jitte hobe. ar kichu buji na. complacency is strictly prohibited.

Test was the harder part. ODI should be better suited for us. Surprisingly, we still do not know how to approach T20.

We are good in ODI but poor in tests and T20. To me we are poor in both of this format cause we are poor in clean hitting.

I am hoping our batters will sensibly bat ... Top order and # 3 position contribution will be crucial and we still not consistent in those areas. I hope bowlers will also contribute same like they did in test. Isn't this wkt different than the Harare?

[ReZ_1]

we have the tendency to lose the first match, so need to concentrate on this one... forget about 3-0 for the time being, no need to put extra pressure on us

[Roey Haque]

I want Tamim to get double ton in this 1st ODI. He just has to reset his mind to thinking he is starting over from 0 every time he gets 50 runs, and he needs to do this 3 times.

Because, come on,with all due respect to Zim, they are not a powerhouse. We need to beat them spectacularly or our players need to achieve some kind of great record.

Looking forward to a Tamim 200.

Ya it's much different. Bulawayo track is more suited to our style. Slow, low and dead track which should assist our spinners and should be more comfortable for our batsmen compared to Harare.

We are gonna lose!

Roman is scared to lose his perfect record!

[shuziburo]

The team should forget about 3-0 for now. Take it one game at a time and it will be 3-0.

Of course not, those guys don't have the same strike rate as Tamim.

Think about it. You would bank on him to get a 200 before anyone else in the side.
This guy goes out to get 50s like it's a walk in the park. Just needs to reset that mind state 3 times.

[cricbook]

Bulawayo although zimbabwan ghati..... But pitch n outfield bangladeshi shanti..... Jemne khushi omne khao..... There 300 score not even safe...... So for tk, ash, sak, musy, nas .... Having golden chance ...

[mali007]

Bulawayo is a lucky ground for us ! We won 6 out of 8 ODI there .

[MHRAM]

there is no alternative but winning the series, and we need to win match by match.

In Shaa Allah, victory will be ours. Best of luck to zimbabwe, I hope you guys give a tough fight.

There is a reason why it has happened only twice in the history of ODIs!

What an idea

[cricbook]

every person of bd players should focus on making carrer best.... Batsman should score above 150 ... Bowlers 5 wkts hall... N the way they will get more n more confidence for their own ability.... Particullary... ash need to step up... Although hes getting wrong decision against him...n sak bring back him self..... Robiul try to be no.1 pacer for bd at this moment...

Thread-টা কেমন জানি মাথা আউলা-বাউলা করে দিছে। আশা করি এই ওয়ান-ডেতে বাংলাদেশ টিম-ও জিম্বাবুয়ের মাথা আউলা-বাউলা করে দিবে।

What happened to the count down clock for the first ODI?

It's better not to have that SOB around. Made me miss like 11 games over the years.
