Match Thread: 20th Match, Group 2 - Bangladesh v West Indies at Dhaka; March 25, 2014 (19:30 Local | 13:30 GMT)

[Shehwar]

West Indies and Gail are on song so the odds are against us. Then again if we have a spinning track and the players perform then who knows! I'm pretty sure the West Indians are dreading this match!!

[Gowza]

WI have gayle and narine so this could be a tough match.

A very interesting piece on tactics in t20 by warne...wonder how mushi's thought process goes..

[MohammedC]

Keep calm and play cricket.

[epitaph]

Surely Reza will be dropped, and surely, Razzak should be dropped, but the latter is prolly too much to ask.

Remember, the T20 WC squad was picked before the Asia Cup. Back then, nobody cared much for Zia either, we didn't know as much about either of them as we do now, and to most, it didn't matter much which of the two got picked. More people may even have favored Reza. Hindsight is 20/20.

I don't know why they picked the T20 WC squad so early though. That's the real issue...Unless there was a deadline for squad submission from ICC.

The practice and the group matches served as a good platform to evaluate Reza. And we saw in the Asia Cup that Zia potentially has a place in the squad. I'm sure future decisions regarding the two will be correct.

Seriously? So when your team is down and struggling, suddenly your heart can't support them anymore? The Tigers need more support now than ever. I wish fans would realize this. We're in the middle of a freaking World Cup, now is not the time to give up.

We don't play on the field. The players does.

Also regardless how they play, the stadium is always full and provide unconditional support when they play.

Its not the fans, but the players and the management who need to realizing that making same mistake again and again is just killing the hope of winning games. Unless they fixes the problem, support or no-support is no goining to make any difference.

Caribbeans are hard nut to crack in T20s. Our bowling isn't good enough.

this is the time to support our team ^^^

If the Tigers willing to perform like they did against the Afghans, professional performance in all three departments - fielding, bowling and batting, plus, good team selection by getting rid of the non-performers, we shall win it.

Ask Gayle who is Gazi!


T20 is anybody's game! Complacency might be WI's prob knowing we lost to Hong Kong! Never know...

So basically what you are telling is a stadium full of people and an empty stadium is the same thing ?
Pls keep this kind of theory to yourself, thanks.

Whatever 1% chance we have against WI might come down to the toss... If we can bowl first to somehow restrict them, we might pull of a close one, considering if Tamim can keep his wicket.

If you are thinking about dew - we are playing in Dhaka and dew seems not a factor so far at SBNS. But, seeing how we batted first against Hong Kong, bowl first would be the better option for sure.

Whitewash coming up.

Gayle thinks otherwise Time to teach him a lesson maybe?

[Rinathq]

It would be unwise to go after their wickets. If I were Mushy, I would work on saving runs (except Gayle)
Restrict them under 170, and we have an interesting game in hands.

Thats not what I said. no where I said "stadium full of people and an empty stadium is the same thing " So please don't make up things.

Here it what I said.

We don't play on the field. The players does.

Also regardless how they play, the stadium is always full and provide unconditional support when they play.

Its not the fans, but the players and the management who need to realizing that making same mistake again and again is just killing the hope of winning games. Unless they fixes the problem, support or no-support is no goining to make any difference.

To clarify: When there is no game, we can criticize and show our frsutration, but when the team play, we go to stadium or watch game live and give full support. But eventually its the player who can make a difference.


And btw its a fan's message board. You have all the right to disagree with another member's comment but it's silly to ask somebody to not express his opinion just becasue you don't agree with the cooment.

In such case, I think having a spin priority attack is best option. Maximum 1 pacer.
