*Official* West Indies in Bangladesh

[NUFAN]

Bangladesh selection questions..

Left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak has been dropped from the Bangladesh Test squad for the two-match series against West Indies. Allrounder Mahmudullah, who missed the limited-overs leg of the home series with viral fever, was also left out, along with middle-order batsman Mohammad Ashraful. Seamer Shafiul Islam was ruled out due to a foot injury. Robiul Islam and Junaid Siddique were the other players to miss out from the Test squad that recently toured Zimbabwe.

I don't mind Bangladesh's batting lineup for this Test, I would go Siddique in front of Keyes though. No idea how good Elias Sunny is but I'm glad Razzak isn't playing.

No play in the First Session, a bit of a shame.

But why has Mahmuddulah been left out if he is fit. He is averaging 34 isnt he.

He is second on the all time list of averages.

 

[Athlai]

Na Hurricane he will be recovering. He is the Test vice-captain and wouldn't get dropped because of a lack of skill.

According to cricinfo : play has been officially called off for the day and its not even raining there. Drainage facility must really suck at the stadium

 

[Hurricane]

Stink.

 

[Jayzamann]

Must be a dire situation for play to be called off at 11am, especially considering it won't rain all day.

 

[Days of Grace]

Shouldn't happen in this day and age.

 

[Xuhaib]

3rd world stuff from the ground management.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh well, what looked a fascinatingly poised match will be a draw then.

 

[Hurricane]

Rain again

 

[NUFAN]

This is ****ing bullocks. Chittagong needs to be banned from hosting Test matches.

 

[Spark]

Extraordinary that two full days can be rained off without any rain during the scheduled hours...

 

[centurymaker]

****

 

[morgieb]

How bad must the Bangladeshi draining system be?

 

[Chook Herron]

I've heard that birds which are partial to marshlands seasonally migrate to the Chittagong cricket oval

 

[Howe_zat]

Embarassing.

 

[GotSpin]

Wouldn't mind watching this. Love it when Chanderpaul starts hitting the big ones

 

[NUFAN]

It's always sunny in Chittagong.

Just got a Seinfeld related comment published in the commentary section. I feel so popular

 

[GotSpin]

Not sure if anyone else is following cricinfo but I'm having some great Seinfeld quotes with the commentary writer. Very entertaining
