I think Malinga was selected just to destroy BD. Haturu is cunning enough to pull a move like that. The sad part is, he might be right. Our players were always scared of SL shooperstars (e.g. Sanga, Jaya, Murali and Malinga).

^Do not forget Vaas.

[MarufH]

oh yeaaaaaa! Further proves my point.

Bangladesh batsman have done well against Malinga in previous matches. Malinga was not the bowler he once was though. I'm actually looking forward to this game. I hope it will be a good one.

[roman]

Malinga will play his last match of his ODI career on the 15th.

[Zeeshan]

Thank you for a nice thread. Very cool.

You sure about that? In 2017, he played 2 T20 against us and bagged 5 wickets. In 2015, he played his last ODI against us and bagged 3 wickets in that match.

Also, guess who was out for a duck 2 times out of those three matches? Our best batsman - Tamim Iqbal Khan. Again, only Haturu is cunning enough to catch something like that and ensure that Malinga plays against us.

Malinga was ordinary in thrast BPL.. our players didn't have much trouble playing him

[Tigers_eye]

I am more worried about Dickwella. We tend to give life to out of form players. Dickwella in local league play in his last 4 innings scored only 24. That is worrisome.

Yes indeed, it is now out.

Everybody pray for the Bd team. We must surround the team with a prayer watch. I heard some democrat witches have formed a covenant and are actively cursing the Bd team as I write this. Tamim and Shakib are not 100% fit. Rahim is politicking as usual. It will not take that much at all to blow this dandelion that is the Bd team. Only by forming a prayer watch, can we protect the team from all evil intentions.

[naim519]

really......i mean are you serious...?

^I am half serious . It's even more funny coming from an agnostic.

But on the real though, Bd are the masters of the patented collapse. So just be aware of it, and hope for the best.
