I have no interest in this game and won't sacrifice any more sleep. But 2 hours before game, all the excitement and interest will rush in. I wish I was addicted to something else.

Good luck to The Tigers! We will win because we are Tigers!

[epitaph]

The loss (after 67/8 and and 113/2...still can't believe it) and team performance from the first ODI are still stinging badly. They're redeemable only if we win the series.

My preferred XI:

Shamsur
Anamul/Tamim - depending on Tamim's and Mushfiq's fitness levels
Mominul
Mushfiq - guess he has to play since he's the skipper
Sakib
Naeem - best performer from the last ODI series
Nasir
Gazi
Mashrafee
Sunny
Rubel/Al Amin

Rubel and Al Amin both did good. No room for mashrafee unless you want 3rd FB

If Musfiq cannot do WK, he need to take rest. No point bringing back an injured player too early. He is the main culprit why we failed to cross the target even when Momin and Shamus made it so eary target (RR wise as well as run wise). And even he plays, he shoudn't play at #4. He just wasted the game with dot balls after dot balls and maded a easy target harder at the end. He played like a TEST match.

I wuuldn't take any risk with Anmaul starting. With his footwork he will most likely fail again as an opener. If fully fit Rahim plays, Anamul is not needed. If Rahim doesn't play, only then Anamul can play and bat lower order when we may need quick runs.

Naeem, if selected, need to bat top of the order, i.e. #4.

I would drop Gazi and rather take Mashrafee and use Nasir for few remaining overs (if MAshrafee is not used for full 10 overs).

When fully fit, Mashrafee is still our best FB IMO (and he can bat a bit which is an added bonus). But if he isn't fully fit, it doesn't matter to me which two of Mashrafee, Rubel and Al Amin start.

I'm wary of making too many changes from one game to the next, but I agree, I also prefer Naeem at 4 and Mushfiq at 6 in the long run. 5th seems to be the best position for Sakib, so he should remain there. I don't rate Mushfiq as an ODI batsman. His average speaks for itself....Unless there's a positive trend and/or his average from the past three years is better at 30+. (Off-topic: He's decent as a captain IMO. His off-the-field captaincy is very good, on the field is OK at best. He needs to be less defensive, take more risks, and have the courage and be open to make decisions on the field that go against the strategy the team mgmt laid out for him. All in all, I think he's the best we can do regarding captaincy ATM.)

His SR was fine though in the last game since the RRR was only ~3. He only screwed up in the last ball with extremely poor shot selection when there was no need to hit out or take any risks. Out of all the missed catches and poor shot selections that resulted in outs, Mushfiq's pass to Sangakkara was arguably the worst IMO.

Nice Thread

Play cool

[imtiaz82]

The naturally talented loosers will loose again today.. I have never seen any sporting team loosing so many close games over such a long period of time.. From Multan to Fatullah to Mirpur, it's the same story over and over again.

[WarWolf]

Bismillah. Inshallah we will start winning from this match and only will stop after winning the T20 cup. Till then wins after wins in the card.

Think of the days when we had no expectation from the team of any sort of win. I definitely don't want to go back to those days.

Come on TIGERS! Time to beat up the lions.

I feel the same. I guess thats why bd is lucky to have cricket lover like us. No matter what, we dance before the game start, & cry after the game.

Multan, tri series against sri final, murali drama, asia cup, now this 67/8 team beat us... We r not only mentaly weak, we have attitude isshu & bolot brain. Dont use in a right time but do after.

[Jadukor]

I don't think we can get over the first ODI loss in this series. The momentum is now firmly with Sri Lanka and it is likely that they will bury us under a pile of runs in this game.

I will still watch in the hope that i am totally wrong.

We are gonna loose for sure.. If the team wasn't such a big choker our record would have quite good over the years, with test victories over full strength Pakistan and Australian side, Asia cup & Tri nation Champion to T20 tournament winner against No 1 ranked side. This in turn would have prevented the team from becoming the "minnows" and "laughing stock" of the rest of the world...

Even if Bangladesh wins this one day, it wouldn't really matter to me. Only if the team wins both the ODIs against Srilanka, take the Asia cup and become World T-20 Champion, would I change my opinion about these loosers..

[BD_TigerZ]

Going to lose. Not wasting any of my time.
