Anyone got into homeviewbangladesh ? I have been trying for half an hour.

**Tehsin** · #3 October 21, 2003, 10:00 PM

hit the chat.

I am in the chat room and don't see a lot of people there. Cricinfo is not updating. I thought it was supposed to start 1/2 an hour early today.

I am up for another night with the trivia bot.

Sham · #6 October 21, 2003, 10:34 PM

it has just started!

**Mahmood** · #7 October 21, 2003, 11:14 PM

Hannan gone!

We only have 2 more batsmen left. Doesn't seem we can make it to our regular 180.

**Mahmood** · #8 October 21, 2003, 11:19 PM

Rajin gone.

Ok, I am out.

Sham · #9 October 21, 2003, 11:21 PM

This is terrible! Top order gone before we scored 50! Lets try and scratch a century plus score.

Looks like Battyboy has taken the wicket of our only hope Kapali..

it's sad that we STILL need to hope to pass just 100!!

Sham · #11 October 22, 2003, 12:06 AM

When we have to pin our hopes on Mushfiq (batting average 3.33 before this match), we know we are in trouble!

AGC · #12 October 22, 2003, 12:17 AM

I've been looking forward to watching this match live on TV for the last few weeks and must say am terribly disappointed... Bangladesh can't keep on using "laack of experience" as an excuse. This is their 25th test match!

acbizz · #13 October 22, 2003, 12:46 AM

End of over 45 bd 90/5

maiden 17 overs

:duh:

AGC · #14 October 22, 2003, 01:04 AM

Mushfiq playing better than usual. Khaled has style.

**Nasif** · #15 October 22, 2003, 01:18 AM

The length of bd batting is solely on this two now. We should bat until post tea today (at least). It would be great if we can bat out all day (highly unlikely, 99% sure).

Sham · #16 October 22, 2003, 02:06 AM

First we need to get to tea, then we'll think about close of play.

**Tehsin** · #17 October 22, 2003, 02:18 AM

Bangladesh 112/5 (59.2 ov)

Mushfiqur Rahman (RHB) 19 101 1 0 18.81
Khaled Mashud (RHB) 22 82 2 0 26.83

Current Partnership: 40 runs, 28.5 overs, RR: 1.39

Mitigating circumstances notwithstanding, it is a harsh indictment of the top order when number 6 and 7 are the top rungetters for your team.

**Tehsin** · #19 October 22, 2003, 02:42 AM

Mushfiqur Rahman (RHB) 34 119 2 0 28.57

Khaled Mashud (RHB) 27 98 2 0 27.55

Current Partnership: 60 runs, 34.3 overs, RR: 1.74

At one stage 100 was the target and 150 was suspect.

Mushfique and Pilot has provided the heroics of the day. Back in the dressing room is our introspective captain preparing himself to play the proverbial 'Captain's Inning'? What was Tupac thumping to down Las Vegas boulevard: All Eyez on me?

reinausagi · #21 October 22, 2003, 02:59 AM

Hold that thought. El Capitan lasted 3 balls.

reinausagi · #22 October 22, 2003, 03:27 AM

Rafique is in a most belligerent mood. He just it Batty for a six, and then hit Giles for another six in the next over.

Hasib · #23 October 22, 2003, 03:37 AM

Thanks to Allah, Mashud gets his maiden test 50! Also thanks to Allah Rafiq hits a 6!

Hasib · #24 October 22, 2003, 03:37 AM

And know Mashud gets out...

Hasib · #25 October 22, 2003, 03:38 AM

I mean now
