In this area, we need to up our T20 game. Performance in T20s would mean greater exposure for our boys and this would mean contracts in BBL, CPL, IPL and county and this would only help us get better because of the added experience. Riad, Sabbir, Tamim to say a few. But think about it, after todays loss will people be bothering about them? Individual performances don't matter when you are a minnow side which we are. Its not like people follow our domestic matches.

It is even more important to win T20s because we needed to show that we are not just a one format bully, and that we can perform in other formats as well. We suck in T20s and this was the tournament to prove that. But deflating due bans, and this epic choke, we have not been able to do anything. Yes, these are very small things but these small things matter a lot in the grander scheme of things.

Boys need to go back and take rest. Not that they deserve it though
We JUST started being competitive in T20s starting from the Asia Cup. We were poor in this format before the Asia Cup like we're poor in Test. We showed a lot of improvement lately, and I believe in a year, we'll start playing to our full potential. Did you really expect us to go from a team that was ranked below associates to playing like the best T20 team in the world within a month? Take a chill pill. The team committed harakiri today after playing well most of the game, but don't turn everything into doom and gloom because of that.
