I belive both zim and bd has improved their performance in recent years and closed the gap in odi with g8 team. Now they should play more matches with team like WI or NZ or Eng Or Pak. Then the world will understand that BD and zim are imporving...

hello, bro, i am glad you are not as blind as your name may suggest

[sharjilh]

oh great! Justintv again then lol...still not bad as long as I can watch the games

[nadim 98]

yes great news that super sports will brodcast the series....we will able to watch it guysssssssssss

[Rommel]

Since it looks like we are stuck with Junaid, I am hoping he will have a big series. Hopefully he can regain some confidence. He's looking ok in Tests but pretty horrible in ODIs.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Our biggest weaknesses going into this game:

1) Complacency
2) Batting

[mijanur]

i will cry till i die if thers no link

[Nafi]

Wont be able to catch the match, I have an english literature exam that morning

[nadim 98]

i can watch all the match only 1st innings.......because after got school

[Spitfire_x86]

Do we have to suffer CJS/Khodabox & Co's commentary?

[sandpiper]

Its my earnest request to emerging tigers that they give cent percent concentration and take this closely ranked opponent seriously. I am worried about the batting department. Top orders are still fragile and need to figure out their errors. If batting and bowling is there up to the par, I dont see any reason losing to the visitors.

[mijanur]

hope ash and shakib can score centuries

[mijanur]

bangladesh will kill them

there is no such thing as "lucky charm" in Islam...it is called "আল্লাহর রহমত"


anyways...from the past, i personally have sensed Dark waves of energy associated with Bangladesh Cricket Team...it is as if some miserable people took out their failures from their life and attempted to find peace with this cricket team...and then the energy remained.(my understanding of life...)

না আর না! আমি প্রতিদিন দোয়া করব... আল্লাহর রহমত প্রতিদিন হবে। আমরা শব খেলা জিতব...

[Rifat]

our players have the ability to win against anybody, anywhere...something we didn't have in the past!

[nycpro96]

inshallah we will destroy them

Guys according to shomokal newspaper Srilanka board has withdrawn their ban to their ICL players, what do you think??

idk. maybe we should lift the ban. we sort of need kapali, SN, and aftab but think about this. BD cricket has changed for the good since they left.

[al Furqaan]

zimbabwe are probably too good to be destroyed (or we are too weak).

but i want to see comfortable wins in all 3 matches. based on potential and stuff, this should not even be a close series, but then again we weren't supposed to lose to zimbabwe in the tri-series.

we need to win the matches by 50+ runs or 5 wickets with 10 overs to spare. we have the ability.

as for zimbabwe, they got their victory which their potential merits...its time to make sure we know how to set things right.

[wiseshah]

double thread
double expectations
double century =century + century
double strike
double fun
double excitement
double victory--- in a row

[cricket_king]

Woah two thread openers! Meaning two-times the revenge. We need to thrash them to prove that loss was a fluke. God I hope the batting clicks...

[kmasum]

good luck tigers ! its time for revenge!!

[Yasin.]

Two match threads = Double the joy.

I feel sorry for Zimbabwe - There are no innings loss in ODIs, but after this match there will be.

PS : Dont mark my words.

If they can come back this will give a good competition among the players to keep their place in the team which mean more effective result for us. Not necessarily we have to pick those ICL exodus immediately in the team rather they should prove themselves and that will bring more characteristics among all the players.

[mijanur]

it will be revenge time for the tigers
