What about preparation thread: Post Match Reaction BD vs India?

[bharat]

Guys ..I am waiting for the match too ...Ofcourse I want to see broken hearts here (other than me ) .I will try to be with you guys (online) on that day .


SEE YOU THEN ...

[AsifTheManRahman]

i have a feeling that we will get bundled out for 160 or so if we bat first, and probably concede something in excess of 300 if we bowl, and it's no good predicting what will happen after as the game will be over by then.

U r probably right :(. SO we need to do what ever fun we can before the game...

reading this from the cricketweb forum made laugh pretty hard


Madman Manan Arrested after Attempted Assassination of Indian Pace Bowling Attack

A well known critic of the dire Indian seam bowling attack Manan Shah was today arrested after he attempted to wipe the bowlers out. Shah was earlier booted out of India's match against Bangladesh at Queens Park Oval after hurling constant abuse at the Indian Pace Barrage after they let the Tigers make a mammoth 2/424.

It is alleged that Shah pulled out an antique springfield rifle from under his shirt and attempted to gun down the bowlers, who incidently were only saved by his poor accuracy (how ironic), as they made their way out of the ground to hop on the team bus.

west indies grounds are very small...bounderies are very short... so making 300 for india is nothing....

Comming soon....;) :D

[kalpurush]

1+1=2.......now add it up...upto 300....
Not easy, right?!;) :-D

Side note: Aftab er kotha money porey?.....grounds becomes "bonsai" when he plays too!

[Aritro]

What I'd give to see us beat this lot.

[Spitfire_x86]

Side note: Aftab er kotha money porey?.....grounds becomes "bonsai" when he plays too!
The bad thing is most of the times he plays bonsai innings too.

[BangladeshFan]

only chance Bd has to upset Ind is if they can capitalise on their thin middle innings bowling. Khan and Munaf is a good opening ball attack. But they dont have much after that. Bd should ideally target to lose atmost 1 wicket by the end of 15 overs. having a strong middle order they can keep piling on after that. But they MUST NOT lose more wickets in the opening overs.if we can score enough runs, we can put them under pressure, besides it is the opening match , so nerves will be there.

But Bd probably has slightly more chance of upsetting Sl than Ind. if it becomes a do or die contest between Bd and Sl to get to next round, I think they will be nervous. And somehow Mr. Ash has his eid day (and tamim, aftab etc) we can very well send Srilanka packing.

[Kabir]

we can very well send Srilanka packing.

I would rather send India packing, but whatever it takes to ge to the second round, I'm up for that. We can think of SL later.

[Murad]

srilanka later..... first we have to beat INDIA by Any Costt

[Farhad]

Apparently, India's recent performances have turned a few heads....According to Ranatunga, 2 of the semifinalists will come from Group B.

That is very true...unfortunately.

Aftab's habit of going for quick blast and then departing is not changing.He is a vital player for our success and he need to control his innings.If we wanna beat India, Aftab must stay in the middle for 15-20 overs.

[FagunerAgun]

Mama mia,,,,a match thread is posted 16 days before the match!

Hoping for two BD centuries in one single ODI, may be against India.

[Duck]

May be a tone like a pessimist; but realistically BD still does not have the ability to defeat either SL or IND in this coming matches. Because this is not a 3-match home series in BD against any of these two teams. In a series like these we can take chances of their unpreparedness and pull off an upset.

Here it is a different ball game. They will be cautious and will not leave any of their guns untried! It would be just like the last Champions Trophy, when you count on BD for a win to capitalize for a ticket for the second round, BD cant shine!

However, I still pray that BD will not just glitter but shine and burn every opponent it faces!
