Kenya in Bangladesh: 4 match ODI series

[Mridul]

Hmm...its a 4 match series....i think BCB did so on purpose....the most likly result will be 2-2. If it would have been 5 or 3 match series, Kenya would win by 3-2 or 2-1. The only way BD can win the series if BD players show consistent positive performance, especially in batting, in the test series against Srilanka.

Meanwhile, Kenya has won todays match against zim.

Steve Tikolo smashed a stunning 98 off 75 balls as Kenya levelled their five-match one-day series against Zimbabwe with a convincing 79-run win at Bulawayo - Cricinfo

Nah, I think BC members are too scared of Tikolo beyond reason, he is no Brian Lara. Playing club cricket against teams full of unexperienced rookies and playing international cricket are really two different things. Just don't let Taposh or Nazmul bowl against him, we will be ok.

[Umar]

Dont take Taposh like this C'mon.....What ever situation he is in...He has played his Role in England....and Look he was injured last few months too....C'mon be considerable to him......

But I dont think anything about Nazmul....its up to u :P

i wish there was a match bet'n our U-19 vs Kenya, would have been interesting to see..

but Yes, we must restrict Tikolo. (btw, he didn't face Mashrafee, did he?) i'm not much worried abt anyone else! but we'll win the series insallah.

I agree with you! Taposh is very hard worker, he knows his limitation and works accordingly. he had a bad day on saturday, but he did quite a lot for BD.

Some people say we will win the series 3-1 but my question is that we are not a bad team at all! So why not try to win by 4-0? We are a test team now and if we can't beat a team like kenya (I am not underestimating them) then why we are playing test cricket for last 5 yrs?

We should be optimistic, we have beaten Ausies, Indians, Lankans so we should be confident of winning against the kenyans. If we loose the series then it will be horrible for us. Then the bd bashers will rise again.

With due respect for Kenya I would say bangladesh should do a clean sweep, I mean they have to do that.

Ha..i am sure U-19 or A team would definitely beat them, but i doubt about our National team. I still wonder how the previous matches result can be 1-6 against a team like Kenya. Hope it can upgrade this to 5-6 this time....

Ditto.

But why are deciding to play only 4, surely 3 or evn 5 would be in the best interest of both nations, however it may not matter if BD wins 3-1 or 4-0 !!!!!!!!!!!

We got AUS in april as well, so i would like to BD rack up at least 300 or more against KENYA at least once in the forthcoming series, it is possible and even more so due to HOME advantage.

I for one is eagly awaiting for this series. JOY BANGLA!!!!!

[dxmanbd]

It is a prestige issue for Bangladesh to win the series with 4-0.
Anything else would be very painful. I am eagerly waiting for
the first white wash by BD TIGERS.

JOY BANGLADESH FOREVER!!!!!!!!

[Tigers_eye]

The record between Zim and BD is not 1-6 nor it is 1-4. The real stat is 4-8.

Bangladesh won in the 1986, 1990, 1997 (finals) ICC Trophy matches against Kenya. They also beat Kenya in 1998. On the other hand Kenya have won in 1994, 1997, 1998, 1997/98 (2 matches), 1998/99 (2 matches), and in the 2003 World Cup.

As for the results, too many questions has to be addressed at game time.
Winning the toss in Bogura.
The pitch at Fatullah. (2 matches)
Inexperience of Kenyan players in these environment.

[oracle]

Count me in as putting my money in to the possibility that Kenya may win 2 matches. Tikolo is a matchwinner and has seen off many a BD bowler. And Kenya should play Tests soon.

[sadi]

If Tikolo singlehandedly takes away the game from us, I have nothing to say. I mean it looks like kenya is a one man team and if we can't beat a one man army, then its really a shame for us. Remember, they have good players like Shah and Otieano but I didn't see them in the recent matches against Zimbabwe. Without them, we should beat Kenya comprehensively.

I think Kenya will lose all 4. They will be comprehensively beaten in at least 2 of them. Tikolo knows our bowlers, we also know Tikolo, his style, his weaknesses. It's a one-man show against a "team".

i doubt they'll lose all 4.

tikolo knows our bowlers, but even if we know his style and weaknesses, he still is in the top 2-3 domestic run scorers. so apparently we don't know him as well as we should.

otieno is still playing (scored 74 in the first match against zimbabwe). kenya may have one superstar, but the others do pitch in, and they can score big innings, something our stars seem quite incapable of.

it doesn't matter is tikolo's seen mashrafe or not. did they play for the same team? either way, i'm sure they were playing at the same time at one point.

kenya should not get tests anytime soon because they don't have a first class league to speak of. they might do well, but without the infrastructure, they won't be granted test status.

this series should be very interesting. there is no way the u-19s or A team (unless BA makes a return) can beat kenya. u-19's top order collapses as much as ours, and our only strength there is in the spinners.

the only reason kenya might be relatively weaker now is that their board had been having problems, and they've been a bit short of match experience of late (hadn't played a while before zim). if they warm up well with zimbabwe, we have our work cut out for us.

we must win this at least 3-1 to have any semblance of credibility. we are winning this, riiight?

[SS]

I think from today Bd should think about how to do well with Kenya instead of playing with lanka, cuz we already lost to lanka so no point of pulling off our hair for this series anymore.

[anakwalajinn]

I like both teams, it will be a great series!

[Umar]

One question........HOW SURE IS THAT ........that Kaneya IS COMMING IN BD AFTER SRILANKAN SERIES???

They didnt even put the fixture up anywhere in internet...not even a single column about it in cricinfo.!!

if anyone knows any sources....instead of protom Alo and any other Bangla sites.........please provide the link..

They way tikolo is going, I don't see any reason why we can't have a 4-0 sweep against them.
