Is Bangladesh playing the wrong team?

[Zeeshan]

shuzi mama, i thought you meant are we playing AGAINST the wrong team as in west indies, england, etcetera when we should be playing st. antilles and netherlands....but i suspect new guineas and trobrianders would even kick our ax

[BANFAN]

Zia needs to be in the team and I disagree with the people who cry over his batting skill....we need specialist bowlers for wicket taking too... You can have 1/2 weaklinks in bowling by filling up with all rounders, but you can't have all part time bowlers in the team.. Also need to have a variety in bowling... I think they didn't get the team combination right ...that's what I was saying immediately after the team was declared...

Drop Nayeem / Drop Anamul... If both in the team...then we are doomed. Dropping both and promoting Nasir, Mullah above Mshy..can make the team a bit better...
Include Zia
Include Enamul
Include IK

Good thread...
Quite worrying. We cant even beat our second team... How are we gonna beat WI

[Sohel]

I reckon the true purpose of the practice match was to try out our new uniform and make sure that players feel mentally and physically comfortable wearing them. No published report on that so far.

In Bangladesh none of the selectors have shame, they should pack bag and go, over and over again because of them our team performing worse, if they can't do the job why not leave. man just leave.

But we have to reach high first! We have been at this valley forever...

Tamim and Mash?

If the national team took this match lightly, it speaks volume about their professionalism.

[Jadukor]

We are playing the right team but its just the wrong game

cricket is too complex for their natural game

this team should be playing Danguly

[zahidnyc]

ziaur rahman must be included , and imrul hayes should open the batting with tamim , so far this can be the best team

1# tamim
2# imrul kayes
3# jahurul islam
4# mahmudullah riad
5# naseer hossain
6# ziaur rahman
7# musfiqur rahim
8# masraffie mortaza
9# abdur razzak
10# rubel hossain
11# abul hassan

Maybe even Rajshahi will kick our behind.

BCB XI lost badly to WI, but they at least scored some runs.

No, even danguly might be too much! rannabari might be more appropriate.

According to unpublished reports, the new dress is to tight and dark, which is why they performed so badly.

I think that the BCB XI can beat the crap out of the playing XI.
