Install Paltak
----> Click on "Actions"
Select "Join A Chat Room"

----> Click on Asia/Africa/Australia
Select "Bengali"

Select BD Cricket live or something that indicates live cricket coverage.

You should be all right to go.

Btw, dont try 30 or 40 mins before the match start, as the guys might not create the room that early. check prior to the starting time, and it should be there, if they are webcasting the audio.

The Paltak guys provide a really good service, for those who wont be able to watch the games live. I've been loggin on to Paltak for BD matches for a while now and really enjoy being there and participate in discussion. But tomorrow, i would probably watch the games live on tele, so wont be there.

Enjoy your time over there.

Baundule · #13 October 6, 2006, 07:07 AM

Finally some real cricket for Bangladesh.

Rubu · #14 October 6, 2006, 07:24 AM

Lets get ready for some trushing. I'm always scared to play SL (more than Aus).

Lidcombe · #15 October 6, 2006, 07:30 AM

Actually I think we should lose the toss! Winning toss could go either way. Here is my reasoning:

According to Dav's comments on DS, they are worried about the 'dew factor' and hence wants to bat first. He was talking about SN and MA surviving the first few overs. If you look at SL's practice match you will see that their top order could not survive the average PCA pace attack! Do you expect me to believe that our guys will survive 10 overs from Vass and Malinga? I hope and pray that they survive, but I kind of doubt they will.

I do not know how much the dew factor played in PCA's innings. If it really did, then let SL win the toss and decide their own fate. We have pace attacks of Mashrafee/Rasel/Shahadat which can cause trouble to their top order as well.

sadi · #19 October 6, 2006, 08:13 AM

You always want to bat first on a day night match. Its always hard to bat second under the light and with this batting lineup, I wouldn't dare to do that.

If its true (i.e. dew in the evening), then we should better bowl first, otherwise it will be difficult for bowlers (specially 3/4 SLAs we have in our team) to grip the ball properly in the second innings.

istiak · #21 October 6, 2006, 08:21 AM

In Mohali it would be difficult to bowl under light.......So win the toss and bat might not be the best option??

thnx Ahmed_B, by da way i live in aussie land but ami 100% tiger

and i want to see them winning tomorrow.....make ourselves proud in here......can they do it??????

Lidcombe · #23 October 6, 2006, 08:36 AM

i saw Bangladesh won the toss many times, but the captains failed to take right discision and lost the games horribly, lets see wat happen tomorrow.......according to the experts bowling first will be the right discision.....and i think the weather is not tht hot to field in the afternoon.... so HB kindly bowl first if we win the toss

Sam · #24 October 6, 2006, 08:53 AM

We need to win this match, because in my opinion WI has come back to CT as a very strong team. Their moral is also very high.

Lidcombe · #25 October 6, 2006, 09:10 AM

have anyone checked the current poll (Which of these teams will do best in the qualifying stage of the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy?) in http://www.iccchampionstrophy.com/ ..... really impressing.....39% viewers voted for bangladesh. whereas 34% for SL, 24% for WI and 3% for Zim......wow thts really gr8 to we r getting some respect.....
