#second test dhaka

[caspersoo]

The Movie 'Barfi' had a scene where Barfi stands under a lamp post with his lover Shruti. He wanted to test the loyalty of Shruti. He chops the post off and let it fall on Shruti. He stood nearby to see what Shruti does. He knew the post was not going to touch her. He made the measurements before. While the post fells, Shruti runs away. Barfi gets frustrated seeing that.

In the first test of the loyalty the beautiful girl fails miserably. She stepped aside fearing that the post would fall on her. Barfi runs this test once again on Jhilmil. The love of his second life Jhilmil didn't move a bit seeing the post coming towards her. The lamp post fells and breaks the glass bottle. Jhilmil was standing there holding Barfi's shirt with her finger like she always does.

Jhilmil was mentally challenged. She wasn't smart. She couldn't understad what was going on. All Jhilmil had was her trust. Barfi, who holds her fingers and walks in front of her always, If he's there with her, no harm will ever come to her! he won't need to call her by her name standing in front of her house. All he needs to do is to throw his shoe through the window.

You need a Jhilmil in your life. Doesn't matter she is pretty or not. You need a Jhilmil to hold your hand and walk blindly beside you. You need a Jhilmil, who would come close to you and hold your finger if she gets scared at night. You need someone to fall asleep holding her finger!

'Barfi' teaches you the hardest reality of life. If you find a Jhilmil, never let her go. The reality is it's quite impossible to find a Jhilmil. The scene where Shruti's mother takes her to show her mothers lover who became a woodcutter, shows you how cruel reality could be! Shruti was a victim of situation as well.

When Barfi went to Shruti's house to ask her hand from her father, Shruti's father gave him some money as her mother told him Barfi came for donations. It broke Barfi's innocent heart who neither could hear nor could talk. Before walking out of their house he congratulated Shruti and her to-be husband saying they look great together through sign language. His umbrella doesn't open, his bi-cycle breaks down. He see's the expensive car of Shruti's to-be husband. He realizes the difference between Him and Shruti. What he was expecting was total madness. This scene is a solid masterpiece. One of the very few of Bollywood's gold. It's so pure that it hits straight inside your heart.

I watched 'Barfi' for the first time on a flight from Dhaka to Dallas, Texas. I boarded that flight with a heavy heart, as I was leaving all my loved ones behind. The flight was going to be a very long one. I wanted to distract my self, badly wanted to focus on something else. I opened the movie screen and 'Barfi' popped up. Started watching it without any thoughts or expectations. Honestly speaking, I couldn't even move to go to the lavatory through that two and half hour. Both Ranbir and Priyanka showed the world what they were made of and capable of doing. The music by Pritam was out of this world. The track 'Phir Le Aya Dil' by Shafqat Amanat Ali is a treat for your soul every time you listen to it, every time!

'Barfi' leaves a wonderful feeling with you after you watch it. It's like a magical hallucination. The movie makes you smile and say, "The biggest risk in life is to never take any risk!"

It makes you believe that there is a huge difference betweem loving someone madly and being loved by someone blindly. The second one is precious.

Very few people in the world get loved the way Jhilmil loved Barfi!

Sayonara everyone! <3

sometimes when im talking to someone in a language that ive just started learning/aren't very fluent at yet. lets say its my L6 and its Portuguese (a nod to my qsmp friends) and someone says a word ( like obrigado) thats sounds like its similar enough to another language L4 (like arigato in Japanese). it momentarily makes my next words become that language L4 but i know my response is supposed to be in L6 so instead my words just die. same thing happens when im talking in other languages like my L2 is Hindi but sometimes my pronunciations bring my L1 bangla accents (u can tell the difference. its awkward dealing w/ the অ and अ difference of hindi and bangla) and i ultimately freeze up.

but i dont think people 'switch' like that in the middle of a conversation at worst they will pause and then test out the next few words before continuing again.

also certain stressful situations when speaking to i L2 (english) friends IN L2 isnt enough and i have to switch to L1(3,4,5,6) to spit out a few words before tuning back in.

also (i don't know how much it is prevalent in other languages) but my L1 (bangla) has specific dialects with specific words tht don't make sense in other dialects. there is also a 'proper' dialect every child is taught to speak. but i found out the hard way that you sometimes just switch.

ok, story time: average discord call w/ friends. I don't talk that much but when i do its in a perfect ameriacn accent (w/ british words thrown in btw!!!!! english is so weird) that i copied from movies. most a few of the others in the call are also bilingual who have english as their second language but are still fluent in it nonetheless.

