Look Bd fans, Afghanistan chased 494 to win a first class match

[BD-Shardul]

And I now have understood why I sometimes become a misanthrope. This world is a beautiful place because of man like Ian!!!

[bujhee kom]

Comon bhais, what's going on....

I think Afghanisthan has some very skilled, aggresive and at the same time can be very very rooted down and extremely focused batsmen and a few good fast bowlers who bowl pretty strong and swing!

Really sorry boss i was not aware of that. I genuinly thought (no hard feelings) bro that afgans beat irish as a one off. Thats great allhamdullilah. But u seem really serious abut the fact that u have a chance of beating us. Over the past few months im not sure how much u are aware, bdesh have also shown signs of improving to atleast exceed the quality of cricket played by west indies and pakistan. I just feel i dont know y that u will not have much of a scope of victory against us. Perhahs a one off. Enwayz i wish the best for the future of bdesh cricket.

[Peace]

this afghan is an infiltrate. a mocker.

First win ONE match out of five against our Under 21 team or under 19 team. An XI comprising of our weakest regional teams scored 250 against England yesterday, and you think you can beat our main team?

True, shoot for the star. You may even hit a tree top.

I understand the sentiment Shardul.... but this is where we have to step up as well. We constantly keep saying, we'll win against NZ this time, we'll beat England this time.... and I am sure they just ignore all that and focus on their game play cuz they are just Professional. We have to be like that.... and go beyond our sentiments/complexities...

btw Afghan bro, I have began to doubt your motive. We are already a big well wisher of the Afghan cricket team and only wish for their best, but I am getting a feeling that you are rather looking for rivalry.... plz tell me I am wrong ....

[bujhee kom]

Ghazni and Samarkand are not in Afghanistaan, right? I always think as Afghanisthan as being the most beautiful, romantic country in the world!

This attitude by others is very very hard for me to swallow, given that many of us already have a subtle and sub-conscious inferior complexity embedded in our mind.

Therefore my reply to Afgan - দূর হ!

I know what you mean. I myself think some might be jumping the gun just a little bit. But hey! We brought this on ourselves. Even if we did whitewash them when they came over, we did lose to Ireland in the World Cup. Thats the big one.

Confidence is a fickle thing. It can vindicate one moment, and set you up for disappointment the next. I personally hope it doesn't in this case. I like the whole "Rocky" thing they have going. Didnt one of their allrounders say they would handle Dale Steyn easily? Now, that's chutzpah!

I kinda wish their first representative on this board wasn't a troll though. That kinda kills it...

Just curious - what's wrong if he is looking for rivalry? Is not that all sports about?

Also, remember that a mediocre(at best) attack got you for 250 in the first innings and then you conceded more than 550 runs to them.

Your performance is credible. But remember you are yet to play any game with test playing nations. You have to do a lot more before your big claims stop sounding ridiculous. Though I agree you should play BD A team few times a year. Practice for you, Practice for us.

No bd A team is too bad. they were thrashed by ireland in their last tour to ireland. we have beaten ireland several times, recently in a 4 day match and twice in t/20 wc qualifier. we want to play against the main bd team.

Dear Afghan bhai, Are you not a man of real Afghan origin? Do you not have any connection with my dream Afghanisthan...then why am I saying all this? Are you there Afghan bhai, please say something!

You are confusing me. I'm sorry but as far as I can tell I am a professional engineer and being in banglacricket doesn't entail any professionalism clause.

I know exactly how I should approach infantile claims, but I'm surprized that people are even entertaining the idea. Afghanistan are good, but they are yet to play any ODI series. How can they beat us?

[B_IKHAN_71]

fair play to ya afghan and ur beloved nation ., tbh i didnt evn knw afghanistan had a cricket team !!
itz gud to see them rising 4rm almost no where to being a force to be reckoned wiv. i believe this is exactly wa bangladesh need,to be lookin over there shoulder evry second ., so we dnt gett complacent and rest wen we get a bit of success under our hands., and if we do then ... well we dont desrve to be called a cricketin nation.

I dont believe they are afgans. Most of them are pakis.

[Dhakablues]

To back to original idea: Chasing 500 runs is not easy, they did it. Congrats. But it stops there. Thinking Afghan team can beat Bangldesh at a heartbeat with only beating Ireland few times is just laughable, if not a libel.. Ireland, Zimbabwe, Kenya all thought they have improved beyond what BD had, they came to Bangladesh and got thrashed. Never did Ireland utter they are better than Bangladesh again even after their T20 win. Bangladesh is unpredictable but not a team that Afghanistan can beat that easily. Yes, we lost few times here and there but look at the past 2-3 years history of records,, and you will see that a team of 3 -Tamim/Shakib/Riad alone can beat Afghanistan 12 team member. But then again, congrats on winning against whatever team that was you have beaten. Do come to Bangladesh and arrange a series...

[Nafi]

I agree, though to be honest I think our academy side would prove too strong for you guys.

But I still think Afghanistan should play BD A team for a first class tour of BD.

I would be interested in how well Afghans do, and if BD A can thrash Afghanistan completely - that would be nice to see, our young boys handling big games like that.

Your post is not consistent with BC spirit specially when it is directed to a new member.
That was completely unnecessary and rude. Moderators should take note of this. This kind of remarks should not be tolerated.

Afghan, welcome to BC. Please ignore his post. And hey congrats. It is always good to see new nations coming up. Look forward to match between BD and AFG.

No intention to burst your bubble. As far as I know most of your current players are actually products of either Pak or Eng. That actually casts doubt whether the recent progress of AFG is sustainable for a longer period. However, I hope this success generates interest for cricket in AFG.

Yeah, it's a real shame how majority of fans here start to act when a foreign fan puts up a challenge here.

Bangaladesh lost matches against ireland several times and we, the Afghan team beat ireland comprehensively in all forms of cricket recently. So, get ready for the defeats of your team against our team. sorry guys, it was initially only ireland. now add Afghanistan in your threat list.

http://www.cricinfo.com/icccont2010/...ch/438893.html

maybe you guys can play a series against our u-19 team. I doubt you will win a game tho... doesn't matter what format.

hahah... Ashfaq bhai, I called the NZ/ENG PLAYERS Professional..... not the banglacricket members.....

I meant to say, our PLAYERS have to deal with these professionally (that is in the field) rather than fighting over 'How dare they challenge us?'

you had me wondering with all the engineering talk....

Sorry for the confusion. I was confused and confusion is contagious.

I hope our players are professional enough to play the delivery and not the bowler. But that doesn't mean I'm going to act all stiff upper lip gentle man in an internet forum. What is the use of anonymity if I can't let my dark side take over one a while?

Because your team lost to ireland twice in crucial tournaments like WC and t/20 wc and we beat ireland several times in all forms of cricket. so, we believe that we can win 3 match odi series against bd.
