Commentary
The day did not start off too well for CW Green first it was stand-in skipper Malone then keeper Lezama who were dismissed 2/23 things did not look too good, out came promising U19 rep Scott and then Rodgie there job to build a competitive total against the vocal Chittagong side. A few chances were given by Scott and Rodgie as they both got into their groove but then it was about hard work and building a partnership they ticked off the milestones from 50 - 100 partnership and soon started to give Green an advantage Scott brought up his 50, overs later Rodgie was in sequence. As Scott got closer to the big milestone there was confusion as Rodgie fell asleep at the non-striker's end all was well as Scott brought up a well deserved century before Rodgie was clean bowled by Chittagong left-arm spinner Elias Sunny. Corrin and Scott soon followed Corrin out to Medium Pacer Aftab Ahmed, Scott after a crucial 110 runs was out to spinner Elias Sunny. Dubb-Lynch and Cunningham were brought to the crease both proceeded about punishing ruthlessly the bowling with Cunningham out while Dubb-Lynch at the other end was on 61. Halsey carried it on with some useful hitting before being dismantled by Medium Pacer Aftab Ahmed. Green's last recognised "hitter" Rose begun his innings like a hurricane smashing the bowling to all parts of the ground, at stumps "Dubbers" was on 99, he brang up a special hundred in the first over next morning. Now it was Rose's turn to shine smashing bowlers over their heads for six certainly was in fashion while the Jamaican born compiled 63 off 49 deliveries. The Carnage collected Dubb-Lynch who was run out. This brought Cameron and Mitchell to the crease, Mitchell was out 2nd delivery to complete a special revival. 457 a spectacular score in the misty climate of Bangladesh. Wascoroni Ahmed was the main strike bowler for Chittagong in a good effort to collect figures of 4/80.
Salahuddin and Bangladeshi opener Nafees Iqbal were both dismissed early without troubling the scorers. As Hossain and Tamim Iqbal started to look comfortable both were lost to the mysterious concentration bug which brought about their downfall. 4/86 was this going to be a rout? Mitchell then went about destroying any chance of Chittagong getting back in the game with a spell of 3/24 which included a demonstration any fast bowler would be proud of with line and length bowling being the main destroyer. Cunningham then cleaned up the tail to give himself 3 wickets to go alongside Mitchell. 157 was never going to be enough. Green Skipper Malone enforced the follow on.
Mitchell did not stop all match when in the 2nd innings he ripped through the top and lower order in two spells which reaped him 5/40 and 8/64 for the match. Chittagong were all out for a measly 152.
