Definitely bow first, try to take advantage of the moisture on the ground and air. It should clear up, ie cloud cover should be gone by the time for the 2nd innings.

We have to be disappointed if we lose this match against England.

I hope the players feel the same way. But based on Mash's interview, he is so quick to remind people that a loss might be possible.

"This win will be memorable if we can do it" Wtf Mash? No that is not the attitude you should go in the field with. You should say something like ,"we expect to win the match, as all the pressure is on them".

2007 world cup match vs India (almost a knock-out given the format)
2009 tri series vs SL (bonus pt took us past ZIM into the final)
2010 3rd match vs NZ (guaranteed a series draw at least)
2010 5th match vs NZ (sealed a whitewash)
2011 world cup match vs England (kept our WC alive after 58 all out)
2012 Asia Cup vs SL (took us to the final)
2013 vs NZ (sealed another whitewash)

[Roey Haque]

Oh, and let me say this too. Drop catches, lose matches. If we drop any England batsmen, we will be out of it. On the other hand, if we can hold on to the catches, we will be headed for a comfortable victory.

drama with final 11..hope whoever gets chosen can contribute...now or never in this WC..this is basically our do and die match

[Roni_uk]

The first WC knock out match today. Its BIGGGGGGGG according to Foxtel Australia and the Aussies and English! M Vaughan yesterday last night, it is going to be a MASSIVE game tonight.

I hope we can live upto the pressure. For the first time in many years... millions of eyes are going to be on BANGLADESH!!!!

I hope and pray that we give our BEST.

If we want to win, we need to make sure 2 things happen:
1) We cannot afford easy dropped catches, and we cannot afford sloppy fielding. Whatever happens our players must stay motivated, every single run Bangladesh can save can help us win.

2) need to change batting order. We cannot afford to play Shakib at 6 and Mushfiq at 7, like we did against SL.

Weather forecast makes me nervous .. we don’t want overcast condition. Poms will eat us alive fficeffice" />

[Rana Melb]

Any update on final 11?

Rubel out and Sunny In?
Bijoy out and Imrul In?

[Dilscoop]

Can't believe it's already been 4 years since we last played these guys!

Really? Isn't that the same type of over the top bok bok that Mushy used to do and everyone complained about it. Now Mash is being subtle and you want him to be brash.

There's no point in saying it. IDC what they're saying in the press. I wanna see em do it on the field.

fantastic. It is definitely possible

[Zeeshan]

YY: "One hug for Mr. Jason Holder right here. Will England need one at the end of this match?"

[fuadomar]

According to Utpal Shuvra(pro alo) and Mostafa Mamun(kaler kontho) Imrul and Sunny are playing instead of Anamul and Nasir.

Bhais, link den 2/3 ta.

[Rifat]

dropping nasir means fielding automatically takes a -5 even before the game starts, not a good move to drop nasir.

[Zeeshan]

Still overcast

Do you think he's being subtle? I think Mash is too sincere a guy to be subtle. When he makes out to be that a win will be very special, he sincerely means it. And that is not good news. That indicates lack of confidence.

If the rain (drizzle) continues, shouldn't we play three pacers then?