new person joined. never really spoke to this person audibly before but have chatted with him. I'm doing origami and he's apparently playing. i have another bangla speaking friend that i know irl in the same call.

i guess he dies or smth cuz i hear a ᴰᴴᴬᵀ⁻ᵗᵉʳᶦᵏᵃ from him and i snap my head and go "YOOO? BHAI??? TUI KEDA RE ETO CHENA CHENA LAGTASE???????? (translation: YOOO? DUDE??? WHO ARE YOU YOU'RE KINDA FAMILIAR) there is a pause and i hear him go "EIII! TUI EKHONO BAICHHA ASOS???" (translation: HEYYY! YOU'RE STILL ALIVE) (long story we were irl classmates and i haven't heard from him in a while) other people in our call congratulate us for finding a third bangla speaking person and then we both start rapid fire talking in bangla at one point someone jokingly asks the third guy (lets call him red) asks red if he can translate for them to which he deadpans "no hes from Barisal i can't understand a third of the words hes saying"

AND HE WAS GENUINE ABT IT. like red legit couldn't understand him cuz we switched into the weird dhaka-(home district) hybrid language most students in dhaka spoke the moment we got excited and started catching up w/ each other. red couldn't understand cuz he didn't know the barisal dialect and is not from dhaka but I could understand him just fine despite being unable to understand the barisal dialect fully as well.

sometimes i also watch dramas that are MADE OUR COUNTRY IN THE SAME LANGUAGE OF BANGLA and not understand a WORD being spoken w/o the subtitles cuz they are speaking adialect so far away from dhaka that it practically in comprehensible (srsly look up a map of bangladesh in the main 7 divisions the farther towards the hills it goes the more incomprehensible it becomes. the dialect of dhaka is so much different from the one in sylhet which is different from the one in chittagong.

but still ( @etfrin ) i implore u to understand how much of it was a shock to realise that people from like, lets say brahmanbaria could not understand the dhaka hybrid language that we students speak bc its got WAY too many additions from other dialects of other districs and just stopped making sense for them!

also, plz i wanna know more dialect shenanigans yall have faced w/ ur languages.

contrary to popular belief, someone who is fluent in their second language (L2) is unlikely to slip into their first language (L1)  in these circumstances:

if someone just said something to them in L2 (this a big unconscious cue, and you’d be really unlikely to respond in L1 right after that)

when swearing in the middle of a sentence (e.g. “oh merde, i forgot my keys!”)

during sex

when speaking to someone they normally speak to in L2

it is slightly more common in these circumstances:

swearing, as long it’s not part of a sentence (e.g. they might just mutter “merde” if they forgot their keys)

if they’re surprised (especially if falling/tripping or experiencing sudden pain!)

when speaking to someone they normally speak to in L1

in their sleep or talking to themselves

when very disoriented, such as when concussed or on certain drugs

that being said, it is very common for people to intentionally use their first language in front of people who don’t speak it for a variety of reasons (they might use a short expression they only know in L1, call their partner pet names, dirty talk during sex because their partner finds it attractive) – but this is on purpose!

also this doesn’t account for people who grew up in an environment where people often mix multiple languages in their speech (e.g. spanglish or franglais) – in that case, they may accidentally drop an L1 swear into an L2 sentence, though they’ll still generally stick to L2 when speaking to people who only speak that language

Checkout ICC Champions Trophy winners list

The ICC Champions Trophy is a 50-over cricket tournament organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and contested by the top eight cricketing nations. The tournament started in 1998, named the ICC KnockOut Trophy, and was held after a gap of every 2-4 years. 

Unlike the ICC Cricket World Cup, which is a larger, more comprehensive tournament, the Champions Trophy focused on fewer teams and was often considered a smaller, more exclusive event. The ICC Champions Trophy was discontinued after 2017, and the ICC decided to prioritize other tournaments like the ICC World Cup and the ICC T20 World Cup.

In 2025, the International Cricket Council is looking forward to organizing the exclusive ODI tournament in a hybrid model with Pakistan and Dubai hosting the matches. Teams like India, England, Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh, South Africa, and Afghanistan will take part in the prestigious tournament.

Here’s a list of winners of the ICC Champions Trophy

3: India and Sri Lanka (2002)

The third edition of the ICC Champions Trophy was hosted by Sri Lanka, while it was scheduled to be hosted in India. The trophy was shared between India and Sri Lanka due to rain interruption for two days. 

4: West Indies (2004)

The 2004 edition of the ICC Champions Trophy was hosted by England in the Edgbaston, The Rose Bowl and The Oval. Under the leadership of Brian Lara, the West Indies team triumphed in a thrilling match, defeating the host nation, England, to clinch the title.

