Ask CSA if they can do us a favor and schedule some match practice.

Wow, is that the new stadium in Saint Martin ? Looks good.

Also, I'd recommend reading this thread- http:// http://www.zimcricketforums.com/view...73f8e2ef674c76

"Bangladesh, our fellow strugglers will eventually surpass us". I was surprised by that comment. We've been ranked above Zimbabwe for a long time.

We have but I think he means that we've always been the 2 teams that are outside the G8 zone. Also in Tests we and Zmbabwe are nowhere near the G8 teams. In recent times though we're joining the ranks of the G8 teams in ODIs while Zimbabwe is still far behind and is near the associates.

I was in Barbados recently, attended all 3 days of the Test match, felt very sorry for ZIM,the way the Windies made mincemeat out of them, game did not even last 3 full days, I got complimentary tickets, so I did not have to pay, I am sure that BD will not have a hard time, but then Zim is playing in their own backyard.

I wonder what the currency will be of the prize money? Hope it's not going to be ZIM dollar. A loaf of bread costs few millions zim dollar I hear.

[M.H.Rubel]

If TAMIM misses the test series top order Batting will be a big concern. Anamul will busy with exam. Probably SN will get a recall in tests. Though I dont like the style of SN in tests.

Prize money always paid in US$

[wktkeeper]

1.00 usd = 361.900 zwd

[BD_TigerZ]

Drop the selectors for gods sake.

Axe

Srk
Sunny
Abul
SN

Give vc to shakib/nasir

Give shabbir a debut in shorter formats ahead of momniul.
Give babu a debut.

I expect these guys to be complacent and incompetent being the "better" team that they are, and lose a game or two. Also expect the usual choke. See you in 17 days!

[Dilscoop]

At least real Mushy is coming back! Much needed for Gazi and Shakib.

I agree. I think it'll be 2-0 to Zimbabwe in the Test series. 2-1 to Zimbabwe in the ODI series. 1-1 in the T20 series.

[AsifTheManRahman]

If not 2-0, then 1-0 to Zimbabwe in the Test series. Pathetic.

if something like this happens i will abandon myself from watching games for the next 1 year

Is Mash going to be fit? Can he bowl 15 overs an inning? Pick him. Much better than 30 overs from Abul. Shakib and Gazi can pick up the balance.

Is Nazmul going to be fit? For God's sake, pick him.

Don't bowl Mash in the death though, no matter how masochistic you're feeling.

All we need is 7 overs with each new ball. He can stay off the field and bat at #11 for all I care.

Shakib was ineffective in the last Test in Harare. The spinners will get no help

[wktkeeper]

mash in death overs against zimbabwe, no way. cant repeat his earlier bashing in zimbabwe, also in ipl and bpl

We have ZERO death bowlers. Infect we never had any. I know that guy Taposh was decent.

I miss Rafique.

I thought Shakib was ineffective also...but he took 4 wickets at 30 apiece. Not terrible. Thing with ZIM is their technique is so poor against spin even the HSC track might not help them. Gazi and Shak should get bagfuls. On the other hand even a seam friendly track will render Abul and Rajib and Rubel impotent.

[Rifat]

Quick question: Is Shafiul Islam fit yet?
