20 questions to understand each other better:

[Raynman]

With all the topics flying around the board, I thought it would be fun to see if there is any pattern of how people feel when it comes to the different topics. For example, does those that hate the ICLers support Ash and think he should be captain (just an example, I don’t know if its true or not). So here are the questions, post your answers and lets find out:

1. Dhaka Warriors while in ICL : Did you support them, root against them or didn’t care
2. ICLer coming back to National team: All for it, Yes but apologies are in order, Never
3. ICL players : Traitors, Professional Athletes making a business decision, Don’t care
4. Captaincy : Ash, Mash or Sakib
5. SN : Strong asset and captaincy material, Could be useful, Had his chance
6. Alok : Proved his worth in ICL, let him prove it again, Had his chance
7. Pakistan : Support them as muslim country, support them because I like the team, just another country/team, Hate them because they are arrogant, can’t get beyond 1971
8. India: Hate them because they think they are better than us, Like them because they helped with our independence, don’t like them because I like Pakistan, just another country/team
9. WC 2011 & PCB: PCB can host in UAE if it chooses, WC should stay in subcontinent
10. Ash : Detrimental to the team, Necessity for the team, Just another player
11. Sakib : Future captain, As long as he is on top of his game keep the added responsibility away
12. Mash : Going through a bad spell, weak and lacking confidence, lionheart
13. Choice of format : Test, ODI, T20
14. Test: Boring, Real Cricket, Needs modernization
15. T20 : Hit or miss, a viable format in its own, Bad for cricket, don’t care
16. IPL : Hurting cricket, good for cricket, doesn’t matter
17. Mushy : right choice, liability as a wicket keeper, no better options available
18. BD Test Status : ICC should revoke, We should surrender, Keep things as is, We belong with the other 8 just haven’t proven it yet
19. BCB : It’s a sub continent board what do you expect?, doing the best they can, room for improvement, destined to be failures
20. Support : Besides Bangladesh which is the other team/country you follow-support or used to with a passion before Bangladesh became more engaged in International games : AUS, NZ, SA, IND, PAK, SL, ENG, ZIM, WI

3. ICL players : Uses professionalism to hide their greed for money.
4. Captaincy : Mashrafe bin Mortaza
5. SN : Will always remain a traitor and a liar in my book.
6. Alok : I still have doubts on his ability. After all he was afraid to make his comeback from ICL thinking he couldn't make it to the national side without some favor from the selectors.
7. Pakistan : I always support an underdog. So, if they are the underdog playing against any nation except BD, i support them.
8. India: I do not like them at all, and I do not hide it.

20. Support : It depends on many factors. Usually support underdogs, but things can change. Like in this T20 WC final, I was about to support Pakistan, but my PAK friends in facebook showed so much arrogance that I supported SL.

[Beamer]

Gopal da rocks..

[Tigers_eye]

I know I need extra credit to pass. So,

21. Coaching: Since his players are not disciplined (that is his inability to control them) he needs to go. Boundaries weren't set right in the beginning. Even after seeing the abnormalities (unprofessionalism) boundaries weren't set right. Why? It is a directly proportionate to our success.

Jenkins (i know he refused in the past but then he took Chargers job), or Observer. They would need "Jali beth" from modhupur. I would sponsor as many as they need. On me.

[RazabQ]

1. Dhaka Warriors while in ICL : Did you support them, root against them or didn’t care

<li>Supported them but only casually. As in check the scores and if someone posted highlights, I watched

2. ICLer coming back to National team: All for it, Yes but apologies are in order, Never

<li>Apologize, play domestic, compete for spots

3. ICL players : Traitors, Professional Athletes making a business decision, Don’t care

<li>Professional athletes makin money. Shoulda kept their mouths shut though.

4. Captaincy : Ash, Mash or Sakib

<li>Ash. Ash was just starting to get the hang of captaincy and he would have thus been able to focus on his batting. Mash blows too hot and cold to be a skipper. Shakib has a lot on his plate and lately the press-clippings may have been getting to his head (6000 # curry, getting out the same way 5 times in a row)

5. SN : Strong asset and captaincy material, Could be useful, Had his chance

<li>Could be useful. Minnow or not, no BD batsman has replicated his run of consistency of those halcyon days. He's the kind of guy who'd thrive in the middle overs of a test innings after the ball's gotten old and spinners and medium pacers are in play.

6. Alok : Proved his worth in ICL, let him prove it again, Had his chance

<li>Let him prove he wants it in domestics. He only resigned from ICL because he was forced to

7. Pakistan : Support them as muslim country, support them because I like the team, just another country/team, Hate them because they are arrogant, can’t get beyond 1971

<li>I don't get the people who can't get over 1971. People, look at Pakistan now and look at us. To quote Malcolm X, the chicken has come to roost for them in terms of indiscriminate violence towards civilians. We have won the war in more ways than one! I rooted for Pakistan growing up because let's face it - they had Imran & Akram and India had Kapil "Boost iz da sikrit of my anargee" Dev. They were the Brazils of cricket. And BD wasn't a test nation. Now, I'm somewhat meh - just another country/team

8. India: Hate them because they think they are better than us, Like them because they helped with our independence, don’t like them because I like Pakistan, just another country/team

<li>Was more of a "just another country", but over the past 5 years, their board's arrogance has led me to root against them against any team but Australia.

9. WC 2011 & PCB: PCB can host in UAE if it chooses, WC should stay in subcontinent

<li>Sure, let PCB get its matches. It's not like we were getting all of them anyway.

