Match Thread: Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test, July 03-07, 2007

[Timtim]

mushy isnt gettin his 50....

[Aritro]

He passionately used the Lankan example and called for more active support and time, as opposed to the ajaira negativism and hypocritical impatience.

He's got a much more generous attitude to it than I do, but that's a debate for a different thread.

[Sohel]

Stick to those singles along the ground bloodz ... for the next 20 minutes.

[sandpiper]

mushy isnt gettin his 50....

L-)

[cricketboy]

Can we take the match to the 4th day is the question.

[battye]

BIG NOOOOOOO.

:lol: Ohh, c'mon, have faith in Captain Ashraful!! :)

[adel]

Stick to those singles along the ground bloodz ... for the next 20 minutes.

Hmmmmmmmmm. That is the appropriate way to approach the situation in whcih Bangladesh is in at the moment.

[sandpiper]

Can we take the match to the 4th day is the question.

if we dont lose any wkt within an hour , its verily possible

[Shafin]

One run off the first over

[Sohel]

I agree with antora93 BTW on the HaBa ... though I'd have expressed myself differently.

Give the sistah a break.

[battye]

Can we take the match to the 4th day is the question.

At this rate, I would say quite comfortably.

[rubel_18]

I agree with antora93 BTW on the HaBa ... though I'd have expressed myself differently.

Give the sistah a break.

Spot on bro sum ppl just like to attack her whenever they hav the chance.

[Sohel]

Mushy needs to relax a bit ...

[Antora]

I'm sorry but you are not taking the broad context into account. Your decisons are based on his recent performances. What about what he has done for Bangladesh cricket?

just refer back to post 2704.

wow guys relax!!!!!! wat i said before... i didnt mean to sound harsh!!! i just have something against bashar just like i have something against dhoni!!! except when bash plays i still support bd!! thats the only difference from me dislikeing bash and dhoni.
anyway sorry if my comments before have offended anyone.. like i said before i didnt mean to sound harsh!!!

[battye]

Does anyone know the last time Bangladesh played a 3 Test series?

[sunny747]

watch it before doing a personal attack there

mods are here to educate me.......so please don't butt your nose into my matter..thanks........

[adel]

wow guys relax!!!!!! wat i said before... i didnt mean to sound harsh!!! i just have something against bashar just like i have something against dhoni!!! except when bash plays i still support bd!! thats the only difference from me dislikeing bash and dhoni.

Nah, nah. My fault entirely. I tend to interpret posts differntly to most people. BTW your comment is fair enough.

[sunny747]

cricket.org not refreshing for long time............kharap news naki?

[Antora]

mushy nearly 50!!!!

[Dhurr]

bhai re, 200 kor please.

[PoorFan]

CI not updating, whats wrong?

[Sohel]

Ash plays Murali with such amazing ease ... he only needs not to be duped by the Master's scripts.

[Dhurr]

arektu hoilei gesilo. run out er chance.

etokkhon ek shathe bat kortese dui pichchi, ekhono communicate korte shikhe nai?

[cricket_dorshok]

relax guys, we have lot of other things to discuss other than our beloved Hablu

[Dhurr]

CI not updating, whats wrong?


nothing's wrong. 182/5

[adel]

Lets Go Bangladesh!

[tiger_omar]

Everytime CI takes more that 15-20 seconds to update the score, I get worried that a wicket just fell, and it makes me fell sick to my stomach, you guys get that often?

[Sohel]

bhai re, 200 kor please.

Bolodgula crease-e nai ... hoya jaibo INSHALLAH !

[sandpiper]

Murali is wicketless for 14 overs in Colombo ? is it natural ? :)

[One World]

mods are here to educate me.......so please don't butt your nose into my matter..thanks........

i am not a mod but what i said contained enough reasons, something you said that sounded off the original topic and more of a comment on someone's psychological situation which seemed improper

[cricketboy]

I agree with antora93 BTW on the HaBa ... though I'd have expressed myself differently.

Give the sistah a break.

I think Habla should go back and perform in domestic cricket if he doesnt want to retire.

[scoilaheez]

Ash is looking solid

[Dhurr]

nice bounce.

[adel]

Murali is wicketless for 14 overs in Colombo ? is it natural ? :)

I guess our batsmen have tamed the usually wil Murali-Man.

[Sohel]

Great delivery from Dilhara ... Mushy did well to get his gloves out of the way ... good sign.

[adel]

come on Mushy! just one more run.

[PoorFan]

Everytime CI takes more that 15-20 seconds to update the score, I get worried that a wicket just fell, and it makes me fell sick to my stomach, you guys get that often?
I can bet, everyone.

[cricket_king]

Everytime CI takes more that 15-20 seconds to update the score, I get worried that a wicket just fell, and it makes me fell sick to my stomach, you guys get that often?

