No, Mash will give his usual speech about if we had scored 20 -30 more runs, we would have won the match!

Also, Nazmul Hossain would have been unplayable in this pitch

[mij]

^ That's what I mean can't even take single.

[simon]

Such disciplined bowling from Eng unlike last match

What about the day before yesterday when he was smashing it to all parts the day before yesterday

Seriously though, it seems that Shakib bats well in the first match of a bilateral series and then falls away during the rest of the tournament.

What makes my blood boil is when people come from England, SA and all these other parts of the world and school us on how to play on our conditions, our pitch and our backyard. Why can't we figure out our own ground after playing on it for so many years ?

[mij]

Athar Ali England ka tal malish kora. And not mention he is bigger kufa than shamim.

[Nadim]

Now we have given up. 200 er Jonno kheltese

250 niche walk in the park hobe England er jonno.

We should continue to look for runs

Mosaddek forgot how to bat after his debut

[mij]

ThIs mosaddek becoming moosha.

I ask the same question - but fact is facts. Our batting is just not there. Stupid unnecessary shots forever going on.

These idiots eating up dot balls is going to get Riyad out

[Roni_uk]

Shakib's first ODI performances in recent times:

England, 2016: 79, 3, ...

Afghanistan, 2016: 48, 17, 17

Zimbabwe, 2015: 16

South Africa, 2015: 48, 0*, DNB

India, 2015: 52, 51*, 20

Pakistan, 2015: 31, 7*, DNB

World Cup, 2015: 63, 46, 52*, 2, 23, 10

Zimbabwe, 2014: 101, 0, 40, 1, 0

Partly due to dominant top order performances but perhaps also to falling away as a series progresses? Seems to be a trend since his comeback in late 2014.
