Bangladesh needs a Kevin O Brien
We have been playing cricket for 10+ years and it's a shame we can't come up with a smart slogger/perfect text book batsman. None of Riyad, Naeem and Ashraful comes even close to Kevin. We could have won many more games if we had a calm smart cricketer like Kevin in our side. I remember our matches against England, how Riyad and Naeem just blocked out the overs when we needed 100 of 90 balls or something close.
Naeem Riyad and Ashraful are a disgrace and a waste at number 6 slot, they neither have the skills nor the ability. Do we have anyone in domestic cricket who are match winners like Kevin?

I think they Irish players improved because of their contracts in county cricket. I hope a few of our players get contracts with the counties and it should have an immnese impact.

One sparrow makes no summer. O'Brien is good, but we have batmen with better technique and stats. Remember Davison?

We don't!!!
What we need is WINNING MENTALITY AND BELIEVING YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN WIN MATCHES REGARDLESS THE OPPOSITION/SITUATION...

This is exactly what i was talking abt the other day...
If Bangladesh were 115 for 5 and Rock at the crease, we would have got 220 and rock scored 70 runs and all BanglaForum guys would go goo goo ga ga over Rakibul. And we loose by 100 runs still...
Instead if Ashraful was at the crease he would try to make a match out of it and in the process might get out for 20 runs and all BCers would ask for his head....
I still prefer the Ash approach any day...

I prefer O'Brien approach and result. Learn from England (about getting other nation's players) and make him a BD citizen.

Just give us a Flat Deck with Mickey Mouse Boundaries and you'll get 20 of them.
The Same Pull shot he got out vs us went for 4 (should have been taken) and about 3 others would have been out too Mirpuir.

We had a flat deck against India, we played poorly compared to Ireland's victory.

Don't be fooled by the plethora of runs in that match, it was anything but a flat deck. In fact I think Mirpur is unable to produce a flat deck. The ball always stops a bit before coming to the bat, or skids. AT best Mirpir can produce dust bowls, but even then scoring requires a lot of hard running and wrist. Keep in mind that Mirpur ground is 90 m to 80 m in diameter, whereas today shots covering 66 m went for six. That same shot would've been caught in the sweeper in Mirpur.
Taking nothing away from Kevin or Ireland, I firmly believe it was the English who messed up. They should have scored 350 up and they should have dusted the Irish for less than 200.

because all of our batsman played as if the target was 250 and not 370. except Imrul and shakib. but shakib effed up by not going for the PP. sure we could have been bowled out for 220 in 40 overs, but we DIDN'T GIVE OUR SELVES A CHANCE to cut our NRR gap, let alone go for an improbable win. tamim can be excused be he will rarely face 86 balls to score 70, and he can make it up in the space of 3 overs. i'll give Mushy a pass because he is our perfect anchor/grafter (as the Ireland game showed).
Junaid was the real buzzkill that game and if he fails against WI or hits a defeatist fifty, I'm gonna start threads to get SN in his place.

Look at your Avatar! I know you are obsessed with Ash. He won't disappoint you (and us).
I am sure you are talking about 10 wickets. Believe...(He won't get 10 wickets but he will do sth with bat...)
