da heads bet： Bangladesh team’s net practice washed away due to overnight rain today. The14-member squad lead by Naimur Rahman did some stretching as an alternative.Habibul Bashar, the owner of the most runs for the country, did some shadowpractice and he was looking more confident than ever. He has bagged fourhalf-centuries but yet to get a hundred. Bashar confirmed himself as the mostconsistent batsman for Bangladesh, who, the experts believe, could turn at leasttwo of his fifties into hundreds. There are ample opportunities waiting forBashar to notch up a big total in his home ground, in front of congenial crowd.
Khaled Mahmood is going to wear Test caps for the first time in his careertomorrow. This is the honor of a fighting cricketer like him, who was waitingfor this moment for long. His labor did not go disprized at the twilight of hiscareer. Hoping the best for him.
Mashrafe-Bin-Mortaza is looking forward to get the most valuable wickets ofFlower brothers. He desires to capture five wickets in his dream debut.Presently he is regarded as the fastest bowler and he is going to share the newball with Manjurul Islam, the hero in Zimbabwe in April. The combination mightwork well because Manjurul can bowl in steady line for hours and Mashrafe canimpart pace from the other end.
©CricInfo The prodigious Mohammed Ashraful was discussing something important on hisstance with Aminul Islam. There are plenty of things to learn from the veteranAminul, the highest scorer for Bangladesh in Tests, and Ashraful is not missingit. He will probably bat at number six when the ball would loose its shine, so,valid opportunities are in front for this kid to enthrall his fans all over.
BNS stadium looked colorful at the afternoon in presence of the Zimbabweancricketers. A huge flock of cricket lovers from different walks of life came towatch Andy flower’s net sessions. Andy was batting alone at a nook with hisAussie coach to bowl him. Henry Olonga was firing on the cement track whereHeath Streak, the spearhead of Zimbabwe pace attack, seemed rather quiet.
