This match will be interesting. Will WI win and secure a whitewash or will Bangladesh avoid a whitewash?

We cannot avoid any wash. The losing streak continues.

[DMan]

If this is the best you guys think you can do then the Test match will be absolutely brutal.

Brutal?
10 wickets in two match in total. That is what I expect.

Catastrophic then?

IF you guys bowl first then you have the advantage of not bowling when the dew sets in the night. It will be difficult to hold the ball later on in the evening when that happens.

big, Big, BIG mistake on our part to bat first. By now we should know that bowling last in a day night match is trouble especially holding that moist ball. Now I am nervous.

This is my 25,000 post here. Rest assured, don't be nervous. We will find a way to shock you even more.

So far the shock factor in both games are off the chart.

Thanks Mahmood and Tehsin.

And the rest of you too.

Thanks Donal.

Mominul needed this practice before the test. I just hope the bowlers don't get hammered for 350+. This is a small field and Gayle is merciless in such grounds with ball doing nothing. Tame outs from BD batsmen wouldn't surprise me.

[Equinox]

I thought this was a small ground so would it not have made sense to drop Gazi/Razzak for Taskin/Rubel?

[roman]

WI is batting first. Get ready for Gayle Dhamaka

Ajkeo Taskin ke ney nai. Way to ruin a youngsters confidence

Man, watching a fully fit Koushik bowling his opening spell is pure, unadulterated joy for any Bangladeshi fan of this format. The exact opposite is true when he bowls at death. That's why there's only one Mashrafe Bin Mortaza!

[Sohel]

Good start from Hossain. Maiden over.

[DMan]

WOAH! Maiden over and WI are reeling at 7/1 in 3.2 overs.

[Sohel]

Koushik strikes. One can always count on a fully fit Mortaza to deliver early breakthroughs in his opening spell. One of the best opening spell bowlers in ODIs IMHO.
