I have a good feeling about the 3rd ODI

[Miraz]

I think we are going to win the ODI series against a major nation for the first time. Chittagong pitch will be equally unknown to the Kiwis and they don't have enough time to acclimatize.

Tigers should bounce back from today's diaplay and Siddons is quite optimistic about the outcome of the next match. I hope Tamim will resturn to his best on his home soil.

We are going to create history.

[Akib]

I hope so, although i dunno how different the ctg pitch is from the dhaka pitch.

[Pundit]

Though the odds are stacked against this historically losing team, I will have to agree. I feel good too.

The players must be really mad by now, kicking themselves - and that should motivate them to come out with aggression.

Key players -

tamim
ashraful
mashrafee

[Pundit]

dye NZ , dye

[simon]

But I think Chttggng pitch is good for btsmn.
Anyway,the good thing is that we got both Rasel & Mash back, Ash & Junaid in rythm.
We just need contribution from TI,Saqib.
We also need to get Oram injured some how.

Mashallah, If your words come true I will come to your place and thank you personally. Then we are going to have a party any other BC member in UK is welcome.

[rattlehead]

chittagong pitch is a batsman's paradise. ryder will feast on shahadat.
dhaka pitches were our genuine chances to win. batsman struggle on that pitch for its uniqueness and extreme low ness. thats always been the pitch we've pushed the big teams to bring out their maximum game to compete with us.
NZ team's wins relies on their batsman, and im afraid they'll post a total we cant reach.

yes, also here is one thing. Mash and Razzak were unknown to them, [even tho they played them before, but not @ SBNS] and mash and raj, caused NZ trouble on 1st ODI. they went home studied Mash and Raj, thats why Mash got only one wicket, even though they couldnt take mash on. but they did take on raj on 2nd ODI
and they didnt know Rasel either, b/c he only bowled 2 overs on the 1st ODI. and thats why they never felt they should study him, and may have read BF's post, and was like eh he is a slow bowler. and Rasel fired on the 2nd ODI.

and for Rajib....sigh

so they gona come hard at Rasel and Mash too, and obviously Rajib. so we should let Alam play in place of Rajb...

remember when BD 1st won vs India in Dhaka on 2nd ODI? they had a chance of winning the 1st ODI in Chit. it was soo close game. and if they had won the 1st one series would have be ours. but we couldnt. India came hard on 3rd one. and so will NZ..... =(

[cricman]

If you win the Toss you have to Bowl in Chittagong. That Mourning Dew helps the New Ball Bowlers Greatly. Mashrafe and Rasel have exploited that before. Batting does get a bit eaiser after that but restrict them with in 250 on this pitch and we'll have a great chance of Victory.

Tamim Does better when he's at Chittagong, So I expect us to get off to a good Start.

But Win the Toss and Bowl!

[uss01]

From what I recall Chitagong pitch is a batting pitch. Hopefully Ashraful won't field first and BD will have to end up chasing 300+. That's what happened when Sri Lanka was here in 2006.

[MohammedC]

This was in Chittagong last year very first ball of test match

They were 18/2 after 10 overs ... Pilot Dropped Mahela and than at the Slog overs, Mashrafe was taken to the cleaners His last 4 overs when for 50 runs and Tapash was also bowling

[knocked_up]

i can watch that vid. allll day long!!

[ZeeshanM]

if we lose the toss, which we may very well...we cant expect 3 in a row favor of dice, and if we are put to bat first, we should implement the same methods as the one against india in kitply cup where we scored 270+. of course we dont have kapali to do it for us, but tamim needs to cool down his aggression for his own and his teams sakes. i can put money on the fact, that regardless of pitch conidtion nz will make us bat first this time if we lose the toss....

shobai jodi thanda mathay na khele, tayle upai nai....

cuz this series win may give us an upward spiral of success....

that was in asia cup
and have you noticed? most of the time tamim starts with a 4, around...what you call that area....mid on and mid wicket, or on the leg side extra cover. in test or in ODI

and yes NZ might just put us to bat 1st

[ZeeshanM]

thanks k_u i stand corrected...i was too lazy to open up another browser and check the stats... how much did we score anyways? i believe that's the highest against any G8 country

[al Furqaan]

i too believe we will win.

as far as i know...hiest vs India....

[AsifTheManRahman]

The surfaces in Chittagong are indeed flatter, which will make it harder if not impossible for us to win.

