Match Thread: Aftab v Nafis, OD Final (Simulation)

[AsifTheManRahman]

i dont think bearing so much tension right before the england tour is a good idea. i'll go to sleep now.

[Simulation]

9/249

47.2 Piranha to Rafiq, OUT!, It's almost there! Good length on off, Rafiq pushes at it and edges it straight to Nasif at second slip. The Aftab boys can feel it and the atmosphere in the stands is electric! Just one wicket to take now!

Rafiq c:Nasif b;Piranha 6(9b)

[AsifTheManRahman]

oh well, guess i'll stay till we win.

[Simulation]

25 needed off 12 balls with 1 wicket in hand

Team Aftab are entergetic and talking loudly between them, encouraging each other especially Chinaman who has the ball in hand

[Simulation]

48.1 Chinaman to Hasib, no run, A lot of movement being extracted by Chinaman, Hasib has an airswing
48.2 Chinaman to Hasib, two runs, Quick single taken to short cover, Radicalsami misses the stumps and they take an overthrow
48.3 Chinaman to Hasib, one run, And again! This time Radicalsami holds back on the throw
48.4 Chinaman to Bourny3, one run, Fends down a bouncer and they take a single
48.5 Chinaman to Hasib, no run, Beaten, took a skin of paint off the stumps, fielders can't believe it
48.6 Chinaman to Hasib, three runs, Worked off his pads to deep backward square, very good running they get 3

18 needed off the final over, Piranha to bowl it

[Simulation]

49.1 Piranha to Hasib, no run, Hasib was completely deceived, missed that one by a mile
49.2 Piranha to Hasib, no ball, no run, Good length, Hasib swats it back up the pitch, front foot no ball
49.2 Piranha to Hasib, no run, Great yorker, Hasib digs it out
49.3 Piranha to Hasib, OUT, THERE IT IS! Good length, Hasib swings wildly across the line, ball goes high in the air, Chinaman at deep square leg has a long time to think about it but doesn't let the pressure get to him, takes the catch and that's the premiership! Well done

Hasib c. Chinaman b. Piranha 7(9b)

[AsifTheManRahman]

kool.

i'll go to bed now. wake me up when the next international tour team is announced.

[Simulation]

All the fielders run it and swamp Chinaman! What a great moment for this team. Team Nafis looked as if they had it won by choked when it mattered the most and the lack of depth in their batting lineup was the crucial thing yet again. Team Aftab deserve this win with a fine performance infront of their home crowd. And here come the spectators! It's been a long time since we've seen a pitch invasion but they're jumping the picket fence here at Virginia to congratulate their charges!

[Mahir]

feeling despised, distressed, hated, martyred, killed. Awful moment is this. Oh heavy lightness!

I hand over to Tehsin for his speech as the winning captain...

[Mahir]

[Mueid]

i suppose his speech isnt over yet. it will posted once its over. lol

[James90]

I think he's had too much champagne or is too busy signing autographs

you're quite an ordinary bowler, navarene. And your keeper their was just trying to Rashid Latif. Umpires have done a commendable job so far, i say... anyways, BSB High Officials, whats the pitch type in Virginia ?

HAHAHAHAAAA...see what damage those ordinery bowlers could do to a mediocre team like yours! We have the last laugh hahahaaaaaa...excellent team effort with enormous courage and determination have made us to achieve the success. Three cheers captain! Three cheers to team Aftab. We are unbeatable

[bourny3]

Well done to Aftab. Bad luck boys we were so close. We will have to get revenge where it counts. in the 4 day match. Lets do it boys we can win.

[Mahir]

okay... lets get on with my case.

I hereby state that I can apologize to the umpire of the OD final, and I will, but I am appealing the decision as well. It was the game we all worked hard for, and i felt the decision was very poor, and considering the magnitude of the game, I felt heavily frustrated. In any case, I offer my kind apologies and I will make sure this doesnt repeat.

I dont want to miss the 4D final in any way, and making myself eligible for the Africa-touring team was a long-held dream.

I am looking forward to hearing from the officials about this case, and I urge that proper decision is taken, with every possible options being considered. I certainly hold a clean reputation in the league, and I am confident that will come a long way towards the ultimate decision of the BSB High Officials.

Sincerely,

MasterBlaster, Team Nafis.

[Rubu]

Bottom line is we won the final.

Go team aftab.

I said it before, I'll say it again

banglacricket XI = TEAM AFTAB



You don't wanna break the winning combination, right?

The decision is respected. But I dont exactly understand what is the issue about 52 carry over points.

[Tehsin]

This was a great match to win. We kept our cool and never lost focus in this match. We started off well with Pundit and Asif leading the charge. We were over cautious during the middle but still put on a good score in the end.

Team Nafis put up a great fight with MB and Mueid keeping us at bay but once we broke that partnership the balance tipped our way. Piranha was outstanding and had good support from China, Nav and Rad. They were backed well by the fielders.

In all, this has been a great season for us. We still have to play Team Nazmul in the four dayers and hoping to repeat our winning performance in that match and the finals starting from the 17th.

Come on down to our clubhouse later tonight as we celebrate our ond-day championship win with biryani and aladdin's misty.

[AsifTheManRahman]

so is the biryani fakruddin, haji or tehsin?
or is it simply mrs.tehsin?

[naheyan]

well......its always great to b a part of the winning team. But i think i didnt contribute as much as my captain wud have expected me to. but nevertheless we won the game......great job fellows. It was truly a great team work.....
well who was it who said our bowlers are ordinary.....??
By the way...what is the team for banglacricketXI

[James90]

The BanglaCricket XI won't tour for a while. The second XI will be announced in just under two weeks though. It will be announced at the Akram Khan Medal, you have to be there

MasterBlaster, 52 carry over points basically just means that this sequence of events will count against you next time you find yourself in trouble
