[qwert]

inshallah we will win.

and is the game starts at 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM eastern time.

[taklima_naj]

Yes if they are competitive this time I will be happy.

[Nocturnal]

score 260+ while batting first, don't wanna chase more than 250 while bowling.
good luck Tigers! make every wicket count for NZ bowlers. Don't break the Team Rules. Coach would not be happy and we fans deserve some SMILE before new year!

Team Rule #1: Play positively and with intent.
Team Rule #2: Keep your composure at all times.
Team Rule #3: Play sensibly, don't throw away your wicket once you're set at the crease.
Team Rule #4: Keep rotating the strikes in the middle of the innigs and let
loose towards the end of the innigs.

Those should definatly be few of our team batting rules.

[Hatebreed]

Please Tigers, play as a team and more sensibly this time.

[Sovik]

hope to see some sensible cricket from our boys

ধন্যবাদ, ক্রিকম্যান...
অন্তরে ব্যাথা আরও বারিয়ে দেয়ার জন্য!!!

The pitch is flat and is a Belter, All u need is good shot selection and good score is guaranteed

27.12.2007
Hamish Bidwell WHEN the local chief executive reckons you win the toss and bat, it's best to heed his advice.
Tomorrow's one-day international between New Zealand and Bangladesh at McLean Park will be no different, with Central Districts Cricket Association supremo Blair Furlong (pictured below) predicting big things for the team the coin falls in favour of.

That's because the look of this deck supports such a forecast, as does recent history.
"[Groundsman] Phil [Stoyanoff] is out in the middle with the roller now and I checked the pitch yesterday and it looked great," Furlong said this morn"He had the 13-tonne roller on it last week and it's as flat as a tack. Phil's rolled the grass right into the wicket, so there's a good grass covering which will give it pace and bounce and mean the ball doesn't burr on the clay. "I'd say whoever wins the toss will bat first and be looking to score at least 300."

This will be the number four strip's first outing of the season and in the only previous match on McLean Park this season - the four-dayer between CD and Wellington - 1327 runs were scored for the loss of just 25 wickets.
Plus, in the last four ODIs at the ground, 273 is the lowest score compiled by the team batting first.

hi kalpurush bhai, thanks for opening the thread, nice job. wish u put different ashraful pic. he doesnt look good here. i am sure he has some nice pic. please dont mind for the suggestion, its just my opinion, nothing else.

[Nafis_BD]

Thanks a lot KP bhaiya for the match thread. Inshallah we will win this time and hopefully our players play sensibly!!

[MohammedC]

"I think we were pretty pleased with everything apart from the way we bowled to Ashraful, and in some ways that was the way he played," Vettori said after the comprehensive six-wicket win.
"I thought he was pretty outstanding. It sort of reminded us a little of some of the world-class players going around in world cricket at the moment - his ability to hit good balls for fours or sixes consistently.
"He's obviously got an amazing eye, and he's going to be a threat to us all series."

It took Vettori a while to realize that Ash is talented and what he can do to a opposition bowling attack

My "Hope Meter" is refilled for this match again. Inshallah, we will win.

Frankly, I don't want to see any HEROICS. I just want everyone in the middle order to post scores of AT LEAST 30+

As we all know, Vettori has difficulty seeing things .

[al-Sagar]

we need to coninue what we done in the first 39 overs.

batsman should be confident that if they play proper shots and play less slogs and in the air shots we can get a good score on the board.

changes in the squad......... mehrab out, rajin or sajid in. if rajin then play in him middle order. if sajid in play mushfik up the order.