Dude....you have no idea

[adel]

Mushy still looks calm. Good sign.

[sunny747]

i am not a mod but what i said contained enough reasons, something you said that sounded off the original topic and more of a comment on someone's psychological situation which seemed improper

it seems you know somebodies(?) psychological situation very well.....infact more than us......

[tigerpower]

19 consecutive dot balls now

[cricket_dorshok]

I think Habla should go back and perform in domestic cricket if he doesnt want to retire.
I think its high time for him to retire from international arena.

[Dhurr]

pichchi re, dhorjo harais na. tor 50 hoiboi ajke. laigga thak.

[Sohel]

Dui pichchi must not get frustrated now ... just wait it out for two more overs until the singles start to flow again ...

[sandpiper]

4 from Ash

[One World]

it seems you know somebodies(?) psychological situation very well.....infact more than us......

i dont know really, BTW what size of mon u got, i am getting curious

[BD-Shardul]

Mushy and Ash are approaching very carefully...............

[Dhurr]

ashraful murali re ekdom easily read kortese. nice sweep.

[SherKhan]

GUys loook solid today

[sandpiper]

Ash in 60's

[cricket_king]

3rd maiden in a row :(

[Sohel]

Finally Mushy to face Murali ... he needed that. Dilhara was getting to him.

[sunny747]

well, i thought cricket.org stopped updating the score........now i see it's 3 maiden in a row.........somebody in the dressing room must have said them to cool down...

[adel]

4!!!

[battye]

Mushfiqur taking a while to get his 50...

[Antora]

Spot on bro sum ppl just like to attack her whenever they hav the chance.

i think people have something against me these dayz

[Dhurr]

pichchi comes down the track to the pitch of the ball and blocks. well played.

[scoilaheez]

3 maidens in a row. But i think this is good for our position as long as Ash doesnt get impatient.

[Sohel]

Mushy gets his maiden 50 ... now on to 50 more bhaiya ... dhorjo dhorlei shohoje parbi.

[Dhurr]

pichchir fifty. yesssss.

[sandpiper]

50 for Mushfiqur Rahim

ashraful 62, pichchi 50. bangladesh 190/5. good going.

[Antora]

50 for mushy!!!!!!!! total tiger!!!!!!!!!! wohoooooo!!!!!!!!:flag:

[BanCricFan]

congrats Mush!!!

[Aritro]

Bloody hell, what a shocking way to bring up your 50. I can breathe again.

Well done. I've been following his career since he was 16 and looking forward to this moment ever since.

[PoorFan]

Well done Mushy!!! Now keep it up, job not done yet.

[Dhurr]

WOW brilliant shot by pichchi. should have been a boundary.

[One World]

saved one blush from another humiliating record

[tiger_omar]

Congrats Mushfiq, you have made us proud and helped us avoid a little bit of humiliation.

[sandpiper]

30 minutes after lunch

[Sohel]

i think people have something against me these dayz

Not me, and many others who LOVE having you here. By the end of the day: you've been right, and all the HaBa apologists expectedly wrong.

[battye]

That's 50 up!
Well done Mushfiqur!

[Sillypoint]

Shabash Mushi

[Antora]

can i hope for a 100 from ash?

[cricket_dorshok]

Rahim has become the second youngest Bangladeshi batsman to score a test fifty at 18 years following Ashraful's fifty which he scored when he was 16 years old.
congratesssssss Mushy

[cricket_king]

WOOO! Well done mushfique :bravo:

[sunny747]

i dont know really, BTW what size of mon u got, i am getting curious

what are you refering by 'mon"?
If that has anything to do with my location then you are wrong........i dont' live near adjacent parts of Thailand and Myanmar.

[Antora]

Not me, and many others who LOVE having you here. By the end of the day: you've been right, and all the HaBa apologists expectedly wrong.

lol

[Shafin]

Murali is getting the treatment from Ash

[Dhurr]

115 run partnership. 150 is the next target.

[battye]

Ashraful is 38 runs away from a century.

[PoorFan]

Trailing less than 200.

[Sohel]

Congrats Mushfiq, you have made us proud and helped us avoid a little bit of humiliation.

This landmark partnership from a 23 and an 18-year old will give us the elbow room BCB needs to correct itself.

[green_cat]

congrats to Mushy

[Ganguly da]

Rahim is the 2nd youngest player for BD after Ash to score a maiden 50 at age 18, Ash scored his when he was 16

[bd_cricket]

Tushar might join the test squad for the 3rd test.

[One World]

useless stupid, i am too old for this

[SherKhan]

They are resembeling test cricketeers

[Dhurr]

my prediction - bangladesh will only go only as far as these two take us. as soon as one of them gets out, the tail will crumble.

