Hope we reach the final. Go tigers :flag:

[Ajfar]

just a little warm up for the English. I like this. Morgan re aiebar Shakib mathe namar agei out korbo.

[nycpro96]

Should be a good warm up before England ODIs.

[desirocker]

we definitely should look win 1 match. I'd love to win against the indians....

[betaar]

we definitely should look win 1 match. I'd love to win against the indians....

But realisticly, we may have a chance against Pak only.

[al-Sagar]

i know what our captain and coach will say.

"we will look to qualify for next round which is the final match"

What else you want them to say? We will lose every game?

Raj: Bhalo kisu korar cheshta korbo.

Tamim: Natural game Khelbo.

Ash: Bhalo khelchi kintu run pacchi na. Asholey shommossha'ta kothai bujtey parchi na.

Mashrafe: Khelbo na, gossha korsi. Shakib amarey death over'a bol kortey dei.

Aftab: Rakhen Coach'er kotha. Ami'i amakey select kortam na.

[godzilla]

You know if they want to expand cricket in asia they should include those non international test playing teams such as China, Malasia, Afganistan etc. They are part of Asia aswell ... this is why cricket will always be minor compared to soccer where they let everyone participate.

[Shehwar]

Glad we are some how squeezing in! Wasn't our participation in doubt at some point?

They should have included Afghanistan, UAE and Hong Kong, how else will these guys get to play against the big boys. HK and UAE did play in 2008 and they played well.

Looking forward to India match, though our best chance is probably pakistan.

We needed Aus in our group to have a realisic chance to win...

first we should think about beating beatable teams like pakistan, new zealand and england, still we sucked big against them, Australia is miles ahead, we need another Ashraful miracle to beat Australia or else no chance.

Are you talking about Bashar era?!

The current team is on track and playing well lately. They lost the ODI series and Test against the English only because of Hill and his ilk - the Darrell Hairs of the world.

Bad umpiring also helped the the Kiwis to win over the Tigers in last tour also.

bad umpiring may be part of game game but biased umpiring ???

the umpires gave all bad decisions against us for the whole series since the NZ tour. decisions got frequent and frequent in the eng series.

how many we got on our side ???

trott given caught behind when hit on helmet.
trott given runout when nadir shah used common sense on what may have happened in the missing frame.

both were in such situation when the game was away from us. but england got decisions when they needed it to change the game for their favor and we lost the plot

"Much, much worse, though, was my impression while watching - later backed up by a complaint from the Bangladeshis - that the decisions were not honest umpiring errors, but came from that horrible racist colonial belief that the Tigers could not possibly be good enough to beat England. And damned if Hill was going to help them try.

The Bangladeshis might be the weakest team in world Test cricket, but they deserve the respect of their peers and the officials.

And they're fun to watch. I'd rather see Tamim Iqbal blast another quick 30 than Jonathan Trott crawl to 64 in 64 overs any day.

Hill and his ilk - the Darrell Hairs of the world - should be banned from standing as Test umpires."

:notworthy::notworthy::notworthy: couldn't say it better Sagor bhai. :up:





Some are just acting like :saint: without understanding the situation which is not helping us in any way. We have many more "Moni" in us than I though! Shame.:down:

KP, I agree with the umpiring comment. However, I honestly don't think we'd stand a chance against Australia. Just ONE left-armer bowling at 150km/h consistently was too much for us during our last visit to Australia, and now they have Bollinger too. I'd take a decent performance, because in my opinion, a win is out of the question against that side.

CK, you are right ^^^ but - T20 is anybodys' game in a given day. You never know...!;)

[Rommel]

Wow, you think I'm a traitor because I don't bitch about stuff that is now out of our control? Maybe when we can start winning matches regularly, can we start expecting decisions to go our way. Lets learn to bounce back from bad decisions and not dwell on them like you do. Stick to opening match threads my friend.

You are getting cranky day by day. Highlighted comment was uncalled for. Also you are putting words to his mouth. Where the hell did call you traitor?

[Bond]

I agree with Rommel, he is a man of honor.

[Rommel]

He said "we have many more moni in us than I thought. shame!" He took a jab at me so I took one at him.

[zainab]

Your own umpire Moni let you down by giving decisions favouring the English side. i read somewhere that he will not umpire for BD again. He should be banned permanently, has no clue to umpiring.

[Tiger444]

Quit your whining. Bad umpiring is a part of the game.

Rommel I fully agree with you..and i'll take your back because kalpurush shouldve never taken a shot at you for what you said..you had the right 2 get back at him..I mean what is this? Just because he has a different opinion of the situation so you call him a moni? Thats very shameful and just shows sometimes that we dont have the freedom of writing what we want because people might get take a jab at you..

Also yes it was very bad umpiring..obviously we didnt get the call our way but having people still complaining about it is absolutely ridiculous..we cant just cry over bad umpiring..this happens in every sport..the weaker teams really dont get nearly the calls the stronger teams do..i remember watching the ncaa tournament that a big time underdog by the name of Robert morris university played Villanova University and believe me, there were almost every single call against them..the referees basically gave them the game..is it fair? no definitely not..but again is life fair? That is a no 2..and unfortunately we are a weak team and if we really want 2 prove ourselves then we really gotta start outplaying oppositions big time..which we are failing to do..

Tiger Bhai...your post seems contradictory to me! You rally for freedom of speech but when I wrote against bad/poor/biased umpiring it is in your word– “having people still complaining about it is absolutely ridiculous.” Why is that?? Biased umpiring took away many wins from us – both Tests and ODIs. If we continuously keep losing matches because of biased umpiring – it will take us to nowhere and it would only make stronger “their” (<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comhttp://www.banglacricket.com/alochona/ /><st1:country-region w:st=Bangladesh</st1:country-region>’s Test status hotao andolon) case.

