How can we complain? Surely they can look at the scorecard which they have as a link at the end of article.

[Rommel]

A great win! Wow was I surprised! I watched BD bowl and was a little upset that WI scored a lot at the end. I thought that Ash's bowling would cost us the match. Then the BD batting started and they got off to a bad start. After 2 overs they were at 4/1. I had to go to school so I was really pissed off thinking that we blew a great chance to win. I was hanging out at my friend's mom's classroom with my friend and I decided that before class starts I should check the score. I quickly went on Cricinfo and looked at the scorecard. 100/2! I couldn't believe it! After seeing that, I knew we would win. When I went home, my mom told me the good news!

Btw, Tamim is doing noone a favour here- not himself, to say the least!

That is where my question is. I had a problem from the beginning with Alok being chosen in this squad. He has absolutley nothing to offer as a bowler and would return with similar figures as ashraful is doing now if given a go. As a batsman we have much better proven hitters in the squad in nadif and junaid than Alok. Now if anyone comes and says we need his batting in this form of the game then I would say "you have one heck of cricketing brain".(note the sarcasm please).

Alok got a brilliant catch and so far has done nothing displeasing. I'm glad Alok Kapali is in the team.

Alok has stayed in the crease not out 'till the end several times since his inclusion and that is more than enough when you have the top order playing fantastic. people please, no more pessimism/bashing players alok will inshallah perform when his chance comes, poor fellow never even got to bowl.

i m happy that did make any mistake 2 say BD WON.
glad they at least said we won

[Rifat]

after my sehri, i saw west indies post 164/8 and then i fell asleep and woke up and i saw the headlines "Bangladesh send West indies packing" and i was so happy i made all my friends in my dorm/next dorm noodles that night(15 hours after victory) as a way of celebrating.

[zainab]

Great win against WI. mashallah.
Ash and CO should not become too complacent about SA just because they defeated them in the World cup. i am sure that SA remembers this and will not allow BD to get the better of them, they are a good and well knit team.
Zimbabwe, Kenya and Scotland have been eliminated. Now BD has to play the big boys.
They have played these guys and have been beaten badly. I am hoping this does not happen again.
Ash and his boys have been described as YOUNG AND RECKLESS. They are young, but should try to shed the recklesss bit.
Anyhow, lets wish them all the best in the next round, and hopefully win a couple of games. i will say a special Dua for them tonight after Magrib Namaaz.
