Match Thread: Bangladesh vs New Zealand 1st ODI at Napier, Friday 5th Feb 2010

[One World]

We were much in the game till the second drinks and then on we started to slide. Has this been not a "para level" wicket keeping from one of the most experienced campaigner in the team we could book the home side 250+ or may be less, who knows. The chasing could be much easier even with Ash's brain fart and Rok's brain jam.

One catch miss can twist the whole scenario and all the good works done earlier become useless in a whiplash - remember Mashrafi dropping Ponting, Shakib recently dropped Dhoni or was it Gamvir and now Mushfik.

Ashraful is a curse to our cricket history ..he will never change

name one player who will have a better average than Ashraful? or will score more 100s than ashraful? not in this decade man.. ashraful is pure class. on his good days he makes kallis look like murali.. but often he can be seen batting like murali.. Ash is invincible in bd cricket.. he can't be dropped.. simply No

Jeez this is the first time i actually have posted so much lol.. was fun though

[fais]

i am sick and tired of seeing ashraful come in at number 3 and making a fool of himself
also sick and tired of seeing mahmudullah come in right at the bottom - why is siddons such stubborn fool!

[dolcevita]

Please drop ash he is pathetic

[zainab]

Najmul and Shahadat leaked runs like hell. Oram was like a man possessed, he came out with the determination to blast the bowlers and they did not know how to bowl to him, both batsmen dominated the bowling,BD just about crumbled under this onslaught. Shafiul, Sakib and naeem tried to contain the runs, but I knew that after NZ reached 300 runs that the game was lost, regardless, the batsmen were under pressure right away. Razzak should have been there instead of Najmul.
I hope Aftab and Razzak are in for the second ODI

[lasith]

When will BD learn the art of winning consistently against stronger oppositions? They're playing test cricket for almost 10 years now. What should be done to rectify this problem?

I wonder how McGrath got even one wicket. He never bowled over 120kph!

Oh! Perhaps there is something in accuracy, variations, angles, etc.

[SS]

The whole game was mess from 30 overs of NZ onward...then came Shahadat and Nazmul and Oram just slaughtered
We batted well in beginning but from 70/0 to 190 what the hell middle order could not do anything...what is this...This team has not improved at all

যে দলের টপ অর্ডারে দুইজন handicap player খেলে সেই দলের আর কি হতে পারে। বর্তমান প্রেক্ষাপটে আশরাফুল এবং রকিবুল এই দুই জন যে কেনো এখনও ODI খেলছে আমার কাছে কিছুতেই বোধগম্য হচ্ছে না। আশরাফুল নামলেও ৫/৬ নম্বরের আগে নামানোর কোন যুক্তি পাচ্ছি না।

মেজাজটা পুরা বিলা খেয়ে গেলো।

[banindfan]

GUYS..when will we learn to win..I dont see any improvement at all since our Westindies tour

Who is that guy who can take that place?

Pointing at Ashraful isnt the solution ... the entire batting order is performing the same, I dont think that he is the reason for poor performance of Shakib and the rest of the team. Problem is somewhere else.

[googo]

So what else is new. It's been 10+ years and they haven't learned to win on a consistent basis in any format.

This would have been the lineup if I were Siddons:

Tamim, Imrul, Mushfiq, Mahmudullah, Naeem, Shakib, Ashraful, Aftab, Shahadat, Shafiul and Rubel.

Let Aftab and Ashraful have the swinging fun at the bottom. Mahmudullah and Naeem are batting too low down the order.

problem is mental state...and Playing Techniques....and surprisingly BD players are not learning those for years and yearsssssssss

[shuziburo]

It has become a recurring theme for BD to seize the initiative in the beginning of an inning, both while batting and bowling, and completely give it away later in the inning. Although I was afraid about exactly this, but I was hoping against hope that we will get NZ for less than 350. Most of our boys severely lacks in toughness. It is a matter of time. I hope...
