I really hope the preparations begin immediately after this series - fitness, working on T20 skills, etc. We'll need it even more as there is likely to be no BPL in 2014. I would love to see some real drive from our players, whether it is the old hands like Mashrafe and Razzak who have played in several ICC Tournaments and could be playing in their last or younger recruits like Mominul and Anamul, who haven't and are seeking to make names for themselves.

I don't know if they view this first round business as being a sleight or not, but I hope it spurs them on. Otherwise, ATMR's jibes about losing to teams like Turkmenistan and Seychelles may become a reality!

On a serious note, Tea20 is not real cricket, real cricket is Test & ODI .

shutorang even if we lose to Afghan or other asso , that doesn't mean they are better.

I agree with Simon bhai

In t20s even a hack like Pollard outplay the great ones so I don't care much at all

Bring in more T20 matches for Sri Lankan series, lets say 3. Invite any of England, South Africa to come play a tri or regular t20 series. practice with the tough not the weak. Plus, unless SA or ENG are loaded, they would love to come and get used to the conditions. Dont bother inviting the associates for practice. If ICC is playing it dirty, we will have to go with it. If our Tamim-Mushy-Shakib-Nasir-Gazi-Mash combo plays regardless of form, the associates shouldnt stand a chance. Its time us fans become confident of our team and its high time our players are confident of their abilities.

Shartaz · #**181** October 27, 2013, 04:19 PM

Unbelievable.

This is probably the FIRST time in the history of mankind that the host nation of a major event of a major global sport has to qualify for the tournament.

Roni_uk · #**182** October 27, 2013, 04:34 PM

It will be funny if we don't qualify ... Tournament without the host

Our players are. Browse through this thread and read their comments. They are already peeing their pants.

Who the hell is scared to whoop Australia and West Indies in turning conditions? Im not even counting the first round games as a part of this tornament. Its more like practice for us. Thanks to ICC, we can have a little more practice than the big boys. Love ICC to death.

AAHHHH DIttto.

Tiger444 · #**187** October 27, 2013, 05:46 PM

Well its official. Lets hope this ends up being a blessing in disguise for our guys. Theyve been beyond poor in the T20 World tournaments with just 1 win in 4 tournaments. Our players got themselves in this position and they need to start proving themselves in this format.

Like others said, we should be able to get in to the main draw. If we can't even beat the likes of Ireland and Afghanistan then we don't deserve to be playing in the main tournament. Period.

Night_wolf · #**188** October 27, 2013, 08:28 PM

we better ready the dark banner just in case!

I am more worried about them being over-confident.

There are 2 Asifs. The optimistic one and the critical one.

the latter disappeared because of our performance against new Zealand.

and it was a shame that we lost to tnt B team

Bingo. My only question is will these same cricketing reasons apply should the board that gave us IPL have their team fall in the rankings? If so, it's all good I say.

Why people are comparing BD's T20 ranking with AFG and IRE? All T20 games BD have played with TEST playing nations who are far better than BD in T20. Where as AFG and IRE played all their T20 games against lower ranked associates (mostly AFG and IRE among themselves). Does this comparison make any sense at all? BD should have been given automatic entry into T20 worldcup.

mufi_02 · #**196** October 28, 2013, 10:22 AM

Should have would have bole ar labh nai. Reality is we have to qualify. So BCB should arrange as many t20s as possible before March.

But T20 is such a critical game. It's not like test and ODIs where you can practice and get into rhythm. One bad over or one misfield can decide the outcome of the match. So I am not too confident about BD.

MHRAM · #**197** October 28, 2013, 10:50 AM

Well lets be optimistic about playing at home. we have done well in home in the past

because its home thats why we are worried..we tend to fold under pressure at home..that 58 still hunts me

there are lots of posts about how icc will be a laughing stock if hosts fail to qualify and how stadiums will remain empty..dis these people forgot about how jam packed the two quater finals were of 11 wc?

The new batch looks better than than the previous one. We have gazi momin and nasir who are good under.pressure.

about your 2nd statement. its different. Those were only.2 matches and not around 30 neutral matches. Add to that last time.around it was the first world cup in Bangladesh and not a t20 world cup. but I expect good.crowd nonetheless

Inshallah, it might just turn out to be a good thing for us.

We should back ourselves against associates on our home ground and progressing to the Super 10 with 3 wins and more importantly the momentum could give us advantage when facing the direct entrants.

The pressure of the expectation of home games ?

Well, what differs from 2011 is the solidity and unity of this team.
