Ieave religion out of sports discussions. I am sure people in Gaza are going to the mosques and crying too. Their situation is still getting messier.

Bowling wise, I've been harping on about this for a while, but it's high time that we changed our strategy to a 4 man pace attack and look to bowl the opposition out. I want to see aggressive field settings with the captain backing our bowlers. There's no point using spinners and letting the game meander along. For once we've got 4 decent pacers in Mashrafe-Al Amin-Taskin-Rubel.

Batting wise we should've stuck with Mominul at #3, he'll be our best batsman at that position in years to come imo, he can be our plan b with the ball too. We can also replace Riyad with Sabbir and give him a try.

1. Need the captain to stop talking Bull crap first. Stop putting your players under the bus. Take a good look at the mirror. Even yesterday you blamed the openers yet you started the collapse.

2. Get Steve Waugh and sit with our captain and soom to be captain (whom ever); lock the room for a day or two. They should have plenty of food, bathroom, TV and old videos of Steve captaining his side. Making changes on the field on the fly.

All our close losses are because of captaincy gaffe.

1. Need to change the captain. His defensive game plan costing us so many close matches. He can't think out of his pre-written script and does not learn from the mistake.

2. Selecting team according to performance not by the big name who has mama, chacha, khalu, bhaira or political connection to get into the team.

3. Selecting right combination of playing 11. What the hell is 4 openers doing their while Mominul warming up the bench who could be our long term #3 solution.

We always come up with suggestions about how this team can get better and also the domestic structure after these disastrous tours but have these players or BCB decided to change things to make this team better? Like we've all said they seem to expect different results with the same strategies while other teams are constantly looking at different strategies to improve, it seems ours don't.

It's sad because all of us fans want this team to get better and care so much but the question is do these players and BCB care? After all is said and done, we still remain a 9/10 side. I think in the end, let these players and BCB figure it out as to how to get better and stronger as a team. It is their job in the end isn't it? In the mean time, all we can do is hope changes happen and we can get better but can't get too surprised or demoralized about the results.

agree with Tiger Manc, would also like to see different captains for different formats,

মাত্র ৭০ রানে অলআউট হয়ে গেল বাংলাদেশ। সমস্যাটা আসলে কোথায়?

মুশফিকুর রহিম: আমাদের পরিকল্পনা ছিল পাঁচ-দশটা ওভার স্বাভাবিক ক্রিকেট খেলা। কারণ ব্যাটিংয়ের জন্য উইকেট বেশ ভালো ছিল। প্রথমেই একটা ভালো জুটি হলে খেলাটাকে অনেক এগিয়ে নেওয়া যেত। কিন্তু কিছু ব্যাটসম্যান বাজেভাবে আউট হয়েছে। কেউই দায়িত্ব নিয়ে খেলেনি। হারি-জিতি পরের ব্যাপার। লড়াই করার মনোভাব নিয়ে যে খেলা, দেশের জন্য খেলার যে একটা অনুভূতি, মনে হয়নি কারও মধ্যে সেটা আছে। অনেকে বাজে শট খেলে আউট হয়েছি। এটা খুবই হতাশাজনক। জেতার জন্য যে একটা তীব্র আকাঙ্ক্ষা লাগে, অন্তত চেষ্টা করা...আমার মনে হয় শুরু থেকে ১১ নম্বর ব্যাটসম্যান পর্যন্ত কারও মধ্যেই সেটা ছিল না। এ জন্যই এত লজ্জাজনক হার।

দেশের জন্য খেলার ব্যাপারটা আপনি এখন যেভাবে অনুভব করছেন, ড্রেসিংরুমে অন্য খেলোয়াড়দের মধ্যে কি সেটা দেখেছেন?

মুশফিক: আমার মনে হয় সবার মধ্যেই এ অনুভূতিটা আছে। আমরা যেহেতু এখন ফর্মে নেই, যে সুযোগগুলো পাচ্ছি সেগুলোতে নিজেদের প্রমাণ করা উচিত। সেদিক থেকে বলব যে আসলেই হতাশাজনক। সবাই হয়তো অনুশীলনে অনেক কঠিন পরিশ্রম করছে। কিন্তু সবকিছু নির্ভর করছে মাঠে গিয়ে আপনি সেটাকে কীভাবে কাজে লাগান। ভালো বলে কেউ আউট হতেই পারে, সেটা ভিন্ন কথা। আমার মনে হয়, কারও মধ্যে চেষ্টাটা ছিল না। খারাপ করলে অপরাধবোধে সবাই ভোগে। তবে সবাই আরেকটু যদি দেশের জন্য অনুপ্রাণিত হয়ে খেলত, হারলেও হয়তো কাছাকাছি যাওয়া যেত। সেটা পরের ম্যাচে আমাদের আত্মবিশ্বাস দিত।

No way out.

The solution is bangla hiphop

Thanks for the link Murad.

Why is this guy still talking to the media? Coach needs to start a gag order. With each loss there should be a monetary punishment. That would solve all problems. Taka shara kisui chine na. Desh'er hoiye khelte jai'e tho 70 allout hoi. Desh-fesh chinta kora baad dewa uchit. Unnecessary pressure'er ki dorkar? Jitley taka paba. Harley fine.

The current crop of players take things for granted.
They forget how Athar and co., Shujon and co. had to work hard to get ODI status ad then Test status. When we had collapses before, players like Pilot always stayed at the crease and batted out the whole 50 overs. The current crop aren't even bothered to do that!

[jeesh]

Anyone watching how Masakadza is holding the innings together in a batting collapse. Thats the way out.

Because some of our fans have labeled that as shomman jonok porajoi and that is the worst kind of defeat. So the players play for those fans. We all need to thank them.
