Match Thread: 3rd ODI: Bangladesh v Pakistan at Chittagong, Dec 6, 2011

[idrinkh2O]

To be creative...I would send Shakib and Nasir to bat first and then send the top-order batsmen...

or,

If I were Law, I would let Rubel and Shafiul/Nazmul to do the opening. They can't do worse than 31/5 or 19/4.

In that case, my batting line up would be...

1.Rubel
2. Shafiul/Nazmul
3. Sunny/ Razzak
4. Riyad
5. Alok
6. Nasir
7. Shakib
8. Mushfiq
9. SN
10. Tamim
11. Nayeem (cause he eats up lots of dot balls)

**Just for 3rd ODI only

[Bronco]

i would open with shakib and nasir to be honest..idk i think if these two are given enough balls, they can stay and build a base for someone like tamim to come later on and finish up

Day/night game. It didn't use to be for ZAC, but looks like the floodlights tested out fine during the last WI tour and all ODIs will now be d/n games. D/N games maximize revenue as more people can come in to catch the 2nd innings after work.

As if there is a difference between opening and batting at number 3? Ourr number 3 has to go out to bat within the first 5 overs just about every single time

Asalaam O Alaikum brothers iam back ............ iam sorry for whatever wrong i said , looking forward to an interesting Match today , Pakistan Team will test their bench strength today , lets hope Bangladeshi Team bat agressively today , there should have been 5 ODI matches in this series , 3 matches dont make sense

Not a bad squard but Law is not interested about playing with 8 batsman.

You know the team isn't doing well when fans start praying "please don't get out on this ball" instead of "please hit a six on this ball"...

[bujhee kom]

Hello Bros..Khela Inshallah jombey bhalo ajkey!

[Rabz]

You know the team isn't doing well when the match thread has only 3 pages before the actual match begins.

[hoodlum]

Still no news about the lineup

[al-Sagar]

kee obostha ???

Ditto..so true...

[ma_o_mati]

nazmul should retire...there is no point of being a very good bowler and not being picked....

[bujhee kom]

Toss: Pakistan win and choose to bat. Their XI does not include Sarfraz, Khalil, Farhat and Cheema are not playing today. Bangladesh bring in Farhad Reza and Alok Kapali, for Rubel Hossain and the utterly out of form Imrul Kayes.

Hello folks. Welcome to the third ODI. Are you praying that Bangladesh doesn't bestow a dreary evening upon us by playing for another draw? I am. Toss and team details coming your way in a moment.

[idrinkh2O]

Bismillah! Allah Malik!

Bujte parchi je aajke kichu ekta hobe iA, hopefully something positive...

- Tamim will do something
- SN will do something
- VC wouldn't contribute much (hope I'm wrong)
- Mushfiq will do something
- Pakistan will target Shakib and Nasir
- Shakib, Rubel, Sunny will get wickets
etc. etc. etc.

At the end, we'll win inshaAllah! ...just a fool's hope!

I would be working on my class project and watch the game at the same time! So TIGERS, don't disappoint me!

GO Bangladesh!

[ma_o_mati]

Reza instead Rubel....r u kidding me

[nadim 98]

Rubel dropped?????

[Dilscoop]

Why does crap info always whine and bitch when BD plays for a "draw?" (what else was there to do when they were 5 down?)

[Dilscoop]

IDK why they'd drop Rubel? Selectors just love Shafiul. What can Reza do? Score more runs than Rubel? Or take more wickets than Rubel?

I hope Alok gets a big score. I'm really rooting for him.

[Zeeshan]

BC's best kept secret

[patriot]

I cant stand this Farhad Reza . Cant bat , cant field and balling definitely crap.
