Salar mentality looser. He could have said if we can produce our best we will win the match.

It is amazing how easily he takes a lose. Shameless!!

If you had seen WI on the same ground against Zim, their speed was between 75-85 range. In day time there is no dew so the ball can't speed up. Also, they bowled wayward. It was the Zim's inability to play the awkward bounce, and too much fishing. Certainly WI bowlers are 2nd grade or 3rd grade world class bowlers. If our top order can perform decently, we can post 275+ against this attack. That is a target that would get harder to reach at night even for Australia.

So the key is to bat first on this track. There is a huge chance of winning against the WI for the first time. Lara would have to retire then. Didn't he garantee last time if he lost against BD he would retire when we visited WI? Or was it in test?

Easy boy! Thats too much information for SS to process!!:p

This time we have none of them playing or performing. it also shows last match we were 78/4 but for Saqib it went upto 265.

I wonder these two years why the batsmen couldn't even improve

SS,
(265 - 131) = 134 . Bangladesh doubled their run and then some. You cannot calculate the improvement!! I hope you are not building bridges!!

First correct answer gets a prize.

wild guess...Rafiq vai? he got hit for a few if i remember correctly when he opened the bowling for some weird reason in Dhaka back in 2001.

I don't think Mash,Russel or Forhad can do anything with their current form, especially how they bowled last match.

Come on mate, don't compare with last matches how they did. Every game in this level is a different ball game and definitely they are capable (I will say, Mashrafi for sure) to take few early wickets. Don't they beat batsman very closely? All I want is our good luck with us. If we have a good day in terms of luck, definitely Mashrafi and Russel can pick up few early wickets. Let's hope for the best.

Besides, out batsman must have to perform to make any sort of impact on opponant.

Coach Dav Whatmore sums up the positives and negatives about playing without cloths. Who is that Nengta in the middle?

[SS]

Shala shob koita Alshe...look at their body languguage

[rudro]

He is Mashrafe (I guess). Do you see how attentive Ash is there? His brain even can't digest it and made him fall asleep.

Can't Wait!
3 more hours to go!

[Fazal]

some tidbits from theDaily Star:

He crooned Bangla, English and Hindi songs with aplomb much to the delight of the Tigers at the team hotel in Jaipur. "Mehrab is a very good singer. He sang some Bangla, English and Hindi songs which were really good," informed wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud.

Hmmm quite talented. Only lets see whether he can sing with his bat and ball also.

Although Rafique's birthday was celebrated peacefully in the confinement of the posh hotel, it cratered confusion among the local journalists as it contradicted the official date put in different websites. "I don't care with the official version. My son even celebrated my birthday at home," said Rafique with a naive smile.

Hmmmm hatey natey Dhora. Good try Rafique.

While the crowded city is best explored on foot, the cricketers have been asked not to go out without any security permission or walk here and there.
"There is a security alert here that's why our movement is restricted. I think India is coming here that's why they took the initiative," said Bangladesh manager Khaled Mahmud.

So the restriction was not because of BD player's security, but rather Indian Team is comming in the city? Quite Strange.
