Now we have the chance to play 13 players tomorrow. So While batting, we should have Shamshur and Mithun in; and while bowling we should have Razzak and Rajib in.

The dropped ones should be Mushy and Raqib.

The thing is, I don't really want a rookie keeper in the match against India, but if Mithun can show anything in the match against Sri Lanka, then I think we can have a new thought. Otherwise, I would sacrifice one hard-hitting batsman (if Mithun really is that) for a consistent keeper. Imagine Mithun playing and giving away extra 20-25 runs for inexperience, that would be a disaster.

And Raqib is just not the type of player naturally who'll make every single bad ball to the fence, and we need just the opposite of that; so he's off. He's a holding player but I think we got enough of that in the middle order.

One good thing about today's match is that Zunaed kinda got his touch back. That delivery was too good from Johnson, so it's acceptable. But he was able to match Tamim's blistering start, which is really good to see.

Tamim, Ash and Shakib played good, bravo! Riyad got kinda slow at the end, but still I'd live with that. Naeem is quite similar to Riyad in everything, so I would want him in too. So five of them should be in.

Mash really needs to keep his line and length tight like the first 3-4 deliveries in the first over. He shouldn't try much fancy stuff, as most of the time he's unsuccesful. As the main strike bowler, he's in but we need more from him desperately to have a chance against the biggies.

Rubel was impressive at the death overs, he really kept it tight and was unlucky to go for couple of boundaries. He should stay too.

Now I'm not really sure about how effective Rasel will be in these fast pitches coz he'd try to bowl slower and it's gonna be just of the perfect pace for the batsman to deal with. But he should get another go but Rajib should be given a chance too against SL. So I'd want to go with four pacers, just to see if Rajib can offer anything special in the bouncy pitches.

Razzak might be given a go too after seeing how Shak, Naeem and Riyad (tho got 4 wkts) were taken apart. So just an experiment.

So batting XI: 1. Tamim 2. Mithun 3. Zunaed 4. Ash 5. Shakib 6. Riyad 7. Naeem
8. Shamshur 9. Mortaza 10. Razzak 11. Rajib

For bowling: Rubel and Rasel can come in for any two of the fielders.

...phew, was a good match! First over I really went nuts..

... Well played, the tigers; just missed the Kangaroo Roast, but Lion Curry is the order for tomorrow ....galop!

At least we should give him another try. Not only because of his experience but also because of his 8 ball 27 against the dutch

Im worried about our balling department

why are we conceding so many runs. We always rely on our spinners and this time they are letting us down

How can Our Spinners Come BACK from that poor showings !!
Maybe we need Abdur Razzak

Im jealous after watching pakistani spinners doing well

OFF TOPIC: NZ beat India by 9 runs

New Zealand 170/7 (20/20 ov)

India 161/6 (20.0/20 ov)

Rifat · #34 June 1, 2009, 02:45 PM

please do not be too hard on the bowlers:

based on what i saw, the Australlian batters were really brilliant, if you were in that position, you would hav been hit for six too, they positioned themselves well for every shot! bowl it slow, bowl it fast they got it to the middle of the bat every time, and this warm up match was an indication of how both Australlia and Bangladesh are well-prepared to contend for the real deal!

i am not writing off rubel based on just this performance!

and let's look on the bright side, lower order batting (so called mistake) of not promoting naeem up the order had we not done that today, we would have done that agaisnt India and probably would cost us the game then, so we learn now better than never!

yesterday's game: i would give Bangladesh a 9.2 out of 10! yes, there were dropped catches, sometimes a bit too predicatable in bowling... and in a lightning batting pitch like this was a good wake up call for Bangldeshi bowling to reprioritize our strategy in the sense that each bowler has to be a thinking cricketer on how to bowl in 20/20 cricket...musch needed variation helps...the key is to bowl what the batsmen doesn't expect!

India has been relying on their openers to have an explosive start.

Gambhir and Sehwag are off form, they havent been great in the IPL, this is good news for us.

Murad · #36 June 1, 2009, 02:49 PM

All 3 subcontinent teams failed to chase today. We were the better one

Tomorrow all 4 of them will play each other. Let's see who wins!!

bujhee kom · #37 June 1, 2009, 02:53 PM

India and Pak bothe lost today! Pak lost heavily, probably will bounce back. India's loss was a close one, Ireland won against the Netherlands only by their captain Johnston's very good fielding and in super over! Now very excited about tomorrow's us vs. SL match! Although SL is a very strong breed as well and we usually look intimidated in front of them(SL) very easily, it's my personal opinion, maybe not true!
Go Bangladesh!!!

Yeah, totally! They are just talking about us now on that same channel!

fais · #39 June 1, 2009, 02:55 PM

a little off point but i really think 20-20 cricket is just as much a test of the skill in cricket as Test matches if not more so...the fact that everything happens fast and u have to be on your feet as a batsman and bowler unlike Tests where you try to recover.

Well, don't worry bhaijshab; Tamim will take care of the intimidating Malinga

simon · #45 June 1, 2009, 03:36 PM

I just want to see Sakib's "Jharu" shots against Murli & Mendis & I hope
Dilshan is not playing.
I believe it will be a good match.
Nothing wrong with Rakib,today he tried some good difficult shots & played accrdng to situation unlike Mushy.
But both can be usefull.
Ryad is so dffclt to dismiss.

BD-Shardul · #46 June 1, 2009, 03:36 PM

The key to win against India will be to put them bat first and restrict them within 160.

Jharu shot?!?!?!? That sweep he does?

cricket_pagol · #50 June 1, 2009, 03:56 PM

Tamim needs to convert his quick 20s to 50s... Hopefully Zunaed will step up as the second opener.
