National Cricket League - Complicated Situation

**Mahmood** · #1 January 16, 2003, 02:57 PM

Khulna did the impossible to beat Sylhet scoring 391 in the 4th innings. Now They are tied with Dhaka and Chittagong at top with 14 points each.

Since only the top 2 teams go to the final, the 2 with better run rate will go. However, the mismanagement is no where near up to date on each teams runrate.

So everyone sits and waits now, untill they can come up and provide the run rates.

The one and only first class tournament of a test playing nation!!! How Sad!!!!!!

Sadly, the BCb has managed to do surprise even the fans on this. Thank you Khulna for putting the CHUNKALI on the BCB officials.
Do this people get paid to hold those seats ? Someone commented that the show is run by some 'family'. Looks like the family itself is pretty useless as well. Give the BCB back to those who care about Bangladesh and LOVE cricket and don't think that it's just a money machine.

Dhaka is out. Khulna and Chittagong moved to the final with better run rate. Since my Dhaka is out, I will root for Khulna (where I spent my childhood) for final.

Do we have the full stas ? Were all the info provided that were used to make that decision ? Which paper posted thAT ? how come BCB does not have its own website ? How pathetic is that ? Look at the Irish cricket site. Even Kenya has a regular site with Cricinfo and we don't, what does that say about our officials and the guy who ran the cricinfo BD site for the last few years?

Since the run rate difference wasn't much and more importantly, since the run-rate comes up to be the same if rounded them, the committe has decided to have a rematch between the two teams to play Khulna in the final.

I believe the numbers were 32.28 for Chittagong and 31.61 for Dhaka. Good to see Chittagong agreeing to the rematch since there is a good possibility that Dhaka might walk away with a win there.

Did anyone think that Khulna would be there? Doesn't Pilot play for Khulna?

**Mahmood** · #9 January 18, 2003, 11:44 PM

Pilot is in Rajshahi. Masri in Khulna.

James90 · #10 January 19, 2003, 12:20 AM

What about Monjural?

**Tehsin** · #11 January 19, 2003, 02:00 PM

They do play for Khulna, however Masri was able to play until he was called on national duty and Manju/Sumon has missed all as they have been on national duty.