5. Australia (2006)

The 2006 ICC Champions Trophy was hosted by India, after the Indian government agreed that tournament revenues would be free from tax. This was the first time, where the top 8 teams competed for the title. Australia clinched the Champions Trophy title after defeating West Indies in a rain affected match. 

6. Australia (2009)

The 2009 edition of the ICC Champions Trophy was scheduled to be hosted in Pakistan, but was shifted to South Africa due to security concerns. Australia clinched the title after defeating New Zealand and became the first team to win the ICC Champions Trophy consecutively.

7. India (2013)

The 2013 Champions Trophy was hosted by England and Wales as the tournament was set to be replaced by the ICC World Test Championship in 2017. The Indian side clinched the title under the leadership of MS Dhoni, after defeating England in a 20-over final

[ad_1] Virat Kohli during one of his innings in the India vs New Zealand Test Series. Source: BCCI I have said this in the past, and I am saying it again. There can be no second Sachin Tendulkar in red-ball cricket. He was the greatest, and a genius of a very different magnitude. Having said that, Virat Kohli is also a once-in-a-generation player who must be hurting hugely after what happened against New Zealand. Much like Rohit Sharma, Kohli was not at his best. Or remotely close to it. But that’s where I think things will work for him and India in Australia. A proud performer, he will go back to the drawing board and figure it out. Do we have anyone to replace him for a tour like Australia? The answer is an overwhelming NO. The truth is that he is still the best we have, and the person to bank on for the Australia series. When Kohli failed in England in 2014, making just 134 runs in 10 innings, much was said about his frailties against the moving ball. It was also said that he isn’t the man for the next tour to Australia. His response was to score four hundreds Down Under, and take over the mantle of India’s batting great. Against New Zealand, he failed. And miserably. Much like the most of his teammates. And that’s where introspection must have started. He will hurt, and hurt a lot. Every champion has an ego and Kohli is no different. He will know that the New Zealand series was a black mark for him as a great of the game. He will seek redemption and go back to basics. He is still incredibly fit, and if Tendulkar could do it in 2010 at the age of 37, there’s no reason why Kohli can’t rediscover his mojo in Australia. In 2011-12, it was his first tour there with the senior team. And at Perth in January 2012, the Australians, as they often do, managed to get under Kohli’s skin. Not able to handle the heckling from spectators, Kohli descended to low-level combat – showing the middle finger to a particularly noisy section of the crowd after they called him a w***er. Such anger (mis)management was a feature of the early Kohli, and there were concerns it would get in the way of a full blossoming of his talent. Two months down the line, it was a very different story. Kohli had just scored a match-winning 183 against Pakistan in Dhaka in a match that had ended close to midnight. The media, present in strength, were waiting for the Kohli soundbite before filing their match reports. At Mirpur, the press conference enclosure is on the opposite side to the pavilion, and one has to trek across the ground to get there. On his way to the media centre, Kohli suddenly stopped, turned and started jogging towards a section of fans in the stands. Some 2,000 spectators had stayed back after the match and were still screaming “Kohli, Kohli” with gusto. Kohli, to the surprise of many present, decided to oblige them first with photographs and autographs before turning his attention to the media. He was fully aware, of course, of what he was doing, and he even apologised to the media contingent as soon as he entered the press conference room. Dejected Virat Kohli (PC: X) The transformation had begun. I remember having a conversation with him sometime after India had lost the World Cup semi-final to New Zealand in Manchester in July 2019. He had been dismissed for one by an incoming Trent Boult delivery, a ball that television replays showed clipping the top of the stump. The decision could have gone either way, and it was unfortunate for Kohli and India that the umpire’s dreaded finger had gone up. “Honestly, when we went to the World Cup, I had this very strong feeling in my heart that the team would need me in some game and it would be a chase,” he said. “I swear I had this feeling so strong that I am going to come not out at the end of the game and take India through that rough phase. And I really felt strong that was the game (semi-final vs New Zealand). “When I walked out to bat, I knew this is the game, but maybe that was my ego talking because

how can you predict something like that? You can only have a strong feeling, or maybe it was a strong desire of mine. But it did not turn out that way. My dismissal was really disappointing for me. This wasn’t because I hadn’t scored. It was because I had failed to contribute to the team, and we lost a match that we should have won.” The situation is very similar. More than ever, India need him to raise his bat in Australia and make it count. And on his birthday, may I say that all of us hope that he will. Happy Birthday, and all the very best.

