BANGLACRICKET TOUR COVERAGE!!

sigh..........First!

[Zeeshan]

Bangladesh will not climb the T20 rankings even if they win 2-0. Sri Lanka will cede the No. 1 spot to India if they lose 2-0.

Ticket sales are very low due to complex purchase process. No wonder 80% of the stadium remains empty when thousands of fans stays outside in long lines:

It takes 6 hours for the authority to fill up a 10,000 capacity stadium, where as in the USA it takes less than one hour to fill up 100,000 seat stadium. When it comes to efficiency, we are worst in the world.

Maybe a private company should be given charge to sell the tickets, and maybe there has to be incentive to fill up the stadiums.

Absolutely! First you have to create that idiotic ucash account. Then you have to put money and pay through it.

Secondly, each stands has different locations to purchase tickets from. WTF? Suppose I am at (for Dhaka only not CTG) say I am at Dhanmondi and all Southern Stands are sold, then I have to go to Uttara via 9 billion hour traffic jam to purchase Northern Stands or VIP and if I change my mind to get Eastern then to Banani.

What the hell is wrong with us??!?!?

Bunch of incompetent fools. Another stupid thing was Jamuna Future Park where you have to buy coupons to buy food from food court. LOL! but i digest..

[BD_TigerZ]

Gazi, Ullah, Rubel and mash shouldn't even be in the squad.

[BD_TigerZ]

Tamim
Shamsur
Mominul
Shakib
Anamul
Nasir
Shabbir
Mash
Gazi/Ullah
Arafat
Al Amin

[MHRAM]

I am going to watch the this match.

And this Ucash account thing is piss poor! I asked someone to prepare a Ucash account and after a lot of trying, he still has not been able to receive the tickets for tomorrow's match because it says the server is busy. What a moronic thing to do! I am now forced to buy tickets from the black market which is 300 more than the usual price Why isn't the BCB noting this?

[SS]

jottoshob nekami shuru hoiche...against no.1 T20 team BD has to play there 1000%...otherwise there is no way to win against SL...they are just too good and their T20 specialists always perform
and on top of it this is our worst format

[BD_TigerZ]

Anamul should play as keeper and batsmen...and if Mominul plays it should be at 3.

[riajul]

Good luck for the TIGERS.

LOL..that made me chuckle!

[Night_wolf]

Sri Lanka (likely) 1 Kusal Perera, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Mahela Jayawardene, 4 Kumar Sangakkara, 5 Dinesh Chandimal (capt & wk), 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Seekuge Prasanna/Angelo Perera, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Sachitra Senanayake, 11 Lasith Malinga

this is a tough team to beat!

[ReZ_1]

Nice thread! hard work put in there..

Sl t20 team indeed looks dangerous for us.

But I wonder whom they will choose Gazi or m.ullah

[BD_TigerZ]

Bat mullah at 11..so he doesn't affect our chances..even al amin is better at hitting it.

[zunaid_bd]

Jaywardene injured !

[Jadukor]

@Nekre
shane warne koi tomar test team e

On topic
I really hope we give Shabbir and Mithun a chance to see what they are capable of. I would like to see Mominul rested and Anamul given a chance as well.

[roman]

1 Tamim (if he is not available then Anamul)
2 Shubho
3 Shakib
4 Nasir ( they should promote him)
5 Mithun
6 Riyad
7 Shabbir
8 Gazi
9 Mash
10 Al Amin
11 Sunny

shane warne nai!(vettory edged out shane as i wanted a spin bowling allrounder lower down the order), amito likhsie biased all time xi!..it contains players i saw and loved along with players i thought i couldn't left(Ian botham for example..i wanted a pace bowling allrounder in my squad and his name came along as i couldn't find anybody suitable whom i saw play cricket and is better or can do as good as botham...same reason bradman missed out as i saw dravid play and i think he can take that number 3 place)

[mufi_02]

Tamim toh rag korse ekhon ki o khelbe na khelbe nah? We should chase in T20s. Let them bat first and try to get them within 150-160.

[Saifulsohel]

Saw in 71 tv that mahela is out of the tour due to injury.

[Tiger444]

Looks like the keeper spot is still undecided between Mithun and Anamul and then the last spot will be between Shabbir and Riyad. Then with the pacer's spot, Al-Amin, Rubel and Farhad will have to battle for the last spot. Interested to see what XI they pick in the end.

It'll be a tough match no doubt. Even though SL is ranked #1, we did almost beat them the last time we played. It should be a tight contest. All the players selected will have to be on their A game.

[simon]

I will take Vijay as keeper batsman rather than Mithun.
I want Nasa to be promoted, in T20 there is no time to waste, TI,Kopa,Shakib,Nasa .......

I'm pretty sure we will put up a very good fight & even win it if not lose it.
