't gine any chance. Looking good to make a big score here.

[Mr-Cricket]

Ashraful almost got head before wicket just then, attempting a cheeky sweep down to the fine leg boundary! :sorry:

[pilot fan]

tell u what ash looks in good nick

[rakib28]

Ash is being too much optimistic.....somebody needs to shower him with ice cold water!!!

[nannu]

MacGill to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, cuts and misses outside the off stump, a nothing shot.

asher mathai borof dhalte hobe

[Donny]

That is also batting yourself out of the game. :)

Although I do understand a draw would be like a win to Bangladesh, especially if it's not rain effected.

i love ashraful's shot but koloja dhuk dhuk kora evey ball he plays

Not really mate, what I meant to say was, if we can bat through a couple more sessions (we're only 3 down), we could post a mammoth total (I don't want to think about it though, we've collapsed too many times, from a great position, to even consider). But even so, if we can bowl to them on a 4th or 5th day wicket, with Rafique and Anal, then who knows!

And, wouldn't you know it! Ashraful's gone! Ignore what I just said!

[thebest]

Ash lbw by umpire. Clear inside edge

[Miraz]

Ashraful is unlucky as there was a clear inside edge

[Ejaj]

this is what bd didnt want at all to happen.. damn ash.. ! why is he soo foolish????

[thasan]

not plumb!! he got inside edge...please have a close look...the commentators are saying that as well!!!:E:E:E

Couldn't agree more.

Asharaful's ODI attitude has not gone yet. IMHO, he is not a test player - but definitely an ODI player.

[Ejaj]

Now.. both the batsmen playing inside from shell............ its impossible to survive against aussie like this............. Aussie like Brazil.. If u dont attack them............. they will ride on u.

I am afraid.. if these both play like this .. then. they might end up scoring 20 runs only..

they need to be positive. they are allowing jason to get his confidance back and become lethal.

[pilot fan]

rajin is not playing well


lol

[Miraz]

Anyway we have to restart building the innings right from here

[Mr-Cricket]

That was soo lucky! Inside edge just past leg stump! :o

Who woulda thought! If you had told me at the start of today we'd be 302/4 with 20 overs to go, I woulda laughed! Still, we need to build on it!

[pilot fan]

big appeal very close

[imran78]

wow..huge shout. not given

[Mr-Cricket]

Huge appeal from the Aussies for caught behind, Gilchrist went right up! Given not out! Thank god!

[pilot fan]

looked like he nicked it

makes up for ash then

[rakib28]

Gillespie was appealing to the ground....what the hell is wrong with him....pressuring the umpire like that.

[6alltheway]

anyone here got link to free video?

I have no idea how we are on 300/4 but its absolutely greatt:great:

[Mr-Cricket]

Warney back on the field! He's strapped his elbow with tape! Can't be too serious, I was hoping it was the shoulder! :o

[rakib28]

The Fat Moran is back....is he gonna ball now? If so, Aftab, beat the heal out of him please.

[Mr-Cricket]

New ball due in 7 overs, lets hope these two can at least survive until then!

[nannu]

Warne back on the field.

yess!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

[Mohiul]

seems that both the batters are not playing Gillespi comfortably

[Ejaj]

I am scared abt Aftab. He is such a clean batsman.. but. he is struggling here. I really hope.. u can get past his nervous moment here. Otherwise. he will gonna fall. He is playing totally not lke himself. He is kind of trying to imitate someone else... Not goooood

[rakib28]

Only 17 more overs to........can BD finish w/o loosing a wicket today.....Allah! Madat Koro!!!

[Miraz]

Rajin is playing sensibly. And we don't want to lose any more wicket today.

[Mr-Cricket]

Well played! Saleh dispatches MacGill to the long on fence! :)

[6alltheway]

my only worry is that if BD make 400+ Aussie will make 500+

[Mr-Cricket]

Aftab joins in on the action!

