Who will win the 2nd test?

just want to know your opinion.

mahbubH · #2 July 19, 2009, 02:19 AM

WI in 4 days.

auntu · #3 July 19, 2009, 02:23 AM

So far WI's probabily is high at close of 2nd day.
There is no way this test will be a draw. To do that Boycott and Adrian Griffith would be needed.

Bro, I rekon it's gunno be Bdesh. The reason why I say that is that obviosuly our spinners will stomp there authoritys over the windies batsmen. But if you was analysing our 1st innings batting you would be able to realise that almost every single batsmen in our team made a start but then just couldn't carry on. I would infact argue it wasnt a full batting collapse, each batsmen had his fair share in the number of balls faced. However, we need to make these starts into bigges.. such as 50 en 100's.

Bdesh cricket problem was before too many ducks en single digit number, but now i think its the probs of us not capatilising on these good starts in batting. Look at Rakib en mushy 4 instance. I have a feeling that bdesh will learn frm this pretty quickly and a few century makers will be under our belt.

P.S. I really hope one of those century makers is Ashraful- boy we all complain at him, but have u realised how happy teams get once they get this boy out. He's a dangerous player for us, so come on Ashraful i am gonna cheer u on for reaching a big score. Did he really cry after being dismissed? if thats the case, thats wats gunno keep happening if we dont support our players but oppositly critice them. Guyz wats the meaning of supporter of bangladesh cricket. The word supporter suggests you should like en support every aspect of our cricket. Please dont insult these guyz.

Bangladesh....

Baundule · #7 July 19, 2009, 03:07 AM

I think, Bangladesh will still win. WI can not play spin and they are skilled in throwing wickets away even more than us. Overall, it will be a neck-to-neck fight and whoever loses the wicket throwing contest will win the match.

cricket bd · #8 July 19, 2009, 06:06 AM

good or bad my support is there,

Antora · #9 July 19, 2009, 06:10 AM

At this stage it seems like WI. But how can I not vote for BAngladesh? plus WI aren't very strong at spin..sooo we have a chance

Yameen · #10 July 19, 2009, 07:14 AM

Tough to say but with 3 days left there will be a winner unless rain intervenes..

simon · #11 July 19, 2009, 07:47 AM

atm it looks like WI will win it bt we still got hope with our spinners.
The prblm is that they are alrdy 60 odd runs ahead with 9 wckts.
And it's quite pssble for them to add more 200 runs.
So finally chasing 260+ can be dffclt for our btsmn.

Miraz · #12 July 19, 2009, 07:55 AM

WI will win the Test unless we can restrict them within 250.

Tigers_eye · #13 July 19, 2009, 07:56 AM

Hopefully we can restrict them below 250. Then it is ours. Anything over that we will not be happy campers after the test.

Today boys need to be patient and concentrate.

I disagree.....BD will win unless WI crosses 250.

PoorFan · #15 July 19, 2009, 08:52 AM

Now that BD exposed their weakness against WI short balls and bouncers, it will be very tough scoring runs. We dont have players who can play pull, hook shots well, no Bashar, no Aftab, no Ash of those days! On the other hand WI batters will not lose their wiclets against spin bowl like they did in 1st innings I guess. I will very proud if the boys win this test from here and as a full strength test team ... they should.

abz..+ · #16 July 19, 2009, 08:55 AM

bangladesh will win

zainab · #17 July 19, 2009, 12:47 PM

If BD can bowl them out for under 200 runs and bat sensibly, they can win this test, but knowing the batsmen, anything is possible, just hoping that they do not throw caution to the wind, and try their shots, they should know there are 2 full days ahead.

Baundule · #18 July 19, 2009, 04:16 PM

WI are 197 ahead now with 2 more wickets in hand.
I think they have already had enough runs to win it unless we bat extra-ordinarily well. Many of us are thinking that 250 might be a walk in the park. But remember we scored only 230+ in the first innings even with the help of some tail ender resistance. You may think about the 2nd innings of the first test. But Tamim scored bulk of those runs and he was let off at least twice. A realistic chance is, we may chase 150, given we bat as usual and WI do not drop too many catches.

The only hope I have is on WI. They are a crappy team and will drop some catches for sure. Good luck, Bangladesh!

banindfan · #19 July 19, 2009, 04:32 PM

What if it rains for 5 sessions

nycpro96 · #20 July 19, 2009, 04:42 PM

Bangladesh is going to win.

Roni_uk · #21 July 19, 2009, 06:50 PM

Bangladesh will not be able to make 220 let alone 250. Unfortunate but true. Story of our sorry team!
Now except the reality.

Fazal · #22 July 19, 2009, 08:42 PM

...the hind side is always 20-20.

- Let it be written.

Akib · #24 July 19, 2009, 10:14 PM

Me thinks we will win.... yet somehow with this rain, anything is possible.

Murad · #25 July 19, 2009, 10:31 PM

Damn.. We have way too many pessimists in this forum!!

We will win the game, Inshallah
