Hey, did you notice something? Sujon's only fifty in any type of Inernational cricket - either ODI or tests, has come against Zimbabwe - in an ODI in Bangladesh?
As we play so well - so much above our standards against Zimbabwe, so our main aim this time in February-March will not only be to score centuries (not half-centuries - centuries) either in Tests or ODIs or in both or take 5 to 10 wicket hauls by bowlers in an innings / match, but also to win at least one International match if not a couple.
Previously, we had only one low score of 168 against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe in a test match, others are in the 250s region. In 1 of the 3 ODIs, we had our best ODI total ever - until now in a 50-over match against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe. Although the other 2 ODIs were pretty disgusting compared to the 272 run-score, in the region of 120s to 130s, but I expect the players to perform better this time around.
And this is not only an expectation or a hope. This is something that we MUST do.
This is why I was pretty disappointed at the performance of the 2nd test between BD and ENG, since it was the last test match that Bangladesh was to play before meeting Zimbabwe in Feb-March.
A win against Zimbabwe in either 1 test or in 1 ODI means we will finally forget about our loss to Canada.
