So is batting from the looks of how our batsmen have been playing.

PS: Please don't pontificate, and let Allah sort it out. Wahabi-type imposition is haram also as that line of lunacy plays intermediary between man's salvation and Allah. Read the holy Quraan youself my brother, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Indeed good timing ,,,,, Well well...... we'll c whether Bangladesh can give us a better challenge....... I'm sure our guyz need competetive cricket too ..... I really want Ashraful to win the toss , so then SL can Bat first and can give a reasonable for Bangladesh to chase.......

Is it day night match?

[Sadz]

I reaaly hope we can beat them cos in all the other ODI's we played we did somethings good(e.g.bowling ) but didnt get the end result. Go tigerz whoever you are, wheter its Ashraful or Rasel!

[Sadz]

Shehani do you think we will flop or we will give a fighting performance even though its not up to you?

"I know we are under pressure following one after another defeat but for every cricketer it is a dream moment to make international debut. So I am excited to play and contribute something for the team," said Riyad, who was spotted by a local coach in his hometown during a school tournament.

"I want to be a perfect all-rounder. I have a long goal but right at the moment my only desire is to show something in my first game," said Riyad, who recalled his elder brother Emdadullah Raju's contribution to his career.

The repeated failures understandably dented the confidence of Bangladesh captain Ashraful, who surprised everybody by commenting that Javed Omar is the best opener to deal the new ball.

Although the thin-tank's sentiment was to go for the same opening pair for the third match in succession, Ashraful was desperate to bring Javed in place of Shahriar Nafees, who stayed with the team following the Test series because of the skipper's interest.

"Nafees was the highest scorer (33) in the first one-day to give us a good start but still, I prefer Javed because I believe he has the ability to survive against the new ball. Yes, Tamim also failed in both matches but I have the confidence on this guy," explained the 23-year-old yesterday.

Everyone was convinced about Tushar Imran's fate after the right-hander's failure in five innings but no one was in favour of Javed except Ashraful.

"I think Javed was picked up because the planning is to keep as many wickets as possible in the first twenty overs and that might be the reason for the captain's preferring Javed," said selector Akram Khan, who believes that Nafees is the future of the team.

Ashraful, however, said that they made the two changes for the final match with hopes to win at least one game in the series.

"We have to bat well if we want to return home with some solace. And we made the changes to boost our batting. We wanted to see someone like Riyad because Tushar failed to deliver in the last five innings although we had very high hopes on him," said Ashraful. Most of the Tigers might be distressed towards the end of a dour tour but there was a reason for 21-year-old all-rounder Riyad from Mymensingh to be excited as his dream to play in the national side comes true.

Lets see if JO can live up to his captain's wishes..

Kije koibar losen bhai. I echo with Ash's view on JO. I have been crying out for JO. We need someone with "Test cricket" mentality for the first 20 overs. JO fits perfectly for this role. I will always go with JO + (SN or Tamim). An attacking minded batsman and someone with low strike rate is the perfect combo for us. It's of course is an opinion. I think our boys panic when they see 30 runs for 4 wickets inside 12 overs and mentally they think it's already over. These boys are young. The only way can be motivated to come on the pitch and perform is if they don't lose hope. Losing early wickets puts pressure on the top orders and eventually we collapse. I really don't want to see no 5/6th batsman on the middle of the park after 4/5 overs. I'd rather see JO scoring 70 runs off 110 balls than see SN scoring 30 runs off 17 balls.
