hehe Shipon da,
magar I wouldn't mind if Ash& Junaid replace Rock & Kaedge, eventhough I would still wait & see how Rock performs in the 2nd inn,But JS replacing Kaedge is a must.
Junaid is a Test batsman,technique isn't good engh but solid Test temperament,Besides he has some good records VS Pak.

[rinathq]

We need another 50-60 runs at least followed by a good bowling and fielding to come back even for the game

[Dhakablues]

Realistically, we wont add more than 50 runs but thats sufficient as long as the target is 380 ish for 4th innings and we dont send Imrul Kayes to open with Tamim...!!!

anything above 250+ in 4th innings scares me. Dudh baath spinners from WI are making the ball turn sideways.

Realistically Windies will give us a target of 450+

[Night_wolf]

1st things 1st, we need to get that lead below 100...that should be the 1st priority today

but we don't have Sir Ash now

Shuvo looks very uncomfortable at the crease. I can't really imagine why.

for WI to post lead of 450...they would have to score 300. if WI spinners are turning it what will Shakib and Nasir do? Bishoo is ordinary. and not Jarvis/Vitori ordinary...he's real ordinary...every other ball is a long hop

True that. Sakib/Nasir/Naeem/Shuvo will really get some purchase off this wicket. Inshallah, West Indies wont score too much in their second innings. Heck, we should get Rajib to bowl some legbreaks just so we don't have to see him bowling "pace." Who knows, maybe he'll grunt during his legbreaks...

[Rifat]

Never Give up Hope

[beshideshi]

If only we had Nayeem and Nasir in at the end of the play. The run out really hurt us, I don't expect many runs from Shuvo or from Khan. Hoping for another 60-70 runs but expecting 30odd.

I was really gutted the way Nayeem got out, he should have just stayed calm and tried to come back today. Could have been a massive boost for us.

I was sleepy the entire night but that run out got me up on my feet cursing vehemently.

[shuziburo]

If this is true, why didn't Loitta use his 'connections' to set the offenders 'straight?' If he could not, what is the point in his being a top rongbuzz?

শুক্রবার রাতে বাড়ি থেকে একটি জরুরি ফোন আসে সানির মোবাইলে। ছেলে এখন বড় ক্রিকেটার হয়েছে, পাওনা টাকা দিয়ে দাও_ এ দাবিতে সানির এক নিকটাত্মীয় রাতে সানিদের বাড়িতে সদলবলে চড়াও হয়। ঘটনাটা এতটাই বাজে মোড় নিয়েছিল যে, সানিকে বাধ্য হয়েই হোটেল থেকে তার লালবাগের বাড়িতে ছুটে যেতে হয়। গভীর রাত পর্যন্ত সেখানেই পাওনাদারদের সঙ্গে দেনদরবার করতে হয়। এলাকার মুরবি্বদের নিয়েও সালিশি বৈঠকেও সমঝোতা হয়নি।
আমার ম্যাচ আছে, আমাকে ছেড়ে দিন_ পাওনাদারদের কাছে সানির এ আর্তি কোনো প্রভাব ফেলেনি। সুত্র জানায়, এক পর্যায়ে স্থানীয় সাংসদ ডা. মোস্তাফা জালাল মহিউদ্দিনের হস্তক্ষেপে ইলিয়াস সানি টিম হোটেলে ফিরে যান।

বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট বোর্ডের (বিসিবি) একটি সূত্র বিষয়টি নিশ্চিত করে জানায়, 'সানি গতকাল থেকেই মানসিকভাবে বিধ্বস্ত ছিল। চট্টগ্রাম টেস্টে অমন একটা পারফরম্যান্স করার পরও বাড়ির ঝামেলা থেকে নিজেকে মুক্ত করতে পারেননি। একসময় এমন অবস্থা হয়ে যায় যে, দেশের হয়ে খেলার চেয়ে তার পরিবারকে বাঁচানোটাই সানির কাছে বড় দায়িত্ব হয়ে দাঁড়ায়। নিরুপায় হয়ে সানিকে রাতেই বাড়িতে যেতে হয়।

How many inning of 300+ have there been in test cricket? What percentage? Anything over 250, WI might be sitting pretty.

There is runout and there is RUNOUT. Guess which this was...

[Boomerang]

So i guess we should take the hard line. i mean score as many runs as possible by swinging the bat.

my guess


RUNOUT

[Ajfar]

If we had Shaif he could have whacked a few deliveries. He did score 50 against England.

[NoName]

Keep calm and carry on boys, the 1st test we won against WI, we score 238 and they scored 307 and we still won, granted the margin is much bigger this time I think we may be still able to pull it off.

That was a really overrated 50. Indeed, a 50 is a 50 in the books but Cook, showing his inexperience didn't want to put a 3rd man in even though Shaf scored 90% of his runs through edges down to the 3rd man boundary.

[SS]

We need wonders on day three...hope they can give some more runs...nijer desher mati teo aei bhua batsmen gula run korte parena

Can't wait for the match to start...

Need to sleep, work tomorrow. But, have to watch as much as I can...
