Bangladesh have CT advantage.

[brockley]

They are playing NZ and Ireland before the CT.They will aclimtize to the conditions.
We on the other hand do not,unless we hurriedly book somthing in Scotland or Holland.
The CT is in June/July we have no more one dayers left,and our side looks like its in a mess.

WHO are THEY

[NoName]

ICC tournaments tend to roll out flat pitches, conditions won't be such a huge factor.

If its flat pitches then India will win.

"They" means Australia. Australia's ODI team has sooo much potential but its a mess in the sense that there seems to be no designated roles for any of the batsman. One game Mitch Marsh bats at 4 like ru srs lol. Bailey gets dropped even though he is basically the consolidator. Idk what Aussie selectors were thinking putting Maxwell, Lynn, Mitch Marsh as the middle order, as talented as they may be you need a grinder like Bailey to break up that middle order a bit. And Wade had to play that role against Pak when the whole middle order collapsed. Can't expect a no. 7 batsman to do that all the time.

Bowling looks alright though. But Australia's batting is going to be a massive let down. However i think this top 7 would be ideal for them.

1. Warner
2. Head
3. Smith
4. Bailey
5. Lynn/Stoinis
6. Maxwell
7. Wade

Balanced. Got the firepower. Got the accumulators as well. Bangladesh are over them in the sense that we know who plays what role and what each person needs to do in different situations. Shakib frees himself a bit. Tamim hits boundaries. Sabbir tries to get on the top of the bowlers. Mushy is a strike rotator in the middle periods and goes for the killer blows in the final overs. Mosaddek is the finisher.

Whereas you look at Australia's current ODI team and you have no idea who is filling what role in the batting team. Finishers are batting up the order, the are dropping accumulators from the team. Australia just want to hit 400 runs every game by the looks of the XI they are selecting. Selectors need to get it right and let the players feel comfortable and let them get used to their role in the team instead of all this chopping and changing.

And NZ?
How about Eng?

The Title should say, "Bangladesh and New Zealand".

You are underestimating your own team, mate, likes of Stoinis, Warner, maxwell would slaughter any bowling attack if even a hint of flatness is there in any pitch. We are weaker than what we look on papers, our middle order often misfire or don't fire at all

Too much reliance on Kohli and Rohit Sharma

Brockley focus on the task ahead, next series. Don't worry about CT. CT is long away, and it will be won by least one of my team, Mostly likely England beating Aus in the final

Hope Australia wins the series ahead First time, I will be supporting Australia in a test series wholehearted
