Match Thread: Bangladeshis vs Northern Knights, Tour Match, NZ at Hamilton, December 16, 2007

[Nafis_BD]

79 for 2 of 22.4 overs. Slow start but as long as Ash and Zunaed stay there I am predicting a good score!!

[mildwind]

great work by zunaed..keep it up

[Game On]

Atleast Zunaid is better than Nazimuddin ............

[Omio]

Zunayed is the man..

[Omio]

i belive the useless tushar made only 8!

He will do better next time...okay

[Game On]

We don't need runs as we just need the wickets then pagla comes & can change everything ;

[MohammedC]

Since all of us here read what I found stuff.co.nz

Bangladesh trainer tries out some new tricks (http://www.stuff.co.nz/4326041a10133.html)


An Australian who has replaced compatriot Dav Whatmore in one of cricket's toughest coaching gigs, Siddons kitted out net bowlers in black jerseys, then shortened the pitch to 18 yards for a simulated game at the national stadium.
"I've always wanted to do that. So I said bugger it, I am in charge now, so I will," the disarming Siddons told the Sunday Star-Times after Bangladesh arrived in Auckland this week, where they were greeted at the airport by flower-laden expats.

[metallian]

Zunayed is the man..

he is really confident. i like his style

[tonoy]

good running now. rotate the strike.

[mildwind]

current run rate is 3.5......which is not bad if we can have our wickets in hand...the innings is only half way gone

[Omio]

woooow grt..
how did u guys findout radio commentry.. u guys r awesome..

[Antora]

He will do better next time...okay

next time? i hope there is no next time for toooshar! useless ekta player

[Game On]

He will do better next time...okay

He only will play good in the test matches .

Tamim scored only 12 & Tushar 8 ......Such a shame !!!!!!!!!!!!

[MohammedC]

coach is confident about his batting and fielding

"I guess batting and fielding are the two things I do pretty well, and coach pretty well," he says. "But I've only had seven sessions with the boys so far, so I don't think any magic will be coming from the boys that I introduce, it will all be their own magic."

[Omio]

cracinfo r really slow..

[Beamer]

This Zunaid has good temperament, doesn't he? I bet he will score a ODI century before many othrs playing right now. Just have a good feel about him and you know he can hit pretty well..

[Game On]

he is really confident. i like his style

He's more like Ganguly , can't forget his sixes against Pakistan :).............

So much force like dada as always .

82/2

[Farhad]

83/2

[Rumz_01]

it is amazingly cold!!!!

on a briter note...tigerz doin great..keep it up!!!

[Rizvi]

cracinfo r really slow..

http://livescoring.blackcaps.co.nz/nojs/match216/summary/

This scorecard is pretty fast

[mildwind]

83/2 24 over

[Rumz_01]

He's more like Ganguly , can't forget his sixes against Pakistan :).............

So much force like dada as always .

82/2

Ganguly is one hell of a cricketer!

[Rizvi]

Wow...This is so much better than those Zimbabwe series!!! Live Radio..unbelievable...not to mention, their own scorecards

[Murad]

they are rotating the strikes very well..

4 singles from 4 balls

[Game On]

Kiwis are already worried today as they are gonna get trashed by the Aussies today !!!!!!!!!!

[MohammedC]

87/2 after 25

[KnightBD]

We don't need runs as we just need the wickets then pagla comes & can change everything ;
:floor:

[Antora]

87/2.. bd need to increase their run rate just a little

[nasimul]

time to accelarate rr

[Game On]

Wow...This is so much better than those Zimbabwe series!!! Live Radio..unbelievable...not to mention, their own scorecards

They have always been doing these radio commentry for domestic matches & Australia shows it on Foxtel :)........

Run rate is very slow now too .

[tonoy]

what the hell is going on? run rate needs to be above 4. we do plan to win right?

[Murad]

guys. don't worry about the run rates

this match is for the players to get used to the conditions...of newzeland pitches... so as long as they stay on the wicket. its fine..

