Losing to Srilanka at home - Who will get the chop?

[MHRAM]

We lost the tri-series

We are losing the test series too no doubt

Zimbabwe went to Lanka and competed well in Lanka, test and ODIs. We were absolute trash and don't give excuse of Shakib. Shakib wouldn't make a big difference

I think some people have to go. Maybe we finally need to get a proper head coach and kick out SABBIR from the test team. Also, who are the morons who keep picking Sabbir

[NoName]

I thought this team was 'peaking'.

[Night_wolf]

We went to lanka and competed well there as well. Whos idea was to prepare a rank turner for SL? I was saying before that rank turner or a bowling pitch vs SL will be digging our own grave

we should have looked at the colombo test and prepared a wicket like that.

[al Furqaan]

Selectors should be fired. Our tail is already the worst in international cricket. #9-11 are absolute crap. Thats OK especially in longer version if the top order does its job.

But the top order is full of deadweights like Riyad and Sabbir. Why is Riyad the VC?

All in all this lose should do us a lot of good. Especially to lose in this fashion.

Our batsmen can't bat on rank turners unlike our desi neighbors. Lord knows what sort of pitches these guys are playing on in our domestics.

Sujon is waste of space and needs to be terminated.

Firing Curator is a safe bet.


But I would like to know who was the smart a$$ who proposed and got his wish replacing Mossadek with Sabbir. The way they are playing, it wouldn't make much deference if Sabbir or Mossadek plays, but we need to recognize that genius.

I bet it was Sujons idea to play Sabbir instead of Mossadekk who is a much better player of spin and has much superior patience to bat longer.

I might be wrong but got a feeling Sujon thought. “Sabbir scores quickly and we need quick runs low down”. Dude its a freaking test match. If you want quick scoring Mullah, can do that, Taijuls, Miraz can add quick runs.
Why the fascination for quick runs ona minefield of a wicket?

I must add, that Sri Lanka and this one are completely different.

This one will become a force in world cricket again, the coach has turned things around for them.

As for who gets the axe after this? I think alarm bells should start ringing in BCB. Selectors, certain players should be carefully evaluated.

Mahmud should not be anything more than a team manager.

We are only 5 days away from the 8 year anniversary of Riyad's only Test century. #captain #legend #dulabhai #willnevergetthechop

SL is not that bad a test team. They just whitewash Pak in their fortress UAE. OP needs to relax.

[Habib]

Sujon needs the chop first and foremost. Then others. The management is non existent. Read this:

No doubt SL are better test side than you think. They did beat Pakistan in uae test series something no other team ever has.

But at sl bd drew odi and test. At home expected to win one of them..

Maybe T20s!

Without Shakib no one expected us to win surely?

We should try winning without Shakib, once in a while.

If Shakib played our chances of winning would go from 30 percent to 40 percent

One person can only do so much.

We used to make enough runs consistently in such wickets. Looks like we forgot how to bat in slow turners. Iceman cannot make all the runs for you.

It was unfortunate that our 3 key run getters - Tamim Mini Mushy got out because of the pressure they created themselves otherwise we could easily have crossed 250

We have batted on similar wickets and we have scored runs too. But our team looks out of sorts.

We have a slogger in our side who averages less than Miraz!

যে দেশের জাতীয় দল জুনিয়ার ক্রিকেটার দের তৈরীর মঞ্চ, সে দল থেকে সফলতা আশা করা উচিৎ নয়। জুনিয়র রা বিভিন্ন প্রতিযোগিতা মূলক ম্যাচে হাজার হাজার রান করে অথবা শত শত উইকেট নিয়ে আসবে জাতীয় দলে, এটাই কি ক্রিকেটের চিরাচরিত নিয়ম নয়? কিন্তু আমাদের দেশে কখনোই তা হয়না। একের পর এক জুনিয়র দের ক্রিকেটের সর্বোচ্চ মঞ্চে খেলার জন্য তৈরী না করেই সুযোগ দেওয়া হয়। তারপর তারা দিনের পর দিন সেই সর্বোচ্চ মঞ্চে ব্যার্থ হতে হতে এক সময় সফল হয়। কিন্তু ততদিনে তাদের রোদে মেঘে বেলা গড়িয়ে যায় অনেক। বয়সের ভারে অনেকেই ঝড়ে যায়, তাদের সাথে আবার আগের নিয়েমে যোগ হয় কিছু নতুন তরুন! এ ভাবেই চলে আমাদের জাতীয় ক্রিকেট দল। এর ফলে একজন সাকিব তামিম তৈরী হবার বহু বহু পর আবার নতুন কোন সাকিব তামিম তৈরী হয়! আর তখন তাদের সাথে থাকে নতুন কিছু তরুন! ফলাফল দীর্ঘদিন ধরে তৈরী সাকিব তামিম রা ব্যার্থ হলে দল ভেঙ্গে পরে মুড়ি মুরকির মত! এ দেশের টেস্ট স্কোয়াডে একজন ক্রিকেটার আছে, যে ব্যাক্তিগত জীনে মাত্র ৪টা লিস্ট এ ম্যাচ খেলেছে, নেই কোন শত অর্ধশত, নে কোন ৩ বা ৫ উইকেট! কত হাস্যকর না? কেন, স্কোয়াডে কোন সিনিয়র পরিক্ষিত ক্রিকেটার রেখে এসব জুনিয়র দের কে উচ্চতর প্রশিক্ষনের মাধ্যমে কি আরো বেশী পোক্ত করা যায়না? তাদের পোক্ত করার জন্য কি জাতীয় দলই অবশ্যক?

Well, Bd deserves to lose, because they keep picking charlatans like Mooshfeeqoor. Bd can begin fresh without that idiot, having their sins cleansed. Or they can continue with their nefarious ways and be scorned further by the all mighty.

U r obsessed with mushfiq. He is by far the best test batsman. Find your focus on something else.
