The headline on Cricinfo sounds quite encouraging, 'Murali gives SL the edge in spin battle'.

[gunda]

Whatever i hope the BD batsmen can handle murali.. i don't wana see the morning headline in cricinfo: Murali Distroy's Bangladesh

Look at this guys:

"His defense is a lot better now. He just needs to use them in the right time. He can play all the shots in the book, but when he plays them, he sometimes falls into trouble. It's time for him to be consistent and he knows that. I don't believe in what had happened in the past. I believe in what will happen. He still needs to score like every other batsman tomorrow. There are four or five other batsmen batting in front of him and they need to score too."

Hmmm, maybe this is hinting that Ash will move down the order!

[Nadim]

wow...is he angry?

[Rommel]

Miraz Bhai, don't you think it is kind of strange how SuperSport in SA is broadcasting the match even tho South Africa has its own match the same day? Wouldn't SuperSport rather broadcast the SA match then our match?

[Nadim]

BTW K.Sangakara is still on doubt for the match. hope he is not fit

Supersport has 3 channels to broadcast cricket. They cover almost every Test match played in different parts of the world.

[mijanur]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. that means it will show in internet

[detroitpagla]

Guys we're going to play 8 batsmen and I really hope we can score atleast 200 runs or restrict them under 600 runs

[cricman]

Who Do you think is going to commentate?

I have a feeling we might see Shahriar Nafees in the booth

[LateCut]

CI reports that there is now review system for referal. Is this true?

"With an overdose of spin expected, there will be plenty of enquiries and the umpires will be under immense pressure to get their decisions spot on, with no referrals system to lean on. "
