[BD-Shardul]

After a decade of playing cricket, we are no match for NZ. Why I still bother?

[abu2abu]

In the 1st ODI we were undone by a briliant innings by Oram. Bearing that in mind, I would make the following (minimal) change:

Out - Ash
In - Aftab

The death bowling was disappointing, but the opening bowling was very good so it would be harsh to change anything in that department...

[godzilla]

I have noticed this for quite a while now, when one of the big partnership is broken ... it follows with a collapse of a bunch of wickets which leaves our tail enders with the job to revive the batting (and to be honest they do a preety decent job).

Tamim is starting to score runs in a regular basis (even though he acted like a immature little kid today on the field. You can't expect to get under vetori's skin and win the battle, bad decision at the end of the day).

Ash, Ashy BOII!! so much potential but nothing to deliver ... seems like the commentators got you figured out even before you exit the field; making a phetatic attempt to try to score some runs. Maybe it will do him some good if Aftab replaces him for a while. What is there to loose, both are brainless fools who throws in the bat at any ball!

I don't know what is going on with Shakib but with his recent performance , don't expect him to hold on to the crow for the best allrounder in the world.

Riad need's to bat a bit more on the top if we want to get some decent score on the board...

[cricket_king]

I'm glad the tiger mascot is crying this time. This team has been playing pathetic really. I cannot believe we went from 70/0 to 190 all out chasing 337. WTF.

[rubel_18]

One of the big problems is that all the players put all their hopes on Tamim to always get the bulk of runs for us but thats not possible all the time. So when he goes out they all give up.

[fais]

it is sad to say but it is time for Ash to go - we really need to play a game without Ash there.
selectors really need to find sme balls.

At least it is not so bad as when they lost 7 wickets for 23 runs in the second test match against India.
Mentally, there is something dreadfully deficient in the players.

Anyhow, i feel they should drop najmul and bring in Razzak as a spin option.

My playing XI will be (with the batting order)

Tamim
Imrul
Aftab
Mushfiq
Raqib (last chance for him)
Riyad
Shakib
Naeem
Shahadat
Rubel
Shafiul

Ash gone!

[wiseshah]

except tamim and imrul, all batsman are disgrace

[wiseshah]

sakib needs rest too, wish we had more alternatives atm

[wiseshah]

ash, sakib,rokib----totally out of form

[ravishingr]

Sakib is way overrated on the evidence of what I saw last series and proved here again. I hope he watches his counterpart Vettori and learn a bit about art. He is still young. From the little bit I saw, the pitch had no demons. If they can't score here and on such small grounds, they have no chance for the series. The NZ team actually isn't very good but BD are still notches below it at the moment.

Mine same Mizan bhai except I don't want to give any more chance to Rakib. So Ash can play at 6th spot. I don't think resting Rubel would be good idea and we've seen enough of Nazmul.

আমাদের ব্যাটসম্যানদের কেউ একজন যদি ঐ ভেটোরি হালারে জীবনের মত একটা মাইর দিতে পারে (অফকোর্স উইথ ব্যাট), তাহলে জয় আসুক আর না আসুক, আমার অশান্ত দিলটা নিউজিল্যান্ড সফরেরে বাকী সময়ের জন্য একদম ঠাণ্ডা হয়ে যাবে। Someone please do it, PLEASE. I can't take Vettori anymore!!!

Do some of us have such Idle time that they open thread 3 days ago JUST AFTER WATCHING how we are no match in Intl cricket? This happens only in this forum, not even in Indian forums.
I believe many of this forum are non resident Bangladeshis and they hardly know how much time one has to give to live even a below descent life in Dhaka.
