I think we will win tomorrow, so the mood lightens up a bit before the Asia Cup clash with India!

Arey bhai, if we can't beat a SL without Dilshan and Sanga in the line up, we might as well play the associates forever!

[Night_wolf]

Sanga Jaya Dill nai, SL already won the series..they have nothing to lose..kalke khobor ase

[MohammedC]

So SL wants to humiliate us before the Asia Cup by playing there half strength team.

[Jadukor]

Naeem kaalke duck marbey.. we hyped him up too much

Lol...we certainly did..

We badly need him to get some confidence before Asia cup. He will be vital for our Asia cup success

[epitaph]

Dilshan is injured, but judging by his batting so far, it won't be missed much. Sanga not playing will be huge.

For us, Shakib needed a break to think things through - for both on-the-field and off-the-field reasons. Tamim and Mashrafee are still not 100% and should be rested for Asia Cup.

My XI:
Shamsur, Anamul, Mominul, Mushfiqur, Naeem, Nasir, Sohag, Arafat, Shafiul/Mahmudullah, Rubel, Al-Amin

We need to find a decent bowling all-rounder so that we can replace Mahmudullah/Sohag when they're off form.

[mufi_02]

Naeem will come for Shakib, so Riyad can't be dropped now right? Riyad er moton kopal jodi amader hoito.

[ReZ_1]

We got to bring some players outside the 15 men squad.. This squad is filled up with some losers

[Shehwar]

They are without Jaya, Dilu, Sanga and we are without Shak, Tamim and Razzak! Even match! We aren't full strength either!!

Drop his arse for Shafiul. Riyad's batting isn't worth crap now.

But of course that will never happen. Mushfiq and co will stick with "Riyad bhai," and Bangladesh playing three pacers will turn the world upside down.

[MohammedC]

Tamim may play tomorrow.

[simon]

meyeson jei shunchey Sanga nai shathey shathey shahosh koira MT khulchey, ekhon abar pochtaitasey Sakib nai shuina, he he , bhalo hoise

anyway, finally a match on a week end, shukur alhamdulillah

who will he replace?
Kopa,Vijay, Momin all got runs.

I say let him rest, let him give company to his dosto Sakib during this tough times and then Tamim will come back in form against his favourite team India.

[Moh899]

hello guys, can we focus on the match? this is going to be some match. test of the youngsters for both teams.

[Gowza]

Play naeem instead of riyad and anamul keeps a spot in the XI batting at 3 with mominul taking the #5 spot.

[MohammedC]

This thread should be non-sticky.

[NoName]

FFS if we can't win a match against them when they benched Sanga/Mahela/Dilshan, at home, we should be embarrassed ( if we haven't already )

[Jadukor]

Are we bringing in reinforcements for the missing/injured players? Another in form batsman like Kayes would have been handy

[Habib]

I think Faroque might bring Phorhad Reza as the replacement

[Zunaid]

1 Anamul Haque (wk), 2 Shamsur Rahman, 3 Mominul Haque, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), 5 Naeem Islam, 6 Mahmudullah 7 Nasir Hossain, 8 Sohag Gazi, 9 Arafat Sunny, 10 Shafiul Islam, 11 Rubel

[Zunaid]

Sri Lanka wins toss. BD to bat.
