Oh no Mohammed bhai, how can BTV do that? I thought as there is no political government this time, there would be no problem for BTV to broadcast this series but still they couldn't come out from their usual habits. Now where can we millions of Bangladeshi fans here watch this series? We also don't have a very high speed internet connection in Bangladesh so that we can watch on the net, so it seems we have no hopes alive to watch this series.

I knew no one is going to broadcast in BD. Real bad man. BD's last tour to AUS the tests were not broadcast by anyone but ODIs were probably broadcast by BTV as far as I can recall.

Guys is star cricket available in BD yet. Surely someone hs figured out how to get it.

Well, after seeing Australia's performance against AIS a few days ago, I think we might just have a chance. Australians team bowled out for 177 (AIS bowled out for 123) - we managed more than that in each one our 4 outings. Its time for our lTigers to eat this big kangaroo alive!

To those who are getting a little pumped up seeing the Aussies get bundled out for 177 against AIS, all the practice matches we played against them were at the Gardens Oval whereas the Australia vs AIS match was played at the Marrara Cricket Ground where according to cricinfo report batting was a lot harder due to the slow nature of the pitch and this is where the series is gonna be played so "we managed more than that in each one of our 4 outings" is not wise thinking.

On a different note, the apparently slow pitch might be good news for our slower bowlers!

Star cricket is available but I don't think they will show this series as they are too busy all the time showing India's matches one after another. I think if there is any channel from which we can watch, then that would be super sports. They usually cover all the international matches that goes around the world, they also showed the whole series which we played against the kiwis in 2007-08. So, lets keep our fingers crossed as it is the only hope we have for this series.

abu2abu · #**132** August 29, 2008, 04:14 AM

The Cricinfo preview have this as the Bangladesh batting line up:

1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Mehrab Hossain jnr, 3 Mohammad Ashraful (capt), 4 Raqibul Hasan, 5 Shakib al Hasan, 6 Alok Kapali, 7 Dhiman Ghosh (wk), 8 Mashrafe Mortaza, 9 Abdur Razzak, 10 Nazmul Hossain, 11 Shahadat Hossain.

Is this official?

Razi

you may be right. Lets hope for that to be happen. Star sport's chance of showing is still there as they don't have India's tour to SL's broadcast right. It is Ten sports and they are showing it.

cricket_king · #**134** August 29, 2008, 04:16 AM

It seems that a lot of the members here are confident that we can pull off an upset on Saturday. I'd hate to be a party pooper, but if you all haven't noticed, we haven't played at that ground even once on this tour. It's naive to think that just because we scored more on smaller, more flat ground, we're going to suddenly destroy the bowling attack of the best side in the world.

Nonetheless, that first match is probably our best chance of that upset. Good luck boys. PLEASE save some face.

I know Ten Sports is showing the series between Srilanka and India. But star cricket will be busy showing other India matches, for example t20 WC or Asia Cup or maybe even some old Indian matches. So no reason hoping on them to show the series, lets instead hope that super sports will broadcast it.

The opponent is a minnow in Bangladesh, which has not beaten a Test-playing nation in one-day cricket since rolling India in the 2007 World Cup

Just when I was getting excited about a Chinese brotha' in Aussie land following the game of cricket, he decides to disappoint me.

Well, the quote is not exactly true! We did win against SA in one day cricket, SINCE rolling India in the 2007 world cup. Wish THIS FACT take away some load of your disappointment,no?

Banglavision guys must have failed to trace Siddon's girlfriend, hence went for easy target I guess.
