Tell me about it!
We must be the only country where the national airline doesn't land at the capital first and lands in another city.

Atm, Biman first lands at Sylhet from Heathrow. You sit in the aircraft for an hour ( you are not allowed to get off! ) and then in 30 mins. you arrive at Dhaka.
Previously, you landed at Dhaka and all the Sylhetis were given free hotel for overnight stay ( 3* hotel ) and then the next day, they took a flight to Sylhet.

I guess by having a stopover at Sylhet, it saves Biman money in jet fuel costs or having another aircraft ready to go to Sylhet.

I thnk 3 wins wont be enough here unless other big teams mess it up really badly. We may not be out of the world cup just yet, but realistically we are out. Would be happy if we stay at #5

The problem with that is even if we win all those games our rivals Australia and NZ will edge ahead of us thanks to the wins we handed to them being direct rivals and the better NRR they have

Both NZ and Aus are now just one more win away to mathematically confirming their place and we know SA is not going to stop Aus and both WI, Pak are not going to stop NZ. Their NRR is also better than us so equalling them on points will also not be enough .

The only other option is if England/India does a major mess up of their games which isn't happening.

In short we need the kind of luck Pakistan got in 1992 to go through now maybe more.

So as days pass by Mushfiqs double run out blunders seems more costly

[NoName]

Yup that NZ match....

[Zeeshan]

lol......whatever

[Jadukor]

Gulbadin and MS Dhoni

[dolcevita]

Decision to bowl first against England
Mushik's heroics against New Zealand
Rain against Sri Lanka

[i_am_ringo]

don’t feed this thread. Let it die

[Nafi]

everytime Mash is in the playing XI

[ToBeFair]

We still have two more matches on our hand to create new moments that will compensate for the lost moments and propel us to semi

As Jadukor said, you will spill some chances, but if you are a good team, you have to keep generating new chances.

[Rifat_02]

One more to add to the list

Tamim Iqbal's batting and his catching

[tiger1000]

Injuries happen

Toss is chance

We failed to run Williamson out and catch rohit

That cost us 4 points, fact.

[Jadukor]

Gulbadin Iqbal

[Rifat_02]

Starting each game with 10 men another one

[adamnsu]

Tamim drop catch
Brain freezes by top order

[bolero]

Gulbadin Vs Pak.
Dhoni and Kedar Vs England
BDesh losing very close match to NZ

[CricLoverUK]

Tamim dropping Rohit Sharma on 9 runs

[salin]

1. Mahmudullah absence ...
2. 5 days leave.
atodin suti katanote shorir mon shob sere dise. 1jon easy catch sere dise r 1jon konorokome dhorse (rohit). fielding e 30 run beshi dise

[DilzLFC]

Stop playing Zimbabwe every ****ing year.

[roman]

1. Mushy's run out miss of kane
2. Tamim's dropped catch

[Hawk-Eye]

Selecting one player over and over who is not doing any good to the team cost us the semi final spot. You can't play every matches with 10 men at this stage.
