Wow! I can't believe this! Didn't expect this at all from a team of mostly under 19's! Go BD cricket! We are on our way to the top. I think in this series, we will stop the losing streak.

We need Anwar Munir and Enamul Junior in our Test team. What a pair it will be - Rafique and Enamul Junior!

Spoiling the good works, are we?

We're 22/3 in 10 overs.

Hands over the hanky.

fwullah · #32 October 13, 2003, 06:10 AM

It seems that we need Dave Whatmore also to coach our U-19 team.

Weeeelllll its not toooo bad... I mean they did more than it was expected of them... they r still learning...

Hasib · #35 October 13, 2003, 08:09 AM

Heres one that Chinaman missed

Ehsan · #36 October 13, 2003, 08:47 AM

We suck in batting. So much was expected from Hannan and Nafis and see what the hell they did; 7 and 0. Its good that we haven't included Nafis in our natinal squad. Let him learn and make him wait another two years at least just like Rajin.

fwullah · #37 October 13, 2003, 09:06 AM

Only Mushfique is surviving! Lets see how long he can survive tomorrow.

I expected Hannan to do a bit more than what he did, actually was expecting something in the region of 20s if not a fifty.

Kalbaisakhi · #38 October 13, 2003, 09:35 AM

Give them Time.

And they give you the right Form.

Upal · #39 October 13, 2003, 10:07 AM

Well, now it looks like the pitch has something in it for the bowlers. The first test match will certainly be a result match unless rain interferes for more than a session or two.

chinaman · #40 October 13, 2003, 10:23 AM

England's Mark Butcher resumes at the crease on day two alongside Marcus Trescothick, but Butcher is dismissed with the total on 127

chinaman · #41 October 13, 2003, 10:24 AM

Former captain Nasser Hussain joins Trescothick at the crease and the pair struggle to build a partnership

chinaman · #42 October 13, 2003, 10:25 AM

Hussain falls in the next over for lbw after battling through 19 overs for his 17 runs, as England suffer a middle-order collapse

chinaman · #43 October 13, 2003, 10:25 AM

Chris Read and Gareth Batty attempt to restore some composure to the England innings and share a seventh-wicket stand of 55, Read making 43

chinaman · #44 October 13, 2003, 10:26 AM

The partnership is broken when Batty is bowled by left-arm spinner Nadif Chowdrey and the tail soon follows leaving England all-out for 253

chinaman · #45 October 13, 2003, 10:27 AM

England's opening bowlers set about repairing some of the damage and the returning Matthew Hoggard takes three quick wickets

chinaman · #46 October 13, 2003, 10:27 AM

With the ball swinging in the gathering gloom Martin Saggers claims his first two wickets for England to leave the BCB innings in disarray

chinaman · #47 October 13, 2003, 10:28 AM

Steve Harmison grabs a sixth wicket for England and leaves the BCB President's XI on 46-6 at the close of play.

Graham Thorpe follows four balls later, when he top-edges an attempted sweep behind

These lads did similar to Lanka tour as they're doing it here. In lanka tour they all got out for a low score in the very first match. But from then on they all did very good in the longer version.

But here they don't have much of a chance in this 2 n qtr day match to bat again, unless follow on. They might not get chance to bat 2nd innigs to prove 'em worth while.

I'm more than positive, thease kid are good and they will shine later.

Or else, they all picked up Fahmidas' shower curse or Desi-unseasonal rain shower curse. May be
