I forgave Bowler Ashraful.
Congrats Batsman Ashraful also never forget Aftab. He was there for all our big victories.

[Imtiazk]

I am in a meeting in Lisbon and sneaking in from time to time to see the score. I cannot believe what is going on.

Great bowling by Rasel and Razzak as expected. 4-0-10-1 , you cannot get better than that !

Ashraful and Aftab finally clicked together ! I suppose they clicked against SA in the World Cup.

[Anher]

Aftab makes his 50

Weldone! bravo!!!

[Yasin]

Probably Ashrasful or Aftab though I would have given it to Rasel. 4 overs, 10/1 against WI is damn good.

[Hatebreed]

Sakib hits a 4 off his favourite shot.

[Anher]

4444444444444444444444444444444444

8 runs in 24 balls. We will finish in this over insaAllah.

[Yasin]

Where is soccer mia? Look at how Shakib is batting before you marry

Lol..true yeah....at the same time take a look how he bowled the last over.

[BD-Shardul]

Probably Ashrasful or Aftab though I would have given it to Rasel. 4 overs, 10/1 against WI is damn good.

YES, it should go to Rasel. Outstanding bowling performance in T20.

[ASA]

What an ASH innings ... and the record would boost us too!!!

Aftab will finish it off in a second ... :up:

[sandpiper]

Aftab rocks .....

[Haider]

[Imtiazk]

who gets man of the match ?

1. Ashraful
2. Aftab
3. Rasel
4. D Smith
5. S Hasan

Clearly the fastest 50 in Twenty20 gets it. Though Rasel showed his sheer class again ! A good bowler is always a good bowler, even in test matches.

[sandpiper]

sakib gone at unlucky 13

Ashraful did better than him; sorry for him now.

[riad]

I think it should be Ash.
He gave the momentum ......

YES, it should go to Rasel. Outstanding bowling performance in T20.

[Haider]

crap... Saqib haven't learned to play cricket yet... he is still a baby

[Anher]

What a shot!!! but 3 runs....

[Yasin]

Lol..true yeah....at the same time take a look how he bowled the last over.

Said it to fast....but who cares...we are winning lol ! that matters !

[Haider]

Sarwan to Shakib, out Caught by Powell!! comes down the track and lofts it straight to Powell at long off, too little too late for the Windies who face early elimination in this inaugral T20 World Cup Shakib c Powell b Sarwan 13(9) [4s-1]

[Hatebreed]

Dammit Sakib... there was no need to play that shot.

[cricket_dorshok]

Aftab is my MOM

[Haider]

[reverse_swing]

3 runs more to win

[Yasin]

Lol..true yeah....at the same time take a look how he bowled the last over.

I think it should be Ash.
He gave the momentum ......

Yeah true...given the momentum to both the teams.

[Hatebreed]

ASH should be MOM. Rasel or Sakib can be DAD.

[Haider]

Aftab ..deserves the MOM for the highest scoring, Saqib deserves the MOM for 4 wickets..., and Ash deserves the MOM for making the fastest 50 and also showing the tru talent that he is.. Only one is the entire world.. he is our MJ

[BD-Shardul]

[Haider]

Aftab ..deserves the MOM for the highest scoring, Saqib deserves the MOM for 4 wickets..., and Ash deserves the MOM for making the fastest 50 and also showing the tru talent that he is.. Only one is the entire world.. he is our MJ

[shaoun]

great batting by ashraful. he made up with his batting today after giving 55 runs bowling 4 overs. no one is talking about it rightnow but if we would lose that would be the number 1 thing we would talk about. people would want ashraful to be removed. great game great batting but still ashraful shouldnt have bowled 4 overs where masrafee only bowled 2. ash is a batsman not a bowler.
happy to see we won though.

[Hatebreed]

ASHRAFUL is MOM!! Well done boy!! :)
