I like to think I'm BC's lucky charm... I was banned for the world cup and australia series and we got thrashed + now the Zimbabwe test... But when I was here for the Zimbabwe 2010 series, we won

I must say, Imrul had an extremely good economy rate... Haha!
But Razzak has always had batting potential, but then again, as did Raqibul Hasan.

[simon]

^^lol,I didn't know u were banned back then,so 2 bans right?
yr name shld be "Bannguy" from now on.

we have to play extremely bad for this to happen..i think it'll be a 3-2 no matter who wins...series could be decided in 4 matches..5th match would have no effect

[rinathq]

my XI

Tamim
Imrul
Nafees
Ash
Riyad
Hom
Shakib
Mushfiq
Razzak
Shafi
Nazmul

I am playing 2 pacers, 1 spinner (Raj), 2 allrounders (Shak and Riyad), 1 occasional (Ash)
Strong batting lineup no reason not to score 300+ which is the key in this wicket

[Shartaz]

What if we keep losing like New Zealand did against us back in November of 2010.

I'm sure after losing the first match or even the second, they wanted to make a strong statement. I hope I wrong though.

[Ace of BD]

will be end of shakib's captaincy for sure if that happens....

Nasir has much better List A records. He is a capable offie too. I would rather love to see Nasir gets the first game.

I want to drop Shafiul for the first match and play A. Razzak. Still he is a must choice for ODIs.

I expect that we will lose an early wicket. So, we need a right handed batsmen to face vitori and jarvis. Moreover, I think 3 pacer is a must on this pitch. In the test, pacers (zimbabwean though) got good movement than any of the spinners did. And when our 2 pacers (rubel & shafi) seemed to struggle, its better to have a back up bowler Nazmul.

Can't wait two more days!

Vitori won't be that much effective in ODI, this is my guess.

If our pacers bowl the same kind of trash as they did in test, then I won't think playing 2 or 3 pacers would make any difference.

The matter of fact, all of our bowlers bowled trash. Even Shakib, razzaq kept bowling on leg side, short pitched balls and pacers bowled all over the place. But its a new ball game. Hopefully they will bowl better line and length in ODI.

I have a feeling shakib & Co. will go for 3 pacers.

[nahaz]

Shall we win this match?

Fo shizzle, ma nizzle!!

[simon]

can't underestimate Vitori,he is really good vs lefties,so agree with Naimul bh,Ash at 3,besides he got runs in Test
