I do not see this as a pressure game, rather it this as an opportunity for Bangladesh to shut Critics mouth and Bring on our "A game". things have rather been made easy for us.

Don't get me wrong, i can bet you this West Indies psuedo national team is probably much stronger than our U-19 or some of our club teams back home...they are just as good outfit, but not as hyped.

Let's make the most of this once in a century opportunity and Prove that the tag of "Test Status" associated with our Cricket team has immense value and potential.

Actually, this îs a no win situation for us. A win against these half players will be interesting only for record books, no one will value it as our achievement as a test team. On the other hand, if we lose to them, you will feel the reaction from the media. A full strength WI has their own problems and we, with a little commonsense, could have fought or even won against them. So, it is a missed opportunity.

I'll be surprised if this test doesn't get heavily affected by rain, the forecast looks terrible

Our batsman need to use their brain...this match mainly depend on them.

nzfan · #**210** July 9, 2009, 03:46 AM

apparently braithwaite has scored 30-40 centuries in youth cricket...

battye · #**211** July 9, 2009, 03:49 AM

Bangladesh are absolutely going to clean up against this "West Indies" eleven! BD will probably win inside 3 or 4 days!

I have never even heard of their captain before! Look at it this way, these matches are going to provide useful match practice ahead of the series against Zimbabwe!!!!

Orpheus · #**212** July 9, 2009, 04:01 AM

Bangladesh is gonna lose by an innings.

Nope. That West Indies squad is so weak... Mashrafe should, if he wins the toss, let them bat first regardless of the conditions (I don't know how the pitch is). BD will bowl them out for less than 100... it will be West Indies that lose by an innings.

All of the Bangladesh fans seem to me very worried that BD will still lose in this series! Don't worry! It won't happen... Bangladesh will win both Test matches, enjoy the series!

Ashraful, Nafis Iqbal, Al-shahriar etc were practically superstars in the age levels. What happened to them?

Don't expect age level forms to carry.

Gowza · #**219** July 9, 2009, 04:54 AM

braithwaite is touted as the next lara, barath is also touted as a future superstar of international cricket. some of the WI players could be tough to handle e.g. tino best and ryan austin. if BD don't win this test series the whole cricket fraternity will be screaming for their test status to be revoked.

yaseer · #**220** July 9, 2009, 04:55 AM

Feeling pathetic and nervous.

Desperately expecting a win which is only gonna boost the record book. It will be a package of disaster if we loose...like, PCB will be jumping to remove our test status.

After all these tension, there is no gain but risk of loosing everything.

Nafis 1718 · #**221** July 9, 2009, 04:57 AM

i wish the match doesnt get spoiled due to rain......awful weather out thr........

That was in reply to "@henrygayle Thoughts on who is going to win the Ashes?? I reckon it might be a draw" ... he meant to say "Can't say, not watching it" with regards to the Ashes

Relax, thise WI team is bellow per compare to WI A team, so there is a huge possibility of positive result in favor us, and if we cant achieve that then we dont deserve to play at this level. So we should accept the a$$ kicking in that case.
