VB

pitch has nothing in it and we haven't built any pressure since we put Bang 8 down.
Bang batsmen only have themselves to blame for most of the wickets..hoping we can wrap it up below 300 but wouldn't be surprised if these two batsmen carry on past that

332/8

Why the pitches in Ban so shitty?
-
The players saying the pitches very similiar to those in the Caribbean ;D
-
Bullshit
-
Regardless of the ground condition...how de hell the 9th wicket pair could come and score almost 200 runs dread ???
-
Shit happens, Tino Best score a century that's enough proof for me.
-
tino came real close but no century..95 is his top score in both tests and first class
I feel bangladesh will be bowling by the time the first hour of play done tomorrow! Hopefully we get a big score to put pressure on the bang batsmen and only have to bat once
-
could of sworn it was a century

Moment yet to sink in for Abul Hasan
Picked as a fast bowler, Abul Hasan displayed his batting skills and in the process dusted off a record that stood for a 110 years. His innings turned the initiative Bangladesh's way

It was a surreal day for Bangladesh cricket. The recovery from near capitulation, the record ninth-wicket partnership for the country, and the fifty by the No. 8 batsman, were all significant because of Bangladesh's position at 193 for 8. The moment Abul Hasan, a genuine tailender, turned Sunil Narine behind square on the on side for a single, then realised it was placed well enough to pick up a couple, the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium lit up.
As he completed the second run, he had already dropped his bat and then, curiously, celebrated facing the press box before turning to his team-mates in the dressing-room, who were at the edge of their seats after he passed the 80s. He jumped on Mahmudullah's lap and smiled. With a hint of pride and mischief, Abul was smiling like a mischievous kid who had just done something everyone else would be awed by, not only him. He became the first No.10 batsman to score a century on Test debut, after 110 years.
It certainly looked as if everyone had enjoyed his innings. Chris Gayle wanted to know where his bat came from. "It's an English willow, Tamim bhai [Iqbal] got it for me," a bewildered Abul told the media at the press conference, also his first one of this scale. The feat had yet to sink in for the 20-year-old, barely an hour after the day's play.
"I just wanted to bat like a batsman, that's all. [Mahmudullah] Riyad bhai just told me to bat like a batsman," he said. "When I played Under-15 cricket, I was a batsman, then I became a pace bowler."
And his mantra with the bat was simple: "I just wanted to survive the good ball, and take advantage of the bad ball."
However, his team-mates were concerned when the new ball was taken at the start of the 82nd over. "We were enjoying his batting till they took the new ball. That's when we started getting nervous. I think he was around 84," said Tamim.
"This was some innings. I haven't seen any No. 10 do this, not in my career so far. I thought some of his shots were those of a pure batsman. I would have been proud if I had played them," he said.
West Indies coach Ottis Gibson was equally stunned, and praised Abul's effort. "I haven't seen one this dramatic. You actually don't want it to be on the receiving end, you'd like it for your team-mate to do it.
"It's a horrible feeling but he played excellent cricket. He played some fantastic shots, rode his luck at times and he was good in defense when he had to. This is why I love Test cricket."
Abul said his next task would be to help Mahmudullah get to his hundred, and was also aware what his role in the team is, as a new-ball bowler primarily picked for his pace. However, it was a day to talk about batting and the partnership. "I want to support Riyad bhai as much as possible and take this innings further tomorrow morning. Definitely, I want to see him score a hundred."
Coming in as a replacement for Shahadat Hossain as a fast bowler, it would be hard to tell at this stage how it would shape him as a cricketer. But such a start should give him a tremendous boost, especially after he dropped Imran Nazir in a World Twenty20 match in September. The ridicule had hurt him at the time, he said. "After the World Cup, I felt bad thinking maybe my (dropped) catch cost the team a win. But everyone told me, anything can happen," he said.
His unbeaten 172-run ninth wicket stand is a Bangladesh record, and in the process became the third Bangladesh batsman to score a hundred on debut, after Aminul Islam and Mohammad Ashraful.

VB

Narine stueps.

Narine look like he lost his confidence....
Well at least he finally take off he shades
-
Hahahaha permaul last ball of day wicket. Get the man eye big. Good going. I see Sammy had a chat with him before the last ball. Man out for 97 lol. Looking to get he century, too greedy lol.
-
yeah boy man didnt want to go to bed with that century on his mind..now he jus hadda think about how he threw it all away.
Narine cannot be expected to be as good when batsmen who are good players of spin are not being forced to attack him and try and get runs. But this series he has really been bowling garbage. Too often he bowling short and wide where the batsman has all the time in the world to watch which way it is spinning.
Hopefully couple quick wickets tomorrow morning and game over by tea!

Fighting a sleep waiting for cricket. I will watch d first hour.

Bangladesh 287 all out. Best ends with career-best (no pun intended) figures of 6-40 in Bangladesh's second innings. Darren Bravo bailed out Fidel Edwards by taking a catch to give Best the final wicket of Bangladesh's innings. Fidel dropped a dolly of a catch at the end of the previous over.
-
West Indies wraps up the series 2-0, winning by ten wickets.
Well done to Darren Sammy. For a team that has not played that much first-class ticket, Bangladesh has not done badly at all and possess tailenders who can bat. The team may be disappointed, but there are a lot of positives that it can draw from.

West Indies West Indies!
-
all dat cricket and Narine ent get ah wicket!!!
Back to basics...!
-
Tino bowl rel good. Good for him. He surprise me. They cah handle the pace. Imagine If we played 3 or 4 pacers. (Roach, Rampaul, Tino, Edwards)
Nice to see the team happy. This team has something special, hope they keep the same spirit.

:beermug: one step at a time
