If we win the toss we should bat , what do you guys think ?

[RazabQ]

depends on weather and pitch conditions but yeah ideally you want to bat first.

Today's weather is great , i love to see Nafis Iqbal having his hundred today .

[Mr-khan]

Bangla amar Maa vai k khub excited mone hocche.

[yaseer]

Bat first to me....................

[yaseer]

i know it is a practice match......................but i really like BD to press a win in this match............
Sokale botham er comments poire mejaj ta khub gorom hoye ase................

Always be excited when Bangladesh plays . I am still waiting for first ever test in overseas , but i don't know how long we have to wait for that ..haha .....

Botham really deserves an unwanted gift from Bangladesh , just to win the match or what . Show the class and stop their mouth .

It should be an exciting game to follow, as someone mentioned in another thread, this could be our future national team line up. Take a look at this

Shahriar Nafis
Nafis Iqbal
Aftab Ahmed
Habibul Bashar
Rajin Saleh
Mohammed Ashraful
Mushfiqur Rahim
Mashrafee Mortaza
Talha Jubair
Shahadat Hossain
Enamul Haque Jr.

Hello flipper , Javed Omar 28 , Pilot 29 these guys gotta in the team too , can't forget Rafique ...... If it's our future line-up then Habibul Bashar should be out too .......

[yaseer]

I liked two NAFEES in the top...........
But i will never want to see Khaled Mashud being replaced in another 5 years..........i am a big fan of PAILOT.........and i beleive he is the cricketer who will always give 100% for the team whatever the situation is.........

[mahbubH]

My guess: Mushfiq will get a big score!

[yaseer]

ya............pailot, rafique na thakle habibul bashar o to thakar kotha na...............

But "Habibul Bashar" is the man ....... he can play for another 10 years with Rafique ....... and still they will perform mate .....

I am not sure how Javed Omar is going to turn out in this series, so we will wait and see. But Pilot definitely has a few more years to give us. I do hope to see this line up click for us. The only person I am not sure of is Talha, but there are lot of young pacers already started roaring to make their mark such as Rassel, Polash etc.

By the way, I forgot to mention Rafiq. He will provably retire on his own term.

And, I don't see any replacement for Bashar as yet.
