Match Lost But Well Fought

[DJ Sahastra]

I can only give thumbs up for the manner in which BD Team made England fight.

No cake-walk or easy win despite having to achieve a sub-150 target.

Well fought Tigers.

I was frustrated after our batting performance, but the way we fought back till the end shows we are determined to improve. We're just not consistent with our batting, and that's something we have to work on. On the other hand, our bowling, mainly the spinners, and fielding has been brilliant IMO. If we can put a decent score on the table, they can certainly choke any opposition.

Thanks DJ. Any such experience is good experience gained though.

fielding was subpar today. we missed a few runouts and rahim dropped a catch. but razzaq and rafiq were brilliant with their bowling even on a pitch which had no turn for a spinner.

It was well fought game. I hope we always carry on with this mentality of fight.

we really could've batted better - we could have reached 200 even with bad batting, nut unfortunately the batting today was below bad.

however, all credit to the bowlers for taking to so close. we really had nothing to lose in this game and i'm happy with the way we fought back in the second half, as well as the overall improvement of the team in the last couple of years.

ask us to face england tomorrow and we will beat them.

Second that

Yeah well fought in the end. We have to realize these games are supposed to taken as a way to gain experience. hoping for out of the ordinary is still quite rare. Lets all be patient for now. I know the right time will come soon.

Asif bhai said all I had to say.

[al Furqaan]

i am dissappointed, but not crushed...a good experience...but now the semis are out of the equation...at least we don't have that pressure behind us anymore

[Sovik]

it was a great match. and a good sign that our player wouldn't give up. we have two more matches and we need to win them.

Well, we haven't seen BD team fight out such small scores in past. To me, the team is showing new character everyday. And that should gladden the hearts out here.

I think we had some close matches(with small scores) in past. Such as
2004/2005 vs Zim-- ZIM won by 3 wkts to score 140(dont remember exact total)
2004/2005 vs WI --WI won by 3 or 1(?) wkts to score 141(dont remember exact total)
2005/2006 vs NZ-- NZ won by 3 wkts to score 147

Dont have the source at the moment, but I'm quite sure about the above stats.
