Thats not called aggressive or confident. Thats called foolishness.
naa.. its not wht u think really.. it's not arrogance (I'm not sure if CrickInfo made it sound like that..) in this case... its rather a 'Reply-Challenge'
coz even Taibu has been throughing challenges to the BD team saying "Even though BD won the test series.. we r the ones who were on top at the end of 2nd test!!"

I saw Bashar's interview on tv in last's night news.. he dint sound arrogant.. but sounded like putting a fair-challenge to the opponent.. and that is quite sporty.. which happens between rival teams all the time (Eng-Aus...Ind-Pak etc.)...

What looked more impressive to me is that he & the team management targets to win the first 3 ODI's to confirm series win first... thats even a more realistic approach.. breaking down goals to smaller targets!

Best of luck to the TIGERS!!
