Story -- Planet Cricket Rocker Vs Bangladesh -- ODI Series --

[nightprowler10]

Like i said in the other thread, i dont know their squad because i am playing the matches as Exhibition matches, so i can only assume that they will be unchanged.

That's good enough for me. I will make the FC game now but it won't include the first match as it has already started.

EDIT: Ok, I have made the first Fantasy game, it will be be based on the next two matches against Bangladesh. Everyone has 4 days to register for a team. Just remember, the top three managers win a boatload of vCash.

1st One Day International
PlanetCricket Rockers Vs Bangladesh
Dhaka

31 Over Update:

Bangladesh: 194/5

Mushfiqr Rahman: 49 (51)
Kalhed Mashud: 19 (37)

Spinners do well in the middle overs as Bangaldesh are brought back into focus!!

Part time spinners Das_Vicky and Sunial Ohjha did there work well in a 12 over stint during the middle overs, they went at arounf 3 an over as they tried to pull the run rate down. Das_Vicky claimed the only wicket during this period, the major one of Al Sahariar, he managed to hammer 62 from 40 balls including 11 fours and a six. His cracking innings was brought to an end as he tried to slog sweep Das_Vicky to the square leg boundary, he didnt get it out of the middle and NightProwler took a fantastic diving catch coming in from the boundary. The Rockers were glad to see the back of the destucive batsman however Mushfiqr Rahman still remains unbeaten on 49, you feel that if they can get rid of him they are into the tail and look on course for a chasable total.

The assault continues...

Al Sahariar is hit flush on the badge

Das_Vicky makes his mark!

A cracking innings comes to an end...

Catch of the match!

Another partnership emerges...

I dont think that the target total is reachable from here, that would mean 5 wickets for 6 runs which at the moment doesnt look possible for the Rockers. The new total should be 250-260 which is well within the PCR's batting range looking at the lineup, a very very deep batting order means that even if a few quick wicket fall there are batsmen quite far down the order, all in all PCR are in a good position and if they crry this one they should remain favourites to win the match still, what they dont need to do is get complacent, they still need to keep that killer instinct through to the end.

Good stuff there from the spinners to slow them down but only 1 wicket is a bit dissapointing and some of those bowling figures are dreadful! (4 overs for 38 !) I think 250/260 is gettable looking at how the Bangladeshi batsmen have gone about scoring easily so lets hope to get them out or restrict them to about that.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I can say for a fact that a couple of heads are on the line here...wonder if seamer number 5 Neon is busy, and if we have anymore backup spinners....

 

[S_Harmison]

It could have been 2 wickets in the 15 overs but Wild Wil put down a hard chance from Das_Vicky's leg spinners, it took the edge of Rahmans bat but it was dropped, a very hard chance though..

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Ok, thanks for that. So we also need a new keeper...

 

[Briggsey]

I have full confidence in the lads ability to bounce back here. Sure some of them including myself may have taken punishment early on from some attacking stroke play but you must remember we are playing a decent team here in their own back yard who are also looking to impress and I fully expect it to be like this in the next game too no matter what changes may be made and I also expect us to give their bowlers a bit of a pasting too considering how the pitch looks here.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

whoa i am so sorry for causing 41 runs in just 5 overs!

 

[neon]

We can still restrict the Bang boys. A couple of quick wickets and we're back in the game. I predict that we'll finish them off for 225-230. Cmon PCR!!!

 

[boss]

At once, i thought we can bundle the BDs around 200, now we have to look for the score 250+. Change of strategy might work. So we will need quick breaks now to put them under a bit of pressure. Anyhow as a coach, i've to think positively abt the situatuion. (what else?.). what ever they get, we can get it too. So no fuzz.

[nightprowler10]

The best option we've got now is to keep scoring down by bowling the right line and length. My bowling figures haven't been very impressive so far in this match, but atleast I can feel good for taking that important catch.

Ok, thanks for that. So we also need a new keeper...

Nah mate i am a wicket keeper batsman. How quickly we forget, remember three good catches v the world XI.
