Bangladesher Jaan is back again after that momentary malfunction or brainloss. Been really impressed with his marked change of attitude and application. What a Jykell and Hyde character our Mr. Al-Hasan is!

Contrary to some opinions I don't believe Shakib is a selfish or not a team player. He is just too carefree and reckless at times for his own good. His passion for cricket and Bangladesh is not in question -his attitude and application is. Shakib needs to self-realize how seriously good cricketer he can be.

wish we could bat whole day today. Very good batting conditions.

If we can survive the post lunch spell of Lakmal, we have a good chance of winning this.

epitaph · #**1304** March 17, 2017, 01:48 AM

After initial nerves vs Lakmal, Mosaddek has looked very good. Connects with the ball very well. I can see how he has very high first class avg.

BD will regret not bowling out SL for 250ish, and not being able to capitalize on the good batting surface. Had they not lost the flurry of wickets, i thought they would have been able to score well over 400, put SL under pressure on Day 4.

Interesting observation about Sabbir. I also feel he is talented, tends to be a bit too aggressive than required at times but can slow down his game if he really wants, like he did in NZ. What worries me about him is opponents can get under his skin easily by taunting him. I've seen him lose his composure and get out a few times like he did against Ishant.

Gorom cha nie boshlam ... gorom session dekhar Jonno.... mone hoi aj hobe.
Sakib surely will do something to put him self in front .... Banglar orange juice , did it ... that's why bd 100 test Aram kore khaise.... jai hok, jitlei chole.

Match Adda · #**1308** March 17, 2017, 01:57 AM

But sabbir surely miss his opportunity to score ton here ... it was there for him ... the way he was willowing , he's a next sensation for bd after sakib.

I also feel a hundred run lead is absolutely necessary just to maintain parity. Batting last against Herath won't be fun.

Very good session. This was exactly what we needed and this was exactly what our two best bat had delivered. Now if shak and mossaddek can deliver a similar results then we are due to win this match. Both of these two at the crease has got the ability to do that.

By the way, I have never seen such fickle fans before. It's really quite disgusting to question someone's ethics without a shred of evidence and to turn completely irrational against your best performing team player. Fans here should be equated to an inbred trump supporter. Quit the hate folks and support your player.

zman · #**1311** March 17, 2017, 02:02 AM

^dude what are you saying about trump supporters? they're the most irrational die hard supporters

Shakibs fan base and Canada's weather.... changes wayy too quickly

Talent-wise Shabbir has more potential than Soumya. Shabbir is almost a complete batsman while Soumya has some technical issues eg. playing short deliveries. But, still is a massive talent. I agree with you Shabbir's off field activities will hamper his progress just like his good mate Facelessbook Nasir. BCB seriously needs a young cricketer mentoring and monitoring unit.

Ok lunch about to start.... hope really hope we can take some lead...

Dude no body hates sakib.... he's a living legend for bd we all known... but his application is the question, his arrogance is the question, he's not the sakib we know is the question, so as a fan we do have some questions against him, but nothing more then that....and we do have rights to do that , and that's why they play well, and player like Riad gets dropped. Hope u understand mate.... ya been Canada, weather is fine there .. like u

Awla · #**1316** March 17, 2017, 02:17 AM

need to bat whole day today..I feel today the pitch condition is best for batting... after lunch session of 4th day the pitch should favor to spinners

shoibboshach · #**1317** March 17, 2017, 02:22 AM

We need at least a 70 runs lead to have any hope of an win.

fuadomar · #**1318** March 17, 2017, 02:29 AM

When Litton will be back(instead of Shabbir, Soumya or Imrul) and start converting 75% of what he did in domestic first class, we will have a fairly competitive team.