Corey Anderson had always been known for his powerful striking, but he took it to a new level on New Year's Day 2014 when he set what was then the world record for the fastest ODI hundred with a 36-ball blitzkrieg against West Indies in Queenstown. It came at a time, a few months after he scored a century in his second Test, that Anderson was suggesting he was ready to fulfill the potential spotted in him as a teenager.

Anderson, who would not look out of place in the All Blacks' front row, became the youngest New Zealand player to gain a contract when, at 16, he was awarded the deal that Chris Harris declined. Anderson had already appeared for Canterbury the previous year and, within a year, he had played for New Zealand A, as well as in the State final. A left-arm pace bowler and middle-order batsman, Anderson played in the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2008 and two years later again made the squad for the tournament, which was held at home in New Zealand.

Anderson made his first-class debut in 2007, but had to wait till 2012 for his maiden first-class century. It was a big hundred, though - 167 against Otago - and soon after that he was included in New Zealand's squad for the Twenty20 international series in South Africa. He didn't do much in that series, and was injured for the subsequent one-dayers - a continuation of fitness issues that have followed him through the early part of his career - but continued to score runs in the domestic season. In 2013, he was included in New Zealand's ODI squad for the Champions Trophy, and made his debut in that format against England in Cardiff.

A Test debut followed later in the year against Bangladesh and he scored a hundred in the second match of the series in Dhaka. Since then, he has established himself as a regular member of the New Zealand side in all three formats, and played a key role in their run to the ODI World Cup final in 2015. He made a strong case to be adjudged the allrounder of the tournament, scoring two half-centuries, including a 58 in the semi-final chase against South Africa, and picking up 14 wickets at 16.71.

In 2021, Anderson made a move to the USA and participated in the Major League Cricket competition subsequently. In 2024, he was selected in USA's T20 World Cup squad.

The New Zealand vs Bangladesh Test series ended 1-1.© AFPCricket's world governing body said Tuesday that a review of last week's second Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand had found it found the pitch "unsatisfactory". Fifteen wickets fell on the opening day of the match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka, with neither side making more than 180 in an innings. New Zealand won the Test to level the two-match series 1-1 on Saturday but captain Tim Southee afterwards criticised the pitch as the "worst wicket" he had come across in his long career.The International Cricket Council (ICC) said Tuesday that match referee David Boon had also found the pitch was not up to scratch."It appeared that the pitch may have been under prepared, as it was not hard and was covered in grass clippings on day one," Boon's report to the ICC said."From the first session onwards, throughout the remainder of the match the bounce was inconsistent with numerous balls bursting the surface," it added."Deliveries from spin bowlers often went over the batter's shoulder when playing forward and then occasionally stayed very low."The stadium was issued one demerit point by the ICC for garnering the "unsatisfactory" rating.Demerit points stay valid for five years and if a venue gains six of them, it is banned from hosting international cricket matches for a year.Pitches at the Mirpur stadium have been criticised numerous times over recent years for their slow and low characteristics. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has 14 days to appeal the sanction.Topics mentioned in this article

Bangladeshi player defends Mushfiqur Rahim’s “handling the ball”

by referencing Angelo Mathews’ “timed out” dismissal during the World Cup.

In the history of Test cricket, Mushfiqur Rahim set an unwelcome record when he was dismissed for “obstructing the field.”

Mushfiqur Rahim, the wicketkeeper for Bangladesh, set an unwelcome landmark by becoming the second batter to be ejected in Test cricket for “obstructing the field.” He moved the ball away from the stumps with his hand after blocking a delivery from Kyle Jamieson on the opening day of the second Test match between Bangladesh and New Zealand in Dhaka.

Spinner Mehidy Hasan defended Mushfiqur during the press conference following the day’s play, stating that the senior cricket player’s actions were not deliberate. While discussing Mushfiqur’s incident on Wednesday, he also brought up the ‘timed out’ dismissal of Sri Lankan hitter Angelo Matthews in the Cricket World Cup 2023.

“Look, this one just happened naturally; it wasn’t intended. No one desires to go knowingly. Throughout various gaming scenarios, a lot of things are racing through one’s head. At the press conference, he stated, “Today with Mushfiq bhai, it all happened in a flow. In the World Cup, we got a timed-out dismissal against a Sri Lankan batter in our favor.”

“I have to decide quickly what I can and cannot do while I am batting after making a shot and the ball is getting close to the stumps. He didn’t do that on purpose, for sure.”

Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan combined for five wickets to help Bangladesh rally over New Zealand, who were suffering at 55-5.

In the opening day of play in Dhaka, an incredible 15 wickets fell, as the hosts were all out for just 172 in an innings in which Mushfiqur Rahim became only the second batsman in Test history to be removed for blocking the field.

