My name is Mohammed Ashraful Motin... captain of the dhaka division... most prolific test centurion of bangladesh.... loyal to the true test all-rounder Shakib, comrade of a caught opener (imrul).. partner of a squared up batsman (SN) ...and I will have my maiden double century in this life or the next.

CROWD: LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! ASHRAFUL! ASHRAFUL! ASHRAFUL!

Different game, but same emotions. In my opinion, one of the greatest pre-game speeches ... EVER.

[Zunaid]

You guys are missing the mother of all inspirations

[Electrequiem]

^^^ Wow. I shed a single tear.

[SS]

Which message I will give to my beloved players...don't make the same mistake they made in first innings...play game of their lives...a realistic message or a dream message that we put in the forum all the time...no messages will work as it is too late...in our history we rarely scored this much of run in 2nd innings! I am dissapointed but happy that we fought. But was it hard enough or could we have a better fight, i don't have any sayings on that.

Fight is what I would like to see. They should play positive, sensible cricket for the whole day. Playing out the whole day automatically gives us a draw & takes us close to the possibility of a win.

This has got to be the most important day in the careers of many of our players. Not so, for the Indians. We have an advantage there.

If only Nafis Iqbal was present I would let him speak. He alone faced 355 balls in the second innings. This Indian attack is par with what he faced at Dhaka. Mushi is as good as Khaled Mashud. Riyad is better than Rajin. So why not bat out 90 overs. Victory will come automatically. 98 overs is a long time.

We need a century and others to chip in.

Or, only slightly modifying your sig, "You score 170, I score 170, we win match".
