I might have spoken too early. According to Crackinfo the Windies just threw away their wickets...Pathan was all over the place, whereas Patel was better ("On line more often than not")

i'd say we have a fair chance of putting up 300 against the indian bowling attack, given we have tamim instead of ashraful opening with nafees, bashar and ashraful in a better form, mushfiqur rahim, and mashrafe's batting abilities on flat pitches (which i think will extend to sporting wickets as well, if he bats straighter)

We have a fair chance of scoring high if not 300. All of our players are in good form. I never saw Ashraful scoring so many 20+ constantly. Bashar is in his best ODI form for his 100 ODIs he played. He just needs to check his run out tendency. Aftab (inshallah will play) will match Dhoni and do better in every pixel. Mash will do better than any of their pacers. Rafiq/Razzak pair will do nothing less than Harbhajan/Kumble. We don't have any batsman as unreliable as Shewag. They have to depend on their part time bowlers. Sakib is our genuine bowler who checks runs a picks up wicket periodically.
Why people are worrying. We have to perform to our potential that we are doing.

So far we said we will win "jodi laigya jay good luck".
I would like to say now that we will win "jodi na laigya jay bad luck".

What i am worrying about after watching Agarkar, Munaf, Zaheer is that they will be aiming for the edges that our batsmen are so prone to give and then throw away wkt unnecessarily.

i have to admit guys arnt you being a bit too complacent?


the blackcaps beat australia 3-0 so their confidence was high and then they lose to you guys... so just because you beat the blackcaps doesnt mean you will definately beat india

different day different game
and also its the cricket world cup,india wont be wanting to slip up at all

exactly. this in itself reduces our chances of pulling off an upset quite a bit. we will have to play a lot better than we did against new zealand to beat india.

I agree with most parts but people worries because you forgot to mention the most important parts. You kinda compared most of their team members with ours but left out the one that matters. Ganguly, Dravid, Tendulkar. Thats why people worry. Their batting attack worries everyone.

There is no way we can avoid our worries...take it simply it's too early for us to beat big guns now and then...we are not that level yet. So, just have reasonable expectations.

Ekdom moner kotha bolsen BangladeshCricket bhai. just have reasonable expectations.

[soccer20reverse]

Its reasonable to say that bangladesh has a 80-20 chance of winning this match.... and its much better then 95-5 we had 5 years ago.... so I say we're improving... to maybe even cause an upset over india... but it will be anything but easy....

[CricFanBD]

BD didn't go to the Windies for winning the cup or for going to the 2nd round...just BD wants to win one big match against Ind or Sri...thats all...BD does not need to worry, just calm and quiet...play his natural game and see what happens at the end. On the other hand Ind or Sri needs to worry about BD a lot...cause they are thinking themselves as a winner of 2007 WC. BD has nothing to loose...but they have everything....

...3 ...2 ....1 ..GO

Start a anti India thread and send loads of mails to indian media , cricinfo ( ... soorry ... Crapinfo) , president of india etc .......

[sheshprohor]

Our trump card is Tamim...if we can have a firing start from him...everything is okay...no matter we bat first or 2nd.

exactly...

a win against anyone for us is largely unlikely...but it works both ways.

i don't read anything to india's performance against WI...just one day, one game.