[pilot fan]

4 more we are taking the attacking route

6 overs till the new ball

Thats why I want us to bat through as many overs as possible, gives them less time to chase the win! Cast your memories back to the first Test match we ever played!

this is a prob.. Aftab is facing Mcgill and Rajin is facing Lee... it shoudl be oppostie.. Aftab should somehow face Lee for his good.

[abdulw11]

Just woke up and remembered 1st day of test begins today, checked BBC and ecstatic to see the headline 'Australia shocked by Nafees hundred'. Had to come in to see all the reaction in BanglaCricket. Go BD!!!

[PoorFan]

Hi guys, nice to see Nafees got century.:bravo:
Good batting so far from Bangladesh. Long way to go yet so keep it up.

[rakib28]

Rajin is playing Lee's yorkers brilliantly!!!!! :great::great:

i think lee is stating to reverse the ball quite a lot

[abdulw11]

I just hope they can bat to the end of the day without losing any wickets, even if they make little runs.

[Ejaj]

Originally posted by pilot fan

Any bowler knows how to reverse swing a ball. should be able to reverse swing any ball at the moent. the ball is damn 75+ overs old.. so.. it shoudl swing every now and then

[BD_Ashraful]

3 overs till the new ball i think aus should not take the new ball until maybe 85th over because mcgill is getting spin and lee is getting swing

[6alltheway]

damn turning quiet alot now

[rakib28]

No more wickets....doesn't matter how many runs.....I'm a happy camper!!!! :):)

very important part of the match here

just praying that these two can survive to the end of the day

This is a quote from one of the guys from another cricket website:

"I think people are forgetting that Aus still have to bat...if BD can score this on this pitch, we can double it"

aftab here has a chance to prove to everyone that he is a test player

[Mr-Cricket]

Does anyone know why it took Saleh this long to break back into the first team? I mean clearly he's talented, and he has about 2500 first class runs to his name at an average of over 35 (One of the best first class averages of any player in his generation - Comparable even to Bashar) He's got 4 Test 50's, and another 6 scores between 40-49! I'm baffled! But hey, maybe thats just me! :-/

That is definely either rediff or cricbuzz. They are talking it for the whole day. Even somebody talking to hold the curator for making a dead pitch. These indians are simply jealous.

[Ejaj]

Leee............ applying almost bodyline tactic (ok.. may not be a true bodyline stuff:)).. but.. its pathtic.. to bowl fast and short to a batsman who is already a short guy. And. trying to injure him in his rib :D

Will love to see. if rajib can do same to them :D

new ball due after this

[BD_Ashraful]

11 overs to go come bangladesh bat the day out rajin should be moderate and aftab should be attacking

[Ejaj]

i don know.. everytime.. Aftab comes to face mcgill.. my heart beat increses.. Is everyone feeling same ?

[pilot fan]

will we get all the overs in?

[6alltheway]

new ball

[thebest]

they did not take the new ball

[Ejaj]

lol....... very unsporting tactic from Lee.. bowling directly at the chest........... more into hurting and terrorizing..

i hope.. Aftab doesnt get mad at him for this and keeps his head cool

Well. i dont think.. Ponting will take new ball today.. His bowlers are getting pretty good reverse swing. and with Lee.. bounce is also not a problem..and with mcgil. the ball is turning a lot... so. no real need for a new ball

[6alltheway]

FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abdulw11]

Four! Off Brett Lee

[Ejaj]

I wonder.. bd can score anther 30 runs in 10 over remaining today without loosing anymore wicket!!.. itt wil be a dream day for bd then

[pilot fan]

risky hook for 4 but that is aftab's natural game

[Mr-Cricket]

Great hook shot from Aftab, beats the man at the long leg fence! Hope Bing has learned his lesson - STOP BOWLING BOUNCERS! :)

[shimraj]

Here is my prediction.

If Bangladesh doesn't loose any more wicket today, score will be 450+ by noon tomorrow.

[abdulw11]

Good news - Lee looking tired!

