NOTE: THIS IS JUST A JOKE

The Battle of Palashi: Nawab of Bengal Sirajuddoula VS Robert Clive @ Palashi, 1757

At the battle of Palashi(2ND TEST MATCH), Sirajuddoula(Shakib Al Hasan) the nawab of Bengal met the British Forces led by Robert Clive(Andrew Strauss) at the battle grounds of Palashi(Old Trafford).

At the beginning of the battle(Match), the Nawab's troops(Shakib Bahini) were fighting well. Then when evening fell, after a great act of betrayal by Mir Jafar(Asoka), the Siraj's force were defeated at the end. When it was afternoon, Mir Jafar told Siraj's troops to retreat(Miss the Ball) and then Siraj retreated in Jafar's wish. Then Jafar told this information to the British troops, who then ambushed the Nawab troops(Hit the pad with the ball).
Then, Siraj's troops were hit by the attack(Ball) by ther british and Mir Jafar said, " Muhahahaha, I have betrayed you. You werent supposed to lose like this but you will, I betrayed you(Gave him intentionally)"

Finally, the british were able to be victorious despite the fact that the Bengalis fared well at the beginning, but the final outcome was all that matteres. Finally, when Siraj was defeated, Mir Jafar was Ascended the throne of Nawab(As BD captain), but could stay there long because he was an incapable ruler(He was not of BDeshi origin). Finally, Mir Jafar was then replaced by his son in law Mir ........

HOW DO YOU LIKE IT GUYZ?

i didn'tt get the idea of sending a nightwatchman at all!shakib should have come down after ash went.the reason is because the weather was fine,the sun was shining,so shakib could have hung around better than rajib.what a waste,rajib aro pore namle aro 20 run korte parto...

[AK420]

^^^ Me to

Just shows how dumb our team management is

BTW, we already have 8 batsmen

[Murad]

Bad news for Bangladesh

Bresnan is out. Sidebottom comes in.

[tkandi4]

In the first test, we scored 282+382=664 runs. Batsmen 1-4 scored 474 runs (71%) while bastmen 5-8 scored only 118 (17%) runs. If batsmen 4-8 could scored some more runs, occupy the crease 20-25 more overs, maybe we could have drawn the series. Hope things will be better next time.

[Purbasha T]

InshaAllah we'll get even better in the 2nd test.

And really good to see our top order doing it for us at Lord's, which has been the main problem in our batting line-up for a loooooong time. Now it's upto our middle and lower order to get their touch back and do what they used to when our top-order didn't click (which was most of the times).

[Dilscoop]

When Shafiul comes back, Shahadat should always go as nightwatchman. When Mash comes back, we will have a very decent tails. All are capable of scoring at least 40-50 runs.

Shafiul already got a 50. He was looking good then. He wouldn't have been out if Naeem hadnt messed him up!!

in the 2nd test, batsman 5-8 will score70% and 1-4 will score 15%.
Just the opposite will happen.
All 11 can never perform well at the same time.

[Dilscoop]

^^ That never happens for any team. But they still finds a way to win it. For Eng, only Struss, Trott, Finn, Anderson (half of him) performed. Cook, KP,Bell, couldn't contribute that much. Swann, their start player was a shocking. But they still found a way to win.

So whole team never performs all at once. Every 1 has bad days, thats when people around him carry them around. That's why its called a TEAM sports

thats why those who perform should perform bigger.

tamim performed
junaid performed
imrul performed
jahurul performed

shakib mushfiq riadh ash did not perform

now we know all will not perform. so we cannot ask more from 5-8 who did not perform. so we had to ask more from who performed.

if imrul, junaid would have gone to score centuries also jahurul and tamim a bigger score we would have certainly survived the morning session with 3-4 wickets remaining and thus continue batting in the sunny post lunch session.

so when its guaranteed that all 8 batsman wont perform u need ur performers to perform big. thats when personal achievements for this performers come into reckonig.

[AK420]

It still shocked me that despite SUCH a good start, we ruined our progress.

[AK420]

We really miss Mashrafee

Whenever we had Mashrafee, we had a good bowling attack, but without him our bowling attack seems toothless

The entire year, we suffered because of poor bowling, and it was Mash who could have made the difference.

Also, Mash could have done better than Ashradullah Al Rahim in the match

[nahaz]

I'm considering betting against Bangladesh (betting for them to lose). Reasons:
1. Old Trafford pitch
2. Under better conditions at Lord's, batsman collapsed in a massive way both times.
3. Bowlers looked so toothless that they don't look like getting england out under 350 either innings. Remember, even a fairly special performance by Shahadat could only tie England down to 500.
4. Its supposed to be coudy for three days this match.

Argue away.....

You will never win any money if u bet against Bangladesh.

The odd for Bangladesh to win is 33/1

Second Test will be a draw
