Match Thread: ICC WT20 1st Round: Bangladesh vs Netherlands, March 9th, 2016, Dharamsala(9:30 GMT, 3:30PM BDT, 4:30AM EST)

[Mauryan]

Al Amin was bowling short when there was no need. All he had to do was replicate Taskin. We didn't need wickets at that moment just not concede boundaries but he went for wickets by bowling short. It just feels frustrating because otherwise we could have won by 20 runs or so which can be labeled as convincing but this one was too close. Anyway I hope he has learnt from this match because we don't really have a replacement.

Al Amin should bowl his full quota in his opening spell. When mustafizur is back, him and Taskin bowl death. Mash middle overs. Taskin max 2 upfront unless defending a very low total

[One World]

I was able to watch from the point when Mushfiqur got bowled. This was a very tough game. In the end congratulation for winning against ~South Africa~~.

Few things:

1. When Mash came back to complete his spell I was not so hopeful but he just surprised me with the bounce and I knew we are looking forward to a cat and mouse affair. Respect to Mash for bowling like a CHAMP.

2. Tamim was like a superman today.

3. Mushfiqur cannot bat or keep. We basically played with 10 players.

4. 3 LBW decision went against us, the one for Shakib should have been given.

In a half acclimatized alien condition BD did very good against an opponent who were continuous in the place for couple of weeks already.

Captain Fantastic was brilliant with the ball. Good win. Dutch are not easy to play against.

LOved the way Taskin delivered those yorkers. This kid is maturing fast. Good to see

[Jadukor]

Al Amin is a very good death overs bowler and he has delivered more often than not. Death overs bowling is always a bit of a gamble and he did not bowl short..he bowled his slower ball which is a leg cutter.. on another day that will earn him a wicket. Can he bowl six yorkers in an over? No he probably cant, margin of error in yorkers is pretty slim..it could become a juicy half volley or a low full toss.. hence he went for the slower delivery. Our bowlers as a unit defended a below par score...the focus should be on batting.. the bowling is fine

Al Amin is the most expendable of this lineup. Most of his wickets have been cheap, yes there were some good ones. The bowling equivalemt of a inside egde for 4.

I'd rather see Haider as he has more upside. Al Amin ruined our NRR today, amd if a few lther bowlers were more expensive, we'd have lost. He was phenomenal up till the wc last year. But now we have far better in Mustafiz and Taskin, but also hes worse. At least one 6 ball per death over.

The coach need to work on the who should be playing and who is benching. Mushi for me not doing good need a break.

[Nadim]

Boys did well i feel. Never easy to cope with changing condition that too in less than 48 hours (dhaka to dharmashala). We will be more ready for Ireland and will beat them in sha allah.

[meazz1]

I a bit worried but ended well, it was a close one.

[Shingara]

Eto faltu khelsey jey kivabey harlo na shetai ami vujtasi na.
Netherlands er moto associate desher shathey Soumya, Shakib, Nasir, Riyad ar Mushfiq dabba marlo ken ? Tomra associate er shathey at least 30 runs each na kortey parley teamey aso keno ?
Amarey bat dhoraya dileyo ami Mushfiqer thekey beshi run kortey partam!

Soumya key drop kora hok, or form ekdom gesey. Polata noshto hoiya gelo Shakib ar Mushfiq - tomra Ashraful er kasey giya batting shikho!
Baba Tamim, tumi ki ajkey Horlicks beshi khiya felsila naki ? Oboshsho, tumi na run korley, amader score hoto ...70 ba 80 ?

Netherlands er wicket silo hatey tinta, ar run dorkar silo 7ta. A better team would have easily won this match.
Allah man-shomman bachaisey jey ajkey amra Netehrlands er kasey hari nai!
