**Official** India in Bangladesh

.....

cant they play till 6:30 or 7pm...or does it get dark...surely u gotta make up more time than just 30mins a day!

This is f'dup man .....they play from 4:30Pm-6:30Pm IF, the umpires deem the outfield good enough at YET ANOTHER inspection at 3:55Pm!!!!!

Yeps it becomes dark at around 7:00Pm-7:30Pm'ish!!!!!

It's freaking 5:11Am here in New Jersey and I am going to sleep !!!!!

 

[pasag]

Yeah, dire.

 

[Pratters]

Which channel is the series on? I tried DD 1 (which showed the ODI series) but it isn't showing it. I dread it is NEO sports? Dish TV doesn't have NEO.. Any highlights packages on other channels?

Yeah it is indeed Neo Sports. Crap.

 

[stumpski]

Play due to start at 4.30 local time ... that's about 10 minutes, right?

And did umpire Harper really say "Inshallah?" (as per Cricinfo) I'd love it if Hair had done that.

 

[pasag]

Century up for Ganguly, good stuff.

 

[pasag]

Century up for Ganguly, good stuff.

And out two balls later.

 

[Perm]

Didn't realise that we had started up yet, been too busy with the other Test on.

Nice century by Ganguly, but a nice piece of bowling by Mashrafe Mortaza to dismiss him. Continues to impress me, I wouldn't mind seeing how well he would go in some favourable conditions (England, New Zealand).

Here's hoping that Dhoni scores runs.

 

[pasag]

Century for Sachin, nice.

 

[Pratters]

Century for Sachin, nice.

Awesome. Hate that I am not getting coverage of this match even more now.

 

[Perm]

Sachin brings up century #36, good to see. Hopefully he scores a few against England later in the year as well. Dhoni batting quite aggressively.

EDIT: Tendulkar pulls a Ganguly and is out shortly after his ton. Shadhadat gets the wicket.

 

[TT Boy]

Ganguly's dismissal was signposted but you do wonder why the Bangladesh did not think of such a 'novel' approach 100 runs earlier. Dada played the ‘spinners’ well though.

 

[Perm]

One spinner bowls another, Ramesh Powar is cleaned up by Mohammad Rafique going for the slog. Silly decision by Powar really, he should be looking to bat well and show the selectors he could be the second spinner and bat #9.

 

[pasag]

India falling apart abit here. 3 wickets gone in a 20 over day. Good stuff from Bangladesh though. Dhoni's been doing very well also, after being dropped earlier.

 

[alternative]

Ganguly a total gun, meh at the rest.

 

[Prince EWS]

Kumble to score 50 IMO.

EDIT: Haha, it's so unlikely that bet365 won't even give me a market on it

 

[Perm]

It was quite a tough chance for Saleh, who hurt his hand attempting to take it.

I bet Jaffer feels pretty stupid, given how well the other batsman have done.

 

[pasag]

Bad light. Stumps.

 

[Anil]

are the indians going to mess this up? they need to cross 450 at least and now that doesn't look too likely unless dhoni stays at the wicket and the tail sticks with him...

 

[Perm]

With most of today lost due to a damp outfield then I can see the Indian's perhaps batting for one more session tomorrow. Hoping Dhoni manages to score a few more.

 

[Manee]

I think India must look to declare now if they want a result and want to bowl to Bangladesh on the final day pitch in the forth innings instead of wasting time trying to make them follow on.
