it will be a good match. murali and malinga will be threats but think we can handle them. only concern is the fast bowlers. they need to maintain line and length

SS · #52 June 1, 2009, 04:32 PM

I am disappointed with the bowling and see a big danger tommorrow against lankans. As usual we will struggle against the lions. Our bowling department overall doing horrible job as all lost their forms together!!! And fielding don't want to mention. Batting wise no comments as it's only 20 overs, if they can not survive 20 overs I have nothing to say. I wonder what they did for preparation all these times!

we rely a lot on our spinners and the many times that Sri Lanka has played us away from home - our spinners have received the treatment...so we have to watch out but i def. think we have a better T20 batting line up than them...hell our 9th batsman today is really more of a batsman than bowler

you are not survive 20 overs - we are not playing a 20 over test match...its supposed to be wham bam thank you mam although it would be nice to see our openers stay a tiny bit longer.

as to bowling - if the australian bowlers got hit for 9 runs and over by us (and actually much more before our lower order came in) then I really dont see much to be angry with out bowlers at for...the fielding on the other hand rlly needs some work - i find it disgraceful that we can drop simple catches over and over again.

Remove freaking roqibul, naeem, musfiq, rasel from our 2020 team . Because of these player we lost aginst Australia . Last time we lost aginst safrica. As long as they are in the team we gonna lose this is 2020 game not odi or test match

mash
rubel
rajib

really waiting for shamsur and mithun to spark. at the same time rajib should roar like his test performance. i think mahmudulah should be given rest, he has done much more than expected. lets play nayeem in his place, and razzaq should play too

I agree with you. Mush is a good keeper but not a good hitter against quality bowling. Naem is useless, his strike rate isn't that impressive in both T20 and ODI and his bowling was pathetic. Roqibul, he shouldn't even be in England, the selectors must be high. I really want Alok and Aftab in the side. If these two players come back we'll be winning matches more frequently.

1) Tamim
2) Junaid
3) Ash
4) Shakib
5) Riyadh
6) Kapali
7) Aftab
8) Mushfiq
9) Mash
10) Rasel
11) Rubel
If only Kapali and Aftab comes back.

the problem with them is that they are not good hitters of the ball...we need an aftab badly...in t 20, u need batsman who can hit boundaries...roqibul is a good talent...but mushfiq is a liability...he cant play pace...he looked like a kid front of brett lee...u got wickets in your hand, its a practice match...why dont u hit or even try to hit boundaries...whats wid the blockin...enuff of mushfiq...

Thanks for the good read.

If anyone in Canada has Rogers cable, the practice matches are on a free preview on Channel 499.

You will be ableto see SL/BD practice match, I saw part of BD innings against australia this morning, they could have made 200 runs if Sakib had stayed to the end.

patriot · #66 June 1, 2009, 06:30 PM

Razzak should come in at any cost in place of Rubel . Spinners as seen in today's match can lower the run rate and provide those much needed breakthroughs.

did you watch the his bowling at all?? i think he bowled much better than mashrafee in the last few overs..he saved at least 15 runs in the last over..

MohammedC · #68 June 1, 2009, 07:20 PM

Give Rajib a game. He is the only one without any practice game so far.

Shouldn't we bat first and give a big total ...

One World · #70 June 1, 2009, 09:10 PM

Kiwis keep their 100% rate against the wheel-flagged "dumberers". We need to break the shackle against Srilanka. I personally am not missing Aftab in this particular instance.

Right, bat first and then get Dilshan early.

So what's the verdict? Are we winning tomorrow? I desire answers.

We should not let Sana or Sangakara settle down. Ramanayake should give special tips about his home boys.
