Milestone Watch: Shahriar Nafees getting fastest 1000 ODI runs & 3rd ODI-100!

Ahmed_B · #1 November 29, 2006, 02:30 PM

Shahriar Nafees is on 953 from 28 matches and needs 47 more runs to get to his 1000 runs and he may very well get that tomorrow. It appears that he will be the fastest among BD batsmen to get to his 1000 runs if he gets it soon. Best of luck to him and also hoping he will become the fist BD batsman to get to 3rd ODI hundred in this series... maybe more.

I think he need 300 odd runs to get 1000 runs in this calender year. He have 5+ matches (I do not know abt scots schedule). Good luck SN

That will be really something. Considering SN's current form, it is not unrealistic to expect him to score 301 runs in the next seven ODIs.

But then again, we're falling into the trap of high hopes and great expectations from our players. All I'll say is, I hope he does well, and will stop myself from expecting a whole lot

I think we should play against some reasonable sides.

Hatebreed · #9 November 30, 2006, 01:39 AM

Nafees should get his 1000 runs today! Though I agree with James, we do need to play stronger opponents for both improvement of our players and preparation for the WC, which so far is quite inadequate.

Spitfire_x86 · #10 November 30, 2006, 02:15 AM

He hasn't scored a single ODI 50 in this year against strong teams (we played 8 matches against SL/AUS/WI)

cricket_pagol · #11 November 30, 2006, 03:18 AM

Shahriar nafees just crossed 50. Congrat to him for crossing the 1000 run mark... I hope other batsmen follows his suit. I hope Sakib will do this in fewer matches.

shaoun · #12 November 30, 2006, 04:28 AM

congrats to shariar nafees.

*AsifTheManRahman* · #13 November 30, 2006, 05:04 AM

What a player!!! 3 unbeaten ODI centuries in consecutive matches against Zimbabwe, two of them in back-toback odi's, 1000 runs in 29 matches, at an average of 40+!!! Nafees for President!

Omio · #14 November 30, 2006, 05:15 AM

welldone nafis,,
i can remember he has been throw away in under-19 WC at dhaka by our selector.

PoorFan · #15 November 30, 2006, 05:16 AM

Great job no doubt, especially I liked his attitude, the way he put value to his wicket to achieve 100 and finish the innings unbeaten. After scoring 75+ runs he never rushed to score runs, was a very matured approach according to this match demand.

Once again great job Nafees, please carry on.

Hatebreed · #16 November 30, 2006, 05:21 AM

This boy has the attributes of a true sportsman, skills & temperment of a mature batsman and potential to be our future captain. He's still young and I wish him all the best in many years to come. Keep it up Nafees!

PoorFan · #17 November 30, 2006, 05:28 AM

Well he did it in style! making 3rd 100 in ODI, may be coming more in this series who knows?

Hatebreed · #18 November 30, 2006, 05:28 AM

Congrats to both Nafees and Aftab for reaching their 1000-runs milestone together with very commendable performances that led us to this easy victory.

arafath79 · #19 November 30, 2006, 05:39 AM

Fantasctic performance Nafees!!! Very well done. Please carry on your good innings in your next matches.

Tokyobreeze · #20 November 30, 2006, 06:12 AM

Very much possible if he can maintain current form.

He needs 196 more run to achieve that feat.
