We won't be visiting Aus, Eng in near future. We will play most of our matches in BD. We have all the right to decide how we prepare our wicket. Spin is our greatest strength, and this is a series decider, so we played to our strength. What's wrong with bowlers having a good wicket? Why people don't complain when ODI produces 600+ run?

I don't really mind Dujon's question but it's the timing of the question which makes it facepalmable.
Where were these questions yesterday when we were batting?
This type of questions could be asked towards the end of a game after seeing both sides struggling to score.

My answer would be 'Yes'. So many grounds around the world, ODI pitches solely favor the batsmen and there's nothing in it for the bowlers. This pitch is a refreshing change and gives the bowlers a leg up to balance things out. This is a good ODI pitch Dujon!

Who cares about whether it's a "good ODI" pitch or not.

The fact of the matter is the home team has every right to make a pitch to maximize their chances of winning.

End of story.

[Shehwar]

Come on! Bring Lalla in to get Pollard! It's not Rocket Science!!!

Dujon: "let me ask the question again athar. Is this a good one day pitch???"

[Haradhon]

Dujon was pressing hard if "this is a good ODI pitch." It got a bit testy as Ata did not admit it was made to BD's strength

[roman]

Pollard kheple ball kintu ajke WI pathabe

[Sohel]

Shuhash has maintained his good form so far MashAllah.

Don't worry about Pollard.

He'll be out soon, he's not an innings builder. A powerful hitter.

[ialbd]

Bring on lala after this over?

Wicket-keepers are combative by nature.

Examples: Ian Healy, Mark Boucher, Adam Gilchrist, Matt Prior, Rashid Latiff even our little Mushy likes a throwdown.

Good observation....

[simon]

atleast Ata mentioned Mushy's dad,if it was Shamim he would be talking about the goirl.

[Sovik]

They are still going on and it's still not funny

haha That Perv

[Haradhon]

Dujon continues to whine about the pitch

[Leafs PWN]

Shafiul has come back really well.

[Sohel]

Darun Bravo's not looking so Darun. Shuhash is.

One would argue ... That would be premature to ask...given more time, you should be able to have a better assessment of the pitch...there was nothing wrong in asking that question...a straight answer could have made a good discussion...