After that, Mehidy and Taijul plowed through New Zealand in the last session, but poor light forced an early end.

After Taijul dismissed Tom Latham (4) and Henry Nicholls (1), Mehidy removed Devon Conway (11), Kane Williamson (13) and Tom Blundell (0) to completely destroy the tourists’ early lead.

After the game, Mehidy remarked, “We thought we could make life difficult for them if we bowled in the right areas.”

“We had trouble with their spinners. Our bowlers felt more confident that we could get more out of this surface because we are very familiar with these conditions.”

At the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, stumps were drawn with nine overs remaining, Daryl Mitchell on 12 and Glenn Phillips on 5.

Earlier, after the hosts chose to bat, Mitchell Santner and Phillips grabbed 3-65 and 3-31, respectively, while Ajaz Patel got 2-54 for the tourists as they dominated in their attempt to tie the two-match series.

Dejected Virat Kohli (PC: X) The transformation had begun. I remember having a conversation with him sometime after India had lost the World Cup semi-final to New Zealand in Manchester in July 2019. He had been dismissed for one by an incoming Trent Boult delivery, a ball that television replays showed clipping the top of the stump. The decision could have gone either way, and it was unfortunate for Kohli and India that the umpire’s dreaded finger had gone up. “Honestly, when we went to the World Cup, I had this very strong feeling in my heart that the team would need me in some game and it would be a chase,” he said. “I swear I had this feeling so strong that I am going to come not out at the end of the game and take India through that rough phase. And I really felt strong that was the game (semi-final vs New Zealand). “When I walked out to bat, I knew this is the game, but maybe that was my ego talking because

how can you predict something like that? You can only have a strong feeling, or maybe it was a strong desire of mine. But it did not turn out that way. My dismissal was really disappointing for me. This wasn’t because I hadn’t scored. It was because I had failed to contribute to the team, and we lost a match that we should have won.” The situation is very similar. More than ever, India need him to raise his bat in Australia and make it count. And on his birthday, may I say that all of us hope that he will. Happy Birthday, and all the very best.

[ad_1] Virat Kohli during one of his innings in the India vs New Zealand Test Series. Source: BCCI I have said this in the past, and I am saying it again. There can be no second Sachin Tendulkar in red-ball cricket. He was the greatest, and a genius of a very different magnitude. Having said that, Virat Kohli is also a once-in-a-generation player who must be hurting hugely after what happened against New Zealand. Much like Rohit Sharma, Kohli was not at his best. Or remotely close to it. But that’s where I think things will work for him and India in Australia. A proud performer, he will go back to the drawing board and figure it out. Do we have anyone to replace him for a tour like Australia? The answer is an overwhelming NO. The truth is that he is still the best we have, and the person to bank on for the Australia series. When Kohli failed in England in 2014, making just 134 runs in 10 innings, much was said about his frailties against the moving ball. It was also said that he isn’t the man for the next tour to Australia. His response was to score four hundreds Down Under, and take over the mantle of India’s batting great. Against New Zealand, he failed. And miserably. Much like the most of his teammates. And that’s where introspection must have started. He will hurt, and hurt a lot. Every champion has an ego and Kohli is no different. He will know that the New Zealand series was a black mark for him as a great of the game. He will seek redemption and go back to basics. He is still incredibly fit, and if Tendulkar could do it in 2010 at the age of 37, there’s no reason why Kohli can’t rediscover his mojo in Australia. In 2011-12, it was his first tour there with the senior team. And at Perth in January 2012, the Australians, as they often do, managed to get under Kohli’s skin. Not able to handle the heckling from spectators, Kohli descended to low-level combat – showing the middle finger to a particularly noisy section of the crowd after they called him a w***er. Such anger (mis)management was a feature of the early Kohli, and there were concerns it would get in the way of a full blossoming of his talent. Two months down the line, it was a very different story. Kohli had just scored a match-winning 183 against Pakistan in Dhaka in a match that had ended close to midnight. The media, present in strength, were waiting for the Kohli soundbite before filing their match reports. At Mirpur, the press conference enclosure is on the opposite side to the pavilion, and one has to trek across the ground to get there. On his way to the media centre, Kohli suddenly stopped, turned and started jogging towards a section of fans in the stands. Some 2,000 spectators had stayed back after the match and were still screaming “Kohli, Kohli” with gusto. Kohli, to the surprise of many present, decided to oblige them first with photographs and autographs before turning his attention to the media. He was fully aware, of course, of what he was doing, and he even apologised to the media contingent as soon as he entered the press conference room.
