Yeah would like to see him back. I think the wounded Tigers have a score to settle with him

True, we must win convincingly..This was a a below par performance

[stuge]

Hurrah .At last We won the match

Well played BD ,but in the last 20 overs they played poorly .First they missed the run-out of Dinesh Karthik,then they bowled poorly .

I'm not at all disappointed.We must realise now that BD can also compete at International level .

[Protic]

Inferno : no dude it was actually a very good performance from india..they were 144-5..with Dhoni struggling and a new man in..who hasnt played for a while.. lol what u think indian players are supermen? they will reach 250 in 20 overs? that would have been CONVINCING? Indians played well and they deserves the credit..bangladesh bowling line up is decent..fielding is good too.. its not easy to score 250 of 47 against them.

Poor Dhoni..i guess his fans are still not happy.. i mean so what if he won them the match..he should have had scored his 93 of 50 balls rather than of 110 balls or so.
LOL.

exactly. Ashoka was the main reason why india get away with the first ODI. India would have lost if this fob (Ashoka De Sila) could do his jobz properly. I think ICC should take action against such umpires. Who knows, he must have given out rupiiz for doing all these mischeives on the field. hahaha.. u can never trust indo-paki groups eh! They can even betray their own nations.. what;s so wrong with De Silva ;D we demand a proper investigatin

[arifur81]

I was following the score card since this morning bcos could not see the match, I think our spin attack did not work today i was disappointed with rafiq and razzaq i was expecting at least couple of maiden overs from them which would have made India's life much Moore harder, anyway there is always tomorrow. Good effort try bit harder next time GOODLUCK BANGLADESH for rest of the remaining matches.

Oh forgot to mention my MSN nick:

Yea...True we won against the mighty BD only because of the Umpire..India can never beat BD .One win and you think BD will beat India everytime..Come out of Wonderland...

[istiak]

Generally our bowlers and batsmen never performed well together. Almost all the matches we won (except one against Aus) bowlers did the trick. Today (my own account) our batsmen did pretty decent job but bowlers just failed. It was not their day. Abt umps? We know that guy, don't we?

Instead of his contineous batting failour. Habibul didn't make many mistake as a captain. People have to understand that Dhoni/Karthik just batted well. I hope with mash Bd will play better in next match.

But still todays performence is worthy to appriciate.

I don't really think one wrong desicion can cause u a match! They scored almost 100 runs after that incident and we failed to get any body out.

Just cheer up it was a good match!

Bruv umpires are human and humans are bound to make mistake so we should stop blaming an individual and concentrate to next match which is coming up.

[Aritro]

Absolutely pointless blaming the umpire. We still had 100 runs to play with after that, as Istiak highlighted.

Not that I agree we should just let it go, we had this match in the bag and I'm bloody furious we gave it away.

[krusty]

It was a great game played by both team and the better team at the end of the day won. The only thing we lacked today is the penetrating bowling attack, without Mashrafe our opening pair drops below average. I just hope Mashrafe gets back on 2nd ODI !

[Shumit]

why Bashar opted for Rasel to bowl the 46th over when Sakib
had 1 over left?

we need mash to win against india...i thnk

[allrounder]

funny, today there is no JO golla thread opened. No one is outraged to see JO playing for Bangladesh?? strange isn't it.

after losing 5 wickets before 150 runs, the pressure should have been created to get wickets or at least stop runs, but they happily gave them singles and 2 twos. That is not how to put pressure on opposition, but to stop them making runs, and force them to hit over the fielders to get runs. Unfortunately we just missed a golden opportunity to win this match.

First of all, congratulations to the Indian team for winning a difficult match. Dhoni played a classic innings, under difficult conditions and in physical pain, fully utilizing the help he received from de Silva.

No cricket nation can beat another test playing nation every time. (You will need to make an exception for Zimbabwe, off course. And, I don't mean that they will beat all other teams every time.) However, Bangladesh has made light years' worth of progress and can now win even if the other team does not play poorly. (This was not the case even a couple of years ago.) Bangladesh's biggest problem now is inconsistency. They can beat the world # 1, but can also lose to Ireland.

Three key factors contributed to today's loss:

• Captaincy. Just like against WI in the Super-8 match, when Bangladesh needed wickets, Habu Bashar went for defense. After the 5th wicket fell, he should have surrounded the batsmen and put pressure on them. Yes, that would have cost Bangladesh a few extra 4's, but if India lost another wicket, the pendulum would have heavily swung toward Bangladesh. Someone needs to teach HB that unless wickets fall, an asking rate of 6-7/over with 15 overs left is easy.

• Mashrafe. He is Bangladesh's #1 strike bowler. Case closed. If that is not enough, his absence also meant that Shahadat Hossain will bowl. We all know what that means.

• Someone mentioned that one bad decision does not decide a match. When one decision allows the batsman to score 80 more, it certainly affects the result. Everything is possible in cricket, but it would have been rather difficult for Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, and Powar to manufacture those 80 runs if the score was 149/6, instead of 149/5.

I don't think THIS Bangladesh will lose heart in the next 2 matches. Hopefully, HB will grow a brain and the umpires will not forget their glasses.

Dhoni probably performed well out of fear of Indian public resmashing his house once again

[Abd_Bakri]
