We all know that SA is a choker when it really matters, but is Bangladesh a choker, I think so. Of course our ability to perform is not on par with SA, the trend seems to be the same. SA always chokes in big tournaments when it really matters for them but for us, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comhttp://www.banglacricket.com/alochona/ /><st1:country-region w:st=<st1:place w:st=" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Bangladesh</st1:place></st1:country-region> choke when they play a match that counts as an International match.
Just take a look at the performance of our BCB 11in the 4 day and oneday match against SA, we played really well scoring 412 in the first inning of the match and 243 in the one dayer, now playing against the same SA team our national team suffers big losses and almost always look clueless. I know that SA is probably not giving their 100% in these practice matches but Bangladesh is not playing their national team either.
<st1:country-region w:st="[/IMG]<st1:place" Verdana?>So let’s compare apple for apple by using our U-19 teams. Last world cup we lost to ENG in the WC after beating them 6 times out of 7 we played right before the tournament. Same thing this year, we won the series in PAK by beating them 3-2 coming from behind then we beat SA in their own soil only to be bowled out by them for 41 in the WC, so what the hell is the problem, is it because we are CHOKERS?????
