My team,

Rajin
Nafees
Aftab
Ashraful
Bashar
Reza
Rafiq
Pilot(can come earlier if requires)
Murtuza
Razzak
Rajib

Basically, want to see a replacement of JO with RS.

[sar2005]

Oh maan! I could not follow today's match as I had a Danish league match today. But BD batting looked terrible. Same old story of loosing 5 wickets before 80. A million of thanks to Pilot and Reza (and of course Rafique) for rescuing us today. But if things go like this, we are gonna have a very tough serries.

Don't understand why our batting looks so shacky against zim, specially, when many of our friends in BC said that their bowling is very week. Let's hope our top orders starts scoring some runs. I want to see 100 for the lose of 1 wicket!!

Come on BD............go and kill them!!!!!!!!

Yes. BD needs to kill Zim. But our batting is too horrible and unpredictable.

[Rabz]

total annihilation..
prove that 1st match was a fluke and cuz of the rustiness of our players.

[sadi]

Our batsmen don't know how to build an innings... just look at aftab... gets a start everytime... plays really well for a while and then get out... you gotta work hard for your runs in international cricket... once you get in, you have to make it count... bangladeshi players don't realize that yet...

[bapzmania]

naaah our bowling is still weak than our batting......we need a world class bowler....like murli..lolz

[nasifkhan]

My team,

Rajin
S.Nafees
Aftab
Ashraful
Bashar
F.Reza
Rafiq
Pilot
Mortuza
Rassel
Rajib

[sar2005]

Now that Bashar is out for 4/5 weeks, let's bring Sakib inside the eleven.

[Ahmed_B]

Habibul bashar is no more the captain... he's injured. Pilot will captain for the rest of the series:

[sadi]

that means mushfiqur rahim is not getting any matches in zimbabwe or kenya unless he plays as a batsman

[PoorFan]

Bring one of Rajin, Sakib or even Mushi in the team, no need to panic against this Zim. Give the captaincy to Mashud or Rafique, every thing will be OK I hope.

[Shafi]

yesterday when the match was going on, i was facing trouble accessing the forum and posting, has anyone also faced it?

[akabir77]

yes it was down for a while too. I guess BC has link with star sports

[sadi]

BC is usually down or really slow when we need it the most... I guess the reason behind is there are so many people visiting during the game time...

[Miraz]

Pilot is the worst Captain of Bangladesh. A probe committee recommended not to make him captain in future after some serious allegation during 2003 World Cup.

Its a real bad move to make him Captain again. He may try to do the same.

[Spitfire_x86]

Pilot is okay as stand-in captain for a few matches. I don't think there's anything to worry about captaincy.

Apart from that incident in WC 2003 I never heard anything bad about Masud. I believed he was a true teamman.

We all do mistake cos we all are human being. We always try to improve or we have got the ability to improve ourselves. I believe Masud is no except from this. So there is no point of thinking that he might do the same. Remember 2003 and 2006 is not same for our cricket.

[thasan]

yes, personally i like pilot as he is one of our most consistent performers.
hopefully he has learnt from his mistakes (if he had ever done something wrong in the wc).

The first thing even before someone learn from his mistake is:

a) first realize that he had made a mistake and then
b) admit that he had made a mistake.

Now as a fan of Pilot, it you are not sure that he had done any thing wrong, what makes you think that Pilot realized and under stand what mistakes he had done in last world cup?

That probe was just get some names and make a scapegoat and show people that "yeah! we have power". Typical BD probe on anything. Pilot partied late at night before a Game. Yet his own performance in batting didn't dip. He missed couple of stumping chances or catches I can't remember that well. What did the probe say about the Coach then? I recall nothing. The results of the matches we lost in WC would not have changed even if Pilot did not party that night. We had zero fruitful preparation leading upto the tournament. And also, an unproven coach who didn't care for the team. That was the Management's fault. And we bangladeshies rarely accept our failures in public, expecially if we hold an office.

পাইলট শুধু রাতভর পার্টি নয়, এ ছাড়াও আরো কিছুতে জড়িত ছিল। তদন্ত কমিটি ম্যাচ পাতানোর মত মারাত্মক ব্যাপারে পাইলট এর সংশ্লিষ্টতার কথা ধারণা করেন।

he probably took some bribe from kenya so that they go on to next round... you missed that one

[al Furqaan]

I don't think there's anything to worry about captaincy

ditto...

bashar's captaincy...anyone can captain like that...as far as other things its only his batting that we will miss, and then again, he isn't an ODI batting wizard

did he get convicted?
Typical character of corrupted mind of easy way to cash money.
All I care, is to direct the team and finish up this tour. For few days he should restrain from anything.
