It's so unfair.When ever We 've a chance in any competition then there 'ill be som problems 4 for da tigers.Tigers are performing well,we all know that.We also know this carrabian wicket is so damm similar to subcont6inent pitch.So all the country outside of subcontinent 've to struggle.if BD wr in group A or C or D,then they can easily 've the advantages.But in a group of India n Srilanka ,they also take the advantages.So ,it's so unfortunate n unfair??Can any 1 tell me how this selection was made By ICC,I mn the group selection.......

Editing after some baseless comments....

SA konomote ireland er shate beat korse..n they r not good in this condition...

PAK is so much week in bowling in dis WC n their batting ,u know wat a unpredictable they are...
WI also unpredictable n weak team where they could all out within 83 runs...

Nz already beaten by Tigers n Eng is the worst WC side in this condition...

So,It is better 4 BD to be in a group except 'B'.............Clear hai.............now???

Yes compleatly agree with you..the whole group system is a joke and we are the victim of ICC's joke...
I like the Last year Group System much better....i strongly think 16 team in world cup is too much..there should be only 12 team and 2 groups...it means 5 match per group...then only every team will get a chance to go through..

IanW · #3 March 13, 2007, 03:06 AM

Look, if you are going to win the comp, you have to knock India or Sri Lanka out of it.

You might as well get that out of the way in the group stage.

There's 2 games - India and Sri Lanka, both on neutral grounds. Win one, and you should go through. Thats all the team can control.

Thats true, but it would be great for Bangladesh cricket if we beat India.

sunny747 · #5 March 13, 2007, 04:07 AM

We are good againts white teams. All the sub teams are quite similar......so it is difficult for BD.

Ejaj · #6 March 13, 2007, 04:10 AM

It does not matter in which group we would be playing.. Since group postion was designed with Top 8 teams seeding in the groups, being No. 9, BD will always be playing with any other two test teams. It would remain group of death.

Well, it does not matter, whom we are playing. I will be happy if the team gives her best against any team. WIn Loose, doesnt matter against Sl or Ind.

nobody · #7 March 13, 2007, 05:13 AM

If you want to be the best, beat the best. I have no problem with the grouping. it would be more sweeter for me to find out the "big bully" is no more their in super 8

BD-Shardul · #8 March 13, 2007, 05:44 AM

So far I know--Allah Ja Koren, Bhalor Jonnoi Koren' - so I think we will be able to beat a big gun (Hopefully India), and go to super 8 stage.

Rabz · #9 March 13, 2007, 05:48 AM

So which group you wanted us in bro??
Group A? against Australia and SA?
or C? against Pak and WI?
or D? against Eng and NZ?

i see no difference...
its all the same..
we still hv to beat a team which is superior to us in every single department ( by papers and performance so far)...
plus being ranked 9th...(11th at the time of group draw)... we would hv faced two other test teams any way...

so stop whinging...

IanW · #10 March 13, 2007, 07:15 AM

Sydney,

Believe me or not if you want, but I think the bowlers that Bangladesh have taken to the Carribean are better than the bowlers Australia have taken to the Carribean.

Ian
You are probably the most courageous of Bangladeshi supporters.
While we know that Bangladesh cricket team has a long way to go, I just wanted to thank you for your encouragement. My advice to my fellow fans is keep your feet grounded, rejoice when you have won.
See you in victory.

mhj007 · #13 March 13, 2007, 07:45 AM

Life isn't fair, deal with it, it's the only way we'll get stronger, if you're going to the Super 8 might as well earn it.

Group C would be a walk in the park. WI is totally lost and Pakistan is toothless, no bite. I wont be surprised if one of the minnows move to the next round from this group.

Tigers_eye · #16 March 13, 2007, 09:03 AM

I say we don't worry about who we are facing. Our goal is the be the #1 team. The target should be replace SA or Aus. Not petty teams like SL or India. Win the cup (at least that what it should be at this stage). Not winning one game against the India or Sl. If not why bother playing. Lets go home and watch it on TV. Advantage players can watch replays.

To be the #1 one must go through the hardest in the worst situation and come out victorious. That allows wins against the lesser opponents with ease. I am happy we hold our own destiny. The first step is to believe. Lets go BD!!!

**Mahmood** · #17 March 13, 2007, 09:18 AM

I want what you are smoking... Number 1? Winning the cup? In Bangla, we have a saying "Gachhe kathal gofe tel".

Dude, first make it to the 2nd round, if you can.

Ohh, really? most of our wins came against Zim and Kenya, what color are they? In fact if we do want to talk about color, then here's the truth, we only started winning against Zim when their white players were gone.

Color of the player isn't the factor, the factor is where they are from.

OK, lets go through it, bowler by bowler

Clarke vs Masrafee : Advantage Bangladesh

McGrath vs Rasel : Strong Advantage Australia

Tait vs Shahadat : I'm calling that a draw

Bracken vs Baiysa : Advantage Australia, but Tapash wont be playing.

Basically, Australia have a better fast bowling attack ... but not by that much

Slow bowlers

Symonds vs Rafique ... well, for a start, Rafique is fit. Advantage Bangladesh

Razzak vs ... gee, thats a question, isnt it ? Pitches are said to be slow.

So, yeah, much as I'd like Glenn McGrath on my team, I think you can make the argument that on slow pitches, you'd go with the Tiges.

Mahmood bhai,
emon koren kan? Those are my targets and hopefully the team's target too. In order to get there ofcourse one has to qualify the second round first. Ektu optimistic hoitey diben na. (Bhaggish undefeated champion boli nai.

I Think If Bangladesh is in the Group of Australia and South Africa The Situation Would be Like This.

wooh tait vs shahadat is draw? but tait sends out 160k missiles while shahadat merely flings 135k. rethink that one I guess.
razzak vs

how about clark? and probably razzak would be the better choice.
