Bangladesh v India, Game 3, Kitply Cup, Dhaka, 12th June

Sure to be a tight one...

India's bench strength should be tested in this game. Ishant especially should be rested as should Dhoni (he is playing non stop cricket far far too long now) but he won't be.

PS: If we lose this game by 218 runs Pak and B'desh would contest the finals.

Gony will make his debut for India.

India's tormentor at WC'07 Tamin gone for duck.

The cricinfo commentator is plugging cricket forums so I sent off a message about flaming bails.

Will have to wait for some more time. May be in Asia cup.

B'desh have gone backwards after Whatmore's exit.

Cricinfo mentions that B'desh are yet to score a run in front of wicket. Now that has to be some sort of record. I mean how a team can't do that for 9 overs!!!

Bangladesh currently 6/190 off 45 overs. Any score over 200 in an international is reason for them to celebrate.

Raqibul Hasan made 89 but according to Cricinfo was severely hampered by cramps in the latter stages of his innings. He has a FC triple century to his credit although it was made against Sylhet Division & we all know how weak they are.

Raqibul is probably one of their best prospects. Expect to see him in the Test team soon.

gambhir dropped again, has to be the luckiest batsman i have seen

sehwag going mental! and he's OUT. 59 off 32. oh well

GO INDIA!

9.6 Dolar Mahmud to Sehwag, OUT, He's got him this time. Another short ball, Sehwag hooks it, makes better contact this time and it goes straight to Tamim Iqbal at square leg
V Sehwag c Tamim Iqbal b Dolar Mahmud 59 (32b 7x4 2x6) SR: 184.37
9.5 Dolar Mahmud to Sehwag, 2 runs, short ball, Sehwag goes for the hook, top edges it, balloons in the air but it falls safe. No luck for Bangladesh so far
9.4 Dolar Mahmud to Sehwag, SIX, What a shot! A repeat of the previous six in this over, pummelled over extra cover again
9.3 Dolar Mahmud to Sehwag, FOUR, very poor bowling, down the leg, Sehwag helps it on its way for another four and his fifty comes up
9.2 Dolar Mahmud to Sehwag, FOUR, Four this time, a long hop, Sehwag transfers his weight to the back foot and swings to the midwicket boundary
9.2 Dolar Mahmud to Sehwag, 1 wide, Another wide down leg. 8 runs of 1 ball in this over
9.1 Dolar Mahmud to Sehwag, SIX, slightly overpitched, well oustide off and Sehwag blasts it over extra cover for a six . Stunning shot that

sehwag in an over. well encapsulated

They need a session with a therapist after a session with the rapists.

You've not seen much of Symonds, have you?

shouldve put money on gambhir getting a 100....so predictable

FFS, what does Gambhir have to do to get you guys off his back? He's now averaging close to 40 in ODI's and he's scred runs against everyone in the last year. Who would you rather have opening the batting, Uthappa???

he's okay. but more than a hint of FTB about him. great against spin (best in the side), but from what ive seen very average against quality pace. cant see him scoring consistently against SA, aus or eng.

Half analyst, half therapist.

That from Arrested Development?

I can't see the picture but I can figure out what it is. Hopefully the AD movie will get the go ahead, it'd be better than shite like Sex and the City.

Without a doubt. And whats funny is that he requires luck against minnows as well.

That is not fair Goel. Gambhir is playing as good as he can. And if he is lucky, what is Symonds who if doesn't get help from the opposition fielders, is invariably rescued by umpires in every series?

I'm willing to give Gambhir a go in the coming test series vs Sri Lanka. He is much better than Jaffer in facing quality pace and spin. Remember what Jaffer against the quality pace of Lee?
