This is exactly what I wanted, game starts after lunch.
If we can bat till tea (I know it's too much to ask) and give WI couple hours to bat today, then we have a possibility of getting few wickets end of the day today and also have a very decend chance of getting a draw.

Where is WI bunch??

game starts at 12:35 local, EST

16:35 GMT

The commies are saying that it is cloudy and there is possibility of showers in the afternoon. May be we should just look to bat out today too aided with some rain breaks That way, tommorow the WI bats will be in a hurry to post a big total and we can hopefully cash in.

[amadergaan]

I really hope we get some play..i think BD has few more surprizes up their sleeve.

pompous...zubair?

[al Furqaan]

you all seem to hoping for a rain affected draw...com'on people, hope for no rain, and a legit draw. or better yet a ligit win.

[betaar]

anyone knows where to get the vdo links that's working.

the links posted in the Audio vdo link thread didn't work for me, I could only get the audio links to work but not the vdo links.

I'm shooting for a draw, that's because I'm hoping realisticly. Also I woudn't want a total wash out draw, as we know BD usually never lasts full five days, so I'd like to see partly washout game where WI doesn't woudn't have enough time to win the match, rather get confused and somehow draws the match.

i want to see BD win not a draw by rain!

[amadergaan]

update ppl...

which radio link is working?

[Rubu]

a earned draw is acceptable, not a rain-draw. but ofcourse a win is most welcome. but winning a test before drawing one, is not very likely for us.

[capslock]

Dammit, it's like this bloody raincloud has been following the Bangaldesh team around ever since the England tour.

[al Furqaan]

does anyone know how many hours behind GMT NYC is? is it 4 or 5?
