The image shows up on your browser because it is in your cache. That image is protected from being embedded in other sites. Shall I replace it with a similar old Dhaka picture?

PS, you'll have to change your iSpy questions.

Had i known earlier Pont was coaching Dhaka, I would have supported Dhaka Gladiators...oh well...!!

should be an interesting game, in T20 it is always interesting/fun! you can have eight wickets in hand and 20 runs to chase in two overs and still lose....hah! on the other hand you can have 1 wicket left and 30 runs to chase in three overs and still win. One dot ball changes everything. That's why T20 is so exciting!

[Rifat]

Any way, a good report from Ian before the game:

Views from the Edge: Dateline Chittagong
Ian Pont

He reports from Chittagong on the eve of the 2nd phase of the BPL campaign. "Regardless of the way the games go, we are trying to base our whole ethos on good management of players and maintaining a healthy spirit in the camp. Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."

What has been a bit hard to follow are the constant comings and goings of overseas players. It looks like teams are trying to bring players in to help them boost their results and we have a change in competition rules during the tournament about additional players. It appears that squads can be extended further than the original 18 and there are rumours flying around about who might or might not be coming in for other sides. Some fresh faces have suddenly started to arrive. The fact remains that the Dhaka Gladiators are still with the original 18 players chosen at auction, with 16 currently here as has been the case throughout with both Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal to join us for the semi-finals and finals, should we make it that far. This has always been the case and has been our position from the beginning when the player auction first took place.

That's a false statement Ian, I have seen Mehrab Jr and another player (who were not part of the original squad) in DG's dug out in the last few matches, in fact Mehrab is playing today, so how come you got only 16 players?

Bro read it again, Ian said they didn't have any additional players to their squad after the new rule made by BPL Governing Council, that's why I asked if that is the case how come players like Mehrab Jr is playing who was not part of the original squad?
