Well I saw Ravi Shastri's interview before they left, and he was choking in front of the camera. He can be a better actor than coach, coz when he was choking, he was acting as if it's damn serious. You know that moody nods of your head? That's the type he had. He wasn't even making eye contacts with anybody, and wasn't looking at the camera.

Anyway, I just want BD to win the series. May be we will, may be we won't. But regardless, Bangladesh is better than India...and that's a fact. So India, LIVE WITH IT.

cum on tigers you can beat them!!!

Dun think we are going to win this series or even a match... but what the hell, lets atleast see a brilliant innings from Tamim or Nafees. The indians are going to be coming hard at us and the Bangladeshi players do not really have that mental toughness to stop that onslought. Oh well, future will be different that's all i can say and hope for

I won't be surprised if Sachin comes running to the security asking for help, coz someone attacked him with an aluminium bati...which will turn out to be a fokir asking for bhikka.

I dreamed last night that Bashar scored 85 in the first match, but everyone else sucked.

When Bashar scores, he usually scores quickly, I think you're confusing him with Javed.

Bad time to arrange this series, as now either it's too heat or rains/kal boishaki
Not sure how they will play but we will have trouble in test as our team had no practice in longer version of game, all they did is net practice or ODIs' played in WC.

Sohel · #15 May 7, 2007, 09:32 AM

the indians look positively constipated in the local news... i can imagine the pressure.

this crazy heat can't possibly work in anyone's favor. lets hope its starts to ease up a little by the time the match days come around.

sehwag getting passed 30 is bad news for any team except his own... zero technique, exceptional hand-eye coordination once he starts seeing the ball. luckily, he doesn't see the swing coming into him too well during the first 5 overs. early breakthough involving him is the key. unfortunately, the pitch at SBNS is totally frigid... but i still think mash will take him during his first 3 overs, if he can somehow generate a little swing by hitting closer to 140kmph...
