Don't fret Buddy. If Talha, Tapash and Monju lead a pace attack, It's a miracle if the opposition can't score 350+. And if binary scorers(those who scores in 0 and 1) like Tushar Imran, Hannan Sorkar, Al Shahriar or Sanwar are batting against any decent bowling attack, well, they did well to cross 100.

But this new Bangladesh-- resurgent bangladesh if you prefer, will do much better. Or atleast, a guy can hope...

But nothing can replace test cricket. 20 Overs is not nearly enough to showcase a batsman's skills and charecter or a bowlers tenacity. "Wham-bam-thank you ma'am" is T20I, while test cricket is the gentleman's courtship. I think KP said it best, White colour separate men from boys.

I like you already. Welcome to BC.

That grip that Razzak is using looks like a chinaman/leg spinner grip to me

Vai, English er shagore apnar bangla khub bhalo lage. Don't give it up.

And I guess Boucher will play as a specialist batsman, he can be very mean with bat on some day.

OK, someone has to get 80 on a flat pitch.

আশরাফুল, সাকিব বা তামিম যেকোন দুইজনকে অন্তত জ্বলে উঠতে হবে কালকে। তা নাহলে একতরফা ম্যাচ হয়ে যাবে- এটা নিশ্চিত।