And I never took a shot personally at Rommel. Though I was a bit upset about the comment he made earlier regarding whining which I wasn’t. If you don’t speak up against the poor/biase umpiring it will continue our misery and eventually break our young kids moral apart.

kalpurush bhai..ok fair point..you made your point and you feel entitled 2 make your point..the thing is this is yes the 2nd england odi we bad umpires against us and then the 2nd test england test..then the nz test with mccullums catch..thing is though out of those 3 games i think only 1 we lost because of bad umpiring..no point of giving ifs and buts because to be fair england outplayed us in both tests..so i cant really agree on losing games continuously because of bad umpiring..if you feel you can counter my argument then by all means lay out all your facts on how we lost games due 2 bad umpiring..overall i feel like we have 2 blame ourselves for not winning the matches..

Also what rommel says was a good point in my opinion..bad umpiring happens in sports and it will happen 2 us the most because we are still a minnow..you might have thought you didnt mean 2 take a shot at rommel but i personally think it was..calling him a moni was pretty rude in my opinion..yes i kno you might have not liked the comment but does that mean you should call him a name? That was pretty uncalled for in my book..and it obviously hurt him..and also speaking up about the issue..no offense but constantly talking about it here is not going 2 do any good..if you want 2 speak up 4 the kids then write 2 the icc if you feel its such a big issue..just talking about it here all the time is just not going 2 help our cause..you can say it a couple of times but after a while it just becomes an example of whining..

[Rifat]

we really should win the cup.

I feel like WE owe India and Pakistan Big time!!!

Tiger444, please read Sagor bhais' post which does reflect my views on the ^^^ :)

[beshideshi]

Bhais and Bons, Bad umpiring is a part of the game. The sad thing is, weaker teams usually suffer more as a result of the bad umpiring. WHY? Because weaker teams usually create much fewer chances, add to that the chances they ruin themselves[drops] and then add another 2 bad decisions per innings and it means we have to take 15 wickets per innings to get a team all out and 30 in a test match to win. Which in my opinion is beyond our reach. That is why the decisions which go against us seem extremely harsh, but the truth is, these are human errors and over a long period of time things will balance out. We just have to prepare a team which is capable of taking 25-30 wickets in a test match. Until then we will have to rely on bowlers who can take 15-20 wickets and error-free umpires.
But for now, I think we have missed out on winning an ODI and drawing a test due to human errors.

I know bad umpiring is part of game and I wasn't whining about that. I was responding to Bond's post that poor umpiring is one of the main reasons that we still sucked ...

[Antora]

Oh Asia cup....
Bangladesh's performance in the last Asia cup still haunts me.... especially Nazimuddin's batting! =\

:sick:

[Rifat]

reasons why we should win:

1. Weakened Pakistan team(especially with a couple of good pacers on our side+green bouncy pitch should do the trick ;)) beware though their pace attack is a concern but no reason why we shouldn't win!

2. we are 8/10 from being an Elite team...WE lack that one Batsmen who can win it for us...Alhamdulillah! we are getting closer and closer everyday and I am proud of Bangladesh Cricket Team despite the losing record because when you compare our rate of improvement with other test playing teams, we are EXPONENTIALLY FASTER than the rest, when they first started out(although one factor to consider is that on the 21st century more cricket is being played than it used to be....)!

3. Be patient people, Luck will open up for us one day.....these umpires will make decision FOR us, rather than against us!

do consider the fact that our Spearhead Pacer Mortaza was kept out for a while and our best Batsmen(Ashraful) is horrificly out of form...these two getting together and the rest doing their usual job should see Bangladesh win 3 matches out of 5 we play): this is a huge improvement in my book where we are used to winning about 1 out of 15 matches against G8.

Poor umpiring is no excuse to our performances..and what beshideshi said is very correct..since we dont create that many chances, the chances we create and are not given are very crucial 2 us..but rather then crying over umpiring decisions we should look at how we should create more opputunities..poor umpiring is by no means a main reason..fact is we are still not a good team..i wouldnt say we suck but we are a very average team still..i would still consider ourselves only minnows as we still cannot beat top teams..we are definitely closing the gap though and are improving..we'll keep getting better if we take the right approach..its easy 2 give excuses but at the end of the day, people dont care about bad umpiring..all people care about is the Ws which we really need 2 get

In cricket one or two not out/out decision/s could change the outcome/s of the match, thus, it does affect our performances.

[Shehwar]

Who ever is stating the umpiring in the England - Bangladesh series was just part of the game could not have possibly seen the series! It was outright blatant biased umpiring borderline racism. I haven't seen such blatant biased umpiring since West Indian umpires used to do it for them in the early 90s ...

Yes it can but still cant use that excuse..if you keep on using that excuse then im sorry my friend but we are not going 2 go anywhere..whatever happened against england was unfortunate and we cannot do anything about it so we have 2 move on..and it affects our performances because our players get down 2 easily..once a wicket doesnt come by, their body language drops and they just pray for a wicket rather then fight for it..so yes umpiring decisions affect us because going back 2 my point we dont create enough opputunities..if our bowling was more lethal then we would not have this problem..

So your making an assumption that I did not watch the series? I watched the whole damn thing and yes the umpiring was horrible but borderline racism? Where the hell are you getting this from? This just shows how insecure some people are about our race..umpiries did not go against us because of our race, its because we are a weaker team and they obviously have some bias against the stronger teams..thats just the way it is and if people fail 2 realize that then I'm sorry but its pointless 2 argue about this issue then..

I 155% agree with you Tiger bhai, again brother very well written in your previous two posts! calling it racism is taking things a bit too far. Also, it's better to drop these issues and look forward, the people who keep mentioning about the umpiring howlers does sound like "whinning" to me.
