এই ম্যাচ না দেখলে আফসোস হইত!!!! অনলাইনে ছোট পর্দায়- তাতে কি! ================= The entire cast and crew from Bangladesh rush out to greet their captain. It still confounds me as to why he was never considered for an IPL contract. Is the rest of the world watching? They better. The players walk out, draped in the Bangladesh flag and Shakib has one over him too. He didn't just warm the seat for Mashrafe Mortaza, he set it on fire. His innings came off just 97 balls, that too against Darren Sammy who was breathing fire. We shouldn't forget the contribution from Raqibul who started the rebuilding phase. Occupying the crease was the prime motive of the pair and that helped get them in position to seal the win. So Bangladesh have done what was expected of them. They wouldn't have settled for anything less. Whether the wins were convincing enough is a discussion for another day and perhaps another forum. For the moment, let them toast the success. It's not their fault that the opposition was not world class. Stay with us for the presentation. 54.4 Roach to Shakib Al Hasan, SIX, he seals it with a six! The captain leads the way, he leans forward to a full delivery and carts him over long-on, the ball was in the air for a long time but well clear of any white shirt, it was headed one way and Shakib seals the 2-0 win in the most emphatic manner 54.3 Roach to Shakib Al Hasan, 2 runs, Dropped He swivels and pulls but doesn't time it that well, Best does well at short mid-off to leap and get a hand to it, too late now 54.2 Roach to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR, now he exploits the big gap between mid-off and cover, half volley outside off and put away with ease, he's timing it very well Now a packed field in the deep on the off side 54.1 Roach to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR, he grants him width outside off, he jumps at the crease, reaches out and thumps it past backward point, third man's too fine to cut it off End of over 54 (1 run) Bangladesh 201/6 Mahmudullah 0* (2b) DJG Sammy 16-1-55-5 Shakib Al Hasan 80* (93b 11x4) KAJ Roach 13-4-52-1 53.6 Sammy to Mahmudullah, no run, angles it on middle and leg, he defends it back to the bowler 53.5 Sammy to Mahmudullah, no run, defends it safely on the front foot Mahmudullah Riyad walks in 53.4 Sammy to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, almost an action replay of raqibul's dismissal, Rahim spoons a full delivery back to the bowler and Sammy takes it in the second attempt, he takes five, kisses the ball and acknowledges the cheers from the very sparse crowd Mushfiqur Rahim c & b Sammy 12 (31b 1x4 0x6) SR: 38.70 53.3 Sammy to Shakib Al Hasan, 1 run, he pushes it towards mid-off and rushes the single, the fielder decides not to take aim at the stumps because the bowler wasn't backing up 53.2 Sammy to Shakib Al Hasan, no run, full on the pads and he knocks it to midwicket with the full face of the bat 53.1 Sammy to Shakib Al Hasan, no run, he tries to crash that past the covers but the ball drops short of short cover End of over 53 (maiden) Bangladesh 200/5 Mushfiqur Rahim 12* (30b 1x4) KAJ Roach 13-4-52-1 Shakib Al Hasan 79* (90b 11x4) DJG Sammy 15-1-54-4 52.6 Roach to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run, wastes his energy by dropping the ball short down the leg side, rahim is happy to duck and let it go 52.5 Roach to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run, fires it on the pads and the ball rolls away to the on side 52.4 Roach to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run 52.3 Roach to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run, hits a good length and drifts onto the pads, he clips him to the on side 52.2 Roach to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run, hits the deck hard and Rahim safely ducks under the bouncer 52.1 Roach to Mushfiqur Rahim, no run, he drives a low full toss outside off straight to the covers End of over 52 (8 runs) Bangladesh 200/5 Shakib Al Hasan 79* (90b 11x4) DJG Sammy 15-1-54-4 Mushfiqur Rahim 12* (24b 1x4) KAJ Roach 12-3-52-1 Lots of love letters pouring in for Shakib 51.6 Sammy to Shakib Al Hasan, no run, fullish in length outside off, he drives to mid-off 51.5 Sammy to Shakib Al Hasan, no run, chips down the track but checks his shot and punches it back to the bowler 51.4 Sammy to Shakib Al Hasan, no run, spoons it towards cover but the ball drops short of the fielder 51.3 Sammy to Shakib Al Hasan, no run, comes over the wicket this time, Shakib calmly pushes it to the off side 51.2 Sammy to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR, Bangladesh get closer!

In my view it's not the lack of quality in our young budding cricketers, but the facilities they're getting from our administrators. One of the major problems our young cricketers are facing while they go on to foreign trips is the pace and bounce the wickets produced in all the countries except the sub-continental pitches. The cricketing administrators in our country must realize this fact and develop some fast and bouncy tracks to allow our cricketers to expose to those surfaces in our domestic circuits and also continue with the slow and turning pitches simultaneously and prepare the 'Low and Turning' tracks only for the international matches to welcome the foreign teams with."
