Are you sure that is the real team. Why would they leave Aftab out when he needs to find form.

Aftab is out fors sure due to fever. But, the team selection is nothing but BaM's speculation. Janakanta or no other paper projected today's playing eleven.

Janakantha did post who are playing in the team just read their sports . It says Rajib and Shariar Nafees in the team also about the rest too .

Ok, BaM, u r right, I am wrong. Still, the selection u posted is nothing but Janakanta's speculation. This is not the right thread to do that. Officially, no side has yet declared their playing eleven.

TheWatcher, please leave the filtering of speculation to the moderators, personal annoyance with certain posters nothwithstanding. In this case Janakantha certaily did post a starting 11 under the headline "Bangladesh Dole Tin Pacer". The newspaper may be totally off, but you can't attribute that creativity to BaM.

Having said that Bangla amar Maa, take it easy will ya? We have a whole series ahead of us. Don't use up all your good Karma. Also, please try and read your posts aloud once or twice before hitting the submit button and rectify any blatant grammatica flaws. Your run on sentences are tough to decipher.

[RazabQ]

aaah Watcher ya beat me to the rectification

http://www.dailyjanakantha.com/kn.pdf

anyway we will see it when the match is underway , they never said it's probable 11 anyway who knows but ya shouldn't have said that's my speculation for today's match as it was from the daily newspaper from their sports reporter ....... they might be wrong ya never know , just hope for the best .

Latest Update:

Overnight rain at Cambridge, fenners ground outfield's a bit damp.

Covers are off and the sun is peeping threw and play should start on time.

[vv_sunil]

thanks to pompus for opening the thread, the first match thread of england tour. the fever is back!!!!!!!!!

[little_master]

thanks SHISH AHMED for kind info.
waiting for the start.

That's good to know weather is clear. In Australia and New Zealand they do play cricket under light drizzle so our players have to get used to with the condition very well .

[TheWatcher]

Is it raining at Fenner's also?

As Moderator:
Shish Ahmed is getting direct updates from someone at the grounds. So unless otherwise notified, his information can be presumed to be the most reliable.

As Myself:
Lets get it started already

[Shish Ahmed]

Latest update from Taif at the ground:-

Play is unlikely to start before lunch as it is raining, but it is not heavy. It will require about 2 hours to dry up the outfield.
