he has a grade 3 tear in his shoulder..bowling is out of question in this series..he might not even bowl in the WC..which can be big down for us

RBX replaces Rahi against the Irish then?

Decent win but wish we didn't keep throwing wickets away. Should've won this in a canter.

These slow pitches always suit us, but a fast bouncy one, and most decent pace lineups will rip through us.

Exactly what might happen in next match.

[Tigers_eye]

Well done boys. We are in the finals now.

[adamnsu]

Allhamdullilah well done.

Sarkar going good but not tested against spin and bouncers.

Tamim probably thought more batting to come so just go for it. But the attitude was wrong.

Mithun had a good number of lives. He did a really idiotic thing and got himself nearly runnout.

Shakib was okish.

Fizz is hitting form again

[LateCut]

Bangladesh should have lost this gave against any decent fielding team if everything else remained same. Half a dozen chances spilled by WI any self-respecting team wouldn't drop that many. I also cannot fathom the the urge to be cute when the target is in the insight. Mushy's lap shot was premeditated and could have costs us in tighter games. Remember the loss against India?

Lower middle order would have won the game then , some of those catches were not dollies either. Cannot say BD would have lost that game just because of those , also see our bowling performance

I agree Bangladesh would have won as the bowling was decent and the batting was deep.

Although they would have struggled if the opposition fielding was better.

I think rotation of strike was ok but could be better

[LateCut]

Was the pitch slow and low? I couldn't tell from the clips I have watched. Seemed like it had decent carry? BTW, should we not give Taskin a chance? We need to give chance to players who haven't had a game.

[ToBeFair]

On a pitch like this, Bangladesh is a beast in ODI format. If we play on similar pitch, we will be favorite against NZ, PAK, SL, and AFG in WC.

Our weakness in ODI is our inability compete in high scoring pitches. Our batsmen still need few overs to get used to before they start scoring. You cannot afford that in a high scoring pitch.

Recently Ireland has scored 350+ against WI. Pak has scored 350+ against England. But even on a road and on their day against a weak opponent, BD is very unlikely to cross 325.

That is why our chance to reach semis in the WC depends on tight bowling and disciplined ground fielding. If we execute our bowling and fielding well, we will win a few matches with our 250-280s.

yasir ali
sabbir
farhad reza
mashrafi
rubel
taskin
abu jayed

mustafiz, shakib, soumya, miraz, mahmudulah, mushfiq should be rested

I really want to see Yasir getting a chance. Didn't like the bowling of Abu Jayed. Hope Rubel gets a chance.

[Tigers_eye]

I am worried about our inability to take wickets in the 1st 10 overs consistently. With the batting paradise and attacking openers we will face, it is a real concern.

Thats basically a concern for every team in this WC and not just us

BD is looking in unstoppable form here. Could BD make it into the semis / finals of the upcoming World Cup?

Unlikely. We played WI-B team and an aging Irish team. For what its worth, it a good outing and creates competition in the opening position and fast bowling options.

Didn't this Irish team just win a series Vs Afghanistan in India ?

And WI drew Vs England , full team or not they have a full bowling attack in Ireland and made some world record scores Vs Ireland but couldn't score 275+ even Vs BD bowling so far let's give the BD team some credit.

[Fazal]

So the other quota boy also did good today.

With all due respect, WI and IRE are not the best opponents for testing.
This WC will be hugely dominated by batsmen. I think there are a few problems with our batting:
1) Too many dot balls. Not rotating strike enough, especially in first 10 overs.
2) Not having the habit/ mental aptitude of scoring 300+ runs regularly. Most of the pitches will have a par score of 350.
3) Not enough good slog-hitters at the end. We'll need to put at least 100 in last 10 overs.
