A very bad attitude, they scored 170 against AIS, where as we have crossed 250 three times against them and collapsed only to around 220-230 once.

Bowling has improved since the last match, and mind you we have never fielded our best bowling attack.

I think Bangladesh have a chance of winning this, this aussie side isnt worrying me at all. Its only the bowlers mitchell johnson, stuart clark, and a couple of their batsman (hussey a, symonds) who pose the threat of ruining this chance.

That is also my feeling about BD bowling. If Shahadat and Mash bowl together and Alok and Sakib in the middle overs, Razzak is there as the nuclious. So far good bowling attack for BD for a long time.

They have good bowlers and our batsmen need to be patient.

I thought Diet Coke is a 'diet' because of the lack of syrup in it? Regular Coke maybe?

Ever since I have been around in BC, I have seen a lot of Match threads, but the quality and innovation applied by Kalpurush in this one has been second to none. As such, he deserves all the plaudits and accolades showered upon him, and I thank him again for this visual masterpiece. Kudos Kalpurush..

visual masterpiece? OMG, please calm down guys and try to contain yourselves. It is after all, only a thread, but the way everyone keeps going on and on about it, some one is going to have a heart attack out of the excitement and sheer pleasure they seem to be deriving out of it.

come on now, get a life and lets concentrate on tomorrow's match.

Brillaint thread Kalp.... oops sorry , I think this is becoming contagious.

In way you ae right,, this is the best team to date. With Shahadat/Mashraeee as the opening bowlers, Razzaque/Alok/Saqib/Farhad in the middle,,, this is the best we had to date. With Tamim/Mehrab contrast,,, Ashraful/Raqibul/Saqib middle order and Alok/Farhad or Riad as the all rounders and the dependable Dhiman,,, we have a solid combnation of players ho can really produce some good results if clicked... The key being (click). These players can bring down any team if they really have the "Dhiman" head,, and bit of luck..

You have taken the words from my mouth Dhakablues, this is exactly what i wanted to say.

[bujhee kom]

this might be it guys!
1st ODI - i got good sensation!

i got the gut feeling for mash and ash here!
mash's bowling - watch out!
ash - fire with the bat!
shakib - storming all-round!
dhiman - destructive batting - watch out!

and finally big z - if he gets another chance - this time he will fire up - and fire up big time! i would never write him off! he is marching! all in due time!
just a well-wishing supporter's gut intuition! i could be very worng! but it's all okay!
i am concentrating hard in my praying thoughts that we - the tigers - will play good and spectacular cricket on saturday in darwin!
i wish all the best for the boys of ash and clarke for a good, healthy, exciting match of cricket!

The way the Australian's played they felt like throwing up.. Hence..

i predict by the time this thread dies out, it will have 45-55 pages! and until the last minute before the match starts, it will have 7-8 pages!

[jisaan]

looks like most of us has settled on the following team:
-Tamim-Mehrab
-Ashraful-Alok-Sakib-Raqib-Dhiman
-Razzak-Dollar
-Mashrafe-Shahadat

They are looking really worried. Specially Ashraful. Why he is so worried? Clark is a young captain just like Ashraful. They are both the star of their own team. Furthermore there is no Lee.

Thank you for your super natural power. I would like to ask a question. When Bangladesh will win a series in Australia?
