I was very fortunate enough myself to be at one Bangladesh's victory, in Wales in a small stadium called Sabina park,when the team beat the number team in world. I know that when the winning moment comes, you just feel so happy, proud, and exhausted at the same time.

I hope somewhere in the near future I see Bangladesh's victory live again.

Bhai, I think you mean Sophia Gardens. The ground is now called the SWALEC stadium (have no idea why?)...

I haven't been back in 5 years, but from what I remember, the packet lunches (biryani/morog polao) in the stadium area were actually pretty decent and not so overpriced.

Even when NZ fielders were on 30 yard circle he was driving so hard that ball were reaching to the fielders instantly; a soft touch might yield him a single; need to improve his running between the wickets.

That's very much in sync with my observations from the match highlights. Ashraful, on the other hand, was his usual arrogant, free-flowing self. Too bad he decides to get himself out so often, because it takes a gem of a ball to send him packing otherwise.

These are so useful & detailed analysis that I feel ... these should reach to those hands. Great job Thebest again.

Though there was lots of women spectator in the field, all the toilets were unisex making virtually for men only. There was no basin, no urinal; just a cement space to urinate. Then the Mash incident; It was so insane to put loader behind advirtising board. And I fail to see those move away even after the incident. May be they did it during lunch break but not definetly after the incident. Because I glued my eyes what Mash was doing till he slowly moved back to pavilion. He was getting treatment for more than 10 minutes (around 3 overs) and this time no attempt was made. They just arrange the advirtisement board keeping the loader behind the advirtising board.
...
Tamim: He started well but fall into the trap. We were talking that NZ bowlers were trying to force him drive. He obliged after one /two cracking drive through mid on. But the boy need to learn how to find gap. Some of his beautiful shots went straight to fielders. A little away it would have been four.
...
Zunaid: He was scrachy at the beginning but I still appreacite he was playing himself not tried to bursting it out. He played too many uppish shot, fortunately for him nobody was there. He was not middling even when he was in his 40s. This boy also need to play soft. Even when NZ fielders were on 30 yard circle he was driving so hard that ball were reaching to the fielders instantly; a soft touch might yield him a single; need to improve his running between the wickets. Both he and Mush missed couple of runs due to poor first run or not starting quickly. Also during fielding need to learn about bowlers speed so that where ball would reach. After fall of first wicket (or is it second), Mush was actually keeping much more closer to wicket than the slip cordon. If they followed Mush's lead Mash might have his second (or third) earlier as an edge just falls short of slip cordon
...
Mushy: One thing come into mind; Vettori put a long off and mid on and deliver flighted ball. He wanted to Mushy to go over the top, playing againest the spin. But Mushy did not did that, instead he pushed the ball to long off. After three / four balls, Vettori give up. But like Tamim, Zunaid he also need to learn how to pierce the field. Many of his eye catching shots went straight to fielders; also need to improve running between the wickets. Though he got himself out playing a foolish shot in other day it might have been a six over sqaure leg. He got a top edge and forced to play the shot as he was bogged down playing too many hard shot straight to fielders. If he played some of those straight and cover drive in soft hand that shot might not have been needed. He kept competantly but I think he need to talk with his slip cordon where to stand. There was a run out chance he missed; but I would rather put the blame on fielder than Mushy as he has to collect the ball outside the crease and through the ball with big gloves on.
...
Ash : This is not an Ash special to the spectators; nonetheless a great innings more than run a ball. He was piercing the field at will and only time he played uppishly when he hit that six. Tamim, big Z and Mush should watch this innings how to place the ball and Ash should watch this innings how to score run a ball without playing fancy shot.

Thanks bro, I must be the perfect [literal] 'Goru' on this forum, as long as cricket is concern.

[SMHasan]

I am going to the ground tomorrow once again, willing to witness the first ever series win. Hope Pasha (Nocturnal) bhai will join me.

** Currently I don't have the internet connection thus I can't post regularly. I am sorry for that. Will catch up soon.

All the best everybody. I am excited for tomorrow.

Heavy work load.

Thank you thebest.


And Rabz, what do you expect when you spend a meager $1.50 for lunch?
