Will anyone pick a Bangladeshi?

 

[irottev]

Yup, I picked 3. Someone has to get the wickets lol.

Gillespie is my captain. I know I know, I am an idiot. But it'll be fun. I'll end up last whoever I pick so I picked some weird selections.

 

[Sureshot]

Which 3?

Silly imo

 

[irottev]

I'm not giving away my hot selections

Its worth taking a few. I am just trying to have fun with this one. There could be some miracle and it might just work.

Which 3?

Silly imo

So you're just going to pick the Australian side?

One thing to consider is Australia will most likely bat once and guys down the order like Symonds, Hussey or Gilchrist might not even bat at all.

You're better off having a couple of Bangladeshi batsman in the side IMO.

 

[aussie1st]

Also you have to note Bangladesh will most likely only bowl once. It's hard deciding on which Aussie batter will go well, if Bangladesh rip through guys like Gilly, Symonds and Hussey will get good time in the middle.

BTW what type of pitch do Bangladesh usually prepare? Spinners or batting tracks? I'm making a bowler captain just don't know which one.

 

[surendar]

i think Rafique will do a better job

 

[Octavius]

i picked 4 bangers

good luck guys!

i reckon ponting is gonna try and beat Lara's batting record

What about Hayden? I am sure he wants the record back.

 

[irottev]

Lara's would still be more impressive due to the fact that Bangladesh are poor.

But seriously, Their bowling attack isn't too bad. Their batting is usually what really lets them down.

@ Aussie1st - the cutoff time is about 10 hours after the match starts.

For those wondering about the Bangladeshis, Mashrafe Mortaza has been injured as of late, but showed some promising signs against England, even whilst they were being caned around the park.

Rafiques likely to bowl a lot of their overs. And at the top of the order Habibul Bashar always gets the majority of their runs.. unless Ashraful has one of his 1 in 20 games and plays a blinder

I seriously hope that Ponting has a little more class than Hayden did and leaves the world record exactly where it should be, setting it against a minnow is just not cricket

12 hours to be exact, I had it in PM not AM. Thanks for that.

 

[irottev]

Im having a really hard decision choosing either Rafique or Symonds. Ill stick with Symonds. He better play well, I mean it is only Bangladesh.
