My biggest fear is that they will not even think about win. They will only play with one thing in mind, crossing 200.
I have never objected to a lose as long as they played for a win. My guess is that this is not going to be one of those matches.
So, don't get your hope high just to be crashed. A win is not on the radar of any of the players this time.

Today is the biggest game for Bangladesh. S.A is known for their weakness in playing spin (thats a definite victory on the cards, Netherlands game can be walk in the park). Today is the most important game.

Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.
Vince Lombardi
That’s all I want and I believe, if our tigers want to win today, they will. Confidence is at a low every where. I just had a friend call me asking me to come over to his place at 3:30 am to watch the game. I was a bit reluctant to go over. He said dost..win or lose..we’ll watch it together. That did it for me. Confidence took a boost. Our boys need to gather inspiration, motivation, confidence, conviction whatever you want to call it from anywhere possible. After what happened last weekend the structure needs to be strengthened. No matter how good of a driver you are, after an accident you are always a bit shaky to drive. The best way to go about it is being as normal as possible. Take it as any other game. Our team is a talented. They need to focus on the basics today. Get your basics right and you are in business.
So far my observation on England’s batting- they don’t do anything extraordinary, nothing outrageous or audacious. They have a plan- keep it simple, play proper cricketing shots and they have been really good at it, hence put up high scores in 3 of their game. So if our boys can keep it simple in the bowling department it will be a good contest between bat and ball. I have been away from Bangladesh for quite a while now and haven’t watched a lot of games played in Chittagong. There’s always a trend in pitches, I don’t know what the trend is in Chittagong. I am sure the experts have seen it and have an idea. Depending on the conditions, a length has to be picked on for bowling. It also comes down to the bowler’s aptitude how soon he figures out what line and length to bowl on judging the conditions. Our pacers have to be really smart in picking their spots. We need breakthroughs in the opening spell. Our spinners are well respected world wide. Just keep doing what you are doing.
From the batting department a lot depends on our openers today. England has had a setback by losing Broad. Tremlett is an excellent bowler. The question is how is he going to fare in our pitches? A 6’9” guy will get some bounce on the slowest pitch on earth. This is also his first game in the world cup. The question is how is he going to adapt to the conditions? We’ll find out soon enough. Anderson is a world class swing bowler. It will be crucial how our openers tackle him. Bresnan is a workhorse. He will just keep coming at you. Swann is the best spinner in the world now. You have to respect him. I have always said Tamim should play his natural game, but today he needs to be a little cautious. Set some rules within himself- leave out balls outside off, get settled in, get his eyesight set. Play the game with sustained aggression. Opening stand is crucial. That will set the tone of the game. Again our tone ranges from whistling to a total vocal fry depending on our players mindset. When it comes down to middle order (hopefully after proper opening stand) goal should be to milk one’s and two’s. There are couple of rudimentary shots which can be played against spin with minimal risks. Everything depends on how our opponent is bowling. When there’s extraordinary bowling, you need to graft it out. Treat every ball on their merit. You have to be patient enough to wait for the bad balls. Our boys need to realize -you cant score 1500 runs in 50 overs. I am not going to talk about power play batting. Let’s have a proper opening and middle order score first. We need to get our basics right. That’s the key to win this game.
Lets all hope that our boys have clarity in their mind. Lets hope they win today for their sake not for anyone else.

We will be in the Quarter Finals IF:
1) We beat Netherland (most likely) & England loses against WI
2) If We beat Neds and SA (SA would be tough) And England beats WI
We have a pretty good chance of making it to the QF. Let's pray that WI beats England. But if England beats WI, we need to win the remaining two games in order to qualify for the next round b/c our NRR is low
