Match thread : 1st Test :Bangladesh vs Pakistan at Chittagong,Dec 9-13, 2011

[Equinox]

Actually slight change to my XI:
Tamim
Ashraful
Naeem
Riyad
Mushfiq*
Shakib
Dhiman+
Nasir
Sunny
Shafiul
Rubel

[Spitfire_x86]

I'm sure somehow Razzak will sneak into the playing XI, as he got 3 wickets today.

Imrul and SN are worse. Hence by virtue of being the least crap of the three options Ash gets in.

[nadim 98]

Few predictions regarding this match:

Kayes and Sahhdat will play and will fail dreadfully

Ash will get a in the first innings to save his place for next 6 months

Shak will get a fifer

No one will score a




Result: Huge win for Pak....hope not an innings defeat!!!

[22Yards]

I wonder if there is SOMEONE in the office thinking of a complete renovation of the infrastructure of our cricket like so many us over here.

[Leafs PWN]

Tell them to bat for 1.5 days. Forget scoring runs. Just stand there.

These guys lack patience and discipline at the crease. It's not like they score when they try to hit. Just stand there.

[NoName]

Kayes is playing? Forget it.

really worried about this match. We haven't lasted even 50 overs in the ODI series.. how are we going to bat out 90+ overs in the Test matches?

[Saifulsohel]

Eber 2 chatgaiya fua(nazimuddin) innings suru korbe je.Eber pakira bujbe je khela kake bole je

[Jadukor]

Form guide of our squad:
1. Kayes : Abysmally out of form
2. Tamim : hopelessly out of form
3. Nafees: already used most of his nine lives
4. Nasir: in form
5. Shakib: 50-50
6. Nazimuddin: in form
7. Mushfiq: 50-50
8. Mahmudullah: in form
9. Rubel: in form
10. Sunny: in form
11. Farhad Reza: doesn't matter if he is in form or not
12. Shahadat: "box office flop" form
13. Nazmul: unknown
14. Naeem: out of form (probably score 6 runs in both innings to keep his title chokka naeem)
15. Ashraful: Eid Form

[Jadukor]

Based on my Form guide... I would say the following players will carry the fight against Pakistan:
With the Bat
1. Mushfiq
2. Mahmudullah
3. Nasir
4. Nazimuddin

With the ball
1. Shakib
2. Sunny
3. Rubel

[Saifulsohel]

Test Squad : Mushfiqur Rahim (capt), Mahmudullah (vc), Tamim Iqbal, Shahriar Nafees, Mohammad Ashraful, Shakib Al Hasan, NaeemIslam, Nasir Hossain, Rubel Hossain, Nazmul Hossain, Elias Sunny, Shahadat Hossain, Suhrawadi Shuvo, Robiul Islam, Nazimuddin.http://www.espncricinfo.com/banglade...ry/544069.html

[Rabz]

Good luck Simon.
Your first match thread ??

I hope you bring some much needed change of luck bro.

About the team selection, I really thought they should have kept Kapali, esp given the turning nature of the Chittagong track.

thank you for your "not so optimistic" wishes.

[chinaman_f]

I am very very disappointed at Ashraful bhai being called back in. And I will stick to it even if he succeeds in the series (not very optimistic about that though). He needed a longer break from this to get his head in line. Like I'd said earlier, another sabotage to the career of Ashraful bhai (I hope it was not intentional, and that our selectors really are myopic.

[simon]

there are bigger fans of Ash in BCB than in BC.
