Is Mashrafe Mortaza going to be an all rounder?

Mashrafe Mortaza is the pacer of Bangladesh cricket team. As a young and less experience bowler, he has listed his name in the list of pace bowler. Recently he has showed magic with his batting. On the last one day Bangladesh stood an honorable position also the first test mach. In the first innings his achievement was 79 runs from 91 balls by 7x4s, 3x6s. This score helped Bangladesh to avoid follow on.

India Times reported:

Pacer Mashrafe Mortaza on Monday scored a career high 79 as Bangladesh avoided the follow-on but conceded a 149-run first innings lead to India on the fourth and penultimate day of the rain-marred first Test that looks heading for a draw.

India-Bangladesh Cricket Test and Sachin Tendulkar

In The South Asia Biz I read an article abut Sachin Tendulkar. The heading was like “Resources of Sachin Tendulkar Pictures/Images”. In this article the write also wrote, “TV viewers saw Sachin for 121 hours of TV airtime.” It has happened only for his popularities and the magic on cricket.

Riding on his bicycle Shudhir Kumr came from India to see Sachin Tendulkar’s bating in Chittagonj. On India- Bangladesh test cricket the fan of Sachin came form Bihar. In this test Sachin stored another century in his careen and now it is totally 36 century.

The Daily Star reported:

"It is for the second time that I have travelled with my bicycle abroad. I first visited Pakistan only to watch Sachin because he is my favourite player and I love his batting," said Sudhir.

"I hardly need any money because I always travel with my bicycle," he said claiming that he has a talking term with the Indian batting stalwart

Bangladesh vs India Test series: Bangladesh does not want to draw

On May 21, 2007, news was in the daily Prothom Alo about the aspect of Bangladeshi cricket team. The head line was that Bangladesh does not want to take the effort of rain to draw the first test.

On the four day, Bangladesh has proven it but Bangladesh had to fight more. Before 50 runs Bangladesh lost 3 wicket and fall in to presser on 122 runs Bangladesh lost 7 wickets and their dream was come to dream only. The last three wickets held the rudder of Bangladesh and it blew them on 238. The last three wickets added 126 runs which was more valuable. This 126 helped Bangladesh to awake their dream to continue the match.

Last, not least, to see the final result we have to wait for the day five. On the end of the day, again India came to batting and has lost two valuable wickets. Now KD Karthik 15, SR Tendulkar 24 is on the batting now. I think this early wickets fall India on pressure.

The Hindu reported:

Shastri, who took charge of the Indian team only for the ensuing series, said the tour would be a challenge. "It will be a challenging tour especially after the World Cup debacle. We will put out our best foot forward,'' he told newsmen before the camp wound up on Sunday morning.

Referring to the past performance, Shastri said, "what I did not like in the last six months was that the cricketers were going through the motions like they were doing a sort of a 9 to 5 job. If you don't enjoy playing, then forget about winning,'' he said.

Dravid will captain the side. There is no question about that. We know who will lead in case of any eventuality,'' he informed.

The fielding coach, Robin Singh, also drew praise from Shastri. "Robin is tough task master. He will make you put in the best,'' he said.

India is not thinking that it will be easy to beat Bangladesh. It is clear to their conversion.
