Not content with the win as 8 wickets or even 9 wicket victories were on the cards. But, a win is a win I guess.

It sucked. We bowled like a club team, kept like a golir team and batted like we were trying real hard to get back in form (which we probably were) with traditional hiccups near the end. Could have been a lot more clinical, but a win is a win.

coould have won by 8 wickets. ash gave away again

Well done boys! Good batting by Iqbal and Ashraful, their partnership was able to get us through and win the match.

Overall it wasn't a very good performance, our middle order batsman were unable to follow Iqbal & Ashraful's lead and our bowling wasn't very impressive. But a win is a win, I hope we can perform better in the next match.

Lots of fans here complain that the batting was slow, but look at the way Aust/India batted, just 229 runs in 50 overs, India made these runs in 48.2 overs, so dont bash BD please. BD was determined to win this ODI and also India, so they just took their time because there was no rush.

Don't forget that our Ice man was in the middle. A 100 more runs would have been piece of cake.... :p

Why are members here so dissatisfied over this win, what if BD had lost?
I do agree that it was not the best batting, but think about the players in the middle, they are the ones who are under pressure, Both Tamim and Ash were under pressure to score, they tried it is the best possible way they could. Members here are quick to criticize and condemn.Just check out India's scoring rate in the 3rd ODI against the Aussies, when Yuvraj and Dhoni were batting, they scored big, but at a snail's pace, so chill out you guys, and give the boys a pass at times.

Judging by the fans reaction in here, we have moved to a new level.
previously we would search for *positives* in rubbish losses against zimbabwe.
Now we find negatives in a game we won with 60~balls to spare .

All everyone saying here is play sensible cricket, from wining position Bangladesh failed often.
