I don't think so. The reason is that the rate of improvement of the other teams are more higher than the rate we improved in past two years. All teams including SL,WI, Zimb improved way better than us. So, we will face the same uphill task and might repeat the similar results. Unfortunately, that is the truth.

We could have avoided but our batsmen didn't learn anything and remained same like two years ago.

We should not use the word 'should' after the recent series against Zimbabwe
That 'should' imposes some extra pressure and to be frank, we can't handle that pressure. Just let them apply the happy-go-lucky way.

Yeah lets just hope WI have one of their famous collapses against us!!!

Yes... it must be rephrased something like this:

"We must beat Zimbabwe..."

Matching player by player Australia is better than BD. All 11.

Similarly we are better than Zim 8/9 of 11 players. We must win that match.

If we lose it would be coaches fault for not preparing well and the application part blame would be on the players.

I like that

Losing to Zim was an accident. I never count on that and never think that they will beat us in CT. We could beat Australia on England's soil, does it means we will beat them in our next encounter. If you think so then you might think Zim will win against us in CT; but if you don't think so then don't think that thet'll beat us. I am hopeful about catching either of the two big fishes (WI,SL).

We're in for a big surprise, and I won't disclose that till the coming CT.

[Tokyobreeze]

With the lack of practice my prediction is - we will loose badly against SL.We will come better with WI.If it's our lucky day and WI has those collapse, we might win against them.When we will face Zim, we have already played against big fishes.We should simply smash them.Of course, the reality might be different from predictions.Lets just hope that whatever reality might becomes, we will get benefitted from it.

Bangladesh will be playing Srilanka on next Saturday, just six days left from now.

I am hoping to see some good performance by Bangladesh team in the practice match against Panjab to get some confidence back.

Oh man, can't wait to see the first match live on TV with no external interruption of eating, urining or excreting.
