Amar doubt hocche BD players committment niye...

We have a weak bowling attack and i am doubtful to stand neck to neck against India.They have a very good batting lineup.I am not hopeful at all just coz our bowling (read fast bowling) su*** big time.We have only Sakib and Razzak who will bowl the full 10 overs and the rest (Rubel/Rasel/Shafiul/Riyad/Naeem) are there to complete the numbers.I say bring back Enamul (or even Shuvo).

I am missing Rafiq,Mortaza.
Just imagine our bowling attack: Mortaza,Rafiq,Sakib,Razzak

We could have been one of the better sides in ODI cricket with the likes of those missing bowlers and a good batting lineup of this tri nation cup.

I still despise the forced retirement of Mohammad Rafique. Why he was forced to retire when he still can easily deliver 10 economical overs? Politics > Interest of the game and nation.

We need a 3rd seamer for the game against india. I think we have too many spinners, given the type of wicket and the opposition we're facing.

Either rasel or shahadat should come in in addition to Shafiul and rubel. But that would mean dropping riyad, razzak or naeem. we need naeem and riyad for their batting and razzak is our most experienced (and effective) spinner. It's a tough call.

The only other alternative is to drop a riyad or naeem and bring aftab in on the proviso that he bowls 5 or 6 overs of military medium. Either way it's not ideal...

Aren't you overlooking that we don't have an effective pacer available? Since Mashrafe was injured and Rasel became ineffective, our spinners have been carrying our bowling.

I would, in fact, recommend dropping one pacer and bringing back Enamul. A much better option be unretiring Rafique, but that is too sensible for BCB to consider.

Totally agreed.

If BCB acts smart they can still bring back Rafique but thats not gonna happen.

Who's to say shahdat or rasel will be ineffective? They've not yet bowled in the series.

I certainly don't think yet another spinner is the answer. Of the two paltry wickets we took yesterday, neither fell to a spinner despite the fact that we had 4 spinners operating (5 if you include Ash's solitary over)!

Enamul is not in the squad, so I don't think a recall for him is likely. If the selectors are looking beyond the 15-man squad, there are certainly more options. Even Tapash or Reza could return...

Out of 4 two are useless (Yes,Riyad and Naeem aren't any answer to a stronger batting lineup)

i wud be willing to risk dropping a batsman e.g. raqibul, for a third pacer

how is adding more of an ineffective thing going to make the situation any better - our two top spinners cudnt make any headway how is enamul going to help the situation?

With these bowlers, the only way we can win this is if we score 400 and the Indian batsmen have a bad day. So maar Ashrafuilla maar!!

Shakib should take a break if he fails to perform in next match.

I hope BD wins and bat second, since everyone consider dew to be a big factor...... However, after losing their game today to Sri Lanka they wont be taking tomorrows game litely... good luck to you guys....

Our Injury list continues... Chamara silva will be replaced by Chandimal, as far as I consider its a blessing since this Kid plays good cricket and every one wants him in the team sooner rather than later.

[beshideshi]

I have always believed that a team should play with their best 4[or 5] bowlers, regardless of what is their specialty. And if we go with out best 5 bowlers, 4 of them at the moment will be spinners. And we need to realize that, if we dont play our best bowlers we cant win. Let India be the best team against spin, but if Raz/Shak keeps their line & length like they did against SL, I would prefer them over any pacer in our team.

[detshoitan]

relax ppl tomorrow will be a good game

India lost to SL in their 1st ODI- they will play with full caution and confidence. Do u guys remember India went nuts after losing to BD in the World Cup, they scored 400+ against Bermuda? How about 2004 when we beat them in Bongabondu stadium, dhaka? remember the following game they scored 300+ and beat us like we were u10 cricket team?

Positive: If they get over confidence they will try to hit 6 and 4 off every ball and our hybrid (tapash kumar + shahadat hossain) paceman Rubel might get few wickets...we may create a new history tomorrow!!!

Negative: If their batsmen get going they will not show any mercy. Gautam and Sehwag, dhoni, Raina had bad day yesterday so they will try to score alotttttttts of runs...

His handicap is an asset.

And, our selectors came from "heaven"...
