Bangladesh on verge of another famous victory....

2nd ODI: Bangladesh v Sri Lanka at Bogra, 22 Feb 2006

Sri Lanka 212 (49/49 ov)
Bangladesh 206/6 (45.1/49 ov)

Bangladesh require another 7 runs with 4 wickets and 23 balls remaining

i think they shud win it easy from here, if they just dont get too excited…

marvellous bowling effort and a good steady chase…

Re: Bangladesh on verge of another famous victory....

Bangladesh win by 4 wickets.
This is first time they have beaten Sri Lanka. Ashraful played well
for his 51 and Aftab in the end did a wonderful job.
The series is now levelled at 1-1.
Jubliant scenes at the ground, they have created History.

Wasim tells Ponting to shut up

DHAKA, Feb 23: Former Pakistani fast bowling great Wasim Akram has hit out at Australia skipper Ricky Ponting for suggesting that minnows Bangladesh be ousted from Test cricket.

“Mr Ponting you must keep your mouth shut and look back to what they did against you in Cardiff last year and take a note of the latest one against Sri Lanka,” Wasim wrote in his column in The Daily Star newspaper here on Thursday.

“His (Ponting’s) duty is to play cricket and not to think about which teams will play at this level,” said Wasim, who bagged 414 wickets in 104 Tests and 502 in 356 one-dayers.

Wasim’s comments came a week after Ponting told Britain’s Daily Telegraph that Bangladesh and fellow-strugglers Zimbabwe should be stripped of Test status.

“What I would not have is the minnow nations in the World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy, and I would not have Bangladesh and Zimbabwe playing Tests at present,” Ponting said in an interview.

Wasim, who is here as a television commentator, said Bangladesh had the ability to beat any team in top-class cricket.

“The win (against Sri Lanka) once again gave an indication that Bangladesh can beat any team in the world if they play up to their potential,” he said.

Bangladesh have lost 35 and drawn four of their 40 matches since gaining Test status in 2000. Their lone win came against a depleted Zimbabwean side at home last year.

They have won just 11 of their 117 one-dayers, beating Australia, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka once and Zimbabwe four times. Their other wins came against non-Test-playing nations, Kenya, Scotland and Hong Kong.—AFP

Thank God Almighty! At least someone had the courage to stand up in front of Australia and contradict their views. The time when Akram stood up against Ehsan Mani of the ICC regarding the issue of discrimination of sub-continental players (If I remember correctly); that, and this one. Even though I do partly agree that these former ex-cricketers (Imran, Wasim) are magnetizing the audience towards them by forming their opinions on subjects that most are brushing under the carpet, but the actual content that they are have both raised their voices upon is nothing short of bull’s-eye. Straight on the target every time.