[One World]

Tushar might join the test squad for the 3rd test.
http://www.shamokal.com/details.php?nid=66264

good dig

[Shafin]

50 for Mushy :bravo:

[sandpiper]

Tushar might join the test squad for the 3rd test.
http://www.shamokal.com/details.php?nid=66264

to replace whom ? Habibul Bashar ?

[Sohel]

Ajaira appeal ... they're rattled ... stay calm Ash ... 138 more runs to go Skipper.

[Antora]

Tushar might join the test squad for the 3rd test.
http://www.shamokal.com/details.php?nid=66264

hmmm is that a good thing or a bad thing? i havent seen tushar play in a while!!!

[cricketboy]

Tushar might join the test squad for the 3rd test.
http://www.shamokal.com/details.php?nid=66264

I hope so. :)

[Electrequiem]

congrats mushy!

[SherKhan]

These two have compelled me to stay awake, Even though i gotta lotta stuff to do tommorow

[sandpiper]

my prediction - bangladesh will only go only as far as these two take us. as soon as one of them gets out, the tail will crumble.

etai to shavabik :-|

[cricketboy]

Ash century korle ami moha khusi.

[Dhurr]

they are appealing anything. the ball was nowhere near the bat and murali and the lankans were appealing for a catch. bangladesh is in the driver's seat today. let's not give away whatever progress was made.

[Dhurr]

etai to shavabik :-|

kichudin ageo tail ta wag korto. ekhon ar kore na.

[tiger_omar]

my prediction - bangladesh will only go only as far as these two take us. as soon as one of them gets out, the tail will crumble.

I hope you're wrong, but I've seen it happen way too many times during our innings to bet against your prediction. Hopefully, Mashrafe can play a vice-captains innings and give either Ash or Mushi some support.

[PoorFan]

Tushar might join the test squad for the 3rd test.
http://www.shamokal.com/details.php?nid=66264
Thats a good move, and drop Hablu.

[Shafin]

Partnership reaches 116

[sunny747]

my prediction - bangladesh will only go only as far as these two take us. as soon as one of them gets out, the tail will crumble.

i hope you are wrong.......
i want to see mash bat today..

fernando lost his rhythm completely or its just another mind game they play

[Mohiul]

May Allah make these two batsman able to convert these fifties into centuries. Sobai bolen AAMIN

[Aritro]

hmmm is that a good thing or a bad thing? i havent seen tushar play in a while!!!

Unless Tushar has drastically improved his footwork, technique and timing, it's not a particularly good thing.

They should put Sakib back into the side and give him some more experience.

[sunny747]

kichudin ageo tail ta wag korto. ekhon ar kore na.

hehhe..good one....

[Antora]

May Allah make these two batsman able to convert these fifties into centuries. Sobai bolen AAMIN

[Shafin]

Ajaira appeal ... they're rattled ... stay calm Ash ... 138 more runs to go Skipper.
His highest is 263 ;)

[scoilaheez]

Whose scarier Dilhara or Shahadat?

[sunny747]

one of them well score century today.........mark my word.....

[sandpiper]

aamin

[Mohiul]

fernando lost his rhythm completely or its just another mind game they play

Absolutely, mind game. in the past he got wickets after giving some wides in an over and getting wicket in that same over

[Shafin]

May Allah make these two batsman able to convert these fifties into centuries. Sobai bolen AAMIN
Aamin.

[Antora]

Unless Tushar has drastically improved his footwork, technique and timing, it's not a particularly good thing.

They should put Sakib back into the side and give him some more experience. i agree with you on that!!! i want sakib to return:(

[nzfan]

lol at the guy falling asleep in the crowd

[Shafin]

5 runs needed for 200

[green_cat]

waiting for 200/5 to come

[tiger_omar]

Aamin

[scoilaheez]

How come there are so many people asleep at the cricket?

[Shafin]

[/B] i agree with you on that!!! i want sakib to return:(
Under current circumstances,Tushar might be a better choice over Shakib

[Sohel]

CV back to bowl ... Mahela out of ideas for a few overs ... watch out for the reverse swing.

[sandpiper]

Vaas brought back

[Dhurr]

Aamin.

[scoilaheez]

Under current circumstances,Tushar might be a better choice over Shakib
My preference is Sakib but I would have Aftab over both of them. If I had my way I would drop JO and Bashar and bring in Aftab and Sakib.

[sandpiper]

gald to see they survived the first few overs after lunch

[Sohel]

Unless Tushar has drastically improved his footwork, technique and timing, it's not a particularly good thing.

They should put Sakib back into the side and give him some more experience.

I agree, but don't think he will, or CAN do any worse than HaBa (who'll probably still play, albeit lower down the batting order).

[Antora]

Under current circumstances,Tushar might be a better choice over Shakib

sakib or tushar?? im confused!!!!!!:-/

[battye]

Vaas back in the attack.

I expect Sri Lanka to turn to a part timer pretty soon...

