Pak Aus is a day night match and we are playing day match. Wish it was the other way around...

One thing I've noticed about facing the Mighty SA. No one is saying that SA is not good enough for us or We'll beat them comprehensively and all that sort of trash talk. Everyone is respecting SA. Good to see that we are giving credit where it belongs...

As long as no performance like with the ball against India or with the bat against WI I'll be happy come win, loss or a tie.

Our plan should be to stay in the game and make it tight. Ball wicket to wicket. Line and length. Field like your life depends on it. Bat sensibly, take singles, no runouts, build partnerships, someone score a century and keep wickets in hand. If bat first 260 would be a good score in Mirpur and will keep us in the game, inshaallah! If bowl first restrict them below 260.

I feel sad for most of us because we are extremely hopeful and tend to forget the reality. I hope we can control our emotions atleast and get behind the boys even if they dont make it to the next round. Comon Boys give your best shot. Even if you fail, i will be happy with you.

[Shakil_TX]

Does anyone for sure if Dale Steyn and Imran Tahir are playing?

According to PA, they are likely to play the full strength squad.

[irampool]

I guess Botha will be kept in the XI instead of Tahir considering the fact that we have all lefties up to No.5.

[6alltheway]

I look forward to bangladesh matches so much, have butterflies in my stomach but when the match comes. I hate it, dont enjoy it at all coz its so long! 20-20 is so much easier on my nerves!

[revolver]

Yessss I'm going to watch the match lol... I have payed 6 pounds on vodaphone simcard to watch sky sports and other channels for a month and it works perfectly...thank you allah

Shakib Al Hasan didn't even watch the whole match. "When Chris Gayle was batting, I was watching. After that, I watched Hindi movies," he said.

I wish somehow Ash was in the team. May be instead of Big Z. Ash gives me hope of a miracle ...

[samira]

^ Yep, as only a miracle will get us through today, might as well go for a Hail Mary pick like that.

Ash gives me hope of a dissaster(for BD)

[One World]

Aftab could be a better choice for No. 7

সময়টা চুরি করে...

[tkandi4]

March is a special month for Bangladesh. We will win on March 19, inshallah.
