Another Thread: "We are looking to win"-Bangladesh Captain - Page 3

Antora · #51 January 20, 2010, 08:48 PM

I am so confused. I dont know what to expect!
Bangladesh is a team where they can be all out for 180, they are also a team who can win against Big Giants! I support Shakib on what he said.
But I do hope they are not over confident! If we can win this test match... it will not only make my day or my month..BUT IT WILL MAKE MY YEAR! It woould also teach Shewag a very big lesson

The comments made by the Indian team during this test ( and before) has really made me hungry for a win against them. I don't remember India being so furious! They were a team I respected with my heart and now that respect has gone down the drain- i can't Stand them ( indian cricket team).
I say
win!! WIN!! WIIIINNN!!!!!

. In my opinion though, he should've declared with the lead around 375, if only to account for the time left in the game.

The timing of the declaration wasn't bad actually. You can still bowl us out - you have 98 overs to do so and that is an eternity for most of our batsmen.

Had he declared with a lead of 375, we'd need to get a bit more than 300 to win today. Huge difference, psychologically.

Now that is the captain we have been looking for, facing #1 team in the world, 348 with 8 wickets left, 90 overs to survive,who cares? I love Shakib!

Good thing was we lasted (!) til the fifth day and avoided innings defeat but wait Test two will be an innings defeat.. .I have the crystal ball right infront of me.. oh wait, you dnt need a crystal ball to predict Bangladesh.

just after lunch - i must have been the only realistic fan alive!

As expected, Shakib could not back his word with his bat.
