Match thread: BD vs Ind Test: One, Day: Three

[Beamer]

Yes..a lefty or two will be great in the top order. Do we have any? Irfan is not as good to a lefty. And ..yes..he is indeed very good.

[mahbubH]

I think best lefty batsman of BD is Rana ...

[PoorFan]

And those dropped catches:

If you get a chance, make sure you see the dropped catches in this match. I don't think I have ever seen in my life anything like it. What are our coaches doing? They are weak fundamentally. Takes wrong angles in slips. Misjudges skiers. Drops sitters. Astonishing. Best one was when Rana dropped Ganguly in the slips. They caught him napping in the slips with his hands on his knees, not cupped in a catching position, even after the ball left ganguly's bat. So, when he reacted, it was too late. ganguly was on 14!

Thats what they call professionalism, commitment and temperament.
No one can change or fix them if they don't understand the real meaning of those.
