Follow nasif's advice. HIT THE CHAT.

hopefully they will prevent big partnerships from developing. attackthe other end and tresco will run out of partners like nafees did yesterday, any first innings lead means the game will be very interesting tomorrow.

England: 110 for 4 after 25 overs

ME Trescothick: 55
R Clarke: 5

BBC's comment:

"England's batsmen failed to assert themselves on the second morning against Bangladesh A, reaching 110-4 at lunch."

Man, thats good. Read is gonna offer some resistance but we should be able to get them out for about 250.

However, our spinners are getting murdered! Fahim has bowled 6 overs for 38 and Rubel has bowled 3 for 22! Talha needs another bowl! I was happy to read that he got Hussain out with a ball that bounced higher than Hussain expected!

Sham · #60 October 17, 2003, 02:24 AM

And whats up with Tresco and his 90s? Two innings, two scores in the 90s. I hope he doesnt get third time lucky and score a 100 in the first Test.

Sham · #61 October 17, 2003, 02:29 AM

I'll be disappointed if we let Clark play a long innings and have him go into the First Test full of confidence!

fwullah · #62 October 17, 2003, 02:29 AM

Some of our 'A' team pacers are good (especially Talha) but they are not not that good to take 3 lbw decisions.

I hope our umpires are not acting like they usually do in domestic matches.

fwullah · #63 October 17, 2003, 02:32 AM

Is Alamgir Kabir suddenly started bowling better than he does - watching his chance to attract the selector's attention?

allrounder · #64 October 17, 2003, 02:43 AM

3 lbs out of 5 does not sound good to me.

Sham · #65 October 17, 2003, 02:52 AM

I really hope its not the umpires!! So far, none of the match reports say anything about bad decisions. Even though they don't have the luxury of tv replays, you can tell these things by looking at the batsmen's reaction. If the batsmen haven't shaken their heads and stomped off the ground (trust me they would have written about that), I think the umpires have been alright.

Quote:

But Hussain could have claimed to be slightly distracted after play had been briefly held up 10 minutes earlier when a killer cobra was found slithering in the grass and sent the crowd scurrying for safety.

Several spectators averted a possible attack by battering the 4ft snake to death with chairs and prompted coach Duncan Fletcher, Collingwood and Chris Read to investigate its remains only to witness Hussain's demise as they made their way back.

lol - is it bravery or stupidity? They killed a 4-feet long cobra with chairs?? LMAO - Damn Bangalees Bravo!!! Bravo!!!

Few days ago, I think I read somewhere that locals beat a Royal Bengal Tiger to death. What's wrong with these people? Call the zoo keeper or something-I don't know!

Sham · #67 October 17, 2003, 03:01 AM

Chance pailei gono pitani! I don't know what it is about us! We like to get into groups and beat the living crap out of something, be eat a little snake, a tiger or fellow humans.

chinaman · #68 October 17, 2003, 03:06 AM

What would you do if you were in that snaky crowd? Call zoo-keeper?

allrounder · #69 October 17, 2003, 03:11 AM

Call 911. :P

England: 202 for 6 after 48 overs

GJ Batty: 0
CMW Read: 8

Sham · #72 October 17, 2003, 03:18 AM

My man Talha has done it again!!

Things are looking good for BD A!

Everytime I read the name Batty, I laugh my head off. For those of you who don't know, Batty is slang for gay in England! Not that I have anything against gays, but boy, this guy must have gotten teased at school with a name like that. Its like someone in American being called Fag!

chinaman · #73 October 17, 2003, 03:18 AM

Arafat Sunny is choking them with 6-3-4-0

Sham · #74 October 17, 2003, 03:28 AM

Yeah Arafat seems to be bowling well. Especially after his two spin bowling colleagues got massacred.

Sham · #75 October 17, 2003, 03:36 AM

Looks like they are gonna take a first innings lead. BD A needs to get Read out quickly.

There may be a problem with Kabir. He only bolwed three balls of his 14th over and then Rajin finished the over for him. I hope its just a cramp or something and not a more serious injury. And I really hope it wasn't the other way round, Rajin getting injured and Kabir having to finish his over!
