Match thread: BD vs WI 3rd ODI

[chinaman]

Hopefully, with a better pitch and some friendly breeze will bring sound comfort to the Tigers. They must rise up to the occasion to bring respectability to their coach's pre-series comments.

The day our top order will click will be the day of reckoning. They have all the ingradients, all they need to do is to be themselves and to play for themselves. With a formidable lower order batting line up and fearsome penetration from the bowling department, we have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Can the tigers wake up today?

The real question is the weather, which may make all other points moot.

What should have done by our BD sports journalists to boost the confidence of some of our demoralized cricketers, has done by Billah. An excellent input to maximize Alok's lost faith of his own ability. To add one more thing with Billah's thoughts, I would suggest Alok to watch the video clip of his glorious half centuries and also the hat trick bowling spell over and over again. This is exactly what the sport psychologist of team India advised Tendulkar when he was going thru the bat patch.

Anyway, its only half an our before our determined boys gonna huddle themselves to thrash WI. I am confident of a win! Too much of an asking?:embaressed:

yea i agree for Tendu sport
psychologist and journalist
played a big role..but this is BD
Kapali is not Tendu!!!
if he was he would have tried harder
he started doing bad when
he started playing so called
glorious shots to prove himself
elegent!! no need to do that when
team needs a good score
itz betta to play straight or slow
than play elegant shots and give
away wkts.

[Ahmed_B]

will be bad to see a reduced over match

[Zobair]

This is going to be the match thread. Please post all your 3rd match related comments on this thread. Thank you

Go Tigers :tiger:

[Ahmed_B]

seems to be no scope for play yet

[mzia]

Ground of Grenada so wet, usually it takes extra time to become ready for play, moreover rain is still there like Ilisha Guri, maximum we could expect for a 25 over match again!

[AsifTheManRahman]

bad news...

[SS]

no play..atleast the players can
sleep and eat and have fun
and then forget to rectify their "mistakes"
and come home to eat kabab and paratas
o forget to tell ya
i bet they will do good if you bring
their families with them..like
Bashar once said after scoring hundred
in Pakistan that cus his wife and family
are there..thatz why he did good!!
BCCB should arrange that pretty often!

[BD Tigers]

Do we know the official playing 11 for Bangladesh?

[abhs]

The rain has left the field sodden and a lengthy delay appears likely.

It therefore, appears that the match overs will be significantly reduced.

[James90]

No play for an hour and 20 minutes

[chinaman]

He and Eddie Nicholls made a cursory inspection at 10am, and decided to have another look at 1pm (1700 GMT). But with the forecast not good for later on, the game is under serious threat of being washed out.

Cricinfo: Final one-dayer in doubt

[AsifTheManRahman]

"ssm" stands for the name of a university...

"u" stands for university..

[AsifTheManRahman]

[Zobair]

Asif all you have to do is go to the site In any case, ssmu stands for students society of McGill University. You got BSA right!
