Punished for what? And you are glad coz he was expensive today?

Sometimes I just don't get people

I think BD ticked a lot of the boxes for me.

What they lacked is the hunger to go for the kill after getting SL in a tight position. Also I feel reviews could have been used better.

[Mas_UK25]

Good comfortable, comprehensive win. BD Dominated it from start to finish. Never were in the races SL.

Fizz will only be deadly on our pitches hence we will be a force to be reckon with at home in the main forms. Fizz needs to try something else if he wants to succeed away from home. Mosaddek should never bowl: his bowling is worst than Nasir Hossain. Tamim may have scored the 100, but it was Shakib's and Shabbir's batting that stood out to me. We could be the dark horses for the Champions Trophy. I'm not happy with Taskin's bowling as of late – he has been expensive. The key question is can Bangladesh score at a rate of more than 7 runs-per-over – remains to be seen. There's no way Bangladesh can beat Australia, England and New Zealand in the Champions Trophy. We need to rely more on our bowling, so I'm not surprised that Mehedi is being tried out in this series. Nevertheless, a fantastic win. Sri Lanka have struggled badly in ODIs as of late. T20s look their strongest suit at the moment. Also, keep in mind that Sri Lanka are missing a few of their top guns, but I still don't think it would have made a difference to the result. I might be inclined to rest the Fizz for the final few ODIs. Maybe try out Roy who could be a pivotal foil come the tour to Europe. We should still be good enough to win the series without him.

All cricket experts started to analyse Fizz after one bad game even tho he picked up 3 wickets

Faltu ekta bowler. Drop him for forever

And Tamim who scored that 100 and crossed 10,000 runs should be forced to retire

[One World]

I think Fizz should have missed the direct hit of Sandakan run-out as well. He deprived a wicket of off some preferred bowler of someone.

50% mustafizur got 4 wickets in 2 matches in New Zealand... Line and length prevails anywhere

Worse than nasir hossain.. Yes... But nasir improved massively and he was an excellent spinner in shorter formats in the end of his time with national team

[aklemalp]

Bowling mehedi early to avoid the dew. Master plan.


Miraz is designated opening bowler in all formats like ...lol.

Whispering death.

[icricket]

Alhamdulillah, almost perfect game. I loved the way top-order batsmen took responsibility. This was the game where batsmen scored runs as they were supposed to do, and bowlers bowled beautifully as they were supposed to do. The lower order batsmen played with out any pressure, and the bowlers had plenty of runs to defend.

I don't care who says what about Tamim, and Shakib, from now on they (every set batsmen) should approach their innings in similar fashion and keep wickets on hand. So that we can score freely on the last 10 overs.

Great job, Team BD and Co.
Thank you Sri Lanka for hosting us.

[shahid ali]

Well played boys... Good performance.. congratulations

[epitaph]

Outclassed them in both batting and fielding. Attack-wise, our bowlers weren't really challenged after the first 10 overs or so.

This SL team is lacking 2 good bowlers and 2-3 good batsmen. Talent is lacking. And their fielding was horrible once again. It's up to us whether we win the series 3-0 or not.

Haven't seen us field that well in a while. Was nice to see. No dropped catches and good ground-fielding. Good commitment shown and good, positive body language on the field.

lolwut?

You should join MHRAM in his "Most selfish batting" thread.

[Roey Haque]

People are acting like the series is over. Please remain humble and alert. We need to win the 2nd ODI as well.
