It has started again. Huge dose of bitterness before they come down to earth and get serious about the game!!

Same story each time. I wonder how long it will continue!

Ash can also play without making aggresive strokes. 10 run facing 91 balls or 33 runs playing 105 balls against Zim proves that. it is the ODI mindset and the glory that brought from the Aussie win and English knock.

[i]Can anyone name another good grafter other then the 2 mentioned above???

Nafiz Iqbal (25.92). he has a test century and two fifties. but his current form is not so good but excellent spin player. Rana (25.7) is the other one. has a test fifty played only 11 innings. Both of them have better average than anyone on the current batsman (except bashar).

[Tehsin]

Very dissapointed. Look at the fall of wicket:
1-9, 2-9, 3-23, 4-68, 5-68, 6-90, 7-117, 8-151, 9-169, 10-195.

We lasted only 45 overs against a C, not even that, may be the D line up. Something tells me that the bowling wasn't the only culprit.

If I am going to take anything from the first innings, it's this - lower your expectations SIGNIFICANTLY.

[Bengal Tiger]

Amazing!!! I really don't know what to say. Hope we perform a miracle like the England series. We played test at first and we sucked, then oneday...we rocked. Where is Shahadat Hossain? Is he not playing? Tapash again proved himself with the bat but he really needsto prove himself with his bowling. He needs a special bowling coach, maybe Andy Roberts. Where is he anyway?

[CricTiger]

I will take one day at a time from now on.So praying for a good first day for BD.Do not care whether they bowl or bat first.One day at a time . session by session ..hour by hour ball by ball ..I am counting ..

[Tigers_eye]

I like the ball by ball approach. all we need is 10 balls quality balls to get them all out. (I pray if we can get 8) any updates?

[kaisermatin]

so is this BD team is a developmental XI or retarded XI? Is this BD team IS actually a BD A team? we have player shortage! quality player shortage! I don't think this is not our favorite big cat HALUM; it's meaow.....

[BanglaCool]

BD players have a mindset problem; they either overconfident or underconfident

[Zobair]

Enamul Jnr. must look to really pick up as many wickets as possible in the practice match. A confident and firing enamul is vital to our prospects of preventing a totally one-sided show.

[cricket_pagol]

I really hope that Enamul gets some wickets during this match. DS reported that he created a couple of chances during his five overs.

It's a practice match, so it's not impossible. BD wants to practice all of the 12 available players and maybe the opposition agreed with it.

Bangladesher Khela scorecard reports Rajib's figures as 11-0-43-0

[Sorry]

bangladesherkhela scorecard:
SDS 412/10

[Mueid]

that is just so pathetic.

[Sticky Wicket]

Every cloud has a silver lining.....so they say. We should look at the positives.....eeerrrrmmmmm, well..........aaaaaahhhhh..........we took 10 wickets!

[Spitfire_x86]

Get ready for innings defeat

[CricTiger]

Can BD save the match now ? Here is the scorecards

Sri Lanks sds 412 and BD 31/1

They only used 45 overs in the first innings. How can they bat 90 overs with 9 wickets? Draw is out of the question. Only one possible outcome. I like the bowling though, 48 extra.

[CricTiger]

I feel pitty for the players .They are going through a bad patch and this is very painful for all of us.

Waiting for a good 3rd day to save the match.If they can save this match then it will be a good confidence booster for BD.

by saving you mean draw? No way, Jose!

[CricTiger]

I heard that morning shows the day but looks like for us its night showing the day ..We are doomed mannnn
