I have a feeling that we will not do bad in this series. Hoping something good from Mr Hammer.

Our out of form players seemed to do well in the practice match

TIGER FRIENDS!!
How is everyone? i see some people mentioned the NZ series in the first page and i'd like to address that. For me it was a very bitter pill to swallow...first test we were totally under prepard, lost the toss and bowled absolute rubbish. They got 500 and we were on the back foot..then we came out to bat and collapsed like idiots..but in the second innings our attacked rolled them out for 150 but their first innings lead was too much and we lost.
Second test we finally played a balanced side and guess what? we dominated them for the whole test and won by TEN WICKETS...everything was good until we heard the stupid selectors and coach decided to change a winning side and play a batsman less in the third game..that single decision cost us the series..that and our board banning Narine because he came back a day late from the ipl ...it was a total joke but thankfully the selectors have been sacked and now it's looking like the coach is being sacked too..so happy days .
As for predictions!!..i think our attack is looking very dangerous these days..Roach, Taylor, Holder and Narine will be a match for anyone...while Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Chanderpaul and Blackwood can handle themselves with the bat..it should be a fun series .

Hello, we are all doing fine. Our players are not. Shakib got banned. I am not sure how we are going to take any wickets.
As for fun series, I ask you to read post #14. May be fun for you but not for many of us.

I hope the ball doesn't swing or seam or spin - only then we'll have a chance at drawing a test.
You guys are lucky the Nazza wasn't selected. Otherwise this wouldn't even be a contest.

Yap! Gibson has resigned yesterday after seeing Mullah
now, if Nazza was there, WI team MGT might had to resign!

This maybe our first tour since the post 2003 era when we go home without a single SJP to our name. So I'm all about individual milestones at this point. Horale carnal!

Narine and Dwayne Bravo have opted to play in the T20 Champions League and will miss the test series

This was my prediction before the series...the bar was already set pretty low...yet we failed to achieve that...disappointed to see no fight at all even in the last match of the series...thank God I stopped following after the first ODI...these days even the surprise wins you missed and felt bad about not having watched live don't happen anymore

Most predicted right on the money. Undoubtedly the worst series ever played by Bangladesh Team in the history of our cricket! And I really mean it, never seen the team like this before. Everything just fallen apart in pieces. Even in the old days there were some fights by some players. This is by far the worst series in all possible aspect. Everything went wrong.

Agree..day by day we are going back ..no accountability no eagerness to improve and same mistakes again by the players. Boards are busy with election and don't take any blames (one of the most corrupted and ineffective cricket boards).

Are you kidding me? We all knew what was about to unfold. You have been brain washed some how.