[sunnyctg]

my bet is on nz

[sbsash]

We have to get Junaid,Tamim,Sakib,Ash and Mushfiq a little.Mash,Naeem,Rasel and Razzak has to bowl well.

[Niceman70]

Finally, a optmistic thread.I agree with Miraz bhai..BD will win the series. This team is much more stronger than ever. I also have good feeling that this team will win matches regularly.

[cricket_dorshok]

difficult in the flat track!
Hope for the best.

[bangladesh_sy]

very much possible..boys keep ur eyes on the prize...

[uss01]

Yeah mash has a bad habit of getting hammered in the slog overs. And so does Shahadat. So I'm not to comfortable about fielding first in a batting pitch like Chittagong.

Nahh...in that match we scored 283.

The Pakistan tour before that saw us reach our highest against a high-ranked nation...285 chasing 309 on a flat pitch at Lahore.

[knocked_up]

i said hi2st VS INDIA ^^^

[One World]

Not so optimistic.

[ehteshamul]

The Tigers must go all out to win the third one dayer and the series .

They have put on a superlative performance in the first one dayer.

Second One dayer – the bowlers did an awesome job restricting a formidable opponent like Newzealand for the second time under 220 which in itself is no mean achievement .
.
It is great feeling and relief to BD cricket that Rasel playing after a long lay off has rediscovered his form and wicket taking abilities when it mattered most.

It is unfortunate our batsman failed to deliver the goods and a golden opportunity of a second consecutive win was lost

The batsman have to pull up their socks and do a repeat performance of first One dayer.

Tamim and Saqib must fire on all cylinders in the third One Dayer and the team must have an aggressive RR right from the beginning , maintained and accelerated in the crunch overs .

I may dare say we really missed Aftab - one of the few talented batsman of BD in the One day version and Raqibul Mr dependable (still recovering).

I predict a 50 50 chances in the third one dayer either way.

With self belief now ingrained in their minds who knows the Tigers may pull a repeat performance of first One dayer and seal the series.

May God the Almighty help us to achieve Victory and Pride.

Sakib sucksssssssssssssss n Tamim overtaed as most of bd players

I see your favourite player is Shahriar Nafees. The reasons behind your comments make sense now. Fellas...this here is Nafees.

thanks miraz vai. ajkal lokjon match er age shudhu bole .."i have a bad feeling". apnar kotha shune ektu refreshed holam.

i think tamim would do well on tuesday. three bad innings in a row is not what we expect from our in form batsman before the series.

another thing that miraz vai missed is that in chittagong the humidity and hence the players' discomfort ( specially NZ players ) would be much more than it was in dhaka. also the pitch is a bit more batting friendly than dhaka. And i don't think morning freshness would keep the chittaging pitch bowlers' friendly for too long a period, as was the case in the first odi in dhaka. one plan can be, given that we win the toss, to bat first, pile up runs as much as we can, while making the NZ players lack-of-match-fitness-and-acclimatization causing their knees to be tired and then after hopefully a reasonably good opening spell by mash and rasel, to unlease the spin trio ( sakib, razzak and naeem). although the megative point the plan is that i don't know how well the batsman would implement it.

my feeling is that either we lose too badly in the match or we win. hope the latter would happen. if it is a close match , i think the boys would not let it go. best of luck bangladesh.

thank you so much. I don't understand why we have to create an atmosphere where only negative is being fed. As we all know pessimism only feeds negative thinking and makes things more worst because it takes away all the thinking power of a person. Even in the BC we should maintain healthy positive atmosphere regardless of the results. We have many hardcore BD cricket lovers and i believe, it will help them. For me, i don't want to feel bad for what is yet to come so I'm optimistic and i support who are optimistic. It matters how do you see the glass: Half full or Half empty?

[Antora]

I have a good feeling about this match aswell. Tamim should be able to click on his home ground ( I'm soo happy no one has opened a "drop Tamim " thread.. knowing us FAnz I thought there would be like 50 of them by now :P) and Mash seems to be on fire at the moment.

YUP hoping for a win!!!

I remember that. I had just turned on the tv, and was surprised there was a game even on. Good stuff there (just that moment, not afterwards).

Anyways, if tamim can get back into gear, we should do fine. Our bowling has been tight. Hopefully they don't fall apart today. Getting mccullum and others early on has been key and this must continue. As for our batting, Im sure they can chase 200, but they do need to work on rotating the strike, and not getting too slow (wish they'd do that in the tests).
