Default Amitting

Bangladesh scored a massive total of 361 in the first innings. This may prove to be unconquerable by an inexperienced Pakistani side and may very well lead Bangladesh to a victory. Every cricketing guru has and will agree that having top class middle-order is a boon for Bangladesh. On the other hand Pakistan never looked imposing. They had to work very hard to get Bangladesh wickets and were often frustrated by the lack of world-class bowlers.

The Bangladesh Minister of Truth, Altaf Hossain, has said that god-willing, Bangladesh is en-route to the world-cup finals and that can be attributed to the recent poor performances of Australia, England etc.. On the other hand he cautioned the team to treat Maldives seriously (a direct reference to the Soccer success of Maldives in the recent years.)

Pakistan was trailing by some 200 plus runs with their top-order crumbling. It will be very interesting to see how Pakistan avoids follow-on in the third day. Pakistan will surely play for a draw which will be enough for their ego.

After such a depressing collapse, I find it difficult to indulge in much humor. Still, one must try to keep one's spirits up. Please add the following line as my contribution to your piece:

----------

Expecting a lack of any meaningful challenge from a lowly Pakistani cricket team, Bangladeshi selectors sent a *weakened* team to Pakistan, resting such talented, world-class performers as Naimur Rahman and Mohammad Al Shahriar. In addition, after a lacklustre showing by Pakistan in the first test, Bangladesh coach Dave Whatmore decided to rest the much feared speedster Taposh Baisya and ace off spinner Sanwar Hussain for the second test. In spite of all these changes, Pakistan find themselves on the brink of defeat at stumps on day two of the second test.

At the end of the second day the Underdog Pakistan is sitting on 134/2 , a score that should surprise all the cricket critics of the World. But with Bangladesh's Fire Powers, specially the furious Almgir Kabir, taking the wickets of the likes of Inzi, Yosuf, shohib Malik, Rashid should be walk in the park. Even though the Underdog Pakistan had a good day today, be rest assured they should cramble by lunch tomorrow.

Pakistan was trailing by some 200 plus runs with their top-order crumbling. It will be very interesting to see how Pakistan avoids follow-on in the third day. Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud, enjoying a Bardmanesque Bowling average struck early to remove the opener. The captain loves to lead by example. Pakistan will surely play for a draw which will be enough for their ego.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery. This Amit guy must be a world class writer or analyst! When I grow up, I'd like to be able to report on a match like him: mostly fiction.

Do you guys suppose the affore cited 'compiled' version of this article could be submitted to Amit's web page? After all that's the fiction section of net cricket, is it not?
