He deserved a 5-er yesterday, but Parkar had something different in mind. Bell would have been gone at 97. But its a part and parecl of these days bad umpiring. Sigh.
Its been such a long time since we last saw Mashrafe found his perfect rhythm and tune. He was spot on all thru the kiwi innings. Our cricket will be blessed as long as we get back our good old Mash!
