Post Mortem of The Loss

[Habib]

Why did we lose today?
1.Tamim's stupidity
2. Bad fielding, Berrington was dropped
3. Mushy and Riyad's poor form continues
4. Poor team selection (Abul over Naz, Tamim-Ash over Junaid)
What are your reasons?

[Nadim]

Tamim & Ash still sux! (Solution: Find better openers)

Riyad: With a avg 0f <8 in INT T20 for top 5 batsman is just a joke. should bat @ no 7/8 or even 11 since he is playing as a so called AR

team selection of course

[playmaker]

Mushy sux

This guy doesnt deserve to be in the team considering his performance. So far he had that innings against India which was a good one and a half century against SAffers when match was already lost, not to mention being dropped a few times.

And as for abul i dont know what to say. This guy is much worse than shahadat

where is the poll

There are multiple reasons for the loss. No point limiting them to a poll.

[MSM B2C]

Tamim Iqbal: Super Flop in the Series!
Shakib Al Hasan: One good Batting score and That's it!
Mushfiqur Rahim: He does'nt know what he is doing!
Ziaur Rahman: Blind Slogger!

That's the morale of our series so far!

[shakibrulz]

Poor team selection, poor performance. Although a good wake up call IMO.

come on guys, we won both warm ups and all three against Ireland.
It was time that we lose a match to balance with the ecosystem.

Seriously speaking, take it easy guys,no team can always win, and in T20 any team can win.
So I'm not so frustrated about it,we just had a bad day all together hope we win the next 2.
Mash was the only player who played well so I'm not going to waste my energy on naming who suked.
But it's true that Mushy needs to deliver big time.

[Jadukor]

it was a bad day... lets leave all the bad days here in Europe

[playmaker]

i dont see ourselves going into the 2nd round in T20 wc. If you cant score more than 130 in a flat pitch, with short boundaries, and ordinary bowlers how will do well against NZ and Pakistan?

And if anyone is to be blamed its mushfiqur, this guy doesnt even deserve to be playing for a national team with such pathetic performance

[Mummy]

Problem Started when we selected our team and the problem never ended. But lets look forward to next match. As wasi was saying, If Allah wishes then we'll definitely demolish the Dutch Tomorrow.

[simon]

look at India
They scored 315 the other day and won
Today they scored 139 and lost by 9 wickets.

There will be ups and down , can't expect a win in every match regardless the quality of the opposition..that also when it's a Tea20.

but the point to be made is that even when we won against Irish, we got over the line barely owing to ordinary cricket by the irish.

we need to manup and perform

[ialbd]

such an appropriate Prothom Alo heading...

[Habib]

This thread is just for you to point out the reasons for the loss. It's not a knee jerk thread like 'Bring in a random U19 player' or 'BD is doomed foreva!'. Regardless of how we do in the Europe tour, I still expect us to go past the group stage in Sri Lanka. So simply point out the reasons guys.

And LMAO@ ialbd.

Poor kid! I blame our selectors fot Abul's downfall.

Good one though jalbd bhai

We had it coming. We lost to Zimbabwe and even a South Africa B team. Going into the tour of Ireland, I had expected us to either lose the series, or just barely scrape through. Luckily we did the latter, but honestly, it just wasn't enough. These are associates and we need to beat them comfortably and consistently. Every time we go to Europe we lose a couple of matches to them. The last couple of wins against Ireland were far from convincing and we would have easily been beaten by a better side under the same circumstances.

It's been a gazillion years and we still can't comfortably establish superiority over the associates, regardless of the format. Results speak volumes, so let's not kid ourselves - we're probably only ever so slightly better than the top associates and still far behind the teams ranked above us. I'd go as far as saying Zimbabwe are better than us and Ireland are our equals, which is extremely unfortunate as it indicates that everyone else is improving at a more rapid rate than our gutless players are.

Berrington just played an absolute once in a lifetime knock. Had he fallen early, Scotland wouldn't have come close to a team total of 100 I don't think. Unfortunate loss no doubt and I think Bangladesh should have come closer in their chase, they were outdone by some amazing fielding and decent shot selection BUT hitting to the fielders instead of in the gaps.

Don't forget T20 creates much easier upsets because of the nature of the game.

My words.

This is unacceptable and unforgivable.

We suck big time. I am feeling like uttering ugly words towards the team. When they will learn professionalism? When they will be consistent? When they will be responsible?

Bunch of irresponsible idiots.

[kalpurush]

The Scotts played well, thus won the match.

[kazis2007]

i am not worried about loosing but our players body language was so poor against them.

[Mauryan]

Poor team selection. Btw shafiul had a great wc when did he perform so bad after that that he has been permanently dropped from the first team?

Totally agree ..

[oronnya]

Our bowling never looked threatening except those overs by Sunny in the first 2 matches.. We need quality pacers.. Spinners can't do the job in a flat pitch..
