A truly magical game. Drama, courage, perseverance...it had it all.

-Saiful should have been the man of the match, Bowling and now Batting. Simply WOW!!!
-Junaid need to be kicked out of the team, very mediocre at batting and makes the same mistake.
-Raqibul, Mushy, Nayeem is mediocre (bring Jaharul), why give non performers billion chances.
- Shakib and his premeditated shot are getting on my nerves
-Saiful...A REAL TIGER'S CUB!!!

Shafiul has to be our batting coach .......

we should have won it easily .......

we could have lost it

but we won it

Jadukor · #4 March 11, 2011, 12:36 PM

kick out Junaid... bring in Nafees
kick out Naeem... bring in Shuvo or Nazmul
rest of it still is okay...

Great game.

Top order was decent, but middle order still looks fragile. Should avoid unnecessary run outs. That doesn't mean they should stop rotating the strike though. Captaincy and Bowling was bang on. Fielding was largely good.

And that should be end of Ash. I've been saying this for a while, but BD is a LOT BETTER TEAM WITHOUT ASH. Period. Never ever get him back in the team.

Best game of the tournament so far. Have to give credit to Jimmy Anderson, he gave a lot of extras and contributed to Bangladesh's win.

aosaif · #7 March 11, 2011, 12:42 PM

Main worry is the batting form of Junaid, Mushfiq and Rokibul. All need to grow a pair.....each.

Batting 2nd has always been our strategy after winning the toss. Don't know why we tried to set a target against West Indies when historically we have failed to set decent targets. Our first innings batting failures are often masked by our consistently outstanding bowling performances.

South Africa are unpredictable. They could slaughter us, or it could turn out like this match.....another roller coaster ride.

You can't be serious? 2 key wickets and tight bowling. You still want him out?

FaHiMa · #9 March 11, 2011, 12:44 PM

What a roller-coaster of a game! 169-8 to winning the game!

i too still see no reason holding onto both mahmudullah and naeem. Naeem hasnt done much with his batting so bringing in shuvo in his place gives us more specialized spin option .

Nayeem deserves to play in the main XI as an off spiner. He is bowling well in this WC 2011 but batting is crap.

I'm no naeem fan, but he's the best fielder + is bowling pretty well. As there's already 2 SLAs, think Naeem is the better option. And Shuvo's fielding and bowling has gone downhill lately.

But...but....I thought Ash helps the team with his cheerleading skills.

Great game of emotion,,,, I'm really really happy for winning this.
A defeat in this game could have put a lots of ?s and shattered our
confidence even more than the last game.
Looking forward for the next two games and praying that we can
make to to QF.
After Wc is over we have to redesign our batting order and seriously
we need to think about a WK.

Bangladesh:

-Toss was critical, finally the much discussed 'dew factor' came into play. While it might not have made much physical difference, it certainly pissed off Swann enough to throw him off his game. The time England took to calm down, we scored some crucial runs.

-Razzak bowled well, he has been poor for me this WC, nice thing was...everyone who got a bowl, chipped in. A great collective effort from all the bowlers.

-Fielding was good(catching was excellent), but the run out attempts were poor(things could have been even worse for England)

-Batting wise, another good start from Tamim and Imrul, bu that middle order is horrible. I believe out of all the teams with a win in this WC, with the exception of Canada, we have the worst middle order.

-Brilliant belief shown by Riad and Shafiul towards the end, that was the stuff of dreams.

England:

-Most entertaining team at this World Cup by a country mile.
-Batting was dismal tonight
-Anderson has to be rested, also what is the point of Collingwood, if he comes to bat at no.8 and is 6th bowler?

amar11432 · #17 March 11, 2011, 01:11 PM

I still can't believe Shaifuls batting abilities, 2

1

in ONE over. How did he have the courage to take on the English bowlers when our batsmen failed.

inspyr9 · #18 March 11, 2011, 01:16 PM

that was a masterstroke to drop ashraful. he would have never done what riyad did today which is stay calm , not give away his wicket and stay till the end.

I disagree. I have not seen too many pre-meditated shots today but rather Shakib's partnership with Imrul was the backbone of BD's innings. He is by far a captain who does well in pressure situation.

amar11432 · #20 March 11, 2011, 02:03 PM

^^ Shakib played well today but he tries those stupid unnecessary cheeky shots that Ashrafools also plays, then get out in crucial moments.

allrounder · #21 March 11, 2011, 02:10 PM

How can Mushfiq be in the national XI? Time for Mushfiq to sit out for the rest of the matches.

Abirz · #22 March 11, 2011, 02:28 PM

Although we won in the end, we cant overlook the batting failure by our batsmen, Evryone is calling for SN in place of Rok!

Akib · #23 March 11, 2011, 02:33 PM

Mushfiq was disappointing. His wicket keeping was great (except that drop), but his batting was useless. Scored nothing and wasted a lot of time.

Yea Mushfiq is partly responsible for Shakib's dismissal, he put too much pressure on him by not taking singles

bd fan · #25 March 11, 2011, 02:53 PM

because of shafiul we won.... he shud be given more credit-- shafiul made 24 runs off 24 balls and mahmudullah got 21 runs off 42 balls Mahmudullah nearly costed us the match.

And I thought mahmuudullah was supposed to bat like a top order batsmen. Well... he was lucky shafiul saved him otherwise loads of people would be bashing mahmudullah.... Shafiul played much better. I remember Mahmudullah edging a ball which just fell short to the wicket keeper.

When mahmudullah came out to bat i was really angry, it was like he wanted the team to lose. I mean he had no intention to try and hit a boundary. Instead he was defending and the reqired run rate was creeping up to seven and a half. But shafiul then the next over scored i think a four and a six to mantain the required run rate.

I remember mullah doin this before in previous matches, where it looked like all he cared about was his average.

-Please don't get angry at me, I am extremely happy that Bangladesh won, but just saying that mahmudullah didn't actually play that well