[MohammedC]

4444444444

[tonoy]

edged 4444.

[Beamer]

Boys also raised the flag prior to the game to appreciate the Victory day.

[mildwind]

4 to ash

[Antora]

[rubel_18]

Ash gets a 4

[shaad]

edged for 4 by Ash

[Murad]

lucky 4 from ash.

[nasimul]

4 by ash

[Game On]

Siddons already made an impression in this match !!!!!!!!!!

We only lost 2 wickets .

Kiwis are in the trouble for the test series for sure .

[damalChele]

Our new coach is working on a new strategy. DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR WICKET. It's working so far. 25 overs gone and 2 down. Not too bad. I think thats the right attitude. Not too aggressive at this stage. Once you have wickets at hand you can be audacious and play those risky shots towards the end. So far so good.

[MohammedC]

94/2 from 26 over

[tonoy]

4444?

[MohammedC]

Ash taking chances

[Beamer]

what the hell is going on? run rate needs to be above 4. we do plan to win right?

Tricky wkt and its our first game there. So, the approach should be to face as many balls as possible, which they are doing. No complains. If wkt stays, we will score a lot towards the end..

[Kabir]

anyone in the chatroom? I'll only log in if there's people.

[shaad]

Nice 4 by Ash

True. But then again, we're playing a weaker opponent.

I guess I'll go for only adjusting to the local conditions as an outcome of this. Screw the result of the match.

[nasimul]

103/2 after 27

[Game On]

That's the way to play the cricket match ;

We need to score 280 then they can't beat us for sure .

[Beamer]

Ash really is a class above than anyone we have. I never worry when he doesn't score in NCL's though he should dominate those bowlers.

[Antora]

woot woot 100... way to go team! we are gonna win this victory day match! ( i think)

[Murad]

current partnership 39 off 56 balls

[metallian]

woot woot 100... way to go team! we are gonna win this victory day match! ( i think)
lol i hope u r right. im listening to this instead of studying for final. we better win!

[Murad]

It's not a weak team Kabir bhai.. Vettory plays for this team. This one of the leading state team.

[Game On]

NZ just need to loose all the matches against the Aussies then they would be scared as well .

[mildwind]

RR is going up steadily...3.74

[Game On]

It's not a weak team Kabir bhai.. Vettory plays for this team. This one of the leading state team.

Vettori si worst than Rafique for sure .

[MohammedC]

105/2

Ash 26 of 29 ball

[Beamer]

Junaid too inactive right now.

[tonoy]

ah feels like a test match so far.

[mildwind]

True. But then again, we're playing a weaker opponent.

I guess I'll go for only adjusting to the local conditions as an outcome of this. Screw the result of the match.

I think that it is a practice match for BD to get their attitude right for the rest of the tour and get used to the playing condition....strenght of the opponent is not vital

[Antora]

lol i hope u r right. im listening to this instead of studying for final. we better win!

lol who cares about studying when crickets on!!! hehe
but im gonna miss most of the match:(.. going to a victory day celebration program soon

[Rumz_01]

i guess im nt the only one, ditching studying for cricket! wicked!

[Murad]

Junaid stoopped hitting after ASh came in..

[tonoy]

study koro. or else you might regret this action later on.

[rubel_18]

i guess im nt the only one, ditching studying for cricket! wicked!

lol I guess not

[metallian]

lol who cares about studying when crickets on!!! hehe
but im gonna miss most of the match:(.. going to a victory day celebration program soon

aww :( u should do a victory dance @ the victory celebration if we win.. :P

[Game On]

NZ is not the good team anymore while Mcmillan , Astle , Crains , Fleming & Bond missing from their odi .

They are just as good as us these days !!!!!!!!!

[mildwind]

zunaed is on 48 and on strike

[nasimul]

108/2 after 29

:flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag:

[Game On]

Zunaid gonna be next GANGULY in the future . Watch out guys !!!!!!!

