In last two years, in ODIs on subcontinent, Indian spinners (including part timers) took 129 wickets, while their seamers took 157 wickets -there is not really much scope to undermine either of their bowling departments!

post #73 is indeed an Amazing post. remember, 90% of the game is played in the mind.
so what if we lose toss, so what if they pile up a mammoth total, dew, snow, sun, rain so what? i mean if you don't have the winning attitude, you not gonna win, simple as that.
Strategy comes secondhand then...

That's a genuine concern. Hope our guys can tune in quickly before 19th

Siddons and co have to figure out how get Kohli out. This guy is dangerous. He's hitting 50s everywhere whenever he gets chance. He is the most consistent batsmen in the Indian team for last one year.

don't know how legit is this..but bdnews24 said few days ago that MASH would be in for the second match of the WC!
if Mash is fit for the second match...then he would be fit for the first match(im sure). However ...does that mean the bcb+ government doesnt want us to win against INDIA by sending a NON-MASH BD XI?
[how mash can be included I have no idea...and is another matter..im just pretending a fit on song mash ]

Ofcourse there's the 'dashing opener' who basically needs to pawn Zaheer khan once again.

There is a simple strategy.........
Go with the strongest possible bowling combo to stop their mighty batting attack as much as we can....... their bowling attacks weak, so nothing to worry there. Batsmen like Tamim, Mahmudullah, Mushfiq are experts against the Indian attack so no need to worry there.
However, the board might go with a stronger batting attack to even out with theirs, which will be inneffective, u just cant match with them......
So bowling is the keyy,
i want to see Shafiul, Rubel, Nazmul, Shakib, Razzaq, Naeem, Shuvo all together
than, Bring it on Indians@!

If we bat first, here is my batting strategy:
Get 120 runs from batsmen 1-4
Get 120 runs from batsmen 5-8
Get 25 runs from batsmen 9-11(realistically 9 & 10 should get 25 as Rubel can't get much)
One batsman from 1-4 must play a long innings
One batsman from 5-8 must play a long innings
No run out
265 against India or any team will be a good score to defend.

S Rajesh's Numbers Game very well illustrates how plays in last ten overs peg us back -
Teams with bat and ball in last ten overs of ODIs since Jan 2009 Team | Bat ave | Run rate | Bowl ave | Econ rate | Diff in ave | Diff in run rate | Australia | 24.53 | 7.44 | 17.90 | 6.96 | 6.63 | 0.48 | South Africa | 25.15 | 7.93 | 19.21 | 7.47 | 5.94 | 0.46 | West Indies | 18.42 | 7.64 | 21.94 | 7.21 | -3.52 | 0.43 | New Zealand | 21.36 | 7.14 | 19.42 | 6.83 | 1.94 | 0.31 | Zimbabwe | 23.07 | 7.34 | 22.21 | 7.15 | 0.86 | 0.19 | Pakistan | 18.35 | 7.06 | 24.53 | 6.96 | -6.18 | 0.10 | Sri Lanka | 21.14 | 7.04 | 25.40 | 6.96 | -4.26 | 0.08 | England | 17.97 | 7.17 | 20.31 | 7.16 | -2.34 | 0.01 | India | 26.72 | 7.26 | 21.87 | 7.60 | 4.85 | -0.34 | Bangladesh | 17.34 | 6.26 | 23.40 | 7.26 | -6.06 | -1.00 |

This is something we got to fix. We have been banking on the wrong duo (Riyad-Naeem) for acceleration in end overs, Siddons got to find a new pair there.

good piece by rajesh...we're pretty much the worst team out there. the fact that zimbabwe and NZ are better than us means that if Ireland and Netherlands stats were taken into account, they'd prolly be better than us too.
at the end of the day, wins are what we need no matter what. but we need to fix this problem. I will keep a close monitor on our last ten batting and bowling performances in the World Cup.

In order to solve the run rate issue during the final overs either Nayeem or Riyadh needs to play at #4. None of them (and the same goes for Alok) can hit straight away and needs some time to settle. The problem with roq is, he can survive some overs; but he is not able to capitalize on it. With the current set up, Shakib at #5 has to be under pressure and when he gets out the flow of runs stops. Both Nayeem and Riyadh get out trying to score quickly with no time to get set.

I think if we bat first, we have no chance. Cauz we don't know what will be a safe score to beat India's heavy batting line up which I think starts with Sehwag and ends with Vaggi, including Sachin, Yuvraj, Dhoni and so on. I personally think, Bangladesh should bowl first. Try to restrict them at a minimul total and then try to reach the target as their are not so much match winning bowler india have as their batting line up with all do respect that they are international bowler.
