No excuses, But....

I admit we batted carelessly. The pitch was not that destructive. Shoaib and Co used their reverse technologies....But Inspite all of these, Do YOU REALLY THINK THERE WAS A FAIR UMPAIRING?

I haven't seen those matches. But some of the crucial LBW decisions seemed to be partial (Such as 1st innings sumon and 2nd innings rajin). May be I am trying to find a hope out of these, but really Didn't you guys feel that you were cornered?

I don't know how we will stop our decentry of loosing consecutive wickets. But in every match we are learning new things, in this case reverse swing.

Monjurul will be surely to come (eventhough he is not good in long spells and his batting sucks) in the next match. I think Masri should come earlier in bat, he has a stroke-playing tendency.

Golla, Hannan will open.
Sumon as usual at 3rd.
Ash is okk on 4th.
Rajin and then Alok.
7th I am suggesting masri
8th pilot
9th sujon
10th rafiq
11th monjur/Tapash

Anyway.....last of all its our team. No matter what they will be our hope and pride, and I really admire the success they have achieved so far.

Hats on you BD.

Hey Prohor y u like to get sujon in this team.I atfirst kick him out and then make a new captain.If sumon will be the captain then i will take sumit or Tapash in that place.

Hi,
I don't think Masri to bat before Pilot would be a wise descision 'cause you (prohor) has already said that Masri had a stroke playing tendancy and Pilot has already shown that he is capable of facing some balls and carry the bat for a some time.

And in case for oneday then according to situation we can play Masri as a pinch hitter at any order.(But I don't think currently we don't need any pinch hitter having a natural strokemaker like Habibul Bashar.)

Thank You
Shafi

Prohor:
I agree Masri should be moved up the order to position 8 after Pilot but before good-for-nothing.

Kalbaishakhi:
100 % correct when you say El Capitan must leave and make way for Tapash and/ Manjurul.

I didn't omit sujon...As I know He will be by default ( None any of my hearting efforts will be fulfilled to remove him from the team, Even though I still pray for an injured situation of the captain)

And about MAsri...I thought sometimes a quick score session will help the tail ender to be sticked into the pitch w/o the worry of scoring.

Hey reini,
y should u take both monjurul and tapash.I think 2 paser(mashri and tapash/manjurul) is enough but if pitch will prefer only pacer then 3 pacer is good then.

bad decisions were made against both sides not just against bangladesh.

as soon as umar gul took bashars wicket he had kapali plum in front of wickets but it wasnt given. who knows what bangladesh would have made.

I agree mudassar,

Only Thing I wanted was a fair umpairing. I am not going to count how many decisions went against us or You. I didn't expect this kind of conducting from these world class umpairs, specially good'ol Bucknor.

Hope they will be better next time.

it was bucknor who made so many bad decisions it was unbelievable.

he is regarded by many as the best umpire in cricket. but from what i so in the 2nd test he should be dropped in place of the sri lankan umpire.

im really dissappointed that russell tiffin is umpiring in this test series too. cause he isnt that good either.
