Usually I like watching BD bat more than they bowl. But today for some reason I wasn't really paying attention while they were batting. I was just waiting for the 2nd inning. Weird.

But you must understand cricket is a team game and you are playing for your country and at all times you must keep the teams best interest at play. Which is maximizing the teams chances of winning.

What Anamul did was clearly selfish, crystally evident by how he just started hitting RIGHT after getting his century. Had he played with the teams best interest, who knows maybe we have scored 320+ or maybe he would have gotten out and team collapse to less than what we got. But that's not the point, the point is to play for your team and win.

I'll finish by reminding you of what happened when Tendulkar played for his elusive 100th 100. Just in case you forgot, the mighty India lost to its little brother.

I rest my case. I'm rooting for Bangladesh. I just hope we win. That is all.

Sorry, I was away from my computer but I don't know where to start.

My question to you is, does every batsman in the team have the same role? Mashrafe's batting role is to clobber sixes, Tamim gives us a flying start etc. Anamul's was to hold up one end - we know a collapse was always imminent. Would you all not have cussed him out if he gave away his wicket, calling him brainless, moronic, bekub etc? The 'intent' might have been there - but it would have resulted in diddly squat.

I think fans have become accustomed to seeing people like JS and Ash bat where, if they are in good touch, show 'intent' and go bang bang bang when getting to their milestone. Unfortunately, that will, by its very nature, be short-lived and such performances will be very, very intermittent. However, this is considered to be 'unselfish' batting. I'm sorry but give me this selfish batting any day over glorious 30s (or 60s even.)

The approach you and some others advocate is the precise reason why we have often spectacularly collapsed in the past despite building a good foundation. It is this exact mindset which has caused players of the caliber of Tamim and Shakib to get out repeatedly in the 50-100 bracket and the former, in particular, falling before the 40th over.

Finally, the dichotomy between batting in ODIs and Tests is not as clear cut as you and Tiger-ess are trying to suggest.

[Dilscoop]

Those 3-4 people that complained about Anam probably want the WI to win just so they can have another go at it.

[Sohel]

BTV rudely interrupts the game with yet another propaganda break, this time in Bangla. Switching to C9.

[MyRoom]

I just hope they don't bowl Naeem in this match.

[al-Sagar]

bhaloi eri majhe gayle o out hoye gese .......

[Sohel]

Did NOT understand that boundary ball outside off. Simply too easy for MS to get to.

Yes, but may be Mash is in rhythm to get a long spell in, and he bowls bad in death overs... Gazi should be kept for the batting PP and death overs...

Abul should have been in since the ball is new...

[Eshen]

Mushfiq opened up the field too early

[22Yards]

Don't worry jeff Abul is a batsman indeed.

[Sohel]

We need Kanta.

Here comes Raju ... 4 hoy nai

[Murad]

poor raju. stupid fielder. anamul naki?

[MyRoom]

We should've picked Rubel, Nazmul or Shafiul instead of Abul.
