Even lowly Zimbabwe will have

Life tk.....

[RazabQ]

Tamim's life is another example of what happens if you try to go after the bowling. He played the shot fractionally early, ball hit the toe end of the bat and went much squarer than intended.

[Gowza]

tamim dropped, marshall hits another 2.

[cricbook]

I think they will hit around 20 ov left....

[Gowza]

make it count tamim

[Nadim]

Call it off. Give us fans some time to sleep

spot on. Let them play to their limits. If Tamim stays till the end let him decide when theres 10=15 overs left what course to take

And for our batters to gain some time in the middle.

no matter what you say we could have still started with taking singles and scoring 4 runs an over & if 2 wickets fell in quick succession then look for the draw.
We have the strongest lower order in the world, so what to fear?

By your same logic, Tamim got a life playing defensively for the lbw appeal Razabda. Ranjit is right: we have to show intent.

Well what prevent NZ for going aggressively in the 2nd innings and setting us a target with enough time to bowl us out. Get out of the insecurity mindset man. Kiwis played it safe ever since we took the lead. And if we had set such a target, Kiwis would have played just like us.

[Zeeshan]

Charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gowza]

4 runs tamim

That's the difference beween us and the big teams. Let's take the NZ declaration for example. Would a BD captain show the courage to do that? No chance in blue hell.

[Nasif]

Picking up speed
Bangladesh RR 3.14
Last 10 ovs 40/1 RR 4.00
Min overs remaining 25.0

[Gowza]

and another!

[Abid_Khan]

I dont need to justify my opinion to you. I disagree with your point of view so lets leave it at that.

Marechal is poor at finding gaps which Sohel bhai mentioned before.
