What is your expectation from BD in the world cup?

[NoName]

First round exit, with Tamim underperforming as usual followed by his permanent retirement.

Retirement? You are giving too much credit to tamim drama queen

[Shehwar]

Semi Final at least

[Zeeshan]

Good luck Bangladesh!

This is what you are up against.



Aar amra T20 te kono rokom e 126 korlei lafa lafi arombo koree. And then there are the ones who completely surf on the IPL wave of insane hitting. Yeah keep dreaming we will win world cup with 50 off 30 types.

England EXALTS cricket to an art. 444, 481 and now this. This is how this sport was supposed to be played.

Timely thread and my timely return, I am too old nowadays to set expectations, hope we just play good and do better our team was decent ODI team but most of the team caught up so quickly.

Poor expectations; Should win against Netherlands. 50/50 against Afghanistan. Shouldt win against any other team.

Pathetic batting form and absolute no game sense among batsman which is the main reason. Even after playing so many games Shakib and especially Mushfiqur gets out at the wrong time and to poor deliveries. Shamim and Afif arent really good finishers.

Fielding is sub par. With a short wicket keeper like Mushifqur it has always been risky. On top of that he misses chances on a regular basis.

I think dropping Mustafizur will be a bold but good move. Taskin and Shoriful will be decent on these Indian pitches. Miraz still has poor control over the ball and drifting down leg or bowling short on a regular basis.

World T20 2022 - zero target. Still learning curve.

Asia Cup 2023 - zero target. Still experimenting and learning.

World Cup 2023 - Beating NED is the only realistic target for these guys.

[Shingara]

We seem to be regressing every year!

What expectations? Bhai amra toh notun dol. Dudh Bhaat.

[anon4567]

Makes me wonder, why do our players shine at an youth level and then once they make senior team they fail hard.

[anon4567]

T: Since the 2012 U-19 CWC, the same Babar Azam has made a name for himself in the list of all time greats, while Anamul Haque Bijoy's records are limited to domestic List-A cricket.

That is the reality of so many of our young cricketers.

FTFY-

Asia Cup 1997 - zero target. We're the new kids on the block.

World Cup 1999 - zero target. Learning curve.

Asia Cup 2000 - zero target. Still learning curve.

Champions Trophy 2002 - zero target. Still learning curve.

World Cup 2003 - zero target. Still learning curve.

World T20 2022 - zero target. Still learning curve.

World Cup 2023 - Beating NED is the only realistic target for these guys.

To quote the great Shakib Al-Hasan "We didn't come here to win the world cup".

[BookFinder]

These are the games I am looking forward to.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan 3rd Match, Dharamsala, October 07, 2023, ICC Cricket World Cup
Bangladesh vs Netherlands 28th Match Eden Gardens, October 28, 2023, ICC Cricket World Cup
Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka 38th Match (D/N), Delhi, November 06, 2023, ICC Cricket World Cup

[BookFinder]

Realistically top 6 finish would be good for BD. I know we want to be in Semis but it's just not realistic.

[Jadukor]

Two wins vs Afg and Ned. Anymore wins is a bonus

Or did Papon say it better? "Our target is never this world cup but the next world cup."

Let me guess, come next world cup he will say the same. This whole cricket team and cricket board are run by absolute clowns. Such inspirational quotes from leadership.

[iDumb]

i don't like this world cup format. I prefer the 2007 one. Takes out all the excitement of knowking someone out.

[tonoy]

Looking forward to Shakib closing in on being the top 3 run scorer in world cup of all time

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be ones to watch out too, Rohit scored a lot of runs in the last WC and is in good touch atm.

[iDumb]

Tanzid Tamim is gonna light up this world cup (specially against weaker opposition) and all these ppl crying for senior tamim will forget him in no time.

In the indian pitch, tamim jr and inform liton with shanto one down is a dangerous top 3.

I am excited for us. (not too excited about the seniors shak, mushfiq or mahmuddulah)

Based on the above stats, on average our batting will score 218.5 + random contributions from the tail.
