Bangladesh v India, Game 3, Kitply Cup, Dhaka, 12th June

Sure to be a tight one...

India's bench strength should be tested in this game. Ishant especially should be rested as should Dhoni (he is playing non stop cricket far far too long now) but he won't be.

PS: If we lose this game by 218 runs Pak and B'desh would contest the finals.

Gony will make his debut for India.

India's tormentor at WC'07 Tamin gone for duck.

The cricinfo commentator is plugging cricket forums so I sent off a message about flaming bails.

Will have to wait for some more time. May be in Asia cup.

B'desh have gone backwards after Whatmore's exit.

Cricinfo mentions that B'desh are yet to score a run in front of wicket. Now that has to be some sort of record. I mean how a team can't do that for 9 overs!!!

Bangladesh currently 6/190 off 45 overs. Any score over 200 in an international is reason for them to celebrate.

Raqibul Hasan made 89 but according to Cricinfo was severely hampered by cramps in the latter stages of his innings. He has a FC triple century to his credit although it was made against Sylhet Division & we all know how weak they are.

Raqibul is probably one of their best prospects. Expect to see him in the Test team soon.

gambhir dropped again, has to be the luckiest batsman i have seen
