Match thread, Bangladesh vs West Indies 1st Test, Kingstown, St. Vincent & Grenadines, 9-13 July, 2009

[ialbd]

So proud of the Tigers.... now plz dont make us wait another 5 years for the next test victory....

[Kabir]

SN will make a good inclusion into the team...but I'm not convinced yet that Ash should be dropped. He's giving our bowling attack a different flavor. He's Mr. 30. If he gets 30 odd runs in every match, he's definitely in my team.

Same here.
Hope he proves everyone wrong in the 2nd Test by playing a big innings

[BANFAN]

Congrats Tigers

It was a perfect team effort. Every player don't do what they are expected to do everyday. Then he comes to do something he isn't expected to do. That's the sign of a great player & his desire to contribute. Weldone boys.

Hope the guys who didn't make desired contribution will come back strongly in the 2nd test. Superb & much needed victory.

I will remember this test win more than our ODI victories!! 5 days of grueling cricket and you win on the final day!!

As an Ash fan you may be sad and that I can understand that. For me removing proven unproductive player from the team is a good news whether its Ash today, Alok yesterday and whoever in future. Unlike what people thinks I have no personal animosity against any players. But when a player stays in the team based on ridiculous basis of talent, experience or past performance and not backed up by present performance and continue to get free pass, I see him as the enemy of the team.

If tomorrow Ash is droped from the team to regain his form back, you wouldn't see me any comment from me about Ash. Alternatively if Ash start performing constantly, you wouldn't see me saying any negative about Ash.

So yes my friend you may be sad for Ash, I am happy for the team with the hope that free ride will be over.

Just when I was thinking where are you,

Awesome performance, at last we have earned something in the elite version.
An away win. Lets rip through them in next match and snatch an innings victory.

According to the theory of relativity its ASH who again made the difference.
And for all CTG people, do not forget Enam is Shyleti .

Good to see ASH contributing with the ball.
It will help to keep him motivated. We need him in form.
He is due for a Eid.

I am so waiting for that....

[PoorFan]

I like Ash's new hair style.

[yaseer]

Slowly but surely ASH is going far from all the attention he used to get.
Hope it works positively for him.

Just came from school and checked cricinfo, OMG what an awesome test victory against a weakened WI side. A win is a win, no matter how one team gets it

[BaCkYaRd_Tiger]
