Sending Rajin? The worst decision in the test History!

SMHasan · #1 May 22, 2007, 06:01 AM

I am shocked. Such a great chance to win this match but sending Rajin this time almost ruined the match.

It is Dave the conservative. Even Habibul tried to accelerate but this [edit] Dave is letting us down. He took a dumb decision to send Rajin. I am not happy.

nmhimal · #2 May 22, 2007, 06:19 AM

me too, not happy at all

SMHasan · #3 May 22, 2007, 06:27 AM

Not only sending Rajin but also not going for the win. I don't know who takes the the decisions.

Today was the day we could show our courage but we showed we are simply a bunch of Kapurush. Lack of killing instinct and confidence.

If we don't try to win and don't go for the win then when we are going to do it? Thanks Allah Dave is leaving. He is [edit]. Pardon me.

It was already over by then any way, we needed to lift the tempo earlier.

cricket_pagol · #5 May 22, 2007, 06:27 AM

I think all the people involved with this decision should take the blame... bashar, Dav and the management. All of them suck!!!

Rabz · #6 May 22, 2007, 06:29 AM

Guess Whatmore didnt wanna upset his new bosses !!
Its a draw match.
At least he can brag about how his team managed a draw against india!!

Poor poor decision.

It would have always been a hard to win from that situation, but there was no harm done in trying to. A winning platform was set up and the opportunity was created, only to be wasted.

Beginning of the test match, i'd hv settled with a draw with big smile on my face.
But the way it came, leaves me a bit less satisfied.

Looking forward to the next match.

I agree... and definitely feeling very frustrated!!!

Very frustrating and upsetting to see how BD went about the job when they could have bagged a lot of praise by going for the win. I just can't believe they did'nt make an effort towards it. Now all cricket gurus are going to go crazy praising India for that sporting and positive cricket and label us with loser mentality. Very sad.

SMHasan · #10 May 22, 2007, 06:43 AM

So in the presentation ceremony Habibul said 'Well, the intention was not to loose too many wickets early on. We knew it was gonna be difficult and if we didn't loose early wickets we could have .. '

The question is did we loose too many wickets earlier on? Self contradictory comments from Bashar.

Shame.

On the otherhand going for a win and giving India a scare would have definately secured his job as the coach with the Indian team.

Bangladesh should have tried more..sending mash or rafique and try a bit.......again i'm quite happy with how it ended. Atleast we picked up some quick wickets and batting was not at all bad comparing the first innings. Whereas indian 2nd inning was collupsing but Bd batsman showed some maturity on the same pitch. Remember, test match aint that easy to score quick runs.
Congradulatioin Bangladesh and thank you Dravid for your heroic decision.

PS: one more thing, some of you guys bashing at DAVE....really hurted here and shows your ability as a great fan...you are judgin him by one test match only??...........typical bangali habit of goin after our coach when he is leaving.......pathetic.........
I really dont know what's wrong with this forum......

Habibul Bashar is a very timid and negative player and that just showed in the presentation ceremony and clearly reflects in his captaincy. I really don't know how as a captain one can pass out an opportunity to win like this and still be smiling at the presentation ceremony and say that he is satisfied because they did not play enough test cricket in the last 13 months. For God sakes, this was the perfect one day scenario in a test match.

israr · #15 May 22, 2007, 06:54 AM

Bashar and Dave, please go away from Bangladesh.

HaBa sets the batting order... honestly guys, what did you expect???

His comments after the game suggest that they were at least entertaining the possibility of winning this one at the start of the innings. If that was the case, why would he have put Rajin in at number 4?

CricFanBD · #22 May 22, 2007, 07:19 AM

Not only the worst decision in the test History...the most pathetic decision in the world cricket....I feel so embarrassed...

exactly... he's just trying to get out of the jam he has put himself into...

Sumon77 · #24 May 22, 2007, 07:21 AM

Totally dissapointed with the loser mentality. whats wrong with them? now we know why Bahsar is so timid and doesnt do anything new in the field... he never learnt since his Guru didnt teach. dissapointed with Dev and happy to say bye to him.
