Match Thread: 1st Test, Bangladesh vs. West Indies at SBNS, Dhaka; November 13-17, 2012

[Maysun]

Imagine a trio of Shakib-Sunny-Gazi attack. All different in their own rights. Maybe in the 2nd Test?

[BANFAN]

2 more wickets before lunch...would be ok..

[RazabQ]

Gee it's good to be back on BC with a Test match going on.
Gee it's good to see a captain take a punt on a youngster
Gee it's good to see the captain and the youngster stick to their conviction even after getting hammered
Gee it's good to see the plan work. Gayle be gone
Gee it's good to see both spinners give the ball a rip and get turn

[reyme]

Only if we had Sunny...Ah whats the point of having any pacer at all?

If the 2nd Test is on a similar pitch, it wouldn't be a bad idea. But who would Sunny replace?

[Nocturnal]

80/2
lunch er agee ar ekta wkt dorkar ...

[cricketboy]

Tamim-ctg
Junaid-Rajshahi
Nafees-Barisal
Naeem-Rangpur
Mushfiq-Rajshahi
Shakib-Khulna
Riyad-Dhaka
Nasir-Rangpur
Gazi-Barisal
Shahadat-Dhaka
....
So, players from Khulna and Chittagong (once breeding ground for upcoming players)are decreasing in our national team!!!

[Maysun]

5 runs off Shakib's second. The first couple of balls, he bowled really full to the right hander Samuels.

Whoever scores dabba in this test...from SN/Nasir/Mullah

[WarWolf]

Shakib doesn't seem to have the rhythm he normally has. It's only the first session of the match though and the ball is pretty new.

[reyme]

Shakib is not in supreme form looks like...

[BANFAN]

Shakib is yet to threaten ...

[reyme]

Ahhh do we miss Enamul here....specialist spinners...

[WarWolf]

Shahadat back again.

[BANFAN]

SRK is back...now where are the number 5/6/7 bowlers...??

[BANFAN]

When you talk about including sunny, everyone will count 6/7 bowlers, but in field you can't find them...shouldn't Nayeem/Mullah be bowling now...?

[Maysun]

Shakib has been better than the last time I saw him bowl in the T20's. He just needs to settle down into a rhythm and be consistent with his line and length.

The previous two overs of Shakib, both the boundaries hit off him was when he decided to change his rhythm. In his second over, he bowled full and got driven. In his third over, he bowled on a middle-leg stump line and got swept.

So nothing to worry. He just needs to settle down and get his rhythm.

[WarWolf]

At least one more wicket to be taken before lunch.
