Whatever...that doesn't mean we won't try.

Sammy has a knack of getting wickets in Test cricket....

Murad · #**2828** October 25, 2011, 02:00 AM

all over for Tamim, again gift-wraps his wicket and puts a ribbon on top.

They are making Sammy looking like a lethal bowler.

Ather talking to much

deshimon · #**2831** October 25, 2011, 02:03 AM

They are batting in Test style not in the demand of situation.

any link plz?
thanks a lot.

deshimon · #**2833** October 25, 2011, 02:05 AM

When Tamim starts taking run fast, give his wicket.

Miraz · #**2834** October 25, 2011, 02:05 AM

This is frustrating to watch. We do not get opportunities like this very often. It's criminal to waste them like this. Expected better from Law.

They are taking unnecessary pressure. Getting into defensive mode allows the fielding side to attack.

Once a loser always a loser.

egulo change hobe na.

kalke naeem ekta time waste korse ar ajke era.

don't know where we are heading to. they don't learn. they don't know how to take advantage of situations.

Raqibul off the mark.

shivfan · #**2838** October 25, 2011, 02:14 AM

I guess Kirk dropped that catch, because he got two lives of his own when he batted....

deshimon · #**2839** October 25, 2011, 02:16 AM

52 including this one.

WarWolf · #**2841** October 25, 2011, 02:19 AM

Score 25 odd runs quickly and declare.

Murad · #**2842** October 25, 2011, 02:22 AM

29 over sesh ekhono o bishu er dekha nai.

I guess it was always heading for a draw if we could not take out WI cheaply. It seems that we are too scared to try and set a total quickly and allowing our bowlers some time to have a go.

Even now its still possible, really attack for the next 10 overs, set a target of about 260 from 40 and declare. I guess thats impossible with the two batsmen in the middle.

deshimon · #**2844** October 25, 2011, 02:24 AM

So Bagladesh should score fast & give them a target 250+ runs with 40+ overs. Then we can expect a positive result.

WarWolf · #**2845** October 25, 2011, 02:24 AM

All I can say is we are acting cowards.

As usual, it seems the only time our batsmen show some corage is when they have to chase a low total.

I guess this is batting practice for the next test.

deshimon · #**2847** October 25, 2011, 02:27 AM

What a batting by Rock. 5 off 21 balls.

PaperTiger · #**2848** October 25, 2011, 02:27 AM

Why are they still playing?

Equinox · #**2849** October 25, 2011, 02:28 AM
