Match Thread: 1st Test, Bangladesh vs. West Indies at SBNS, Dhaka; November 13-17, 2012

[silversurf]

why not mushy using sakib and sohag from both end ? If he wants to bowl a pacer from one end and a spinner from another, then he should choose Rubel instead of SRK.

[RazabQ]

Rubel definitely looking short in overs

[BANFAN]

Need wickets...

[Navo]

Looks like Mushy heard you Silversurf

[BanCricFan]

As usual our pacers continue to bowl on both side of the wkt.

[WarWolf]

Rubel is a good bowler but unfortunately not a wicket taker.

He lost his mojo after the injury. He was getting better before that.

I think it's because Shakib prefers bowling to right handers, and there are 2 left-handed batsmen at the crease currently.

[AbuDarda]

Its placid batting track!

[BengaliPagol]

139/3 is a good start by the BD team. We just need 2 quick wickets to mount pressure of West Indies. Im impressed by Gazi's determination. Got tonked in the first over, got hit for 6 off his first ball in international cricket but strongly took 2 wickets and has an economy rate of 2.52.

[RazabQ]

why aren't we bowling shak and ghazi to build some pressure???/

[Rifat]

Powell looks on course for a well deserved century

[mij]

I can't see how our fast bowler going to take wickets

That doesn't mean the captain doesn't/shouldn't bring him on.

[WarWolf]

The game is moving away from us.

[Sovik]

A few more wickets and we will have the upper hand

He had a long lay off. Not easy firing all cylinders straight away as Fast bowler.
I wouldnt mind seeing Abul in the next Test tho.

[silversurf]

Both our pacers can't find any line and length, better play naz instead of Rubel or SRK.

Just like how SRK took a wicket. Once in a blue moon when the batsman loses his concentration and gifts his wicket.

[BengaliPagol]

Im a bit confused with the selection. The batting seems way too deep. Im not too sure of how the batting lineup will look like. Seems like Naeem might not bat at #4 but at #8?

Lol. Its only the 2nd session of the 1st day, bro. And, not a T20.

Bhais, wicket fuicket na porle to tough hoye jachche....
ekta break thru dorkar...

[Dilscoop]

boundary, EVERY. Freaking. Over. There hasn't been an over where they didn't leak a boundary. There is no way you can pick up these 2 wickets unless you ball 50 dots in a row. Unlike the last 3 batsmen, these guys will grind out there! Basic logic of cricket...

[WorldCup11]

I think Sohag Gazi deserves 5fer in this test and he'll get it. Any thoughts?

I know.

But the problem is they have a superior lineup. So their batting must be destroyed with giving any chance to build big partnership.