[Shafin]

Vaas Back on attack

[BD-Shardul]

C.I. : Chaminda Vaas gives Murali some respite. He's running in from over the wicket. :floor: :lol:

[Timtim]

L-)

You obviously know nothing of the jinx :wave:

[Antora]

bangladesh traling by 192 runs with 5 wickets remaining!!!!
who would have thought bd will improve this much?? i mean 1st innings 62...second innings 197/5!!!! big difference!!!!!! i think in the third test bd should bowl first!!! it seems to be that when bd bats second they score well!!!!

[sunny747]

this Sl bowling is too strong..............bowler ar komti nai.

[Dhurr]

200 up.

[Aritro]

I agree, but don't think he will, or CAN do any worse than HaBa (who'll probably still play, albeit lower down the batting order).

Tushar does not have the technique to make more than 25 against this lot no matter what the situation.

At least with Bashar, there's precedent that suggests he can.

[tiger_omar]

I think Ash and Mushfiq changed their mentality in their batting approach after lunch, as they probably see a chance to extend the match into day 4 if they play sensibly and don't throw away their wickets. I like this approach, but hopefully they can maintain their concentration throughout the innings.

[sunny747]

"Finally some resistance from Bangladesh. It is praiseworthy considering the amount of pressure Ashraful had to put up with this morning. Well played! Just don't lose your cool!," says Asif Iqbal.

[One World]

200 uppp

[battye]

Dilshan will be brought in to bowl some gentle offbreak soon I think.

[Sumon77]

200/5

[sunny747]

I think Ash and Mushfiq changed their mentality in their batting approach after lunch, as they probably see a chance to extend the match into day 4 if they play sensibly and don't throw away their wickets. I like this approach, but hopefully they can maintain their concentration throughout the innings.

anyway we will lose the match.......i would better vote for their personal score rather than taking the match to the 4th day.....just play aggressive and score runs.

[cricketboy]

amen.

[Antora]

wooo 200!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PoorFan]

Btw, Abdul Jalil decided to retire from politics.

200 for BD, well done.

[BD-Shardul]

79-5 to 200-5 wow

[battye]

If only this had happened in the first innings, this could have turned into quite a game.

[tiger_omar]

anyway we will lose the match.......i would better vote for their personal score rather than taking the match to the 4th day.....just play aggressive and score runs.

Don't you think that if they can help our team get into the 4th day that they would be adding more runs to their personal score? They would be scoring but also frustrating the SL bowlers as they are doing now by playing patiently.

[sunny747]

<!--StartFragment -->Btw, Abdul Jalil decided to resign from politics.

200 for BD, well done.

ar koto........

[cricketboy]

Mashrafe ajke 50 korte parle we can make SL bat again.

[cricketboy]

Majrekar BD supporter, Tony Greig SLer.

[Sovik]

lets hope they don't loose their cool

[Timtim]

loosing concentration...same shot twice with such heavy gully and slip....they need to bat longer, not score more runs

a wicket is soon to fall

[sunny747]

Don't you think that if they can help our team get into the 4th day that they would be adding more runs to their personal score? They would be scoring but also frustrating the SL bowlers as they are doing now by playing patiently.

i think bd batsmen are better in scoring runs than just knocking. If they just play defensive and doesn't score, might help us to go to the 4th day but i guess we won't achieve anything. I would be happy to see them score century today and than will make our score nearly 300 by today...just about more 100 runs in 47 over which is possible..........
But you could be right too.

[Dhurr]

great shot from shafu.

[cricket_dorshok]

Btw, Abdul Jalil decided to retire from politics.

200 for BD, well done.

58.4 Muralitharan to Mushfiqur Rahim, FOUR, Mushfiqur charges down the track and lofts Murali over midwicket, his didn't hit that right out of the middle but it falls just inside the ropes

[BanCricFan]

This landmark partnership from a 23 and an 18-year old will give us the elbow room BCB needs to correct itself.

Well, Ash is still 22 until july 7th. can he take this game to his birth day?? my mind just running a bit wild here;)

that would be såååå finttt!!!

[Shafin]

27 more for Skip,37 for Mushi

[Sohel]

That cover drive was NOT risky btw.

[battye]

This is the best partnership for any wicket for the Bangladeshis. They have beaten the previous best held by Aminul Islam and Ashraful.

Is that right? I would have thought there would have been others higher than 130 odd. :-/

[Electrequiem]

Ash 23 runs away from playing a marvelous captain's knock.

[nzfan]

yeah theres one 187 for the 2nd wicket

[battye]

lol Sangakkara isnt a keeper anymore, he hasnt been for awhile.... (as in months)

How come? Wasn't he keeper in the World Cup final?

And what is his new fielding position?

[Shafin]

Well, Ash is still 22 until july 7th. can he take this game to his birth day?? my mind just running a bit wild here;)

that would be såååå finttt!!!
May Allah Help us
