Default Observations

Got to watch Talha, Ashraful, Sumit and Kapali bowl for the first time.

His first over, Talha (who actually does look very young) was about as fast as Manjurul, and his second over he was around 130kph, his fastest being 133.8 or something like that. Although his action and pace is very promising, he REALLY needs to work on his line. He generates incredible swing and has absolutely no control. If he can get some control on that, he will be a good prospect.

Manjurul bowled well, and had some zippy deliveries, including the one that almost shaved Styris's face (130 kph).

Sujon and Sumit demonstrated again what a good length and line can do, even when you don't have much pace.

I don't know what to say about the batting. It was really heartbreaking!!
