Excerpts from the Interview on fist day:
Quote:
Prosper Utseya
(Whether the absence of Mohammad Ashraful in the Bangladesh side was good for his team)
It is not in our hands that Mohammad Ashraful is not in the team. It is up to the Bangladesh selectors. For us it doesn’t matter who we take on. Whoever it is we can play cricket against him
(There was a time when Bangladesh were the underdogs against Zimbabwe. Whether he feels that balance has shifted)
Obviously we lost a number of players over the years and there was a vacuum. We are trying to fill that. The Bangladesh team has been playing together for a while so obviously they are quite experienced.
(Whether revenge for the 122-run thrashing at the hands of the Tigers in the Champions Trophy was on his mind)
Yes. Obviously.
(Whether conditions and the Bangladeshi spinners worry him)
... Yes we do worry about their spin bowling.
Kevin Curran
(His take on the favourites for this series)
Bangladesh, probably.
It’s very difficult to predict what’s going to happen. I’m not predicting results. I know what we need to do to have positive results. I hope we can do that. I can’t make any predictions at this stage.
