ICC 2009 - Bangladesh

[Jarquis]

Yeah, we were always up against it from then on. A few positives to take out of the game, such as the application of our top order in the second innings and Mahmudullah's innings in the first. Bowling does seem totally reliant on Shakib though.

 

[Jarquis]

Game didn't save, which is a bit disappointing. May treat it like a 3 match series then.

 

[Jarquis]

Can't tell you how nice it would to be able to bat against spin.
Won the toss, chose to bat and were skittled for 163. Mishra and Singh taking 48.2-10-103-9 between them. Taludker top scored with 48 before throwing it away with a horrendous shot and only Shakib 26(74) and Nafees 24(131) showed any desire to stay at the crease. Woeful.

Well. First ball of the innings and Sehwag is run out before he's faced a ball, lovely. That's as good as it gets though, the Indian innings stutters to 336 all out, 173 runs ahead of the Bagladesh score. Parthiv Patel top scores with 70*, 5 other Indian players also pass 24 but nobody can go on to make a telling contribution, though Bangladesh will be disappointed they could never find the quick wickets they needed and allowed the Indian side to begin to form a partnership before beginning to fight back. The standout bowler without doubt was Shakib who managed 6/89 from his 45.5 overs, with 18 maidens!

Haha.... dire. Taludker looks a talent though.

 

[Jarquis]

Brilliant at letting India get from 156/6 to 281 all out!

 

[Jarquis]

Losing 4 wickets in 9 balls FTW.

 

[Jarquis]

Losing 6/39, including 5/14. All kinds of fail.

 

[Somerset]

Lol, oh dear. I had the same trouble playing against spin that you had in your replay of the first test with my New Zealand side against Sri Lanka where Murali and Mendis bowled over after over and ripped through us.

 

[Jarquis]

First Test against NZ, first innings, Nafees carries his bat for 23*.
So dire.

First Test against NZ, first innings, Nafees carries his bat for 23*.
So dire.

Sounds rather grim.

 

[Jarquis]

Bowled out for 97, NZ made 245 and ened up chasing 17 in the 4th innings for a 10 wicket win, late in day 3
Inda beat me by 50 odd runs in 2 ODIs, both times I was bowled out <180, in the 3rd they won by 6 wickets with 62 balls to spare, again I only managed 170ish.

 

[Jarquis]

BUMP! Loading this up as we speak.

Am now in March 2012, my last few series, in chronological order, have been :

3-0 win vs Zimbabwe (ODI) Away
0-2 loss vs Pakistan (Test) Home
2-1 win vs Pakistan (ODI) Home
0-2 loss vs Sri Lanka (Test) Home
0-3 loss vs Sri Lanka (ODI) Home
1-0 loss vs South Afria (Test) Away - I drew a Test!!!

About to play the first ODI in a sec.

Good stuff in the ODI wins. As the regens come through you'll build a pretty decent side imo.

 

[Jarquis]

Just picked some fast bowler with some limited domestic success to tour South Africa in the ODIs.
He's a RF so have to have him involved

 

[Jarquis]

ODI Series Away in South Africa
Lost 3-0

ODI1
South Africa 260/6 (50 overs)
G Smith 64
D Wiese 55*
A Razzaq 2/53
M Mortaza 2/55

Bangladesh 216/10 (44.1 overs)
S Al Hasan 68
M Rahim 56
J Coetzee 3/40
P Fojela 2/26

Got crushed in the other two games, by 9 wickets after reaching 167/5 (lol) and then by 5 wickets after I was bowled out for 182 in 35 overs.

 

[Jarquis]

Is a shame how, even in 2012, I celebrate a drawn Test like a win.
After being beaten by an innings and 207 runs in the first Test, including being bowled out for 81 in my first innings, I came back to draw the second Test against Sri Lanka, in Sri Lanka.
Shakib Al Hasan hitting 161* to bring home the draw after being over 230 in arrears after both first innings.

 

[Flem274*]

Great knock from Shakib. How's that young quick going?

 

[Jarquis]

Am pretty much hating life with this save.
2 Test series in England, drew the first Test after posting 550 in the first innings.
Then in the second Test I get dominated by an innings + 180 runs after failing to score 380 across the two combined innings. Dot even 5 hours worth of rain could save me.

FFS.

[Somerset]

Have you had any decent regen players come through? Bangladesh seem to get some pretty decent bowlers generated in later years from what I've experienced.

 

[Jarquis]

Not really
Will post some stuff in the next few days