[Antora]

guys is this the best we have ever done? i mean we only lost 2 wickets and we are 113....normally we would be something like 60/4...im liking this imporvement! we are gonna white wash those kiwis! MUHAHAHA! ( cough cough)

[tonoy]

53 from94 ball is pretty slow.

[Nafis_BD]

I like this new strategy. It's better than 100 of 15 overs with 5 wickets gone!!!

[Beamer]

Zunaid gonna be next GANGULY in the future . Watch out guys !!!!!!!

I prefer Hayden..

[Antora]

woot woot zooooooonad on 50! yay!

[nasimul]

50 partnership

[Game On]

260 is enough to win on this pitch but 280 will secure it .

[MohammedC]

Partnership now 50

[Kabir]

Not really, we've had better performances. WC '98 when we beat Pak, our opening pair scored a mammoth 100 something. I forgot the actual figures...will dig it out in a bit.

[nasimul]

Zunaed should convert it to big one

[metallian]

I like this new strategy. It's better than 100 of 15 overs with 5 wickets gone!!!

agreed. but we're less feared by the bowlers

[BD-Shardul]

Actually Junaed wants to ensure his place in test squad too...so he is showing that he can switch gear from ODI to test.

Or, BD think tank might have chnged the strategy suddenly. They are thinking that since there will be no three day practice match, use this one as Test match. We can show our true skin on actual ODIs, so taking this match as a Test will be a blessing in disguise. Poor N knights just don't understad the strategy of Tigers! ;)

[KnightBD]

wtg Juanid :fanflag:
wtg Ash :fire:

[Game On]

NZ is crap team these days , Mcmillan & Shane Bond are a great loss for them .

I was totally off. Which innings am I talking about then? I know there was one innings with Opi as an opener...and the opening partnership was HUGE.

Can anyone please correct me?

[metallian]

NZ is crap team these days , Mcmillan & Shane Bond are a great loss for them .

are they injured?

[IanW]

Tonoy,

They just got off a bloody plane and have never played in NZ before.

Zunaid has got some runs, and Ash has got a start. It's all good.

Ian Whitchurch

[MohammedC]

nearly a run out

[damalChele]

Ash should really score atleast 75 and Zunaed should score 115

[Farhad]

Hardly any regulars signed on tonight. Odd...

[nasimul]

Zunaed 58 from 100 balls

[Murad]

I was totally off. Which innings am I talking about then? I know there was one innings with Opi as an opener...and the opening partnership was HUGE.

Can anyone please correct me?

That was against Zimbabwe, Opi made a 100 on that match I guess

[Antora]

fewf! that was close... nealry run out!

[nasimul]

Ash gone

[Kabir]

Sohel bhai would've been jumping right now...missing his presence here at BC :)

Junaed seems to be one of the more technically correct batsmen we have in the team. That's what I remember Sohel bhai mention so many millions of times.

[shaad]

Ash out!

[Anher]

can anyone post scorecards please?

[tonoy]

ashraful gone ha ha ha

[damalChele]

Ash is gone

[metallian]

i hate when we get run out

[cricketboy]

1st ODI is on 26th..good for me I am going to vacation from 17th to 24 th. Also, good to see we have 4 warm up matches before the series starts. Hope it will help our batsman and bowlers to adjust to New Zealand conditions.

[damalChele]

[Miraz]

Zunaed have struck a six!!!

[Farhad]

Theyve tried this whole "slow" approach before to keep wickets. It hasnt worked yet, so Im not too optimistic about them pulling it off this time. They always fail when its time to accelerate...

Siddons refused to make any comments on any particular player so far sans one Junaid!

220 will be the final score I guess.

if zunayed stays then we can score 250 in 50 overs...otherwise it would be tough

No , I am gonna call him caz he has the best body language than others !!!!!!!!

[Electrequiem]

No , I am gonna call him caz he has the best body language than others !!!!!!!!

The match he played against Pakistan was not a joke for sure , just watch his shots in that match & think like me & others .

have you a link to the highlights?
