Start listening guys. You will need some practice to understand Scottish accent (not all of us) . Living in England for last twenty years, sometimes I struggle to understand Scottish.

Also I think if Ireland/Scot/Dutch came to Bangladesh to play a series it would be difficult for them to save their "man-ijjot" but in alien conditions[for Bangladeshis] this is a good challenge. Nothing short of a win should be sufficient today.

netherlands are yet to taste our deshi masala.
but the scots & the irish know the bitter side of it very well.
after the 2007debacle, we trounced them 3-0! earlier, scots suffered the same fate in a 2 match series

10:01 AM The ground is beginning to show the effects of the weather, while much of the square is under covers, there are a couple of old wickets toward the pavillion end which are starting to look like there are puddles forming.
9:59 AM The bad news is that after a reasonably dry night last night, the skies have filled in with cloud and the rain has started coming down fairly heavily. Unfortunately it looks like it could be here for a while, with forcasts varying, from a possibility of it drying up around noon to the rain falling well into the evening.
9:56 AM Good Morning and welcome to the CricketEurope coverage of the One-Day International between Scotland and Bangladesh at Citylets Titwood, Glasgow.

BBC: Chairman of Scotland Cricket is hopeful the game will go on despite bad weather.

Its raining heavily and there is a slim chance of a match taking place.

Nadim · #**108** July 19, 2010, 04:19 AM

10:19 AM The rain seems to have eased slightly, enough for some of the ground staff to head outside for a game of 'stumpy' on a corner of the outfield, but it will have to stay off for a good while, I think, before they will be pressed into action taking the covers off.

10:21 AM Having said that, it has come back again, harder than ever... the locals don't seem too hopeful of play today sadly. (CricketEurope Scotland)

al-Sagar · #**110** July 19, 2010, 04:28 AM

i think both todays and tomorrows game may get washed out

Razi · #**111** July 19, 2010, 04:31 AM

10:29 AM The sponge rollers are out around the edges of the covers, as the groundsman battles against puddles, but there are a few areas of standing water, one in front of the pavillion and another on the edge of the square which will cause the umpires more of a problem. (CricketEurope Scotland)

I might sound negative , but sadly i don't see a match taking place here . Not even a T20 . It will rain the whole day today , I am pretty sure about that.

jisaan · #**119** July 19, 2010, 04:53 AM

mahmudullah's inability to accelerate had cost us a game in pakistan
http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/343761.html

despite a lot of experience behind him, he has failed miserably to adapt to the needs of the team esp. when accelerating in death overs.

either we need to move him up at 4 or ....

Thanks for the good news. Are you going to the ground to watch the match if it is on?
