They should take Anamul Haque Vijaya with them.

Absolutely !

Very interesting.

What is even more interesting is that the Sinhalese hathmaluva might have had its origin in Bengali culture. (I'm not an authority on this subject.) The Sinhalese are said to be descendants of a Bengali prince who set foot on Sri Lankan soil around 543 BC, along with his entourage.

@Roye I told you, although it is not unanimous but general perception is that the Sinhala are descendants of Bengali and Odiya people.

Taste it before you make these comments.

Well said. You're absolutely right about hathmaluwa. This recipe dates back over 1500 years and is full of nutrients.

I'm sure that you have such recipes too derived from the rich Bengali culture.

[aklemalp]

Funny enough, I tried to find a food for SL, and whilst browsing I found this one, and it sounded like Hathursinghe...so, I grabbed on the opportunity to include this dish

[aklemalp]

7- number of BD batsmen to have scored a century against SL

11- number of centuries scored by BD batsmen against SL:
M. Ashraful has scored 5 of those 11. The others are Mushfiqur, Shakib, Imrul, Shamsur Rahman, Mominul Haque, and Nasir Hossain

Win the test series. All be happy. Past forgotten.

Then again, what’s there to be sad about losing a tri series final involving Zimbabwe as the 3rd team, come on. It’s bit obvious it be bd v sl final. If it was involving Pakistan or West Indies, now thst would’ve been a tougher much quality tri series, and if then lost would’ve hurt a bit because bd wernt guaranteed final, no offence to zimbros.


Anywa, back to this test. Win toss bat first. Get more than 500.

[Match Adda]

It will be a spice game of test .... too much intense will be there ... Bd players will be pumped up, sledging, tusha tushi.... all will be happening....
After all Bd fans needed that test ... now we will watch every ball of this test ...wish sakib was here.

[jeesh]

So guys do you prefer seeing BD select Razzak or gamble with young Naeem?

Nayeem all the way. SL have a few lefties in their top 7.

Even Naeem Islam is a better option than Raj.

[ReZ_1]

Give the recipe for bhapa chingri and halawala.. lets see which one is more difficult to beat...

btw.. herath is licking his lips to eat us(bhapa chingri) alive...

[epitaph]

anyone who thinks we've a half-decent chance of winning the first test with only two decent bowlers is deluding themselves.

our batting might be comparable, but their attack is much better, and on paper, ours isn't good enough to pick 20 wickets.

might be worth watching only to find out how riyad captains and how well mosaddek bats.

[Fazal]

A win? Selectors, Raazak, Chacha and Riyad ...All will be hero again.

A close loss? Some will avoid the heat but some will continue to burn

A lopsided loss? All will feel the pressure.


No pressure.... we don't care who plays or not.... as long as they give us a good fight and may be a win.

You are very welcome bro.
I'm from Colombo, Sri Lanka and I've been following cricket from my early childhood. I've been in this forum since July 19, 2005 - coming up 13 years.

bherry phunny . He used to swing it quite well during Pont's time. not sure what happened.

[Rifat]

my XI:

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Imrul Kayes
3. Mominul Haque
4. Mushfiqur Rahim
5. Mahmudullah Riyad(c)
6. Mosaddek Hossain
7. Litton Das(wk)
8. Mehedi Hasan Miraz
9. Mustafizur Rahman
10. Taijul Islam
11. Rubel Hossain

Mominul Haque can bowl decent SLA, he can be the third spinner. I think this is a decent squad. Even though I would have preferred Subhashis Roy and Nurul Hasan in the Squad. can't do much about the Shakib Situation i guess. contrary to what many people think I think Bangladesh has what it takes to win this, even with this squad. What happened in the Tri Series was, we were playing with 2/3 players short every match, it was Tamim + Shakib who set the tempo/bailed us out with the rest chipping in. Bangladesh got a little too complacent in the final two matches and paid the price. It happens! time to move on.

Best possible lineup under current circumstances.

Although i think team management may consider someone else for Taijul. But who knows maybe this was Taijul's opportunity to step up. Surely must have picked at least a thing or two from Sunil Joshi?
