King Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 The pitch is pretty firm and looks a typical Sri Lankan wicket. The toss will not really matter the commies are saying. Russell Arnold makes a start as a commentator for this game. First game as an international coach for Shaun Williams the new Bangladesh coach. Good luck both the teams and I don't quite mind Bangladesh winning this one. I have no favorites for this tie. Link to comment
King Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 For some very strange reason Sri Lanka after winning the toss elected to bowl first :whatchutalkingabout The pitch looks a batting beauty. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 wow suresh shastri might be debuting as test umpire, another debutata = russel arnol as commentator.. hez on rite now along with sanjay Link to comment
King Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Bangla openers have started pretty well here. They have gone after the bad balls which is the way they should play. They can't defend for life the Banglas. 28/0 Bangladesh after 7 overs. The pitch is pretty much flat and there is no swing either. Malinga just got Nafees out. Suresh Shastri makes his first decision and gives Nafees out. Not sure if that was out. The ball brushed seemed to bush the pad on the leg side and carried to the keeper. Link to comment
King Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Vaas gets Javed Omar now. Bangladesh now 28/2, so much for the good start. Both the openers are back in the hut. Link to comment

King Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Wow.... I went for a cricket training session for about couple of hours or three and now I come back to see Bangladesh all out :omg_smile: I knew Murali will get few wicket but 5/15 was something I didn't expect. No hope for Bangladesh in the next 10 years to win a test match IMO. Link to comment
