34/2 is good news, but Safaq getting injured is not.

[mshakir56]

According to Cricket Scotland, Scotland are about 80-3.
They lost 3 of the top 4 very cheaply, but Navdeep Poonia of Warwickshire is unbeaten on 56, and is now joined by another Warwickshire player, Dougie Brown.

I'm a bigger fan of the BCB Academy side than our national team.....i bet our national team will not make more runs against the same Scottish outfit. Same old story:

Nafees....50
Mehrab.....30
Aftab.....oops i tried to sweep a 90mph yorker for six
Ash.....oops i just had a little dabble at that one and edged/mistimed/mis-hit/saw a hot girl
Habibabi....umm....yeh....i don't feel like batting otday
Sakib.....60
Masud.....yeh i'll do like Habibabi
Rafique.....23 off 5 balls
Masri.....24 off 6 balls
Razzak.....10
Shahadat 1

Total: 200-220

And then Razzak will get all 10 scottish wickets and Habibabi will say that it was a great performance by the team. All BS.

From http://www.cricketscotland.com/

In the warm-up match against the Bangladesh Academy in Chittagong today, the Academy posted 252 for six (50 overs). On a flat pitch, the seamers had no encouragement and the hosts were 160 for two before the Scots bowlers got a grip on the rest of the innings. Skipper Craig Wright was the pick of the bowlers, and Majid Haq took three wickets in the last 10 overs.

Bowling: Blain 4-0-21-0, Hoffmann 6-1-24-0, Watson 5-0-25-0, Brown 7-0-33-0, Wright 6-1-21-2, Lyons 7-0-39-1, Haq 7-0-35-3.

Scotland's batting also started poorly, with Watts 4, Watson 1 and Hamilton 11 out. But Poonia, with a promising 63, Brown 42* and McCallum 24* took the score to 154 for four after 35 overs.

So the scots need 99 runs in 15 overs

99/15 = 6.6 rrr

should be interesting.

sad to see cricket scotland providing updates but our own tiger cricket doing nothing

[mshakir56]

I think this match will really go down to the wires. If Scotland loose today, I guess their dream of winning both games against our national dream will have to be flashed through the toilet.

Beshi ironical hobe if scotland lose this one and then go on to beat Bangladesh in one of the ODI's. Not impossible I say.

Losing to Scotland on our on home soil !!! That will be far more pathetic than losing to Canada in South Africa.

[Miraz]

BD Academy should win the match from this position. My only concern is Brown, he is a seasoned campaigner.

[roi]

Match should have ended by this time. Any body from chittagong? Any update?

[TheWatcher]

Scotland all out for 219

-RTV

No wonder Cricket Scotland stopped updating

[thebest]

well done Boys

[Mohiul]

good to see cabs are doing well by beating that big mouth

[capslock]

Tsk tsk, scots really shouldn't have talked themselves up so much.

[BanglaCool]

The third tier team of Bangladesh beat high-hopes Scotland by 32 runs!

[Mohiul]

scotts recover twice then lose

[Omio]

welldone boys,Tamim hav done well..

[Mohiul]

how come cricketscotland saying BD A team?????? actually its virtually a BD U19 team

[Miraz]

Well done boys.

IMHO, this academy team is stronger than Bangladesh A team.

They are inexperienced but has got huge potential

[BanglaCool]

I find it amusing that Scotland press (mostly their cricket players) always find a good reason that they lost or Bangladesh won, other than the most obvious difference in playing class.