[al Furqaan]

That is definely either rediff or cricbuzz. They are talking it for the whole day. Even somebody talking to hold the curator for making a dead pitch. These indians are simply jealous.


indians (pakistan when they play india) know all about flat wickets.

indians have avged 250 against AUS...sour grapes i think, lol

[6alltheway]

Big shout, Not given

[pilot fan]

big apeall

[Mr-Cricket]

Big shout from the Aussies! Heart in mouth stuff, this!

[Ejaj]

:) this is what i m afraid off.. Once Aftab looses his temper.. he will try to smash who the hell out of the ground.. just like Ash. So.. this means. more chance for Aus.. and it wil lbe an extreme loss for bd if he looses his wicket at this stage

[AsifTheManRahman]

very professional performance so far - even from this pair. i like, i like.

Yeah I think it was cricbuzz.

I think India's pitches were historically dead. At times two innings could not have finished withing 5 days let alone 3 or 4. People were even thinking about 6 day tests.

[pilot fan]

edged overs slips calm down aftab protect your wicket

[mzia]

Wild shot by Aftab, needless efforts....should be calm...

[BD_Ashraful]

has aftab gone off in tests before

[abdulw11]

Phew! Had me worried there!

[pilot fan]

was that a dropped catch?

[Mr-Cricket]

Far out! Risky! Huge slog, off the top edge to third man, and nearly gets run out coming back for third! Oh and Gilchrist just dropped another (admittedly difficult) catch! :P

[Huda]

They're actually not bowling that badly at the moment, Warney bowled alot of loose deliveries early on, but last few overs have been a struggle. I think it has alot to do with the pitch, and the way we have batted (Sensibly for the most part). MacGill is getting alot of turn though!

[BD_Ashraful]

so how many drop catches today

[thebest]

This is from TMS from an aussie. I like it

"I dont care wot pitch it is or care wot any of you say

They have embaressed us 2day

we look like the number 10 team!

we have 1 less batsman aswell!....shahadat hossain is a ripper bowler and mortaza is very good , hoque Jr is the best young spinner in the world. and rafique is the best left arm spinner going around, just look at his record..

we will loose this"

We are bringing fear to opposition. What an achievment by Bangladesh

Go Tigers. Eat the Kangaoors

[exotic]

One of the greatest day in my life.

[abdulw11]

350s up! Yay!

[shimraj]

Am I seeing frustration on aussies' faces. Man this is good. I think they are just spell bound just like me. :lol:

[al Furqaan]

350 up im goin to bed with the wish that these bat till lunch tomorrow

[shamster]

Best find of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks mate.. lovelyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I loved the Ripper part........... i wonder.. if Rajib can really rip them apart..

On my judgement.. i believe.. Jr will seriously troubel these batsmen wthi turn and flight. Aussies are by nature weaker agsint left arm spin.

[BD_Ashraful]

350 BY bangladesh go BANGLADESH :fanflag:

Don't read too much into it, they've got reason to be dissapointed (I know I would be, considering I support the Aussies when Bangladesh isn't involved), but still, a long way to go yet fellas! :lol:

[nannu]

350/4:bravo:

Thanks Mr-Cricket, sensible batting from our part is the point today. AUS may come back tuned tomorrow. Hope BD boys keep up their hard work.

Warne bowled crap. McGill is getting turn. Lee bowled well in patches. But defienely the best bowler was Gillispi. Bowl stump to stump. We actually played well. Did not throw wicket like other time

[shamster]

The good thing is the pitch is turning and there will be bounce for Enamul if he flights and grips the ball as he does. Inshallah march on for 500 then try to get them out for 300 odd then bat and try set them target of 400 plus

[abdulw11]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! OUT!!!!

[BD_Ashraful]

what is stumps time?

[BD_Ashraful]

What who is out?

[pilot fan]

ahh aftab through his wicket away

[abdulw11]

Aftab Ahmed out! Damn! A bit careless from Ahmed.

[reverse_swing]

Aftab gone.:mad:

[pilot fan]

night watchman?

[Mr-Cricket]

Are you serious?

[shamster]

argggggghhhhh !

[thasan]

aftab out :(:(:(
