Mridul · #1 October 22, 2003, 07:41 PM

important day for both teams....can Bangladesh prove themselves?...or are they gonna be humilated?

fab · #2 October 22, 2003, 07:56 PM

Prove themselves.. hmm.. with five bowlers who've made no impact whatsoever!

What should the BDs tactic be now? No idea.. I am stumped

I hope our players aren't feeling as negative as some of you!

We can still turn things around. A couple of wickets, perhaps a false shot by the batsman, a freaky dismissal, and we could get back into the game. If I remember correctly, in the first Match, England went from 180 for 2 to 180 for 6! We can hope for something similar.

When does the match start (EST)?

**Tehsin** · #8 October 22, 2003, 10:26 PM

Just go by the time on the message board. Matches starting at 330 in the morning.

59.6 Enamul Haque jnr to Trescothick, OUT: big big wicket! flighted
delivery outside the off stump, swept straight down the throat of
the Khaled Mahumud at square leg, first Test wicket for the young
man

Enamul make it your day.

There is a game afoot folks, stop dispairing.

We took 4 wickets in the extended session and England is still trailing BD. That was a super session for us! Now we need to get Clark and Read and the rest should be easy. Thorpe can stay at the other end and watch the wickets fall!

Zobair · #12 October 23, 2003, 01:33 AM

Enamul Jnr. is turning the ball pretty sharply...giving the ball flight as well...I say this young lad is here for keeps....he has bowled 5 overs so far today...given away 3 runs...adn taken the wicket of his tormentor yesterday...trescothick...way to go!

Sham · #13 October 23, 2003, 01:38 AM

This is precisely why one should never judge too early!

Hasib · #14 October 23, 2003, 03:08 AM

If Bangladesh is to have a chance against the poms in Chittagong, then they need to get tresco early

Sham · #15 October 23, 2003, 03:24 AM

This is a good performance by Bangladesh in the field. Super performance today actually. They were 111 overnight, so today they have scored 125 and lost six wickets, that too in 65 overs! England's run rate right now is lower than innings run rate.

Hasib · #16 October 23, 2003, 03:47 AM

We need a wicket... NOW! Because batty and thorp are staging a fight back.

**Nasif** · #17 October 23, 2003, 04:15 AM

Masri back to his old self. Two quick wickets

Sham · #18 October 23, 2003, 04:16 AM

This is awesome! Batty and Thorpe both gone. Thorpe gone two balls before Tea. Masri comes back with two wickets with the new ball! Excellent stuff by Bangladesh.

**Nasif** · #19 October 23, 2003, 04:35 AM

another one for masri!!!

Hasib · #20 October 23, 2003, 04:59 AM

Oh, for heavens sake... how long does it take to get the last wicket?!!!

Hasib · #21 October 23, 2003, 05:09 AM

HEEEELLLLLP!!!!!! THE TALE IS WAGGING!!!!!!!!!!!! 291/9

Arnab · #22 October 23, 2003, 05:17 AM

Shut up.

Edit: ok that was a tad harsh. carry on.

Hasib · #23 October 23, 2003, 05:28 AM

All out for 295... lead of 93. The pitch should now be ready for batting. So we should do better, Inshallah. If we can get around a led of 200, and get quick wickets, we have a chance, Inshallah.

Hasib · #24 October 23, 2003, 05:53 AM

Salah gone!

12/1
Bad light stops play... maybe no more play today... time to regroup.
