Bangladesh team has been announced, and the only change is nafis comes in, in place of mahmud.

The Team:

01. Javed Omar
02. Nafis Iqbal
03. Habibul Bashar
04. Rajin Saleh
05. Mohammad Ashraful
06. Aftab Ahmed
07. Khaled Masud
08. Manjurul Rana
09. Mohammad Rafique
10. Taposh Baiysa
11. Nazmul Hossain

NZ squad is unknown, but some diarrhoea attack in their camp might have some impact on their squad.

Bangladesh team will be desparately looking to regain their lost respect. According to prothom alo, their goal is not win or fight or anything else but to "not loosing any wicket in first 15 overs".

Good Luck Tigers.

[Rubu]

despite the fact that everyone sucks now a days, bd team looks in full strength in quite a long while. except for the fact that 100% fit masri can be a good adition to pace attack, the team does not look bad at all.

BUT, they all do the same regardless of pitch, squad or anything.

we desparately need to win the toss to bat first. batting on floodlight gonna be "..... upor bisher phora".

[acbizz]

If NZ bats first then their score will be 300+

If bd bats then around 140 (1st/2nd doesnt matter)

Who is the 5th bowler? Are they pretty much sure that BD will bat first and New Zealand will not need more than 40 overs to win? Now if NZ bats first what is going to happen? World Record?

At least you should give a chance to our respectful captain to say something after their horrible bating in the match. It is the same whether they bat at first in day light or at night in the flood light.

Team is quite good. Unfortunately I cannot give up to follow the match. So, lets hope again.

[Rubu]

rajin and asharaful has to share the ball to make it up for the 5th bowler, assuming that NZ has to play over 40 overs. not sure if aftab/nafis can ball a bit too.

[mahbubH]

I will be happy if BD score at least 100 this time. I do not care how much NZ score

[Fazal]

I will be happy if all these players plays well: Nazmul, Nafis, Aftab.

I don't see any hope for the current team. I hope the new players start doing well so that in the next few years we have a core of good young players.

Even they are young, I am loosing my patience for the following players: Rajin and Ashraful.

Aftab can share couple of overs too

[blink]

honestly this is the strongest batting lineup in terms of potential we've seen for quite awhile...when was the last time we picked 6 genuine batsmen and followed that with 3 allrounders, i certainly cant remember, usually we stack the side with bowlers. All we need today is to get off to a good start - which is unlikely, and then we will post 200+

[bourny3]

I will be happy with BD getting over 150. And overly happy if they get 200

[Ibrahim]

I hope BD will get 200+ this time.

[rana]

only we can hope

[shaoun]

if nz bats first we have to get them out under 100 runs. or else we dont have any chance of winning. bc we all know bd team cant chase more then 100 runs.

well in our last match we had 5 bolers and the fifth boler was mahmud. and he was of no use. so there is no point of carrying him again. so it is better to take nafis.

[sunniath]

5th bowler is my concern too. i guess rajin and ashraful will share the slot and get hammered.on the other hand, it does not matter. regardless what NZ puts up, our batsmen wont be able to chase it or they wont be able to pile up a big score.most probably, the game will be over before we need a 5th bowler.

for once selectors made some damn sense...those bunch of [] retards

Reason: adjective

[Ahmed_B]

Here is an expectation about batting:

*I want the them to put an embargo on Boundaries & Strokeplays almost!!

Target
3 singles in every over on average!!
1 boundary (4) in every 5 overs!!!!!

-sounds very poor??
calculate the total then.. it sums up to become 190 in 50 overs!!

I'd rather prefer this irritatingly boring type of batting (to get 190) rather than playing entertaining shots n being bowled out for 112!!

i think the selectors were thinking of the same thing.

1-1-2?

where did u get that?

i see 86 on the last match. and this one gonna be even worse, adding the day night factor. we lost to canada playing daynight. probably, have not played another DN match ever since. just hope we do not create any world record of ANY sort at this match.

techinically, there are two sorts of world record, good and bad. given the current situation, good one impossible. so, just hope that no world record is made.

[obernell]

good team selection. rajin and ash would easily be able to share ten overs. they won't get hammered if they are used in the right time, somehow during the middle of the game, bashar has to squeeze in this ten overs. this is the first time bd is playing without any allrounders, i would say its a great initiative. i hope they can keep it up.....
:fan flag:

[billah]

To wake you guys up with a bite of reality, this is not a strong batting lineup at all. Our top order is non-existant, middle order is supported by bowlers & part timers. Nobody has a fixed place. Everything is in continuous flux.

I would have been comfortable if they had put in some of the no name hitters from the 20-20 corporate league. Any local cricketer with national credential can do at least as good as these idiots.

There should be punishment for being out irresponsibly. Enough is enough.

[obernell]

hang on dude, wait and see
