South Africa tour: Expectations / hopes

[fwullah]

My expectation / hope:

Like before, one or two good fifties should not be enough for the batsman to keep his place in the side for the next tour.

We will need consistent successful performance.

[Mahmood]

My hope, 100+ innings each time.

[James90]

An innings of 200+ and maybe even a 5 for for Manju or Sujon

[Mahmood]

It shouldnt be. But it is.

Reality!!!

[handle]

My hope : that they don't get crushed every game, and that the whole world doesn't start crying "why the &^%$ did we give 'em test status"

My expection : they will get crushed every game, and the whole world will continue to scream "why the &^%$ did we give 'em test status ?"

this bangladesh team is now worse than kenya, no doubt.

aside from blaming the players for all their sins, one has to also remember what a burden it must be to play or coach for an organization like the BCB. they have taken the one rare thing that was working in bangladesh and have managed to screw it up. i recently read they can't even get the domestic competition started in time. and then there is a fight going on in the high court between the Board and the President.

so what can we really expect in south africa other than wasting time in front of the computer screen (or the tv for the lucky ones)

[Tehsin]

Our bowlers may bring us some joy during the 50 overordeals but our batting will surely (for reasons unknown) falter against the pace of the South African's. We couldn't stand up against South Africa A team the last time we played there, forget the likes of Donald, Klusener and Pollock.

Expectation: At least one 200+ score with loses ranging around 150 runs and/or 8 wickets or less.

Por Khawa Expectations (Reality): ONE 100+ innings, one or two 200+ losses and 10 wicket losses in the ODi. *sigh*
