2nd Test: Bangladesh v West Indies @ Dhaka, Oct 29-Nov 2

[AFRO]

Yeah, when my ban is up there, I'll just go back to call them a bunch of racists, and leave....

I was unhappy with the way they ganged up on you, and got you banned. And I was also unhappy with the way they drove WI fans off the site, and I said as much in one of my last posts or so.

When people are scared they often gang up Mike, i call it the "wolf" mentality, but i stood firm and it didn't matter whether it was two or five posters against me more often than not i came out on top!! , but those prejudice mods figured that they'd rather get rid of one poster and make the masses happy than get rid of a number of offenders, it's no surprise though because any West Indian who talks his mind in that place is set upon ,

I remember one of the biggest wars i had there was the "who is the best team Nz, Pak or Wi?" thread, i insisted that Pak wasn't better than us until they BEAT US, and also out of those three sides we were the last team to beat one of the top four in a test series (when we beat England in 2009), they couldn't handle that at all and it caused a massive row, and yet when we played Pak did they beat us? NO!! .

Mohammad Isam lets us know that there are very few lines outside, though its a weekly holiday. Which is quite strange since Bangladesh are Test-crazy. Meanwhile, Darren Sammy wins the toss and West Indies bat.

this westindies team sucks.

who in the hell is going to pay good money and time to watch darren sammy lead a westindies side with no name, light players.

I wouldnt. I would not go to see westindies if the tickets were free as the wicb must often give them away these days.

the wicb thinks all there is to test cricket is to build a team deh can control. Hillary Beckles and his SAIGICOR or watever playing jackass games calling Gayle 'Dudus'

well deh have their team now almost exacty as deh want it. but no one in the whole wide world wants to see it play.

and none of the young players with the possible exception of Darren Bravo has the remotest charisma and ability dat may develop into crowd attracting play.

far far from days of Rasta Viv of green and gold, the massive 'black' swagger, and a bat dat dat gave attack for attack, manno ah manno

Not a bad day for WI on a dead track but it looks like a EVEN day for both team...

this has been a bad day indeed. 253 for 5 is not good enuff in these conditions..especially when you top bowler is down as well as Bangs.

dat Sunny fella is not playing. were he playing westindies wud not have lasted the day.

Bang shud have a long stay in their turn.

westindies shud end up fighting to save this game

[mapoui]

the way i lok at it this westindies side is a terrible side...full of young palyers or not

the young players do not appear to be very good.

I have no idea what darren Bravo is waiting on to explode.

this Bang tour is 'made' for him at this stage of his career. if he is any good he shud be feasting here...especially on a day like this and the opposition weakened in their bowling

I still believe lil Bravo is up in the clouds with his 'success' and is not functioning mentally as best he might.

to let this opportunity pass without cashing in is a travesty in his case. he wont find it so easy in future.

and if he does not score now when in the hell will he....no matter how many fifties has scored up to now?

yu come to the wicket 3 times now agains Bang, when westindies needed runs and the best yu have to show for it is 24 not out with time running out for a draw!

dat was no saving 24! soemone wud have done the same to see the draw through

So an opening stand 100 by an 18 and 21 year old is not good Maps? honsetly your constant negative attitude towards WI cricket is getting BORING now, if it pains you so much you don't have to watch them play or talk about it on this forum anymore, no-ones forcing you.

well boring can be a function of shortsightedness, and a literal interpretaion of all one comes into contact with.

I never said anythng about the achievement of the opening pair. indeed the opening pair could be successful and the day still be a loss...which seems to be the case.

I mean it is impossible to see the totality of meaning in anything anyone says. but you appear to have great difficulty seeing seeing as much as yu shud, as mcuh as is very easy to see

then again against the backdrop of what is actually possible in westindies cricket at the moment any negative cast to comments not only be me, is quite justified.

westindies could have a better side in Bang at this time doing far better than this one is doing. this side is a function of wicb manipualtions to produce an outcome dat administration desires and with which yu agree...dat does necessarily coincide with putting the best side on the field and winning tests matches.

no problem there! yu have the right to agree with anything yu like!

others do not agree and deh have dat right dont they? or are you taking dat away from us too?

and of course yu have the right to be bored with and by anything yu chose to be bored by... which does not mean dat wat yu chose to be bore by is in fact boring in any way at all.

it just bores yu thats all

In your own little world map you're the ONLY ONE who sees things, you and you alone, others like myself prefer to analyze the situation and give a young, developing team time to grow, you might wanna go back to the same old "seniors" who were losing way before the likes of Gibbo, Hiliare and Hunte arrived but I DON'T, for all your ramblings we're not bottom of rankings, infact we could move up them if results go our way, but according to you everything is "rubbish" and we're in a "mess"..SPIN ANOTHER RECORD, that line was being used 10 years ago and it simply isn't true .

253/5 with Edwards and Samuels at the crease and Baugh + Sammy still to bat!!.. if you really think we "lost the day" then more fool you!! .

[mikesiva]

Thankfully, Samuels pushed on for 48 and Kirk for a well-deserved century....

A pity Samuels didn't fill his boots, but good to see Kirk did. I'm not impressed by the way Baugh and Sammy got out. They were supposed to be able to bat a bit.

All out for 355...that's about 200 short of what we should've scored on this pitch against this attack.

[mikesiva]

I never thought I'd say this...great catch by Darren Bravo!

Fidel gets dangerman Tamim....

Already two dropped catches by Samuels and Kirk....

The Fidel-Bravo combination works again, and Nafees is out now....

Two wickets in two balls...Fidel is rampaging thru this batting lineup!

THat was probably Fidel's easiest five-fer in Test cricket.

[howzdat]

HI all, just caught up with the match. Bangledesh tea time score 86/5 in response to WI 255 all out. Hi mikeseva, thinking about your 550 proposition I reckon that it would have required KOA Powell and KC Brathwaite to have converted on their starts AND MN Samuels to have come in ahead of Roach last night. Of Bravo and Chanderpaul, it is the latter who is least likely to not deliver if given a chance to bat again.

But we are where we are and Fidel's efforts have added another 150 to that score already. They have to press on looking for a lead of at least 150. And if that happens the batting unit will have to deliver all over again.
