We expect no less On the issue of Manjurul, I believe he should be given a chance in the 2nd test. It is a pity that we can not take the 3rd pacer (although some may argue Khaled Mahmood is the 3rd pacer, - if he is one). However, I wish our captain well and hope that he will be able to prove his worth. Any way, it was a satisfying first day of the first test. It was encouraging to see Habibul to score another half century and Hannan and Alok kapali and Rajin to put another good show, but it was equally (if not more) disappointing to see all 3 of them to throw their wicket out. Had we not thrown our wickets out we could have reached 350+ at the end of the innings. However, it is still one of our good days wiath the bat. Boys, please build on from here. Here is our minimus expectation from the tour: 1. Draw in at least one test 2. Avoid innings defeat in at least one test. (We don't mind if you loose by a huge margin in the other test). 3. Win in at least one of the ODIs. 4. Close fight in at least 2 othe ODIs. (Any result in the other 2 ODIs will be OK). And we expect no less. You have got the potential and capabilities, you just have to show it on hte field. Remember, we have beaten them before. The days of getting satisfection after scoring 20 odd runs should come to an end. As always, well done to Khaled Masud for his stiff resistance towards the end of the innings. And Good luck to Khaled Mahmood and the boys. Ahmed Sharif Shuvo Australia

Monjurul Why Monjurul didn't get chance in the first test? He is much better than Taposh & Alomgir.
