Suggestion from a Bangladeshi (let BCCI request Cricket Australia take Indian players to participate in their Domestic Circuit)

[Baundule]

The joke is neither good, nor bad. Probably, arrogant BCCI deserves this; but we have our own problems to solve. In recent months, Indian cricket has more success to cheer about than a T20 WC exit. They will learn from their mistakes; but we won't.

[yaseer]

Poor Indians think they are the best batting side but can't chase 130
Poor Indians think they are the best players of spin but can't play Botha

[One World]

On a different note, are we done with our home work? When Srilanka came to play Wills Cup in Dhaka, their running between the wicket and superb fielding was praised loudly by the then commentators and everybody knew that yes Srilanka has done their home work.

We are not there yet.

Guys, this wasn't a "we so good" thread - just a mild dig

Do you compare achievements of a 80 years old and 10 years old? Look at what the old man achieved in 10 years, if you like to compare. Difficult to compare Lagan cricket & todays cricket though.

Do you mean that the ODI standards were higher in 83 than today?

Don't over react for anything, I think the problem will be solved.

Now Dhoni can always be in touch with his freinds and read all the articles about his effigy burning via his home computer.
No more need to use airpocket something something blah blah service from airtel.

May be it wont give him man of the match feelings, atleast he would give him the man of the hatch, i mean home feelings.

In 83, the ODI format was relatively new compared to now. The amount of experience India had playing the ODI in 83 is no whwere to what BD has now.

Love this thread. Thank you Razab, well timed through the gap ...

Oh yes, the mighty WIndies had it from the beginning, they were trained with ODI cricket as soon they came out from mother's womb which is realistic for Brazilian soccer.

Ah well, so now every player learns cricket in their mother's womb.

If the name Greenidge, Richard, Llyod, Holding, Garner etc.. doesnt make u any sense, u better quit watching cricket. Or maybe if any other country had won the 83 wc, it might have been a historical landmark for you.

Ohhhhhhhhh.................Sometimes people cheer about the past when they have nothing to cheer in Present.

I understand the sarcasm and the attempt to get back at that thread. But still, this thread fails big time. Team Bangladesh has remained where it was. Still losing badly, yet to achieve anything of significance. And you go to mock others at singular failures? That's funny.

But, whatever pleases you.

Reading your post gives me the notion that you did not really understand my post and tried to create some mockery out of your misery.

Anyway, whatever pleases you - probably sympathy would be the better way to go during this tough time.

Feeling "bomboclad"-ed, how about a plate of humuhumunukunukuapuaa with Hyderabadi spices, a glass of coconut water to go with.

we did have trouble qualifying for such WC...but thats not the point, is it? besides, we've still bettered you in the "claims to outcome" ratio. please check what i wrote in my previous post before going an irrelevent "feel good" comeback post.

your point was India can turn it around and win world cups...fair point but...they've won zero world cups beyond that one in 83. zero. and in 83, ODIs were new for everyone, the standard of play was very unpredictable...i mean windies failed to chase 180 in 60 overs for god's sake.

take a team with a bowling attack consisting of mcgrath, vaas, murali, mendis, and wasim (all in their primes). how often would they defend 180 in 60 overs against even a mediocre batting lineup? not very often. the game has changed. and since its changed, india hasn't won a world cup. not even with the awesome talent they've assembled over the years. 87, 92, 96, 99, 03, 07...six tourneys, zero rings. the game has changed. we'll see how many india win in the next 6 world cups, my guess is 1, 2 at the most. who knows, BD might even win one world cup in the next 6 tourneys...

as for BD having more ODI experience now versus india in 83...true. but relative experience BD still has much less. india had more or less the same experience that their oppossition did. BD still has far less. 200 ODIs played to india/pak's 700+, our players have less experience on average in caps/age/years than pretty much every team except current zimbabwe.

*************************************

this thread is one of jest, people. there's no reason for indian fans to get their dhotis in a tight knot. everyone on BC acknowledges that india is the far superior Test, ODI, and T20I team. just because we think we will win every game against you before and during the match, doesn't change that. we're fans, thats what we're supposed to do. yet, you folks are annoyed here on this thread. what more do you want from the BD fans in addition to ackowldging your teams superiority? do you want us to worship them as you do? thats unreasonably arrogant...

the thread was about indians learning to play short and fast balls...and was a play on advice from an indian fan (however well intentioned) about us learning to play in india. and mind you, with a few exceptions, indian batsmen have always struggled against the short stuff, like most of their subcontinent counterparts.

So, is that the answer to the question ??

A new format poses equal level of difficulties to all. Experience is always comparative, in 83 ind was playing ODIs for as many years as other member countries. BD started 17 years later than 83 & doesn't have the experience of playing test cricket for 80 years at their back. So the young boy needs time to catch up.

How does that mean that Cricket in 83 was having higher standard and BD wouldn't have got a chance to play if cricket was still of that standard ??

IMO, BD went in to qualify and Play WC & snatch a win in WC match, in much more difficult time.
