If you wouldnt fix a match with guns, drugs or cash, dont try and fix it with a curator.

Why not? Everyone does it.

চট্টগ্রামে বৃষ্টি লেগেই আছে

চট্টগ্রাম: গুড়িগুড়ি বৃষ্টি লেগেই ছিলো। পিচে পানি না লাগলেও কাভার দিয়ে ঢেকে রাখা হয়েছে ওয়ানডে খেলা শেষ হওয়ার পর থেকে। খেলা শুরুর আগে পিচ কাভার তোলা যাবে বলেও মনে হয় না।

স্থানীয় আবহাওয়া বিভাগ জানিয়েছে, টানা দুইদিন ভারি বর্ষণ হতে পারে। বিসিবির আবহাওয়া বিভাগও মেঘলা আবহাওয়ার বিষয়ে সংকেত দিয়ে রেখেছে। সত্যি সত্যি ভারি বৃষ্টি হলে চট্টগ্রাম টেস্টের ভাগ্য ঝুলে যেতে পারে।

এমনিতেই জহুর আহমেদ চৌধুরী স্টেডিয়ামের বাউন্ডারি লাইনে কাদা চপ চপ করছে। তারওপর বুধবারের গুড়িগুড়ি বৃষ্টি ভেজে ভেজা ভাব তৈরি করে রেখেছে।

একপশলা ঘন বৃষ্টি হলেই ভেসে যাবে মাঠ। পানি নিষ্কাশনের সুব্যবস্থা না থাকায় বৃষ্টির পানি ভেতরেই আটকে থাকে। দোন দিয়েও সেচে লাভ হওয়ার নয়।

ভারি বর্ষণ যদি নাও হয় খেলার আগ পিচ ঢেকে রাখতে হলে ময়েশ্চার পাওয়া যাবে উইকেট থেকে। সেক্ষেত্রে আগে ব্যাট করতে হলে বিপদে পড়ে যাবে বাংলাদেশ দল। টস ভাগ্যবান মুশফিকুর রহিমকে তা হলে টেস্টেও আরেকবার টস জিততে হবে।

I have a feeling, this will be the team. Rakibul may also be selected. Instead of whom that I don't know: will it be SN? Or Hom?


However I have a feeling, this may not be the order.

[M.H.Rubel]

I am really happy to hear high comment from Law about Sunny.This year i saw him bowling only 1 over but i liked him.His main strength is nagging good line and length.Law followed him in BCB cup and a mentioned about his line and length.Hope he will be a good partner of Shakib.

Who designed the Mirpur SB stadium? You can start play 30 minutes after rain stop. Can't the Chittagong people get pointers about drainage from him or her?

[M.H.Rubel]

How much high up is it possible for Mushy to bat in test cricket?

While I do see him batting up at No.5 from his customary No.7 in test cricket, I would be very reluctant to move him up further more, since he is also the wkt keeper. You have to keep it in mind. In case we are batting second, you don't want to see him batting early after keeping the whole day or two. Its very draining. So, No.5 but not further up.

Batting order should not be cast in stone. The coach and captain should be flexible to change the order if necessary. (But, they should not change it arbitrarily, otherwise there will be chaos and mayhem.)

Once the opposing captain declared the inning after a rain to make Bradman's team bat on a "sticky" wicket. (This is during the time when sissy's did not play; wickets would not be covered during rain.) Bradman sent his tail-enders to open the inning and kept sending them until the end of the day. Next morning the wicket was fine and he came in after another wicket fell. He scored a century (naturally) and Australia won the match.

[Beamer]

Nice story.

No, it should not be cast in stone, but we do need to figure out some positional stability in the top order. Openers are set. 3 and 4 are not, though I see SN occupying no.3 and Rok no.4. Sakib likes no.6, but I doubt Mushy comes in at his customary no.7 in tests. He is a man in form. So, I think he will come no.5 and make it his own. Plus, Riyad is out.

Windies recall Simmons for injured Barath

West Indies have recalled opening batsman Lendl Simmons in the Test side to replace injured Adrian Barath, team officials said on Wednesday.

Barath suffered a hamstring injury and was forced to retire hurt during the first match of the just-concluded one-day series last week.

‘Simmons will take the place of Barath in the Test side. Barath will be staying with the team to have his treatment and rehabilitation done,’ team’s spokesman Phillip Spooner told reporters in Chittagong.

Simmons, who has played seven Tests, is in the form of his life make seven fifties and a century in his last 11 ODIs.

The Test series begins on Friday in Chittagong, where Bangladesh skittled West Indies out for 61 runs and romped to eight-wicket win in the third ODI.

The second Test will be held in Dhaka from Oct 29 to Nov 2.

It's actually a gd news for WI.

I actually would like to see Naeem tried at 3 or 4. He has the test mentality and hopefully, can stay to build an inning.

[shuziburo]

Whatever happens, I hope that the selectors play the same team for both tests. One and out is not good. Anyone can have an off day. (I know, I know, some can have off year or decade...)

[Nadim]

WTH!!! elish Sunny and Rok yet to join the team...they are currently playing 4days match..which will finish tomorrow...friday, a day after is the test match..will they able to play if selector pick them? Ain't they gonna be tired????

I would like it too. But, I think they will play SN at no.3, citing experience and what not, but I have little faith in his technique. I think they will pepper him with short balls, only to serve him up a full one, which he will edge promptly. Hope I am wrong.

Yes this will be a real tough call for both of them.Both played in NCL.Rock played at Bogra and Sunny was playing at Rajshahi.Further more sunny bowled 24 over today.Both of them have to come to Dhaka by bus 5/6 hour journey then they will go to CTG.Definately a tough call.When i saw sunny playing at Rajshahi for Dhaka divisional team on 17th i thought he will not play the 1st test.

Thanks Beamer for your openion.I was also thinking about Mushy at #5.But still i have confusion,after doing keeping for whole day it ll be a tough job to bat at #5.
