If I remember correctly,few years back a team walked out of the field to proove grievences against an umpire!! nothing hpand to them. Why cant we do that?
Theres really nothing more left for me to say, they should stage a walkout and not return for play after tea. this is becoming more than rediculous. Im sure the umpires wouldn't miss in pointing at a Bangladesh forfiet, not in the way they have been missing the plumb lbw appeals.
I mean whats the point playing anyway if the whole establishment is against you, there is no way a team can win like that.
anyway im gonna stop following this game as it's already been handed to England on a plate by the umps just like the second ODI.

"Not sure whether Shakib Al Hasan's bowling will lead his side to victory, but what a marathon spell from the captain, leading from the front! Should be part of Bangladeshi cricketing folklore with his 57-27-99-4," writes Rosh from India. Definitely agree with you there, it was an unbelievable effort from him and despite the loss of morale with the umpiring decisions not going in their favour (rubbed in by the 1000s of emails we've received about those), Bangladesh are not out of this game yet.

if i were shakib's position, believe me, i would have walked out and have a long discussion with Siddons and Match referee. coz This umpires crossed their limit. if u dnt learn to raise ur voice, u will be oppressed in ur whole life for sure !
The gr8 sunil gavaskar also once walked out the field with his partner to protest against Ump's wrong decision.
the major fact is that we don't have big mouth in media. nobody blatantly speak for us.
When India faced bad umpiring while playign against Aussie Shunil Gavaskar went furious.
"This is nonsense, Utter nonsense" that was his direct protesting speech while commentating at that moment. moreover Indian media play big role in this circumstances. what about us. playing as third world nation we are out of extra support from other aspects.
Sakib should mention about these decisions in the award ceremony as well as in the press conference. May be he will be reprimanded or will be banned for couple matches, but at least he can bring some attention to this matter to the cricket world.
There is no need to stage a walk out, a walk out by an Aussie/Indian team is something else, but seriously, no one will care if Bangladesh team walks out. There will be more negatives than positives for us.
Also, I do not think having some LBW decisions against you is bad enough to walk out and blame the captain of not having guts. Walking out after few wrong decisions doesn't require you to have guts, it just requires you to be stupid.

They will get an hefty fine if we decide to walk out. Well lets not walk out but Shakib should at least hold up the match to discuss with the umpires and the coach to make a point. This is just getting ridiculous.
No need to walk out..
we are always at the shot end of the stick and this time it's no different.
Our media needs to bring it up every time this happens to us and that is the only way our voices will be heard.
I would protest differently on-field by placing fielders near boundary and give ball to Mushy/Jahurul with no wicket keeper. There would be no attempt from fielders to stop a ball at boundary. I would continue this for at least two overs.
