Don't ask, don't expect. Just watch the Night-riders-Destination-Unknown.

Get mentally prepared for heavy loss. If they do anything better then you will be happy. When BD playing ODI pessimism is the way to go...

chinaman · #4 November 12, 2003, 02:16 AM

We won the toss. Will be batting. Again.

it started again!!

moniruzzaman gone ......

bd_cricket · #8 November 12, 2003, 03:26 AM

Hannan gone

bd_cricket · #9 November 12, 2003, 03:29 AM

Hannan was dropped in the last ball he faced.
Bashar was lucky to get the last 4. Could have been out.

11.5 Kirtley to Habibul Bashar, FOUR, pitches just outside off and
swings in, drives and gets big iner edge just passed teh
outstretch hands of Keeper to fine leg boundary

25 for 1, at the end of the 10th over. Exactly 25 short of a halfway decent batting, but not bad, considering..

billah · #11 November 12, 2003, 03:32 AM

Bashar was completely stumped. He just woke up, took his usual rash shot, then ran Hannan out.

bd_cricket · #12 November 12, 2003, 03:34 AM

I think today we tried 9th or 10th new opening partners with hannan and moniruzzaman and didn't work out as usual.

billah · #13 November 12, 2003, 03:36 AM

35/2, the same old feeling..

billah · #14 November 12, 2003, 03:38 AM

Moniruzzaman was there unnecessarily anyways.

billah · #15 November 12, 2003, 03:50 AM

In the first ODI, disaster struck right after the drinks (16th over). In the second one, we were already in deep trouble by the 16th. Today, 43/2 at the drinks, no wickets fell on the 17th over. Don't want to jinx anything...

Zobair · #16 November 12, 2003, 04:04 AM

so far so good....may be the plan is to see off our nemesis flintoff....coz we better accelerate soon if we wanna make a meal of it.

billah · #17 November 12, 2003, 04:06 AM

This is how BD used to play ODIs in the early days. Often, they would bat out the alloted overs with small totals.

bd_cricket · #18 November 12, 2003, 04:08 AM

Flintof only conceded 6 runs in 5 overs.
Our batsmen are too scared of him.

bd_cricket · #19 November 12, 2003, 04:10 AM

Is this a record: BD won the toss all the matches in a series and loses all the matches (I wish not).

billah · #20 November 12, 2003, 04:20 AM

Half the overs are gone, 66 runs. Is our fate sealed in this game?

Zobair · #21 November 12, 2003, 04:21 AM

clarke strikes first ball!!! a collapse imminent?!?!??!

billah · #22 November 12, 2003, 04:22 AM

Mushfiq in? We need Alok now, not Mushfiq!

billah · #23 November 12, 2003, 04:25 AM

Clarke also went for 9 runs in that over.

bd_cricket · #24 November 12, 2003, 04:27 AM

they discovered alok has a problem with the newer ball - so they will send him after 25 overs.

Zobair · #25 November 12, 2003, 04:27 AM

collapse yet?!?!
