Won't be able to watch this match.

I think this match thread will need some serious moderation by the BC High Officials.

^^^you betcha. But all that can be changed if our stupid batsman clicks.

[bujhee kom]

Good luck team... show better performance... give a blow

We are simply below par. Ash is asking for two years and we all are expecting wins now. Just come back after two years though I am not sure what will be our level then. Our batsmen simply don't have the intelligence. Otherwise a 10th grader in any test playing country will not give away his wicket they way our batsmen did. Painful but it's the truth. So, come into terms with reality.

Only positive thing is Bangladesh has fans like you. I salute you all. There is nothing wrong in hoping. Deep in my heart I feel that we have spanked them really bad in 2nd ODI. An eye for an eye for the 1st ODI defeat. God will you be with us this time since you were with them last time!!!!

জিয়া...আমার মনে হয় বাংলাদেশের ছেলেদের মানসিক সমস্যা এটা...
প্রতিপক্ষ বেশী রান করে ফেললে হচকচিয়ে যায় ওরা! তারউপরে আছে ভুল দল নিরর্বাচনের উপরি চাপ...বিদ্ধারাই যেখানে ভুল করছে, ছেলেদের দোষ দিয়ে কি লাভ?!!!

JS needs to do something quickly if he wants to get out of this vicious cycle of losing.

Aftab is by no means a #3. He is what he is - a slogger who can rotate at times, and deserves to bat no higher than at #6. We need someone with a calming influence at #3; in the long term, it should be Mushfiq. For now, I don't see why Raqib is batting down the order. If he's going to bat at #6, then we might as well not play him at all.

Also, what's with Dhiman batting at #8? I guess they just want to use him as a keeper (then again, with Siddons looking for a #11 who can bat, you never know). In any case, if Mushfiq continues to score behind the scenes, I don't see Dhiman lasting too long in the ODI side, and it will be unfair on him because he will hardly have been given any chances to show off what he's made of.

আপনি িঠক বলেেছন এটা মানসিক সমস্যা ।আমি মনে করি েটকনিক এর সমস্যা সবচে বেশী বড় সমস্যা।Fast ball খেল েত না পারা আমাদের প্রধান সমস্যা। আমার মনে হয় বিদেশ থেেক ফাস্ট বো্লার দেশে এনে আমাদের প্রাক িটস করা দরকার।

Man, I got the same view on aftab too. How the hell do we get this brainless slogger at no. 3 position. Technical batsmen my A**.

Let me as a mod issue a stern warning - based on some of the developments of the last thread. Do NOT use the traditional leniency moderators extend to match threads as an excuse to get into an orgy of ad hominem attacks or other forum rule violations. Focus on the cricket. Vent a little perhaps (when we inevitably muck up). But that's it. No four letter insults on our opponents, no abusing visitors rooting for the opponents as your punch bag for your valid/invalid political anger. The violators in the last match thread have been already warned. Any repeats will lead those involved only way - out of BC.

Batting order For this Match:

1. Tamim
2. Junaid
3. Nafees
4. Ashraful
5. Aftab
6. Shakib
7. Dhiman
8. Farhad
9. Mashrafe
10. Razzak
11. Rasel

This is the perfect 11 and this the perfect batting order, IMO.

Razab bhai, Thanks a lot for deleting all those abusive posts from the last match thread. That thread missed you guys(mods team) a lot yesterday. But after the deletion of the posts, it looks so nice. Thanks again

Once Kevin Pietersen was doing bad, and he skipped breakfast out of anger and frustration. And our golden boys.....

[Murad]

I don't understand something. Most of our players cut their hair short at the same time. I wonder why.

KP is not performing for atleast last 10-15 ODIs. Getting set then plays a bad shot go get out just like our players. Also not doing well in Tests as well.

Team Rule 4.1.3.2 To maintain unity and harmony in the team, all players must cut their hair at the same time and in same fashion, and violation of this law might result in exclusion from the national team.
