lets talk about T20 world cup and bangladesh's probability

[Rommel]

Really excited for this upcoming WC. We usually play a lot better when facing a team like India. How are the pitches in England? What is a par score? With the current lack of firepower, 150+ will be pretty tough...

I have been watching almost all the ipls live to date and it looks like performance wise the national team members of india are not all doing too well. Sewag, Yuvi, harbajan, Pathan bros were quite inconsistent, whereas RP Singh, Dhoni and Raina consistently played well. Having said that team BD (I believe) is quite rusty from not having many international matches lately. So we have a tie.

Initially I was thinking India has been pumping their players up via IPL to post a record win against BD in T20 WC, now I am not too sure - its too close to call.

I'm guessing A1 is India and A2 is bangladesh as far as teh schedule is concerned.

So our 2nd round opponents (barring upset to IRELAND) will be B1, D1 & C2

Is that PAK, SA & SL?

Pak, NZ & SL

i think we will win against indian ... but i fear about the games that we r going to play later in the tournament..
ban will manage go to the 2nd around but that shouldn't the only aim.... their aim is to win all matches..
any team u think about, that they previously like Sri, RSA, NZ... they could have won easily but they lost toward the end.. this time we must focus on not lossing easily won matches.

[Gowza]

if mithun's keeping is good enough he should be playing every match unless rahim gets into ultra form with the bat (the likes of which we've never seen from him), shamsur should also get the nod since he's probably the most inform batsman this season and he's shown that he can score reasonably quickly though i wouldn't expect him to bring in a mccullum type innings (e.g. his century last IPL) any time soon. to me shamsur seems more like a duminy type player, he's more of an anchor but can score about a run a ball or a bit quicker if he puts his head down but isn't likely to do an afridi or a mccullum, that type of player is still valuable in a t20 match imo.

[bujhee kom]

I think it will be a jamity jaam WC.....! 20/20..30/30...40/40.. 100%

[Nafis 1718]

i also think we will win against india.......inshallah

[Mridul]

Looking at the talent, form and stats of our current players.....my feeling is...we are going to loose both games and thus will be out of the tournament in the first round

we may only beat Netherland in the warm up match

[Ajfar]

i nominate I_knockout_you bhai to open the match thread against India just like last time..

[bujhee kom]

I have a strong psychic feeling that we, BD will not do too good in the 4-5 practice matches...But then once the tournament starts the table's gonna turn and BD will InshAllah reach the semi-finals!
May Allah and his good nature bless the BD tigers!
