Ashraful's spin will be hammered against the Windies, we need to pick Riyadh over him for this match. Also, his batting didn't convince me that he deserves a position.

[zunaid_bd]

kemar roach took a hatrik today..really worried... but am preety sure that our batsmans are very confident against westindis

^ Give him some early smack, he will be all over the place.

[allrounder]

Pace is not an issue for us, swing is what can undo us. Unable to read the ball movement has always haunted the Bangladesh team until Tamim/Shakib came to the show. Even Shariar Nafees,Ashraful is from the group of players who used the "khocha" technique against fast bowlers.


Also getting lbw due to bad foot technique was a major concern, where the bat is behind the pad and batsmen easily got lbw. Remember Chaminda Vaas got hattrick and more in the first over against Bangladesh in WC?

[Dhakablues]

It was only our bowlers who didnt or couldnt bowl wicket to wicket to the lower order batsman during the India match.. Thats a basic that every team would do... bowl at the block hole, yorkers, straight to stumps, wicket to wicket.. thats how death over bowling is done. West Indies did that and Netherlands were too inexperienced to expect that kind of delivery. Simple as that.

They had Kemar Roach against South Africans but what happened there? Nothing,,he got 1/42 with over 5.25 per over... He is a a very good bowler no doubt but he is not Dale Styen or Mitchell Johnson that can be devastating with their variety and beat quality oppositions all the time..

The problem is these two aren't in good form - selecting either one is a Gamble as you don't know if they will click or not?

Yeah, smack has a tendency of doing that. Just to be clear, we're talking about Heroin, right?

[Farhad]

Although I agree we should have a balanced bowling attack, I feel like we're over-concerned about the number of left handed batsmen they have. The SLA's will still be effective if they bowl well. As a matter of fact, Seelar was Netherlands best bowler today...

[allrounder]

What is our batting and bowling average compared to West Indies?

[bd fan]

Its funny how a week ago everyone was sayin riyad should be out of team and now everyone's sayin he should be in the team. Riyad and Ashraful should both be out of the team, they are crap in my opinion. Replace them with Shuvo/Nafees (also naffes doesn't fit into the batting order)

P.S Rockibul is not a no. 6 batsman he is more like a grafter of the innings. Although there's nothing to do to solve this problem.

Don't forget we are always weaker against genuine pace so Roach is really a big worry.

That's not true. We played Roach in their own den and won matches. We played other fast bowlers as well, we are not bad at all.
His first few overs could be very pacy, a good player can milk run from him very nicely. I am only worry the very first ball from him. I know he got Tamim with his very first ball in 1st ODI in Dominica. He also had Watson with his very first ball in Australia. Nonetheless, after few balls, it is easy to score run against him than any other bowlers. Players (Bangladesh) who played in WI could be asset to against him. Ash was good against him.

[FaHiMa]

stupid long gaps between matches they`re soooo annoying !

[Duck]

Looking at individual player's performance, we did not see some of the key players playing at their 100%. They are mentally prepared to give that off course, but failed to translate them in real situation. Hope against WI they would come blazing. WI is not Ireland. Overall team effort may pull off a victory against Ireland, but a win against WI may need both: team effort as well as individual brilliance.

[Dhakablues]

The best person to be facing Roach is Ashraful or Shakib and Nafees with their improvised shots. Tamim has the tendency to hit it hard than using the pace of the ball and in the process can be beaten by slower balls or a yorker. Junaid, Ashraful or Shakib would be smacking Roach if they do get him!!

[allrounder]

Don't talk smack, if our players are improving so are the West Indians. Roach debuted against us so he was new, with experience definitely he can get better and WI is now full strength except without Bravo, but they have Gayle,Chanderpaul,Sarwan,Bravo,Smith. They are weaker in bowling without Edwards and Sammy is no good (how did he end up as Captain?).

I earlier had a question about the average batting and average bowling of WI compared to Bangladesh. That will give an idea about which team is stronger. Bangladesh is an underdog NOT minnow and should play as underdogs.

[Sovik]

I am not worried about their bowling attack. Its Ordinary, They have got 2 spinners, Benn and Miller are not any better than our Shakib or Razzak. I am hoping that none of our batsmen will throw their wickets.

Windies have a good batting order but also an inexperienced tail order. Gayle is a hit and miss, Chanderpaul is out of form and Pollard may not be effective against our spinners but Bravo and Sarwan could be the key. They can build innings while maintaining a healthy strike rate.

The key would be to get Gayle, Bravo and Sarwan and they will find hard to get out of that

I was just thinking of the same. Not to mention about the one side matches coming up until Friday which hardly helps!!

[SS]

How will be the Pitch...i hope it is not like the first game...khobor ase taile...our batsmen need to score really this time to compete.....last match TK and SK was dissapointing

[allrounder]

Next WC will be better, with 10 good teams and should have 2 games against the same team. Hope Bangladesh will make the cut. We should have more teams in other ICC tournaments instead of WC.

[bdtiger]

We need the turning wicket which weve'nt seen yet in the WC!
