The former Pakistan Test player has picked up vital wickets and shone with the willow when smashing a belligerent 77 from 47 balls in the 21-run win in front of a 17,000 crowd against Chris Gayle’s side, the Barisal Burners.
In praising his Kent and Dhaka team-mate, Stevens said: “Azhar was brought up on Pakistan wickets, which he tells me are very similar to these wickets out here in Bangladesh.
“He admits he struggled a bit in the first couple of games, but he’s flying now and we’re all keeping our fingers crossed that his body holds up and he lasts the rest of the tournament.”

Yes, it was Abahani - mohamadan final game with khaled Mashud keeping. The shot was so fierce that the ball ricochet and came right back to KM. Really sad sad day for all of cricket in BD history.

wasn't it golla who caught the ball after it bounced back from Lamba's head?
thought dhiman was a good batsman but his technique didnt seem good. Anamul did well and wonder what mehrab was doing in the team?
Where is Nazimuddin? and bring in Nazmul for God sake this guy is talented, infact, he is probably the best depth bowler in our country

kervezee cant play spin so he was batted up the order and he got out to a terrific ball and brilliant catch
They played Dhiman when you already have anamul who is doing good job both with bat and K. gloves while you have some1 as good as Nazimudding warming his bench with is innocent bottoms
Azhar, Pollard, stevens thought they had the match in the bag and went after the bowlers hoping for a big margin of victory as their N.R.R is that much. What happened was their plan backfired and they lost by 13 runs...yes, the unlucky number

Nazimuddin was supposed to open but he had fever. So he was warming the bench because germs were warming him . Rubel was sick too.
you know what, I don't even like this team all that much, just supporting cause I'm from Dhaka, otherwise I got more favorite players in Khulna,CTG or Rajshahi.
yes I like MAsh,Pollard & Ash( on song), I
don't like Aftab he makes me laugh and bang my head at the same time,
I don't like the holy spirit of NAzmul flying here & there , appears on rare occasions ,
I don't like the illness of Nazimuddin that kept him warming the bench since the 1st match
I don't like the fact that Anamul is the only BD player to get a MoM award for Dhaka (?)
And I don't like the regular experiment with the batting order.
