An excellent report by coach Ian. Lots of lessons to be learned and he also gives a shout out to Elias to have been MOM.

I like what Ian said about Gayle:

Quote:

My tribute here is for the Dhaka team spirit and togetherness that we have shown throughout. We do not rely on one player here or one man there. But the player we will ALL miss is Chris Gayle. The man is a legend and when he finally goes, the BPL will be sadder without him.

Thanks Ian!
I must say, good coaches win matches!

What happened there coach? Can't chase 145? What's Aftab doing in the team? How come Rana Naved fires all around the world but all of a sudden becomes the crappiest fast bowler in the BPL? Must be all Rafique's fault, he's the bowling coach after all. Good luck for the upcoming games.

Equinox · #65 February 16, 2012, 11:08 AM

How come Dhiman and Nazim are not getting a game even after repeated failures from Ash, Aftab, Anamul?

Tigers_eye · #66 February 16, 2012, 11:20 AM

Dear coach,
Does this show how much Mash means to this team? Or Rajshahi's plan and execution was better? Always eager to read your thoughts. I think down the streach Abdul Razzaq, M Samuels and Sami's experience was the difference.

What about the extras? 3 vs 16?

Someone is angry I presume. Give credit to the opponents. Mo Rafique is class so are all other coaches in this team. Azhar-Mash missing the game is a big factor. Also you want to test the waters (bench strength) to know your team better when it matters the most. So that when Semis come, they can field the best team. my 2 cents.

Not angry at all. Khulna supporter here, so this result actually makes me happy. Just surprised that a team with world class talent like Anamul and Ashraful and world class coaching staff wouldn't be able to chase down 145. It's baffling.

simon · #69 February 16, 2012, 11:39 AM

lol,Asif bhai
Mash had every1 under control, he has been proactive and in fact yelling at every1, which kept every player very much in the game.

simon · #70 February 16, 2012, 11:47 AM

dear Ian Pont, Please bring these changes to this team,otherwise we won't go to far,

-if Mash recovers,he should replace Rana
-Azhar should come back too, Nazmul should stay,
-Aftab should have been replaced by Nazim long time ago,
-Kervezee shouldn't be anywhere in the team, he looked completely lost.
-if possible replace Ashraful with any1, this guy can't bowl, can't score runs, good fielder though, but we can't have some 1 only for fielding.

Rubbing it in then, HHS. Khulna supporter as well. Lets go Shakib finish them all.

What if Mash takes a little more time?

As for Kervezee, this is his first innings in a foreign soil, where the pitches are nothing close to what he has ever seen. People fall down. What happens next is to be seen. Can they get up or just lay low? Just giving them a try for once and taking the rug out of them is not a solution. Plus had you been the coach of SL national team, the world would have never seen what talent Attapatu was. There are so many cases like that.

"The BPL results show how volatile T20 cricket actually is. A good innings here and a bad performance there can tip the scales either way. Last night against Duronto Rajshahi, it was the spinners who made the vital difference. "

Just as I thought. The extras did play a role. Thanks for the column. Always a pleasure to read.
