Damn. Stopped me.

Ayything our bowlers can have a go at. We should target 300. But if we get 220+, that's something out bowlers can work with.

Jadukor · #**177** March 9, 2011, 01:55 AM

agreed..we can target somewhere around 220... if after 40 overs we are in a good position with only few wickets down then we can push on to 250... with wickets in hand 50 runs off the last 5 is very much possible [although NZ would say that's still chump change]

Aye but the English won't have Shoaib and Razzaq bowling lollypops at us. And Matt Prior is no Kamran Akmal.

Never bat first. If we are forced to bat first then we will make something between 50 and 180-190 runs. Our target can be 220+ but it doesnt matter. We might as well have a target of 1000 runs, We will nevr achieve it lol

If we bowl first then TRY to limit them within 330, we can say 250 but lets be honest, England can easily make 300 against us.

MORAL OF THE STORY. If we fall, fall with dignity like pakistan, 45/5 and then 192 all out! that is restoration of dignity, we dont even have that!

After this WC, we should take a break from Cricket. Clear out entire BCB. New coach, new players and start a fresh!

Then why wasnt Chris Tremlet in the squad instead of broad?

cricket_king · #**185** March 9, 2011, 06:25 AM

Whether Broad or Tremlett is playing is not an issue. The fact is, we can capitulate against ANY bowler, and alternatively hammer the crap out of ANY bowler. So if it's a good day, both Tremlett and Broad will get what's coming to them. If it's a bad day, another humiliation is on the cards.

Adn yes, ads's not bad. Acting's not bad either.

Ajfar · #**187** March 9, 2011, 08:46 AM

According to Tamim's FB there is a 70% chance that SN will play on friday instead of Ash.

so.. if BD bats first they will score 50-190 and possibly lose by 8 wickets and if they field they'll concede 300+ and probably lose by 100 runs. Whatever happens they'll replace the current squad with a bunch of 16 year olds with a Morrocan coach who they can't understand so we may repeat this loop over to the next WC. Kichuuuu pessimism to bhai!

it took me 4 years to come up with my first post in banglacricket. this better work

Roni_uk · #**195** March 9, 2011, 12:53 PM

Good one 22 Yards. I have seen it yesterday. I was gonna say welcome to BC but looks like you joined before me, so I won't.

Anyway our coaches always say we should improve from the last match, so targeting 59 should be an improvement

Thanks. I am a regular here in terms of reading posts

Really hoping for a positive result on Friday.

Murad · #**199** March 9, 2011, 01:02 PM

Only Riyad or another bowler can replace Ashraful, not Shahriar Nafees. He can replace someone else from the top 5.
