Anyone still reading this?

 

[Prince EWS]

Anyone still reading this?

Yes. Keep it up.

 

[chaminda_00]

Yep im still reading...

 

[James90]

Same here. Victoria, Mohammedan and Old DOHS would be the favourites at the moment.

 

[GotSpin]

Slighlty off topic

But what is cricket's popularity like in bangladesh

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Apparently they're maybe the most cricket mad country in the world. After the wins against India and Australia in the last year there was partying on the streets of Dhaka. AFAIK football (soccer) is also very popular with Bangladesh better than any of the other sub-continent nations. But there is little following for hockey which is so popular in India/Pakistan.

Table (after round 7)

1 DOHS 14 pts
2 Victoria 12 pts
3 Mohammedans 10 pts
= City Club
= Biman

Does anyone know anything about these overseas players?

Jaffar Kureshi
Rizwan Qureshi
Rashid Hanif (all Pakistan)

Sandeep Sharma (India)

Are these players not good enough to play in their own domestic cricket? (Quaid-e-Azam/Ranji)

 

[honestbharani]

Sandeep Sharma has been playing for donkey's years really. I think he would find it difficult to make an Indian FC side.


BTW, how is Ashraful going in the domestic league?

 

[James90]

Ashraful's been woeful. He was fined by Sonargaon for poor performance and hit 26 yesterday against Kalebagan.

Todays DPL Scores

DPL R8

DOHS beat Abahani by 9 runs
DOHS 248 for 7 (50) Nazimuddin 79, Manjural Islam Rana 23, STEVE TIKOLO 46; Ahsanullah Hasan 3 for 37
Abahani 239 all out (48.3) Jahirul Islam 54, Imran Ahmed 65, Faisal Hossain 27, SHADAB KABIR 25; Khaled Mahmud 3 for 37

Abahani lose again, DOHS cement position at the top. More runs for Tikolo, and for in-form Nazimuddin.

Biman beat Mohammedans by 8 wickets
Mohammedans 128 all out (46.3) Khaled Mashud 30; Mushfiqur Rahman 4 for 17
Biman 131 for 2 (34.5) Javed Omar 62*, Shahriar Hossain 36

Mohammedans, perhaps disillusioned by a hefty fine following poor behaviour against DOHS, crumble to Javed Omar. Habibul in poor form for MSC.

City Club beat Indira by 38 runs
City Club 283 all out (49.4) Rajin Saleh 90, Shahriar Nafees 25, TATENDA TAIBU 57, Tushar Imran 35
Indira 245 all out (49.4) Junnaid Siddique 37, Golam Mawla 25, Rezaul Haque 95*; Alok Kapali 3 for 47

City Club batting on song once more, good to see Rajin in the runs. But bowling remains weakness, as Rezaul's late charge proved.

Sonorgaon beat Brothers by 9 wickets
Brothers 160 all out (47.3) RASHID HANIF 48; Mahbubul Alam 3 for 25
Sonorgaon 161 for 1 (29) Al Sahariar 84, Ejaj Ahmed 69

Interesting result, as Sonorgaon revival stunts Brothers tital aspirations.

Victoria beat Agrani Bank by 85 runs
Victoria 297 all out (50) Nasiruddin 75, Saqibul Hasan 83, Saghir Hossain 40, Mushfiqur Rahim 41; Imtiaz Hossain 4 for 30
Agrani Bank 212 all out (46.4) Imtiaz Hossain 43, Kuntal Chandra 45, Kalim 32; Kamrul Hasan 3 for 21

Great to see Saqibul and Mushfiqur make runs - the two Bangladeshis who will dominate the next decade (2010 ono)

Kalabagan beat Orient by 44 runs
Kalabagan 219 for 8 (50) Uttam Sarkar 36, Nahidul Haque 42, Mehrab Hossain snr 43, Monirul Islam 31; Nazmul Hossain 3 for 45
Orient 175 for 9 (50) Masumud Dowla 69; Zaid 4 for 31

Can't say too much extra about this game.

Table (as I make it)

1 DOHS 16 pts
2 Victoria 14 pts
3 City Club 12 pts
= Biman 12 pts

DOHS beat Biman by 41 runs
DOHS 264 for 6 (50) Manjural Islam Rana 40, Shahin Hossain 44, Steve Tikolo 87, Akram Khan 42, Khaled Mahmud 25; Mosharraf Hossain 3 for 56
Biman 223 all out (46.4) Humayun Kabir 53, Mushfiqur Rahman 70, Sajjad Kadir 59

Tikolo in the runs yet again - he also took 2 for 21. DOHS looking very strong.

[Tomm NCCC]

Mohammad Ashraful* (Captain, 21, Bangladesh batsman, occasional leg spin bowler)

Now this is what impressess me about this young lad. 21, Already an established Bangladeshi international, but a county/state casptain and a bit of an all rounder. Yes Ashraful has had his fair few problems, but trawling through this thread I've seen a few good performances mfrom him. What you have to remember is his age. The weight of expectation can sometimes get to you in your early 20's (Like a Bangledeshi Wayne Rooney lol ) But gioven time, Mo can go on in his career, banish all of the problemns, and become a great

Keep it up Jungle Jumbo, tis good reading
