ENG vs BDA - Day 1 - Page 4

AGC · #76 October 16, 2003, 02:18 AM

See, thats what I mean by our best players performing poorly! Javed Omar and Rajin Saleh were supposed to be the ones to hang on! Typical. Watch the wickets fall one by one now....

I was in my class when I saw BD A were on 57 for 2, and after returning to class I saw BD A are 128 for 3 and Rajin Saleh got out just a few minutes ago.

I am simply speechless. Bhashay Prokash Korar Moto Na.

I'd really like Nazimuddin to play an innings of substance. Aftab has shown some signs of what he can do, so has Nafees, now its Nazim's turn. Unfortunately Moniruzzaman had to miss out on the fun.

CricInfo seems to be stuck at the same score as everything else.

I just realized that Arnab is up as well. Darn.

Arnab · #85 October 16, 2003, 02:52 AM

Yes. But I am doing my homework on sampling and aliasing of digital signals as well.

**Tehsin** · #86 October 16, 2003, 02:52 AM

Arafat, Rubel (Mosaddek) and Sumit (Fahim) are all all-rounders of Shujon standards when it comes to batting. If we get lucky, they might add 30-60 runs between them.

Carte Blanche · #87 October 16, 2003, 02:53 AM

Disappointing show by Nazim. 165/4 after 50 overs.

Good thing is Nafis scored a ton. Cheers Kiddo.

**Tehsin** · #88 October 16, 2003, 02:54 AM

Nafis 108*, Fahim 0*

chinaman · #89 October 16, 2003, 02:55 AM

Nafees 108 NO !

Sham · #90 October 16, 2003, 02:56 AM

Nazim was run out so we can't really say much about that. Good show by Nafees. But I hate looking at scorecards where one person does all the scoring and all the others get out for 12.

**Tehsin** · #91 October 16, 2003, 03:04 AM

Can't wait to see what Nafis does in the second innings. Hate to say this but we may want to try Nafis in place of Golla in the first test. We can bring Golla at three. I know that it will upset the balance of team but trying out a potential won't hurt our chances.

Also, this isn't based on just one performance - I have been eager to see Nafees in national colors for over a year now.

Sham · #92 October 16, 2003, 03:12 AM

I wouldnt mind it either. Tehsin bhai makes a good point. Just because number 6 is our problem doesn't mean we need a number six batsman. We can have Nafees open with Hannan, drop Golla down to 3 or 4, depending on whether Sumon wants to hold on to 3 or not, and have Rajin and Alok bat 5 and 6 like they did against Pakistan. Then Mashud, Mahmud, Masri, Tapash and Rafiq.

Whatever, I seriously hope they take a genuine batsman instead of Mushfiq.

**Tehsin** · #93 October 16, 2003, 03:13 AM

Nafis Iqbal c Thorpe b Batty 118 0 168 14 1

Sham · #94 October 16, 2003, 03:13 AM

The spinners are into the act and both have got a wicket. Nafees out for 118. Excellent effort, deserves to be in the selector's thoughts for the first Test.

**Tehsin** · #95 October 16, 2003, 03:16 AM

What Mushfiq can do, Shujon and Kapali can do better. However, an extra batsmen will increase our scoring option. I just don't see Mushfiq even picked for the A team for a first class tour, so it's hard for me to digest the posibility of him playing test cricket (if he plays - I'll be behind him 100%).

Mushfiq does help our one day side, but not the test side.

Sham · #96 October 16, 2003, 03:16 AM

we could have given Tushar a try in this match. We are trying out six bowlers, Sunny, Fahim, Rubel, Aziz, Talha and Kabir. Half of them have no chance of getting into the Test side. We should have given Tushar some match practice.

kkakash · #97 October 16, 2003, 03:17 AM

nafis made 108 runs....

batman !!! i Think we found our new opener <<<-- said ROBIN. hehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehe:P

Arnab · #98 October 16, 2003, 03:18 AM

Beware the ghost of Ash

**Tehsin** · #99 October 16, 2003, 03:20 AM

We would not have to worry about our batting if Ash used some sense - he is not Vaughn or even Sumon but atleast a 30-40 average from that kid isn't much to ask, is it ?

Arnab · #**100** October 16, 2003, 03:22 AM

it is. he is a one hit wonder.