10. Ash : Detrimental to the team, Necessity for the team, Just another player

<li>Necessity to the team until we replicate another with his class who is more consistent. Unlike some other members, I don't care much for honest triers who won't get me there. I'd rather work with prima donnas who give me results.

11. Sakib : Future captain, As long as he is on top of his game keep the added responsibility away

<li>Obviously a future captain. 3-4 years away please.

12. Mash : Going through a bad spell, weak and lacking confidence, lionheart

<li>Weak and lacking confidence. Has choked in every big moment I've seen him in. Scared of fast bowling, scared of bowling @ death - and this is now our skipper.

13. Choice of format : Test, ODI, T20

<li>Tests by a country mile.

14. Test: Boring, Real Cricket, Needs modernization

<li> Real cricket where your soul is examined every which way and you can't hide.

15. T20 : Hit or miss, a viable format in its own, Bad for cricket, don’t care

<li>Don't care

16. IPL : Hurting cricket, good for cricket, doesn’t matter

<li>Hurting cricket inasmuch as empowering the Modi's of the world. I'm happy that cricketers are finally making the mula but did it have to be in the process of feeding the smug egos at BCCI?

17. Mushy : right choice, liability as a wicket keeper, no better options available

<li> right choice

18. BD Test Status : ICC should revoke, We should surrender, Keep things as is, We belong with the other 8 just haven’t proven it yet

<li>We will be a top player - just need time.

19. BCB : It’s a sub continent board what do you expect?, doing the best they can, room for improvement, destined to be failures

<li>Destined to be failures if we don't go back to the transparency we had under Macky Dudhia

20. Support : Besides Bangladesh which is the other team/country you follow-support or used to with a passion before Bangladesh became more engaged in International games : AUS, NZ, SA, IND, PAK, SL, ENG, ZIM, WI

<li>Pak & WI back in the day.

[Tehsin]

1. Dhaka Warriors while in ICL : They shot themselves in the foot with the remarks they made. I support their right to a professional career. I didn't root against them because in a sense they were representing Bangladesh.
2. ICLer coming back to National team: Yes. ICL was banned by BCCI and was soon shunned by other groups due to the pressure from BCCI. BCCI ban on their own players are understandable but for me, it had no affect on BD players.
3. ICL players : Professional Athletes making a business decision. However, they needed to have a good media manager. They sounded like (excuse my obhodrota) pricks.
4. Captaincy : Sakib. Back up - Nafis and Nafees.
5. SN : captaincy material AND Could be useful
6. Alok : Proved his worth in ICL, let him prove it against QUALITY opposition. If he had the same sort of opportunity as Ash, he could have done better with it.
7. Pakistan : Just another team. OWES the people of Bangladesh an apology for their inhuman and barbarian actions. So what if they are muslim country? Religion has VERY little to do with good or bad people. A lot of Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, and people of other religion ARE amazing human beings and would give you (if you are open) more respect then many of your so called muslim 'brothers' and sisters. We all believe that there is only ONE GOD. He obviously made ALL of us. Simple thoughts from a simpleton.
8. India: Just another country/team until BCCI and/or one of their players make a bonehead comments.
9. WC 2011 & PCB: WC should stay in the subcontinent. Only a rat would try to ruin it for others only because they can't get the rotten cheese.
10. Ash : Just another player until his 2-3 moon sightings every year.
11. Sakib : Future captain, As long as he is on top of his game keep the added responsibility away.
12. Mash : Lacking confidence but a lionheart. He is goign to bounce back. I will be happy to be proven wrong by Mash. He has shown his desh prem time and again and we need someone with that mindset.
13. Choice of format : ODI because we need to work on Tests. T20 to fill out the calender and for some cheap fun.
14. Test: Real Cricket, Could use modernization
15. T20 : Hit or miss. Bad for quality cricketers.
16. IPL : I'm learning to ease up because someone reminded me how folks thoughts ODI would destroy cricket back in its early days.
17. Mushy : liability as a wicket keeper
18. BD Test Status : We belong with the other 8 just haven’t proven it yet
19. BCB : It’s a sub continent board what do you expect?
20. Support : Besides Bangladesh which is the other team/country you follow-support or used to with a passion before Bangladesh became more engaged in International games : SA, WI, and SL recently. AUS, PAK in the past. Individual players from the other countries. :)

21. Coaching : New coach who is familiar with sub continent. Someone that is not going to "publicly" trash the team or specific players after a defeat. Someone that will focus on the mental strength as well as the basics. The Basics bit is unfortunate. A reasonable expectation is to have players with strong basic coming in to the age group teams, move up to the A team, and then make their national debut. A national coach is really not someone that works with a players basic. It is what it is. We are not like the G8 nations.

In JS's defense, there is the obvious cultural and commication gap between him and the majority of our players. Not sure if they ever managed to work around it. He could only do so much. The onus was on the players to perform. We can't just blame Ash and JS when the others have failed as well.

[Imteaz]

1. Dhaka Warriors while in ICL: Nothing to Say, Complete personal whether you play for National Team or others. But shouldn't make any comments against country
2. ICLer coming back to National team: Sure. But have to prove yourself. Remember ICL standard are not up to the mark. So you are not someone special.

11. Sakib: Good going. Please keep it up
12. Mash: Don't think suitable as captain but I want to be wrong. Wish you very best of luck
13. Choice of format: Test/ODI/T20. I always prefer watching cricket. It's my Passion.
14. Test: The best arena to prove your Cricket Skill
15. T20: It's also competitive. Different format so hard to play as well. Nice to watch
