Some exerpts from the second ODI thread…

[billah]

As our batting collapses, once again, frustrated fans posted some funny reactions(mostly in bangla). Extracted these from the match thread.

As the carnage begins with 5/2:

Baundule: I am enjoying it!
like the movie based on a novel already read..

Imran, with his sarcasm: r wicket portese na kano? bhalo lagtese na..Plz out how....

Imran again: 3 over a matro 2ta wicket? dhatt, NZ eita ki kortese?

Imran: Porse naaki r 2/3 ta? Cricinfo to update kortese na..

Sohasan: Kharap kotha koibar mon chai.....Sojjer akta seema achey....

Imran, more sarcasm: use reverse psycology. khela dekhe aram pabe...
4 mara dekhe ami upset..ki shuru korse eita?

Sohasan,At Bashar’s out: gachey... shaash

Imran, responding to Baundule’s “golla 4 maira fataiya falaitese”:
beshi chinta koiren na..ekkhuni out hobe..bowling change korlei bd wicket pore..written in stone, khondabar upai nai...

Imran, at the loss of our 3rd wicket: jaak bachlam..4 over a 3ta porse..ekta kom..inshallah pushai dibe next over a...
Sohasan, as Ash comes to bat: Ashar Fool aichey...
Roaring tigerz: khela shune mone hoitese curtly ambrose ar wasim akram bowling kortese

Sohasan: oooi... shokoley akto narachara dia bosen... shob thik hoiya jaibo.... Gulla 100 Ashraful 100, weket-i ar porbo na...

Imran in response: khobor ta khelar mathe dile khusi hobo..boro boro kotha boila laav nai...Faruq re dhoira jodi ektu mair dewa jaito!

Baundule, when JO is out: Gullu shesh

Imran again: porse porse!!! ish 5 over a 4 ta..ekta kom ekhono...NZ kaamer na..

Little_master: BD is playing not a 20-20 game...a 10-10 game...

Roaring tigerz: ai bar dole k firbo....hannan ar kapali...hehehe

Baundule: 6 over a 11 extra! ei bowling diyai bd top order topless koira dise...shame, shame...

Roaring_tigerz: amio doa kortesi 200 korbo...kintu matha onno kotha koy

Baundule, as Ash falls: fool shesh
Roaring tigerz, as BD score reaches 50: fifty up...talia talia

Asif: Rajin er ajka test khelte hoibo ..... Ash er matha dhanda rakhte hoibo .... rafiq manzurul ar taposh er cairns er moto chokka marte hoibo ... taile shen amgo dream .. hope ...ar hope reality te porinoto hoileo hoite pare

Roaring tigerz: i think even the kiwis r feeling sorry for us

Alomelo: andaje.. shot khelle to out hoiboi....

Baundule, as crickinfo stops commentary: ei drishsho deikha kar ar commentry dite bhalo lage bolen??

Asif, as Pilot builds a partnership: 4th over running .. no fall of wicket .... reason to celebrate

Even Tehsin joins in: 18 run, boro partnership.

Mr. Khan, as BD reaches 71: hhehehehe. cricketinfo te hotat dekhi score 51-4, oe betara mone hoy akhon bissas kore ni j bd 71 korse

Tehsin again: NZ is holding Vettori back. Ektu run diley, orao bat korte parbe. Kharap na buddhi.

Asif, as Vettori is introduced: vettori aise .... bippppppooooooooooooooooodddddd ....

There’s plenty more. Imran was uncanny, he suggested at the beginning of the game that maybe Aftab could share the 5th bowler’s job. As we know now, the rest was history…

If it wasn't for these funny comments, I probably would have beaten my PC with a baseball bat that night. These guys kept it alive throughout. I thought it was worth mentioning. Thanks fans.
