Being polite is good. But to do that you don't have to sell us out!

Our fans are as knowledgeable as any other top cricket nations (if not better).

And obviously Rajkumer Raj

Is Alamin a better option than Rubel in T-20s? Can't decide. Alamin was poor against Afghanistan

By the way above live broadcasters list need to be verified. I just checked Channel 9 Australia’s TV guide and they haven’t updated it yet.

Only Foxtel in Aus, channel 9 isnt showing it.

I feel al amin is more of an attacking bowler and can leak runs however rubel is more of a miser in giving away runs if used for short spells like in T20.

So which bowler would you pick against Nepal?

[ashrafi_mahb]

I think Al Amin is better than Rubel, . last match was just a isolated incident. but seriously we need better fast bowlers.

[Bonglababu]

I don't mind dropping Reza

[BD_TigerZ]

Can'tunderstand the selection of reza..picked as a bowler who is ssimply not good enough to bowl more than an over..and worthless with the bat strivkibg below 100.

Sabbir and Nasir can ball their full quota and would still have a lower economy than reza 75/100 times..not to mention the spin that is being extracted from the track.

I say pick shamsur or Momin.

[Naimul_Hd]

Bangladesh's highest score is 190 in T20. Can we score 200 against either Nepal or HK if we bat first ?

[jashan83]

Well I feel overconfidence now creeping into BD. In my prediction they will defeat Nepal but in the game against HK they might screwup because they will surely have overconfident by that time

Not sure against Nepal. But if we bat first against HK, I don't see any reason for us not to get 200+.

Their bowling is probably the worst in this WC.

[Jadukor]

If the pitch is anything like the one we played Afghanistan, then going for too many runs might become a seriously bad move. I think that was a 120-140 pitch at most. The batsman need to be careful in assessing what sort of pitch it is and then set a target to achieve.

I'll say, send opponent bat first in those situations. We scored our lowest ever 50 over totals last 50 over world cup batting first. We were not surely that bad as that looked like.

We are playing in CTG, where there wasn't any big turn like was in Mirpur.

[WorldCup11]

That pitch had greens. I am sure the pitch we will play will be shaved tomorrow morning. It will look hard looking from above but from first ball we'll see turn and bounce.

We got some plan this time - may be

[weekyd]

The Afghans were spineless but this Nepal team is not a push over by any stretch of the imagination. I just hope our players are not too relaxed before going in to this game.

I think he was intended to be in the team to bowl the middle-death overs. He did indeed have a limited role yesterday but he adds a lot in the fielding department which is crucial in t20s as think we need to start looking beyond batting/bowling capabilities alone in this format of the game. That run out of Mongol yesterday was outstanding as those moments of brilliance are game changers as he seems to hit the stumps very often.

[BD_TigerZ]

^Mominul and shamsur are excellent fielder too if not better than reza.

[Yameen]

Disagree, they are good fielders but Reza is extremely quick and very good at cutting down angles across the field. Good throwing arm too as we saw yesterday.

[WorldCup11]

The way this team beats afghans, they deserves to go next match unchanged. Those two direct hit runouts were vital.

Only change I'll suggests is Razzak only if pitch doesn't help spin. Razzak could be deadly bowler if pitch assist, otherwise on a flat or batting friendly track he doesn't use his brain like Shakib does.

[Nadim]

Off topic: How come they didn't used the LED bails yesterday? They are using them today in the warm up game between NZ and PAk. Looks very cool!


perhaps they didn't arrive on time?

[Roni_uk]

Nepal is on top of the point table with 4+ NRR. I hope those balls towards the end Amanul wasted do not come back and haunt us!!
