What do you think will be a good first-innings score?

"I think it is a good achievement that we batted one whole day," Tamim said. "It is difficult to say how much we'll score since this isn't a fast-scoring wicket. Batsmen have to work hard on it. I think 320-350 will be a very good score.
"Normally when I drive a ball away from the body, it comes to the bat easily but it wasn't coming here. Hitting the ball was difficult unless it was pitched up or a really bad delivery."

I say strive for 420...

to get to 420 we seriously need some contribution from Shahadat.

Zeeshan · #3 October 21, 2011, 05:33 PM

911 emergency, I want to add a poll..

Roni_uk · #4 October 21, 2011, 05:37 PM

450 at least but got to do it by tea. Don't forget they have Chanderpaul and he is like a brick. If we can't get him early enuf...forget about playing in the second innings

Fazal · #5 October 21, 2011, 05:41 PM

450+ will make me really happy.

Anything below 350 will be a disappointment.

400+, Mushfiq and Naeem is pretty much the last dependable pair as I'm not too sure about Nasir and Sunny being so great with the bat on debut, glad to be proven wrong though. Besides, Shahadat and Rubel are no Mortaza to get some runs with the bat.

Dilscoop · #8 October 21, 2011, 06:02 PM

We have to settle for a min. score. Too many settled batsmen failed to stay on and take the responsibility to take the score up.

And I'm not expecting much from Nafees either. It will be great if can come out and support Rahim. But I think he will be little shaken up.

450 would be good but really i dont want them to score that taking all day. They should 2 sessions score a something around 150-180 runs more giving them 400-420. Remember it has been raining so i see no way how they will score 100 runs each session for a 450-470 by the third session. If we wanna win the game we will have to give them a session and pick up at least 2 wickets. But if Tigers wanna go for draw, go ahead bat all day if u can

Dilscoop · #10 October 21, 2011, 06:34 PM

We are not gonna get 450. Get over yourself fans! I can already see many frustrated bunch tonight. Can't believe I'm saying this
but like js once said, "i didn't set the bar very high and the boys didn't let me down"

400 i think is par or a good total...375 acceptable, 350 bear minimum to feel "good". anything less, is a poor score.

Dilscoop · #12 October 21, 2011, 06:38 PM

If Rahim gets a ton, we'll go past 375

Although we have got wickets in hand, we are very unpredictable. I would say, target 375 now..anything more is bonus.

Murad · #14 October 21, 2011, 07:29 PM

355/5 on Day 1 to 427 all out in the next morning.

Dekha jak ei match e ki hoi.

zainab · #15 October 21, 2011, 07:48 PM

350 to 375 might be on the cards if the batsmen can hold on until tea.

TigerEz · #16 October 21, 2011, 08:08 PM

400 would be amazing but if we cant get that i think 375 would be cool

22Yards · #17 October 21, 2011, 08:20 PM

Lets not have a target of total in mind but how longer can we survive on the wicket today. I say if we can play upto tea today it will easily add another 150+. This is test for crissakes. Target time not total.

IanW · #18 October 21, 2011, 08:31 PM

400 would be a very good score, but Tanim could be right on 320 being a pass mark - certain balls kept low, and there was turn.

do you have us batting at 1.5 an over???

if we bat till tea, based on current RR we will get over 400. if rahim wishes to accelerate with teh tail, even more. i think rahim should look to bat the whole innings...but then who keeps wicket when we bowl 10 mins after that?

bujhee kom · #20 October 21, 2011, 09:12 PM

450-470 minimum!

wiseshah · #22 October 21, 2011, 09:19 PM

i think we will score 320 maximum.

shabbir · #23 October 21, 2011, 09:30 PM

Anything above 350 I will be happy considering our past record

WarWolf · #24 October 21, 2011, 09:47 PM

400 is acceptable from here on. But 450+ would really make me happy.

Dilscoop · #25 October 21, 2011, 11:16 PM

Everyone keeps saying 400. 450+ just think about it. Who's gonna take us there? Even if Rajin gets a 100. Unless...(TBC)
