Bangladesh is still far from the level of top teams!

[james007]

I saw there is nothing special in Bangladesh, just India has dropped to level to Bangladesh. I mean I will only say bangladesh has gone to level to top teams when they will play sides like Pakistan and Srilanka or Aussies. Playing against Minnow like India won't prove anything. So guys don't get over exicted.
Sorry if it hurts guys, i speak only truth. I know i will receive SOME harsh comments, but again look at INdian attack compared to good teams.

[OZGOD]

Did India send their top side? Where's Ganguly, Tendy, etc?

[james007]

^^ I don't know. But they are old now. Sure they were class one time.

[james007]

But current Team India is worst i have seen in my life

Thats it mate, you have hit the nail right on the head

[Inferno]

You should be worried about the sorry state of of affairs of Pakistan mate. Any day both India and Bangladesh can trounce Pakistan (lol). You know what Pakistan have never won a World cup match against either Ind or BD in their cricketing history so just shut up

[Murad]

just wait few months buddy.. you will see..

we are lacking an Off-spin or leg break bowler. and a fast bowler who can bat well.. And a good captain.. otherwise india wouldn't have a chance against us..

pakistan in the level of top teams such as ireland ?

[Tehsin]

Playing against a minnow like India ? ROFL/LMAO.

As for the third match, it may rain in Chittagong. Hopefully not.

[al Furqaan]

james...pak are a bigger minnow than india...and i'd put my money on bangladesh in a series against india, shobby/asif included.

SL without vaas, murly, jaya will trounce you in UAE...just watch and see...

Bangladesh caught up with Pakistan in 1999 in ODI. Bangladesh would have had their first test win against Pakistan as well if Pakistan hadn't cheated.

Either you saw anything sepecial in our team or not doesn't matter. At least young players -Tamim , Mashrafe, Ash, Razzak, Rafique, Saqib, Rasel have been talked about in the media recently for playing promising cricket, not for doing drugs or murdering their coach.

oh yeah this is BS, when u say Drugs make u bowl at dot. putting tendulkar on his toes. also how did pakistan cheat mate. WE lost from Ireland, becuase we didn't have Asif/Shoaib. Otherwise out attack is btr than aussies. Ok when is next series against pakistan. You will come to ground then

[quote=james007;450867]oh yeah this is BS, also how did pakistan cheat mate.

Rashid latif picked up the ball from ground, appealed for LBW and in-form batsman Kapali was given out. He could have score few more runs. (Test match in multan)

Did you watch Cricket recently?? How you consider Pakistan as a Top team? If you want to hurt BD fans...there is a lot of way...but plz try to comment on the basis of true facts. Thanks.

We have a long way to do no doubt, but perhaps not as long as you think it'll take us to get there. We're getting it together. It's a process, not an event. Back to the ODI series.

India was the hands-down better team in the last game and deserved to win for once. Piyush Chawla is quite a find. The rotation and deceptive nature of the flight when it’s there, alongside an uncanny ability to turn the ball and make it dip right before a possible contact with the bat, make him one to watch. It may be a bit too early to tell, but I won’t be surprised if the comparisons to Shane Warne are not deemed too premature before long. The straightening dip bamboozling Ashraful was a thing of less than subtle beauty. Gautam Gambhir, the latest edition of the sensible Indian opener in the tradition of Wasim Jaffer, delivered the goods. The question remains, as always, will he continue to do so, and for how much longer? Yuvraj Singh, Muhammad Kaif and now Dinesh Kartik add the type of Chamara De Silva-like youthful, positive burst to the overall Indian game at least I haven’t seen before. Irfan Pathan going back to his bowling roots, and his brother Yusuf waiting in the wings to have a go at opposition bowlers, add to that youthful dynamism. Last but not least, Manoj Tiwari, though we haven’t had the chance to see him in action yet, is the other real deal whose aggressive batting will take India to a brighter future.

Mashrafe Bin Murtaza remains the lone bright star in our team. Still very young and injury-prone, he shouldn’t be goaded into the all-rounder role like Irfan Pathan for obvious reasons. He needs to grow into that role at his own pace like an Imran Khan. We hope that others like Ashraful, Tamim, Shakib, Mushfiq and Razzak learn to glow just as consistently and brightly and make Bangladesh the world-beating young Tigers they can be before long. It’s not everyday that Bangladesh has a real chance to defeat its evidently more formidable and experienced neighbor and take the ODI series, yet we did after the World Cup. We missed a great opportunity the minute our team selectors decided that a continued Bashar inclusion, not just Captaincy, and Javed Omar’s painfully palpable limitations as a batsman are liabilities the team could shoulder without terrible consequences. They were wrong and we lost. Maybe a loss in not considered such a terrible thing to a has-been generation who don’t share the more positive attitude of their nephews, perhaps because as cricketers they never had that kind of talent themselves. I hope the likes of Alok Kapali, Nadif Chaudhury, Nafis Iqbal, and Junaid Siddique in the not too distant future, don’t continue to get the shaft because of their complex-laden minds.

The writing was on the wall when Bashar let the first ODI drip away from our grasp, one single at a time. Once again clueless, defensive field settings leaking more singles at critical junctures, and adding to early Indian hostilities cost us the second and decisive one. His weirdly gleeful come-back after a string of failures, meaning 43 from 88 balls chasing 280 plus after the team’s big guns have fallen by the wayside, just add to the frustrations, and pretty much exemplify the kind of ODI Captain slash self-centered batsman Bashar is. His dot-ball buddy Omar with a shaky strike rate of 52, went right back into that familiar shell and wasted the time that nobody except the Indians had in the match. To his partial credit, he did play out of his skin in the first ODI during one of those once-in-a-lifetime flukes that, unfortunately for the rest of us, introduced Ashraful and Aftab a little too late in the match with reasonably predictable results. Enough said. With the last ODI still to come in a few days, let’s see if our young Tigers can salvage the only thing they can at this point, and once again give us a glimpse of our own bright future...

Dude wake up and smell the coffee...also stop getting inspired by Shoaib Akhtar dont do drugs again my friend...and even if you do dont type when you are "high".... A loss against Ireland didnt bring you down to the ground then why do you think that a loss to Pakistan will bring us down to the ground...We have been in the pits for a long time and finally we are learning, so give us the time and we will make you eat your words...

Yea right you lost to Ireland because you didnt have Asif/Shoaib coz they are the best BATSMEN and would have taken the score to 333 instead of 133 with a 200 run partnership right?? Your bowlers did well that day, not your batsmen...

[israr]

I think playing against Pakistan also won't prove anything, because we Bangladeshis have risen over pak and india and catching up with WI.

There was a saying that i read somewhere... and posting a slightly modified version of it:

rashid latif dropping catch then picking the s**t up an appealing...also bunch of our lbw appeals when u were 9 wickets down were turned down - i'm sure at least 1 was a legit appeal.

better question is when did pakistan not cheat? from ball tampering to nuke weapons program - the [un]islamic republic is mostly everything but.

[james007]

lol ok if u can't beat minnow like India, how can u beat Pakistan?
