After this match,, Bangladesh became more confident that they 'lost a winning match' instead of 'waking up and smelling the coffee that they are playing against a major force'. Thats a change. It never appeared in the match that India was winning before the last 10-12 overs. Given that,,, India should shape up for upcoming challenges outside the subcontinent. I will say again,, it seems like this Indian team is not even a shadow of what India used to be under Sorav,That india team was world beaters; This india team has to lose sleep over a match agaisnt Bangladesh,,when will they get that?

DhakaBlues,

The woes of Indian side present the BD team with an opportunity for greater things and this is the right time to grab it.

As an Indian supporter, i am sure Indian team will be back to it's best in an year or so.

I feel the same way too.

[Shaan]

All I can say to Shastri in reply is:
"Congratulations to Shastri & India.......

Well, considering that this Indian Team is playing poor cricket and had their first upset victory in recent times, it is the best oppurtunity for the home team (who are at peak of their success) to show that they can grab this oppurtunity and win a few matches (or at least 1) now. If they cant do it now, well well well it may be ..... BTW here is what the Indian team can do when they play somewhat good cricket. Enjoy

As long as you got that Lolit Modi......Niranjan Shah combo.........NO chance. Bring back Dada and Sachin as soon as possible.

Funny that all Indian fast bowlers are becoming slower version of Kumble...

Yes you are right, BD should not struggle to win against Bermuda.

Look Bermuda just caused an upset.

Look in the mirror next time my friend...its all in the mind

[BANTigress]

i thnk india is gettin big headed again for jus 1 win...dey might b in trouble...go tigers dis is a great chance 2 trash dem

[smashyboy]

If anything it will put more pressure on India than BD. India has not reached that kind of form yet.

[Tigers_eye]

With Sachin and Ganguli in the Team India will have a hard time to beat Ireland in their next series.

[Abd_Bakri]

well mr. shastri has been a big fan of bd cricket always.... soo i wouldnt criticize him in anyways.... he is just doing his job... rather than scaring us he is just trying to boost his own players... all said and done... they know what happened on thursday was a lucky escape.. they still know that bd can get big on them.... and INSHALLAH we will do so tomorrow...!!!

Completely agreed. Although, Ireland's playing very bad cricket these days...so that may help India secure some win.

[akabir77]

Like pointing would have said

"Srasri should think what his team needs to do. not about ours"

[woolfpacc]

I think Shastri has lost his mind, someone should show him the highlights from the world cup match.

Go Tigers go!@!

Overconfidence is not good. We know our limitations and he knows ours. That's why he said it.
