Can Ashraful become #27 cricketer to score a Test triple century?

Zeeshan · #1 March 10, 2013, 01:34 PM

Yes, I dream big.

I was the first one to say he will score 100...tick
First one to say 200....Nearly tick
Then said 400...Still pending

Zeeshan · #3 March 10, 2013, 01:37 PM

The first day was the hardest, second day got easier, third day will be hard again.

Theoretically possible. Question is, that would require that we play very negative cricket. Shouldn't we, if able to, score 600+ and give them a chance to bat again, so there is a chance that we win?

So, the goal should be draw, then win. A triple ton should not be the goal.

Dream BIG

Nope. How often do our batsmans get a chance to pile up runs? Just keep batting as long as we possibly can. No need to declare and let SL bat again. Gazi will end up having to bowl lots of over. I would rather just keep the SL players out in the field as long as possible. We will get a lot of confidence from this, if we can bat out 3+ days. That's a huge achievement for us.

Real BD superstar is back on the squad, what else you can ask more! Good days are ahead now, thats what matters. After playing such a long innings, Ash already deserves a rest. I better hope for left coming batting order to finish his stint of 700+ team total. A min of 150 lead by tomorrow, is what I'm asking from Ash & his partners now.

Miraz · #11 March 10, 2013, 02:15 PM

Let the boy score 200 first. It won't be easy as he will be in uncharted territory.

tiger1000 · #12 March 10, 2013, 02:19 PM

i predicted 155, was just a randomly came to me also bd 151 all out hopefully that doesnt happen

Zeeshan · #13 March 10, 2013, 03:21 PM

My stance is same as Ajfar's.

BANFAN · #14 March 10, 2013, 03:37 PM

Scoring a double for the first time, in BD cricketing history will be so over whelming, I think it may be difficult to keep the composure for a triple.

But given the traumatic times that he has gone through, has mentally hardened him a lot, so if anyone in this team can do it, it should be him.

Exactly...

Declaring is out of the equation completely...

Atleast Not until tomorrow last 5 overs of the day or a 200 run lead...if we can do that. Best it confirm a draw and have some practice against a quality bowling.

ashraful1 · #16 March 10, 2013, 03:56 PM

Just get a double!!

ashraful1 · #17 March 10, 2013, 03:57 PM

And I would prefer for mushy to get his double more then ash getting a triple....

cricman · #18 March 10, 2013, 03:57 PM

Wouldn't put it past Mushy

al-Sagar · #21 March 10, 2013, 08:21 PM

i voted no, because i am not ready to dream big ...... because i feel he will be 28th because i am dreaming bigger

Mushfiq has a better SR ...... and i feel mushfiq will be 27th and followed by ashraful 28th.

Lol, i didn't even realize the unintended pun between ox and eid...haire, Ash wins yet again.

taklima_naj · #24 March 10, 2013, 08:58 PM

would like to see 200 first, good luck for the best

SS · #25 March 10, 2013, 09:14 PM

today it's different pressure to Ash...yesterday he had different pressure as he was not sure he will reach 100 due to recent forms but today so much expectations just added which always sent him backwards all these years...Sir Ash can't take this pressure all these years why bring it back...these 11 runs are difficult can reaching from 65 to 100 or 100 to 150. Let's see if he can cross 200 then 250 then 280 IA then you can put something substatial in this thread
