[adamnsu]

However I feel todays match was spoilt by Shakibs irresponsible batting....however he is the best among the worst of the players

[al Furqaan]

Its still a one boundary per over game

[adamnsu]

Maalinger has the last laugh

[Hasan2k8]

disappointed for mushy could have gotten a ton there needed to take single on the last ball rather than hitting that in the air!

[Hasan2k8]

Rubel with a 6 LOL then a solid defence. Learn SHAKIB!!!

[BD Tigers]

so what will be the excuse Shakib, Nasir, Mash will give us today?

Rubel showing the batsmen how to hit this Shenananananaanana...

[BD_TigerZ]

Shamsur "need to fix errors from first game"

Duplicates bijoys dismisall from the first odi again in the first over

[shuziburo]

Just when you think it cannot get any worse, it does.

Heck I wouldn't even mind that strict Zimbabwe interim coach..these clowns will learn the hard way.

[Hasan2k8]

was in the game, in the driving seat until our shupaarstaars decided to gift wickets away.

Maybe, better to get your poor for with the bat now out of the way now, with Asia cup and world t20 coming? we will know in time.

See you all next time. KhudaHafizzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Doesn't matter who you bring back anymore. Some of these guys think they are bigger than the team and they won't be dropped because there are no replacements, unfortunately.

[Alvi]

It is so frustrating to be a fan of this team. Knowing that a win was there, but these professional cricketers lack the sense that anyone else would have. I honestly rate our players better than SL at the moment when it comes purely to ability in ODIs (apart from Sangakkara and Malinga). Unfortunately, they lack any common sense, and play like little kids.

[One World]

Decent effort, opponent century and half-century, opponent make near 300, we have one half-century, few bowling successes, usual fielding boldami, a decent 200+ score, shommanjonok porajoy, back to 04-05 .........aar ki chai tai na,

Valo tho

I am not sure what are you trying to say.
How do you rate our player better than SL? They have the temperament to play an ODI like an ODI, not like our boys who think ODI can be played in the same manner as tests or T20.
And these boys are lacking the mentality to play cricket, so bringing a world class coach will do jack for them!

I signed my petition to strip them of tests and ban from ODI for 2 years. Screw it, this a pathetic showing.

What I mean to say is that our problem is not that we lack the talent to win, but the temperament like you said. We have seen them play well when they were motivated, but that wasn't there. I think the problem is the lack of a truly senior player or figure to guide these kids who are getting too cocky with their local fame. In all honesty, I don't think the players respect the coach, because his cricketing career has been shorter than theirs.

[mufi_02]

SL players are much better than ours in ODIs. They have played well and all credits to them. Dilshan, Sanga are proven players. Malinga and Kula are 1000 times better than our fast bowlers. Senanyeke is much better than Gazi. Mathews is a very good limited over players. Mendis is a very good spinner. I don't see how we are better than them.

[Shehwar]

After the first ODI this defeat didn't even hurt. Very sad. I almost didn't care about this match and don't about the 3rd ODI either. I just want the Asia Cup to start! This has been a horribly unlucky series for us.

[Moh899]

from fb.

I cant believe Im saying this but, wish you were out there playing bro.

[Shehwar]

And with that Mohammad Ashraful The Enigma makes the predictable return back to BC!!

Ha ha, good one.

I would have prefer that too, but they got more than what was expected of them.

[BangaliMessi]

From tests even in ODIs it is evident that what we lack is not talent. It is application and big match temperament.
