Thanks, | am looking for some oxygen now to breathe in

[Tigers_eye]

Mahmudullah has gone back to shell. Why? Will Tamim have a crack at it? or on still groin injury?

Jaharul Omi is a big disappointment for me. I thought he would light up the tourney.

[Tigers_eye]

Rajshahi is doing great. Abdul Razzaq and Sami are the keys. Very balanced team with experience. Should be in the finals unless something major collapse happen.

[Equinox]

Hmm so Chittagong have flown in Umar Akmal and Wahab Riaz? Glad Rajshahi didn't do the same. It has been a total team effort from Rajshahi. 6-7 players have performed when needed and the team is not reliant on 2-3 players like the other teams. And of course Mushfiq has been brilliant, he knows his team inside out and the players respect him. Even if they go out tomorrow (which I feel could happen) they should be proud of the turnaround. They have been the best team for me.

[Nadim]

THIS IS UNREAL... Barisal Burners are in the semifinal, not Chittagong Kings.

-Isam bhai on FB just few mins ago.

Now then, what is happening?

[Razi]

Meanwhile, Isam bhai giving some very confusing statuses in FB:

Mohammad Isam
‎12:14am and the Barisal Burners are still in a meeting with the BPL. Will three teams turn up for the first semifinal?

Mohammad Isam
THIS IS UNREAL... Barisal Burners are in the semifinal, not Chittagong Kings.

[Razi]

Guys guys, real drama here. Isam bhai just confirmed me on FB that the Burners will be playing tomorrow's first semi-final, not the Kings!

BPL sux!!!

[Nadim]

UPDATE FROM MIRPUR (Yes I had to restart my laptop for this ****)... Barisal Burners have prised out the semifinal spot from BPL. Chittagong Kings owners are on the way.

Kalke ar khela hocche. BPL = Wose than PCL

[FagunerAgun]

Oh mai...Cricinfo and others are saying it is CTG Kings.

[Awla]

Whoever qualifies for SF against Rajshahi ..IMO 1st SF of today should be postponed to tomorrow...
It'll be a matter of enormous shame if 3 teams turn out to be present at same time...
Shame on the governing committee... BPL is a joke

[Equinox]

Now Chittagong Kings owners on the way to have meeting with the BCB officials

[FagunerAgun]

This is a rookie mistake? Why BCB did not clarify things before?

true. but bpl commitee and BB owner had long meeting. ctg owners are joijng in it seems.

nothing is clear.

I hope both BB and CTG gets kick out and DR to the final. winner from KRB vs DG will play DR in the final. simple equation.

[Nadim]

Money talks it seems. Definitely BB offered some $$$£££ and bpl committee agreed. now if ctg offer more than BB, they will say ctg in the semi

BB is not good. But I don't understand why they need meetings to qualify, isn't it all done in the points table?
