Ditto!
Our pace attack is not world class, especially in this pitch.

Besides, their spin attack is not strong enough to pose any threat. So, going for an all out spin attack wont be a bad idea.

[cricheart]

I'm missing Rubel for this match.

[zinatf]

Hmm Rubel thakle bhalo hoto kintu ki ar kora....jaihok jitbo Insha Allah.......jege otho Banglar Damal/kamal/jamalera!!!

he has a good average because of his selfish batting. He protects his wickets regardless of the situation.

and so much for his good record against India, it doesnt matter. If u are a good cricketer, youll play good against any team

[MSM B2C]

My team against India:

1) Tamim Iqbal
2) Nazimuddin
3) Jahurul Islam
4) Shakib Al Hasan
5) Nasir Hossain
6) Mushfiqur Rahim
7) Anamul Haque
8) Mashrafi Bin Mortaza
9) Elias Sunny
10) Abdur Razzak
11) Nazmul Hossain

[Maysun]

The thing is, our batsmen gift their wickets. Doesn't matter if the Indian bowling lineup is weak.

Why concentrate on only Riyad? What about Mushy? It's time he steps up as well. Both our captain and vice captain need to show why they belong in this team and start to man up in pressure situations.

[playmaker]

^^^

Ive seen mushy do well in pressure situations plenty of times

[Tiger444]

^Could you highlight them then? His average is only a 24 in our matches we won against the G8 teams. The only match that comes to mind is his 56* against India in the WC. Not saying Mushy's bad because I do like him a lot but these past few games he's leaving our team in bad positions. 3rd ODI against Pakistan, he blew it. Then the 2nd test match where both Riyad and him tried to hit 6's when they needed to draw the Test match and then now both of them last game playing poor shots when they needed to stay. So I blame both of them.

[Shubho]

Mushy is the most technically correct batsman that we have. But with all due respect to technical correctness, if you ain't averaging 30 with a strike rate in excess of 70 (in ODIs), then you're pretty much useless. They boy has played over 100 ODIs, it's about time he delivers CONSISTENTLY.

[SS]

The way he are relying on individual performers I doubt this will be another WC repeat...omg still can't bear the pain of Shewag's padani...plz give Shafiul and non performers some rest...unfortunately more than half of the team are that category...I still remember that first day of WC where we had so much hope all went to drain for rubbish bowling and offcourse pathetic batting in response...all I want now is to improve from the mistakes that was made last year same around same time

This had to be on the eve of March 17th didn't it?

Batting first, we'll have to score 350 to even dream of winning.

If we're bowling first and Shafiul is playing, God help us.

Good luck with that.

If we must lose, we must lose badly to ensure that the old doesnt get his damn 100x100.

yeah, what are you smoking?

[Crisis]

Sachin , please get a 100. The rest of your team can collectively make another 100.

I am beginning to feel sorry for the guy. His avg is deteriorating cos of his wish to see his 100th 100. We should go easy on him

[meazz1]

in most of the matches where Sachin scoreed a 100, Ind lost the match.

The man has 19 not outs in 65 ODI innings but only 6 50s! That definitely tells you something.

Mushfiqur is probably the most reliable batsmen after Shakib. Yes his average doesnt look good but thats because he didnt have a great run in the beginning of his career.

In recent times he has stepped but and scored consistent amount of runs. Just because he didnt make runs last game doesnt mean you can lash out on him.

Ranking of reliable batsmen in the Bangladesh team
1. Shakib
2. Mushfiq
3. Nasir/Tamim

I'm tired of hearing for last many many years after loosing the close matches the same excuses "we are not experienced enough, they are experienced" such type of pre-match comments and the whining from our players. This time I want win, how many years you still need to make yourself experienced enough if not this time then when? after your retirement ???

[mali007]

Why Eliyas Sunny is not in the line up ? Highest wicket taker in BPL ! If Pakistan can reward Jamshed Nasir for his performance in BPL , why not Sunny . In current form he is much better the Razzak . Moreover , his inclusion will strengthen our batting line up .

[TigerEz]

ever since the pakistan game ended, i keep getting the feeling of that india gonna out us in ur place...:'( Allah amader bachao

another thing you notice is that this team has a very long batting line and against india its better to fight batting by batting.
