BD showing some fighting spirit and fine performance lately in ODI's
I guess Whatmore is concentrating more now on ths side after he lost the hope of getting the coaching assignment of Indian team:D
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
lol...everybody is trying to become Afridi these days...lol
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
Current Partnership: 76 runs, 7.3 overs, RR: 10.13
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
Required run rate: 9.05
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
If the current partnership yields some 300 runs...BD still can win this match...hmmmm
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
although BD will lose the match but they should ensure they make a respectable score. We never know this might help them in the end in terms of their run rate. Imagine a match between BD and aussie which will be abondoned due to rain and in the end both teams ending with similar points. Obviously for that england has to defeat auusie in all thier match and BD have to ensire that they don't give charity bonus points. But that would an entertaining situation for us and humiliating for aussies. I am praying with dedication to see an aussie kickass this summer :D
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
Omer Belim is making things difficult for BD...
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
Tell when they were not difficult. 
Nice batting Ashraful 94 of just 52 balls.
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
well played ashraful......a good fight so far by BD.......
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
Things were always difficult. This was the time, BD should have made them easier and Omer Belim was a bit cautious.
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
BD should play sensibily, they cant chase the target but should try to get 313 to get a bonus point. Its a tough task but not impossible. If they manage 1 point from this game it will help them greatly in the end
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
Anyways…good knock from Ashraful… :k:
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
Agreed…But this partnership will not let BD do that I guess. They are too slow at the moment…
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
I am really hoping for some lose bowling from england. So often we have seen teams become complacent in the end when the opposition cannot chase a huge total and use part timers just to bowl 50 overs quickly. If that happens there is a possibility and then aussies are going to whine:D
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
You mean they will even not be able to save their ashes....
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
181-5
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
392 is to big a taget even for the best teams....
but the way bangladesh has handled this (mostly due to ashraful's heroics) it is really admirable....
i think umar is being a bit selfish and playing very slow....
with bashar and aftab out, i dont think he will have many partners left....
Re: Nat West series - England, BD and Australia.
in the first eng-bng match, lewis and harmisson were on hat-trick but missed....
in this match, first tremlett and now collignwood were on a hat-trick, and also missed....
