India in Bangladesh

[brod]

Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh's captain, is aiming to hold India to a draw in the upcoming first Test starting January 17 in Chittagong. Bangladesh have not played a Test since July and have been fed a steady diet of one-day matches since, but Shakib did not believe the team would be rusty ahead of what will be their toughest series since January of last year.

When did Ashraful get sacked as captain?

Great attitude to go into a Test Match looking for a draw
Disgraceful attitute, and a losng mentality

"Bangladesh are an ordinary side. They can't beat India because they can't take 20 wickets." That was Virender Sehwag's pre-series shooter on Bangladesh on the eve of the first Test in Chittagong.

You can never accuse Sehwag of being boring. His press conferences are as interesting as his batting. He sauntered in to the press room today, remained typically blunt throughout, dealt in monosyllables and left people speechless. The Indian journalists weren't so shocked because it was almost the norm with him; a few Bangladeshi journalists looked stunned.

MS Dhoni has been ruled out of the first Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong because of a back strain. Virender Sehwag, his deputy, will lead India in the match scheduled to start on Sunday, and Dinesh Karthik will replace him as the keeper, the Indian team manager Arshad Ayub confirmed

India will kill Bangladesh. Simple as that. However announcing to the world that your aiming for a draw pretty much means that you are not going to play for the win in any way. Even when your going to get killed you should at least say you want to try and win.

What a joke, more stat boosters for India.

Harbhajan Singh has been ruled out due to a stiff neck.

Harbhajan Singh has been ruled out due to a stiff neck.

It's what's ABOVE his neck that's injured.
