Match Thread: 1st ODI, Bangladesh vs. Zimbabwe at SBNS, Dhaka; December 1, 2010

[Sohel]

Proof that cricket is a team sport and Moyna's coattail won't always be there for others to ride on.

[firstlane]

why did they have to lose the first match? now the whole world will say Bangladesh lost to zimbabwe after white washing Newzealand.

[cricket_pagol]

our team looked really out of sorts, I wonder what happened between the NZ series and now? The dynamics of the team is just not right...

Riyad needs to go back to academy to learn the basics

Now I feel Shakib has every right to pick whoever he thinks are team man.

no need to drop shuvo...

[shakibrulz]

Ash should play the series, and BD will drop him forever after losing 4-0.

[godzilla]

Bah ridicilous ... from 79-1 to 106-6 which killed the match for us and then ryad decided to become the ROCK today and made sure that we did not miss him a bit... then they each get a car for winning a series aginst NZ??? ... with a performance like this we can safetly see that our preparation for WC is no where close to where it should have been.

I can so picture the first match where India is over killing us ... :*(

[22Yards]

All I can say atm is this was not worth staying up all night and passing off studying for test that's tomorrow. I feel like a moron now.

[Naimul_Hd]

Ash is a virus....we better need to find "Anti Virus" ASAP !!!

[Bashie]

I had a feeling of this situation since we bangla fans started underestimating our opponent in all forums and it’s really hard to believe that our fielding coach also joined us in this act.

“Consistency is behavior which is hard fought thru reputation of acting uniformly”

He is always does that, he comes really good at it.

[Jadukor]

We shouldnt have had all the drama with captaincy after the NZ series... Shakib should have been made captain immediately after that series but instead the squad was finalized just days before the first match... i dont know what went on under the curtain but Shakib just didn't look fired up for this match today... even then he was by far the best cricketer in the field for us...that shows how pathetic the rest of the batting lineup is...

we must drop Junaid from no. 3 and bring Nafees... atleast he could score at a faster pace

also Ashraful needs to be deported to some other country... and we can bring in Johurul

as finisher we need to drop Mahmudullah ASAP..and bring in someone who has balls like Shabbir....

Exactly. This kick in the a** was due.

imrul re baad deo bole chillanor karon aase... we have batters batting at the strike rate of old grandmothers throughout our batting order...and the momentum sucking starts right at the top... Tamim's scoring is neutralized by Kaes... If they happen to get off to a good start then it gets neutralized by Rock... and then even if Shakib pulls out a rescue act... the final nail in the coffin comes from Mahmudullah/Naeem...

[22Yards]

definitely some changes needs to be done to the team. Come to think of it, our batting just doesnt have the meat except shakib and tamim. Why do i never see some other batsmen guiding us to victory after playing a major role taking us out of our troubles and domino collapses ever ? Instead of taking a lead role when the situation demands, they are only good for chipping in a 20 30 and at most a 50 60 .. and they think they have done enough to secure their place for the next game.
