just did the math, if Ash scored 77 from 160, then the others would have to have scored at 4.7 an over to make up for it. doubt they batted that quickly.

great to see SN doing well. i hope he has learned his lesson by walking away from the team, and having to fight so hard to come back. everyone else had an understandable excuse but him and Aftab were mainstays in the national team. shouldn't have left.

Nasir scored 40 of 23 and Mahmudullah scored 75 with 3 Sixes, so it is possible.

Ash came in after Imrul and Z, fell in Quick Succession and than SN and Mushy fell in quick succession as well, so we could have easily been bundled under 300,despite SN's 100.

I noticed the players are Hitting 6's more often, maybe something that the Interim Coach has been working with them.

Test Cricket = Attacking Fields lots of Empty Space to hit shots

[Dhakablues]

Well the Academy field is small compared to a real one so hitting six wont be that difficult there. Also, it could be that the bounce created opportunities for shots, which cannot be a bad thing.

Its a good practice but I wouldve preferred that some of the National Team bowlers also played with Academy team and vice versa. There is no point in sticking to that principle of keeping NT team and Academy team separated.. what purpose does it serve? Yes, if its to see how the Academy boys are learning, it served a purpose but I would think National Team is the priority, especailly when its a test series against well practiced Zimbabwe!!

[al Furqaan]

this match was played at mirpur though...

any idea how tall Anam is? he looks about as tall as SN, making him 5-8 aprox.

[Avik]

ash playing a slow innings is good news. seems he is thinking before he is playing his idiotic shots. good.

Yes, this Nazmul is not the military pacer that used play in the National team.

That's his main problem for past couple of years, he over thinks and gets out after wasting balls. Hopefully this time around he uses just the right amount of thinking. (There i go, back to "hoping" to see him succeed one day )

the reason for Nasir's hitting and the other guys scoring so quickly is artificial. 90 overs means that this was essentially a two day ODI match. so the final 10-15 overs were the slog overs. which is why a 2-day game is not ideal practice for a Test...the game should have been 4 days.

the guys up the order - probably including Ash - had lower strike rates which were more indicative of the style of first class/test cricket.

lets see how Ash does in the 3-dayer vs ZIM XI.

[al Furqaan]

just saw the other thread...Ash 77 off 167 --> strike rate of 46...which isn't terribly low. showed he was attempting to stick in for the day.

same source cites Hom as 12* not 30*.

[Tiger444]

A decent effort by the national team. Not too happy to see Mushy and Zunaed fail so badly. I was hoping they would carry on the good work after their nice knocks in the other match. Imrul needs to start converting his starts in to 50 and 100s more often in the longer version. SN seems to be a lock for the test match. Ash could also be locked in after this knock. Interested to see how our bowlers do.

I was joking about Ash being slow. Ash basher der ekta reason diyesilam Ash bashing korar jonno

This is how Ash plays Test cricket when in good form. Goes slow for first 30-40 runs.

And you are right about Hom's score.

Can someone post the batting and bowling figures from last practice match so we can compare?

এমনি কপাল যে আশরাফুল এই বছরও বহাল তবিয়তে জাতীয় দলে আছে আর সাথের বাকি সব রিটাইয়ার্ড অথবা আম্পায়ার।But all the best,, Zimbabwer সাথে অশার-ফুলের ভাগ্য তেমন ভাল না যদিও,

[Rabz]

Good knock by SN, Ash, Riyad and Nasir.

Yep, they were saying that on the England tour, how the reason his average is poor and what not is because he is such a slow starter in tests, and usually gets out in that phase of his innings... ''An Iffy Starter''.

[simon]

SN is in real good touch

[Jadukor]

Our test squad performance will be like a lottery. Valo hoiteo paare abar bishaal collapse o hoite paare...

this is my consistency chart for our probable lineup

1. Tamim (fairly consistent)
2. Imrul (fairly consistent)
3. Nafees (slightly inconsistent)
4. Junaid (severely inconsistent)
5. Shakib (out of form)
6. Mushfiqur (consistent when there is no pressure)
7. Mahdullah (consistent)
8. Shafiul (promising)
9. Razzaq (brain fart induced slogger)
10. Nazmul (no idea)
11. Rubel (bat dhorte paare)

according to my chart only three players are likely to score in zimbabwe... Tamim, Kayes and Mahmudullah. Hope i am wrong.

Lol, how can Shahriar Nafees be inconsistent! He is very consistent my friend...
Shafiul scored a half century against England at home once in a test, so I don't doubt his batting ability... The Abdur Razzak one made me laugh lol!

This Trent Copeland guy has taken three wickets, and he's a normal RFM, so I don't find this point all... Even Mitchell marsh has taken wickets.
