[Eshen]

Bangladesh A squad for first four-dayer against Zimbabwe: Liton Kumar Das, Shadman Islam, Marshall Ayub, Farhad Hossain, Raqibul Hasan, Sabbir Rahman, Naeem Islam, Nurul Hasan (wk), Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Zubair Hossain, Saqlain Sajib, Shahadat Hossain, Mohammad Shahid, Muktar Ali

[al Furqaan]

9 or 10 of their 20 have caps with 4-5 projected to play in the senior side. So recently strong team here.

Good to see kamrul rabbi in a team after a long time.

Is shahid another spinner? Or a pacer?

Pacer. He's supposed to be a good prospect too

[naim519]

gonna lose all of em

[Eshen]

Naeem got the captaincy for the first match. BCB suppose to provide live score here http://www.digicricket.marssil.com/m...ent.aspx?id=82

Match will start at 9:30 local time.

[Murad]

Is he going to be our future captain? Stupid selectors!!

Why not give the captaincy to someone young who has potential to be our future national captain.

Naeem is the senior player so lets make him the captain.. farukre fire kora uchit.

[jeesh]

Thats so true. Should have used this as an opportunity to nurture a younger captain. Shows the thinking of our selectors.

[Roni_uk]

Why isnt Naeem Islam in the National team Test squad. He would have been much better than kopa samsu?

[Tiger Manc]

Zim A 203/8. Saqlain Sajib has 7 wickets so far!! Well done lad!

[Tiger Manc]

Make that 8

[Tiger Manc]

82/9 for Saqlain Sajib!! Zim collapse from 103/1 to 206 all out

[Gowza]

so much for sajib being in poor form, then again it is zimbabwe A.

[Murad]

Zim A 206 all out in 74.1 overs (Vusi Sibanda 62, Chakabva 64) Saqlain Sajib 9/82 & Farhad 1/26

Ban A 30/0 (13 over) Liton 23*(43) and Sadman 4*(38).

[Murad]

Jubair Hossain should have bowled more than 10 overs. Our bhua captains always rely on SLA only. They hardly give the ball to leggies or pacers.

I know Sajib was excellent but that doesn't mean we have to bowl him all the overs. Noor Hossain is already out of the picture.

[al Furqaan]

Was really hoping Jubair would get a few. Need variety in spin. Jubair was on major cricket debut!

[Tiger Manc]

^^Good spot

Saqlain Sajib wrecks Zimbabwe A

http://www.espncricinfo.com/banglade...ry/780589.html

Best figures in an innings by a Bangladeshi bowler in first class matches

[Eshen]

Congrats to Saqlain.

However, I find it worrisome that our bowling attack is still an one-trick pony, even against Zimbabwe.

Well between Shahadat, Shahid, and Saqlain. Its not really a surprise. Jubair has never played FC, List A, or T20 cricket before. Shahid is unheard of and rajib is well just Rajib. We could have put any SLA out there and they would returned a bagful of wickets.

[jeesh]

Quite a few senior Zimbabwe players. They will use this tour as a chance to get used to the spin, the conditions. On the other hand if our guys bowl like how Sajib did today, they will be coming in October very fearfully.

[Tiger444]

Saqlain should be a lock to make the Test team now. He's very unlucky to not get a chance yet in the national team but with this display, you'd think he'd make it now.

Hope Shadman and LKD can convert here and get a big partnership

[Equinox]

Heard on the news that the ceiling in the Bangladesh dressing room collapsed during the match but luckily no one was in the room when it happened.

[Eshen]

As per daily star, it is a typical low-slow wicket. Sounds like BCB has no plan to prepare for the next WC in Aus-NZ.
