Bangladesh Tour of the West Indies 2009

[WestIndian]

Bangladesh will be in the West Indies for a 1 month visit, playing 2 Test, 3 ODIS & 1 T20. They will be with new Captain Mashrafe Mortaza. It will be an interesting tour, unlike in past years, only Barbados out of The Big 4, will see any action and that will be a warm-up match, nothing will be taking place in Jamaica, Trinidad, or Guyana, instead the matches are spread amongst the smaller Island, this is good for West Indies cricket.

Easy win for Bangladesh IMO.

 

[McLOVIN]

^^ LOL


aw man you opened it! i was gonna, but AFTER the Ind series

 

[irottev]

Bangladesh may win an ODI, but I wouldn't expect a test win. Players like Chanderpaul and Gayle should destroy them.

I'd expect
Tests 2-0 WI. maybe a draw, but series win to WI
ODIS 2-1 WI
T20 1-0 WI

Oh and this is a prediction, so don't other quoting me on it afterward if Bangladesh end up winning, i'm not ruling them out because the West Indies are hardly a powerhouse themselves in any form.

 

[nikhil_99]

Gayle will destroy them...Yes they may win 1-2 ODI,or even T20 because T20 is such a format where nothing can be predicted before,anything can happen.

 

[khalek]

Hope we can play the whole 5 days in the Test matches, that's what Mashrafe has to try and tell his players to do in this series.

Gayle will destroy them...Yes they may win 1-2 ODI,or even T20 because T20 is such a format where nothing can be predicted before,anything can happen.

Gayle will struggle against the spinners IMO especially Shakib, it should be an interesting contest and also Mashrafe's performance will be under scanner.

Bangladesh has arrived in Barbados

 

[Howsie]

Bangladesh were bowled out for 195 in there first innings. The Windies had some very talented and quick bowlers playing though. Kemar Roach took five wickets, is he close to making the West Indies team or does he still have no ball problems?

Nelon Pascal didn't pick up a wicket though, but from what I heard he bowled with some serious pace.

And my man Kerian Powell was caught out for five

That bowling attack of Kevin McClean, Kemar Roach and Nelon Pascal is very impresive.

 

[DME786]

Both sides on there day are attractive to watch, both teams have there own qualities and therefore I just hope to see some good cricket.

Expect alot of rain delays though, the rainy season has arrived.

 

[Amiya]

Should be a easy win for Windies in test and Odi. Bangladesh may give hard fight in odi but they are still far away from winning a series.

 

[McLOVIN]

Bangladesh 124-1 in 2nd Innings, lead West Indies ‘A’ by 71 runs

 

[WestIndian]

Bangladesh 124-1 in 2nd Innings, lead West Indies ?A? by 71 runs

Hmmm, 2nd Innings, what happened in the 1st Innings?? How did it play out, you should post that here as well to give yours of the 2nd some foundation mate!!!

 

[McLOVIN]

i only posted that, because CI isnt doing live coverage for it. and if you want to know what happened on the 1st inn. then you can just go to CI and see it. but you wont find whats going on right now..

[ZexyZahid]

There is still no update from the scorecard: Tour Match: West Indies A v Bangladeshis at Bridgetown, Jul 3-5, 2009 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

But it seems Bangladesh performed better in their second innings.

And it looks like this match will be drawn. This was only a three days match.

 

[McLOVIN]
