huge series this one


actually probably a good lead up series for the banga's for when they play us in 3 weeks.

 

[Sidey_87]

bangladesh 4-0.
Hopefully Aftab and Ashraful spend plenty of time in the middle.

 

[Cap]

0/51 after 12

not too bad, at worst a good solid start - hopefully smash Kenya just to get a bit of breathing room in the credability stakes

Don't write off the Kenyans.

Speaking of which, how old is Steve Tikolo? Seems to have been around for ages

 

[Star]

Answer my own question, he is about to turn 35.

Ignoramus question: Do these guys have their own First Class comp (his figures are quite good) or would he play in the South African FC comp?

He played 95/96 in South Africa, since then all his FC/List A games are for the national side

Thanks Russian.

In that case, this is a very good record:

Steve Tikolo's spent years playing in the Bangladeshi first class comp.

GAME 1 FINAL SCORES

BAN 7/301 (50) [Shahriar Nafees 91 (111), Aftab Ahmed 62 (69)]
KEN 170 (48.5) [Syed Rasel 3/31 (8)]

 

[Marklar_33]

Kenya 3-1 (be nice anyways)

 

[johnnyhoward]

Steve Tikolo's spent years playing in the Bangladeshi first class comp.

And he's only got 32 matches under his belt in all that time?

huge series this one

I don't know why you always kick teams while they're down, and players for that matter.

GAME 1 FINAL SCORES

BAN 7/301 (50) [Shahriar Nafees 91 (111), Aftab Ahmed 62 (69)]
KEN 170 (48.5) [Syed Rasel 3/31 (8)]

Aftab you beauty, where's Saqibal by the way?
get him in!!

 

[pluga_4]

wow..didn't realise the scoreline in odi's was 6-2 kenya's way

 

[Aritro]

Yep, they've had a much better line up than us for years.

Unfortunately their board is in turmoil these days and they've barely had a competitive hitout in the last 18 months. With Odumbe out banned and the rest of the team beginning to age, the result'll be very different this time round.

 

[bigbossman111]

Kenya were again destroyed in the 2nd ODI

Kenya 161 (49.5)
Tanmay Mishra 33(58)
Hitesh Modi 30(48)
David Obuya 30(68)
Syed Rasel 3/28(10)
Mashrafe Mortaza 2/26(9.5)
Abdur Razzak 2/30(10)

Bangladesh 162/1 (23.5)
Javed Omar 64*(79)
Aftab Ahmed 59*(31)
Shahriar Nafees 28(37)
Peter Ongondo 1/17(3)

Bangladesh win by 9 wickets and 157 balls to spare. MoM: Syed Rasel

 

[F/D]

Abdur Razzak 2/30(10)

 

[Aritro]

Yes, you'd think if they use a dodgy ring in, they'd at least take the trouble to change his name so no one knows.

best batsmen outside the test nations

GAME 3 TEAMS

BAN: Javed OMAR, Shahriar NAFEES, AFTAB Ahmed, Mohammad ASHRAFUL, Habibul BASHAR (C), Mohammad RAFIQUE, Khaled MASHUD, SHAHADAT Hossain, Abdur RAZZAK, MASHRAFE Mortaza, Syed RASEL [SUB: Alok KAPALI-I thought they dumped the subs.....]

KEN: Kennedy OTIENO, David OBUYA, Steve TIKOLO (C), Kalpesh PATEL, Hitesh MODI, Thomas ODOYO, Tanmay MISHRA, Jimmy KAMANDE, Martin SUJI, Peter ONGONDO, Collins OBUYA [SUB: Maurice OUMA]


Bangladesh won the toss and batted and are struggling @ 4/87 in 18 overs. Nafees has 44 off 57 but they have a fairly long tail if Rafique is batting @ 6.

 

[Cap]

127/ 4

back on track

Nafees 54
Rafique 34
Tigers to win easily - I think these series has shown what regular exposure to high class cricket can do, Bangladesh have generally struggled against kenya but now they are pretty much a level below

maybe I need a rethink

136/ 6

yep, totally agree. with regular exposure against the big boys, it's now paying dividends. even though they've only one test victory to their name, they don't realise how much they are improving each game until they drop back to the next tier. all looks good for bangladesh in future years (not overnight mind you) as they have squillions of people in the country to pick from and are cricket mad.
