BD A lost by 10 wickets

Surprised to see that we made them bat again.

Out two spinners seem to be useful all-rounders at times. Manjurul Rana scored 84 runs while Jamal Babu scored a 50. The other fifty came from Hannan yesterday.

Wapda needed to score 4 runs to win and they did it from the first ball. It went for a four (bye).

Surprised to see so many 20s from our middle order?

I can except that we can't have pacers like aussies,pak, and others but we can't have a good middle order i can't tolerate it. We desperately need one of our middleorders(so far Rajin,Alok, Ashraful) to score. NO matter what, we have to train them some how otherwise we can't just depend on tail enders to take our score cross 200 in ODI's. Well done Rana, and Jamal. Kudos to you guyz.
But what happened to the three specialist coaches who suppose to join with Whatmore for training?

What's realy worrying is the lack of a top quality pacer in the team. I bet Tapash would have been much more effective then the likes of Alamgir and Monir. Same thing goes for Manju - wheather Dav likes him or not - he is still better then these lot. These two are two weak to ever play for the national team. They are lucky to be in the A team.

Also, would someone please smack some sense into Talha ????
