Can't wait for Masri to return and take the leadership.
well, shakib is fearless and so are the rest of the boys.

i kind of disagree with you. in hindsight, yes shakib's decision was wrong, but the thinking behind it was, "india will score 350, and we can't chase 350". this is true.

but hey, progress is being made. remember 2004 India tour when we were all jumping because we crossed 200 in all three matches? see how far we've come?

before we can chase 350 against a G8 side, we first have to chase 275, then 300. and it think we are now capable of doing that. once we post 350 batting first, we can then have the confidence of chasing it down.

Siddons is working wonders with our boys, and I just hope we will be healthy for the next 13 months. we need Rasel and Mash (and Rubel too) to all be healthy for the next 13 months and thru the world cup.

i'm not worried about batting anymore, not on flat wickets anyways.
