I can volunteer and pass $10 for kerosene to our Dhaka based members. Or did the price go up after the war in Iraq?

Yes, but we need to improve. Just keep playing and get better
i voted for the 3rd option mistakenly..
We are doing bad at the moment because of the selectors.. They selected a team which is the worse test team of all time.. First of all they shouldnt pick Sakib, Bashar, Pilot, Mushfique, Mehrab Jr, Sharir and Nafees. We are playing with bunch of out of forms players.. Nafees and Bashar are completely out of forms.. I never seen a test team like this where they have 2/3 top order out of forms players... Test matches is not the place to get your forms back.. You have to play in domestic level or with the A team.. But Faruk and Co. thought its the right place to get their forms back..
Test is all about experiences.. If a person does better in under-19 or in the ODI team that doesn't mean that hes gonna do better in Tests as well.. Hes so young and let him play in domestic leagues or with the A team.. Let him gain experienece before selecting him for the Tests.. I think selectors are also confused about Test and ODI.. They think its the same.. or whatsoever..
There are bunch of players who are doing hard jobs to make runs in domestic cricket, some are like Al Shahriar Rokon, Tushar Imran, Alok Kapali and many more.. They are making a lot of runs and having few centuries as well.. Why dont they select them for the tests?? They have more experience.. Yes you can say that our domestic league is like picnic but hey they played for hours and that gave them the right temperament to stay in the wicket for long hrs.... They should have selected some of the guys from there and then we would have a balanced team..
Our selectors are relying on the Under-19 and Academy players but they are neglecting the top performers of the domestic cricket.. some of them are so consistent... they are now more matured and aged.. When they played for the national team they were young and made lot of mistakes.. but now they deserve another chance. Unfortunately our this selection committee is not recognizing them.. WE NEED MORE MATURED PLAYERS IN THE TEST TEAM... not 18/19 years old kids.. Those players could come in later when they are matured/experienced enough to play test again..
I just hate those M-F selectors.. Ba$trds.. sorry for bad words..

#18 shows the true picture and #11 is the solution.

I allowed myself to vote though not being bangladeshi and I chose 2nd option.
I couldn't see the match and I don't know why things went so wrong in the 1st innings, but I think it must be said to bangladeshi batsmen partial excuse that Murali and Malinga are really devastating bowlers at the time, and many BD cricketers are quite young and need a lot of experience. And the whole team looks like being in a serious lack of confidence right now.
I don't think many other teams would make much better against this srilankan bowling attack, and I'm sure that if Bangladesh were playing home series to New Zealand, West Indies or maybe even South Africa or England, results would be much better.
Bangladeshi young talents need to play more to raise the level of their game, and maybe playing unofficial 4-day matches against A teams could help... anyway stop playing to this Sri Lanka team (3 of the last 5 Test series were against them!) because it looks like cricketing masochism!
Keep the faith, better times will come!

Predictably enough, I voted for the 5th option-
Yes, but our domestic structure should be fixed to keep Test status.
I wasn't raised to allow exasperation or fair weather dictate my choices.

i've been saying this for a while, but we might very well be a top 4-5 team in the ODI rankings by 2010, and yet still suffer innings defeats in tests on a regular basis. we haver serious problems that need to be addressed.

Strip it off. Our players take it for granted now. Let them work hard for it.

There is no point blaming the selectors or the managements. We are just simply not good enough.

We need Dave
I am surprise to see the bad performance of BD team in
Sri Lanka, because the quality of the team is not that level. There is something wrong. I am sure the team will be back to normal form any time. However, to improve the overall quality of the team the infrastructure domestic cricket should be improved. In addition, we need a coach like Dave Whitmore.

Selectors are the ones to be blamed. They didn't pick the right test team.. They are confused that Test is not ODI. They just want to give chances to young ones.. from u-19. They dont care about the experienced ones from the local teams..
Both Faruq n Athar Ali must resign...

It is SL who should be banned from playing cricket. They should only be allowed to play test if they drop Malinga and Murali (are they human?).

I am surprised that Kabir bhai opened such a thread. I guess, even this ( current state of our games ) is too much for some of us incl. me.

abnormality is bliss,as is ignorance.
For instance,lets assume we are kicked out,then where will the money come from?will countries host us and come to us just to play some ODIs?It'll be a step back,and I'm sure many fans like you will also vanish after that.
