Thx Sharek!

If Nafis scores a century, will he be included in Whatmore's core group?

Sorry guys!!!!
I thought it was covering over by over but it seems to be stuck at the 32nd

AGC · #57 October 16, 2003, 01:45 AM

Depends. Should one good match put you in the cricketing "elite"? Don't think so... Consistent good performances are usually necessary to be included in a test team but of course, things are different in BD's case.

BD A:- 95/2 after 32 Overs.
Nafis Iqbal : 63
Rajin Saleh: 21

Rajin Saleh: 21

Nafis is really playing very well....

Sham · #60 October 16, 2003, 01:46 AM

Sharek is the man.

Arnab, a century won't get Nafees into Whatmore's core group, but it should put Golla and Hannan's places under pressure and keep them honest.

AGC · #61 October 16, 2003, 01:46 AM

119/2 wow, not bad

Sham · #62 October 16, 2003, 01:48 AM

Nafees is now on 77 and Rajin is on 28. Good going BDA!!

Arnab · #63 October 16, 2003, 01:49 AM

Hmm, how about a 150 from nafis? will that do?

And who is this Rober McInnes? Previous joint director of Australian Academy now coaching BD under 19.

Hopefully, we won't see the usual collapse today...

:P LOL

BBC:
"Skipper Michael Vaughan used six bowlers during the morning session and a temperature well into the 90s made conditions tough.

Iqbal took advantage to register a half century and Rajin Saleh reached 16 not out in an unbroken third wicket stand of 72.

"

Iqbal took advantage ?

give him the due credit.

tnb · #68 October 16, 2003, 01:58 AM

After these two only Nazimuddin is a regular bat. Are they one batsmen short?

If these two continue inshallah we will get 300. The scoring rate is also good.

Sham · #69 October 16, 2003, 02:00 AM

Couple of outs and we could be all out for 170. Look, with BD, its about applying themselves and building partnerships. Lets just hope they continue to do that not set ourselves a target that we will be disappointed if they dont reach. Ideally, the batsmen would want to spend as much time out as possible, even if they have to cut down on the scoring rate.

AGC · #70 October 16, 2003, 02:09 AM

Ahh no updates for ages. This is frustrating!

**Tehsin** · #71 October 16, 2003, 02:10 AM

This is just peachy. Nafees and Rajin decides to play good in a match when we fielded a side that has a long tail - Last six players are hardly batsmen.

Whatever ground work done by this two well go down the drain if we lose either of them.
