Perhaps this is why RI did not write the bulletin?

'Trying to win could have been risky' - Bashar
Rabeed Imam
January 18, 2005

Asides from not including the stat that Arnab dug up re 300+ for chase and results, this article is pretty decent and at least explains what went on and contains - shock! gasp! - acknowledgement from Taibu that BD was the better side. I suspect CricIndo told Rabeed, don't worry about the bulletin, go do interviews and what not. Hopefully this will put the latest conspiracy theory to rest.

Hopefully this will put the latest conspiracy theory to rest.

chill, there was never a conspiracy theory. It's a joke. You know joke , as in april fool, only that some took it as life and death.

Actually, the match was decided last night, the rest, well, excitement for a few sorry souls, like me, with nothing better.

Guys after the series Bangladesh has 6 points. If they won the second game it would have been 8 points. However, if they lost chasing and leveled the series they would have ended up with 3 points.


Strategically correct decision as Whatmore and Bashar know the limitations. But I still think a run rate of 2.25 as opposed to 1.6 would have been a better choice during the first sessions on 5th day..

Anyway lets look forward to INshallah a 5-0 ODI result.

Thanks
