Why Zia did not get a single over? What kind of captaincy is this?

[revolver]

Pathetic looser to its finest. Kick him off from every form of cricket

Nostrilamus Rex ...

[roman]

Raj and Shafiul. These 2 should never play for bd again

[PaperTiger]

Well what can you do?
Much better performance from Bangladesh.
We almost had it.

Bottom line: still a game yet to be won against Pakistan fair and square.

[Eclipse]

Ths is the worst bowling line up we have ever had in our cricketing history. We badly need a good pace bowling coach.

On the contrary a win was exactly what we needed at this moment. Forget the bonus point. It looks like we forgot how to win a match. A win could bring the belief of winning in the team.

[simon]

I dont think I will live and see BD beating Pak.

Just another match where we won hearts,respect bt not the match.

We need to get used to it.

These boys need more spanking. One spanking by BCB after loss to AFG, they came back and performed much better, more spanking better results.

[Eshen]

You can't win a match with such poor fielding. Looks like it's time for SJ to go. We need a coach who will make the players work hard to improve on all aspects of their game.

[taklima_naj]

Oh what has Razzak done to have so much respect from Mushi

[taklima_naj]

Jias bowling would work against afridi

[Eclipse]

This is the worst bowling line up we have ever had in our cricketing history. These days we r doing good with the bat quite frequently. But in most of the matches we r giving the advantages right back to the opposition from the very fast over. Ya thanks to our pathetic fast bowlers. A bunch of morons.

[Alvi]

We should have dropped rehman :P

[Hasan2k8]

I dont know what to say.


So close again... Well batted BD lots of positives. But, the bowling was shocking especially from Shafiul and Razzak. Razzak has been very very disappointing whole Asia cup not just this match.

[RazabQ]

Sad to say but this might be the last we see of a great ODI player for us: Abdur Razzak. He just doesn't have zip and skid of his deliveries any more and his age (he's surely older than the official 33) is starting to catch up with him. He was always a liability on the field too. All these should not tarnish the many memorable games he has played or some of the fabulous wickets he's taken. His T20 record and economy was none to shabby as well. His time is gone and one of Arafat Sunny or any of our slew of SLA dart throwers will replace him. I can't give much about the Afridi slogathon except that perhaps Zia could/should have been used. Also look at the Strike Rates of our two openers. Low to mid 70s. I went and read the ball by ball commentary and the dot ball percentage was still way too high. Especially for Imrul who continues to show why he's backup opener.

At the end of the day, Pakistan has more power/match-winners than i do and when any one of them clicks no one can beat 'em.

Totally agree with Razzak..his contributions for BD ODI team was never acknowledged that much in the past and now he is on his way to lose any respect he had. He needs to call it quits

But i doubt he'll do that, he isn't smart(no bd player is) enough to go by himself with dignity

It's gone past the point where it makes sense to type analysis/ feedback/ criticism. Our cricket team just sucks and we as fans have to live with it.

In fact I think the game for us should be, in how many possible ways can BD team loose a match from winning situation.. We have all kind of records in this area; starting from last wicket record partnership to unbelievable batting collapse to super hitting by opposition.

[BanCricFan]

Shakib should have been the Man of the Match!!

44 with a SR of 275 !!
10 overs 1 wicket with econ under 5.5
1 crucial run out

Afridi played a great knock but Shakib had an outstanding game.

[Hasan2k8]

Knew it would be high scoring TBH the start we had maybe we were 20runs.

Always fancied defending 300 plus against Pak, but when Afridi plays like that then there's not much you can do.It was Afridi who took the game away.

ON THE 48th razzak conceded two 6's I think it was 33 off 18 that stage after afridi got run out, that 48th over was a PATHETIC sunday league cricket bowling effort. That over could have swunng the match in our favour but wasnt to be .
I was telling myself and wishing if BD can leave least 10+ to defend off the last over and Ala Amin could to it; because I thought Al Amin was bowling superbly to Afridi (the over Shakib run Afridi out) under such immense pressure - hats off to the youngster Al-Amin.

This is really harsh, bro. Yes, everyone is hurt but when you lose a game like this you must accept it sportingly. And, also, give credit to the opposition. Pak were fantastic in their approach, gameplan and execution. Still we could have won it, though. Just an absolute all time cricket classic!

But, what a turn around by the BD boys after the Afg debacle!

[mij]

ok, F******* selector maybe not f******* razaak

Another Shommanjonok Porajoy

I sometimes feel the same, Bro. They are such a kufa side to play against; look at the last 3 -5 meetings between the two we should have won many- 3 I'd say. Maybe some them doing some tabeez/kaala jaadu spells on us?

[Zunaid]

At least while playing in Bangladesh, they feel they have home field advantage with all the khanchotes going gaga over them.
