SERIES SNIPPETS

HASAN MASOOD
Bangladesh cricket team will fly to Chittagong this afternoon for the Gra-meenPhone first
Test against South Africa starting April 24.
After arriving in the port city, Khaled Mahmud's men will only rest for an hour before having their nets at the MA Aziz Stadium.
On the other hand, South Africa will fly to the commercial capital of the country in the morning.
This is the fourth time that the venue will be hosting a Test match.
It was baptised in November 2001 when Bangladesh played Zimbabwe. Then three months later it was the turn of Pakistan to visit. The last team to play there was West Indies in December
2002.
The second Test begins in Dhaka on May 1.
UMP'S HAT MISSES 4
Umpire M Akhteruddin's hat almost went for a four while he was officiating in the TVS Cup final between India and South Africa yesterday.
The bizarre incident happened in the 13th over when play was stopped for a few minutes due to the blustery wind.
The Bangladesh official was standing at square leg when suddenly his cap started rolling towards deep fine leg.
The crowd seeing such a sight began cheering wildly.
IT ALWAYS RAINS WHEN
INDIA PLAYS
Rain seems to follow India wherever they play.
It began with the ICC Champions Trophy final in Colombo last year that was eventually washed out.
The organisers declared both finalists India and Sri Lanka as joint champions. In the World Cup final Indian captain Saurav Ganguly opted to field against Australia with a view to taking advantage of the early moisture in the wicket at The Wanderers.
But the pitch fooled Ganguly as the Australians scored a mammoth 341.
And now in Dhaka the rain curse has ensured the Indians share another trophy. This time it is with the Proteas after the tri-series final had to be abandoned for the second day in a row.
