[al Furqaan]

Hokol manshe Siloto welcome khorram. Ee oilo Silotor shobche frothom Test!!!!

Debut Test for the land of Sufi Saints...Jalalabad aka Sylhet.

Can the Tigers win convincingly? Or will Zimbabwe spoil the debut?

[Eshen]

Go Sylhet!!!

Hopefully wickets here will be offering better bounce than our traditional pitches.

Miraz will be ineffective 😆

I was expecting a match thread from Mufi since its Sylhet's first ever test and He is the founder of Sylhet fan club. That boy has been slacking it seems

I love Sylhet. Dont know why it took that long for BCB to organize a test there. Lets go for the kill boys and make sylhet's debut a memorable one.

your one liners crack me up

[Modad]

i'll be there to support BD insha Allah from day 3 onward

[Roey Haque]

Nice thread. I will watch here and there, and the highlights of course. To me, we are so lost strategically in tests, that I find it hard to muster the gumption to talk about it. But we had the Flexman Al Furqan himself on the pod to help us with that.

BAN line-up predicted by groundsmen/technician:

[godzilla]

^ damn that is a very weak batting lineup. Can't believe excluding two names could make a huge impact, even visually.

[Eshen]

Reports saying it will be a dry wicket, no more than two specialist pacers will be picked.

Arif has chance to be picked as an allrounder. Do they seriously expect his bowling to be effective in a Test match?!

Yeah, looks like an A team to me.

[Tigers_eye]

As'salamu alaikum everyone.


Do we have an official lineup list?


What is this talk about going with only one seamer?

[aklemalp]

Shafiul

[R0ssei]

^^
Hey, Shafiul is the only FAST bowler who can bowl at 120 kmh and can swing <1 inch both ways with new/old ball.

[Shadow]

It might rain from the 3rd day of the match.

Nope, unlike Aus, Eng, or India, our management like to keep the opposition in the dark about team combination.

It's Zim, they're thinking about taking both Taijul and Nazmul against them, in expense of a pacer. Thus they're thinking about resting Fizz, and play Rahi only.

[Rifat]

Going with one pacer is a huge mistake on this Juicy Sylhet wicket. I would go with three...

[One World]

Hoping for some astonishing record. Not the kind that we made in WIndies.
