Ignoring the one-dayers

[IanW]

As all three Captains in the series have pointed to the dew as being the critical factor, I'm ignoring the coin-toss competition laughingly called a "one day tri-series".

Wake me up when the tests start.

Ian bro: If BD loses even after winning the toss (God forbid), should I wake you up?

[IanW]

BD-Shardul,

No, I know the Tigers (much as I love them) can lose.

Ian

PS If we bat first and win, wake me up.

Harbi figures were 10-1-47-3. he had no problem gripping the ball. Why? He is immune to dew? What about Shakib's figure? 10-0-43-0. And Abdur Razzak's 10-0-37-0. I thought the spinners couldn't hang on to the ball in conditions like this. This is all in a batting track.

I know dew creates problems for the bowlers but not as much as it is being made out to be.

well for the bd spinners ... shakib gave 43 runs and razzak 37 compared to harbajan who gave 47! wicket wise i remember both taranga and sanga gave their wicket away to harbakan just like they gave their wicket away to the bd bowlers! kadamby gave his wicket away just like imrul did to lanka bowlers for no reason at all!!... you see all this batsmen gave their wicket away with no credit to the bowler! you should see the replay of india match! bd spinners did not bowl that bad and one advantage india had was since dilsan was not there they exposed lanka's weak batting line up sooner then BD was able to (but then again we lost the game in the first 6-10 overs for our so called futur pacers!!)-_-

Maybe the toss itself should be called the "tri-series", not the cricket itself?

[wiseshah]

i think we lost the game because of 2 pacer: shafiul and rubel, they helped srilanka to set up start, then spinners had nothing to do

[revolver]

next match rasel is playing thank god shaiful aint

[BANFAN]

I'm not expecting Rasel to do anything great. I think he will be beaten badly. Shahadat could have been better.
