if they bat first: I want them to be restricted below 200.
If we bat first, then we sould try our best to get 230-240? why such low expectations? i feel like this is gonna be difficult to bat on.

my lineup:

Nafees
Kayes
Siddique
Jahurul
Rakibul
Rahim(wk)
Shakib(c)
Naeem
Razzak
Shafiul
Rubel

this is the best i can come up with...

I do not want Dollar or Rasel anywhere even near the team. unless Rasel is in good touch then this is an ideal time for him...since conditions + pitch + venue seems like where Syed Rasel Excels Best.

Subhanallah!

self-promotion post:

Everything I said today by Allah's Mercy has come true! when was the last time that happened

A to Kalpurush bhai a well-deserved victory for a selfless fan like you!
so what are you all waiting for: Dance!! like Michael Jackson!

and not to mention the fielding has been excellent in both games. I really liked in the first win how such effort was put to save a boundary despite a guaranteed win when only 2 balls were remaining with >12 runs needed.

fielding was much improved,however their direct throws haven't been too accurate.that's one thing that i noticed in both odis

Because of all these average worshippers who see his 33 run average and think he must be the best. The guy staying in reduces our chance of getting a decent cause. He's only good if we want to lose "respectively" or chasing under 180...though he's even made a mess of this one. He'll probably tell me I don'tknow anything about cricket but who cares...

rakibul will rarely win matches for us while chasing. he will only help us get up to respectable scores in lost matches

[alibangali]

Amazing performance by the bowlers, well done to the whole team for winning back to back games against full strength G8 side.

[shaad]

Didn't we use to call SN a minnow-basher? Does this mean he's improved, or can we relegate NZ to the ranks of minnows? I kid, I kid.

[aklemalp]

one more match now to win,for india and the world to stop calling us minnows

[crikfreak]

Alhamdulillah..... i'm very happy... ... finally.... i think we're heading towards the right direction..i just hope n pray this continues.....

I found these comments worth of sharing from that site lol

Indeed. Whereas in the first game we had some excuses - a diabolical third umpire decision, a rather harsh D/L calculation - there are none here. Comprehensively outplayed

Congrats Bangladesh. Owned us completely. Can you let us pull our pants up now please?

Indians stopped calling us minnows when BD kicked them out of the 2007 World Cup. Its the sports writers on cricinfo who keep doing that.

Bhua sick.

Sixes don't necessarily win matches. It's good to see Bangladesh are quitting the Pakistani gung-ho habit of flashy air borne shots and keeping most on the ground. Some of the drives and square cuts were pure delight to watch. We need more of this pattern if we want to win matches.

Second that. Almost all the shots were exquisite drives and cuts. A treat to the eyes, and far less risky especially on subcontinent pitches.

Because he somehow (god knows why?) became Sidon's favorite. The way SN is playing all Imrul, JS and specially this boring Raqibul's place is at stake.

[lamisa]

@BANFAN:always does whenever a bd cricketer is involved(except ash!)
yes,bd batsmen truly played some delightful shots during the 3rd odi.just loved the one that imrul drove for four down long on...
