How did Lara commit this blunder?

hehe Sultan! I think Tehsin bhai is referring to the inaccuracies in the official census results...a lot of people slip through the cracks...There is no SIN or SSN number to keep track of people...and not all births are registered...the margin fo error is pretty high on those estimates.

Bangladesh Population statistics:

Between 130 - 145million according to sources.

141,340,476 (July 2004 est.)

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/...k/geos/bg.html

Bangladesh's population according to 1991 census was at around 111million

According to 20020 census, Bangladesh's population stood at 133million

Basically, your claims of Bangladesh having 150 million people is completely wrong. Altho, Bangladesh will cross the 150 million mark in the coming years. But it hasn't crossed it yet!

Whether Bangladesh crossed 150 mil or not, what is has to do with Lara's blunder?

Unless Lara has something to do with all those sites.

200 million people in Bangladesh would be like the whole world's population in two-thirds of mainland USA. That's crazy.

OK, I did overreact, big deal... you all would do the same if somebody said that about Bangladesh winning to Zimbabwe was fixed.

Actually i made the suggestion about Younis Khan- before the match he played(after which he flew back to Pakistan)- but look at how many matches he played in this series? Just 1- that too- the last game- and non against Australia. And i was even more shocked that Shoaib Malik was chosen over Younis- even though he can't bowl. Younis could be used as a utility player- by replacing Kamran and Pakistan then have the luxury to bring in another batsman, bowler or all rounder!

[Ameer]

Younis Khan's wicket keeping is not good enough for him to replace Kamran. His batting is better but Kamran's make up for it in his superiority with the gloves. Younis Khan should make it on the team though, he should replace that useless piece of crap Hameed.

[chyicarus]

Good point- but i said that he can be used as a utility player- just like Dravid- i know in Australian conditions its better to keep Kamran- but Younis has shown some sort of form to at least play 4 of the 6 games- not just 1 game!
