I am not preaching to mushfik. I wanted to remove his gloves as much as you wanted, may be even more now after NZ match. but I have to call spade for a spade.

I do not have hate rated towards Mushfik like you do to bypass the truth. I think I always agreed with you regarding his Wkping but always argued with other antics you talk about.

He is a insect in the dressing room and everyone hates him? how do you know that? are you part of the dressing room? this is where I have problem with your view

look at the run out chance mushfik missed and then look at tamim & shakib's face. They were all uhs and ahs. If it was any of the juniors shakib would have killed him. Do you think shakib fears mushfik? its friendship from playing together all this long. if mushy was as you say he is in the dressing room he would not have many friends.

Though I agree mushfik is selfish and has the tendency to throw away younger players under the bus to save him

Papon has made it clear, no chance of change in the playing. 11

বিশ্বকাপের আয়োজকদের বিপক্ষেও একই একাদশ নিয়ে খেলবে বাংলাদেশ দল এমনটাই জানান পাপন..
স্বাগতিকদের বিপক্ষে বাংলাদেশ দলে কোনো পরিবর্তন আসবে? এমন প্রশ্নের জবাবে বিসিবি সভাপতি বললেন, ‘ইংল্যান্ডের বিপক্ষে আমার ধারণা পরিবর্তন করবে না। কারণ, একটা ম্যাচ হেরেই যদি পরিবর্তন করে, তাহলে সেটায় দলের মধ্যে ভুল বার্তা চলে যায়।’

I also agree with Papon's views here. Yes, Mushfiq has played poor in the last match, but he should be given a last go. Morever, we don't have the right replacement in the team either.

Sarkar is still in the team though

How come no-one ever spoke about this? For a Batsmen like Mushfiqur, he has 0 centuries in the world cup. I think it's time he changes that. Same goes for Tamim.

[Shadow]

Remember guys, it was Nurul Hasan's effecting of Neil Wagner's runout that changed the laws regarding runout( you are safe once you touch the ground inside the line). This guy can win you matches with his wicket keeping skills. With the bat, he is not too shabby either. He has a strike rate close to hundred. He can grow to be a good lower order batsman if given chances. We should back this guy.

I should clarify something. I don't have any hatred towards anyone. I don't take people's feelings or life itself very seriously ( I think we are all actors just playing a role), and thus I can be very blunt sometimes with my criticism and wordplay. So this can rub some people the wrong way. I threw everything at Rahim, in the hopes that it would bring more people to the truth, and there would a fan chain reaction leading all the way to BCB and cause a change. Obviously I have failed.

Regarding "locker room cancer" point, just read everything you wrote yourself, won't those tendencies make someone a locker room cancer? It's just a logical assumption.

[Desh99]

Keep an eye on umpiring!

[al Furqaan]

If Pak can beat them, we can too. We are better than Pak. Period.

[Zeeshan]

Godspeed!

Hope Sarkar breaks the jinx of falling in the 30s and go on to score 150+

The British Cricket team will cry, along with the coach, McCullum, Vaughn, Flintoff, Naseer Hossain, and the biggest one Ian Botham!!!!

Morgan was the original destructor, before all the Avengers joined the England squad.

He's still good.

I would recommend you watching that world record total game. He was at his best there.

A moderate upgrade over a Suresh Raina and David Miller type.

In the olden days, we would spend 10 years to develop a basket case like Rahim, and you won't even spare more than 2 games to develop Nurul?

I too have always been surprised by his limited run in the team. He averaged 34 (with a high SR) in his two outings, which is good for 9th all-time for Bangladesh.

How can he have a fair shake when some hogs the position, don't allow competition with child like tantrum to the media? If it was Mushfiq's way, would still be the captain of BD team. Allah Maaf koruk.

The reason I ask is if he was with Ireland could Ireland be here instead of WI or Afghans?

[simon]

I don't think Paapon khaluji got it right this time
Rubel should be in, otherwise it will be a big mistake.

I respectfully disagree.

Afghanistan didn't deserve to be here.

[al-Sagar]

Good morning guys????
Have we won the toss yet??

Sorry toss is another 8 hrs away

[Zeeshan]

Nice to see Farhad.

You know what would be sending shockwave Roey? Annihilating England in England soil.

Cardiff is fantastic for seamers. with cloudy condition we need all seamers firing...Rubel is a must unless he is injured
