How can they compete if they worship the players. Shakib was saying in the press conference that he wants to spend time and learn from Daniel vettori because he has more variations from murali. How are you supposed to outplay a team with this mentality?

i agree with you here. there is no need to show friendship when you are an underdog. unfortunately, this is our culture, i do not blame shakib al hassan. we can not talk trash and get under another team's skin. we try to play the good guy role all the time. we need an aggressive captain, mashrafe will be a good one i think.

I don't think its not the top order that is the problem, Its both the lower and top orders performing togather is the problem!! Lower order performs because they realises top order hasnt done anything, and when top order performs lower order relaxes too much.

[Akib]

Well middle order as always there.... We really need to fix this top order... Not sure how..........


As for score, overall its not good. 180 in a ODI is quite bad.... But considering what posiiton we were in, we did well to get there. A few early wickets could put some pressure.

[tonoy]

183/8... hmm Game should last up to another 30 overs.

[Russell2k7]

The good news is that BM wont finish the game in 10 overs this time.

Now, now, being a well-wisher doesn't mean he can't be honest. It IS a good batting pitch, and our top order played like tripe.

[chol_bd123]

the ball did move alot in the beginning

[wiseshah]

guys we are having same batting scenario. can we do something diff in the next match

why not bringing shahadat as a night watchmen and ash at number 8, if he still plays

or juaned at opening

I don't think so

the only reason he scored that 80 off 24 balls or so in queenstown winning off 6 overs or something is because he wanted to go play golf. Dunedin isnt really that kind of place

Oh that golden hand of Rana, what a match that was. And then the frustration in Waqar's eyes.

Thank god. Was brutal to watch. I wish sometimes our batsman could just dominate like that.
