'Now 4-0 is very possible' - Shakib Al Hasan

BANFAN · #1 October 12, 2010, 03:59 AM

Do you think it's possible to win 4-0 against this side? Please vote, would be nice to see if the expectations of fans & team match. For me, YES it's possible. But not sure if our team can do it.

Yes, it is possible. But lets have the series first in the next match

Miraz · #4 October 12, 2010, 04:49 AM

Shakib spoke a bit too early. Should have spoken after winning the 3rd match. Still 2-2 very much possible.

I dnt think so. Its a psychological pressure to NZ team as next match is the most vital in deciding series win.

If NZ wins the next match, the pressure will be back on Bangladesh again.

I think the only way Bangladesh will make a mark in the cricket world is by issuing bold statements and then making them reality. Moreover this way New Zealand will be under even more pressure.

Agreed - one should speak of 4-0 series win, only after it is 3-0!

May be Ice Man is playing a mental game!!!?

I also think he mentioned about 4-0 little early. This might charge up NZ rather than putting mental pressure on them. Just think of it this way...If Irish Captain Says winning against BD is very much possible, wont you get charged up a bit? He could've said it in a different way. I hope we can make it 4-0. If we can do so, can we get into top 8??

well Irish captain actually did say this and BD instead charged up lost 1 match. So hopefully same happens to Kiwi.

lol.. I didnt know that Irish captain actually made that comment..But i think you got my point

Purna · #13 October 12, 2010, 05:29 AM

Well, according to many philosophers you can do anything if you try, but then again some say that it is not possible to do everything because life is hard. So, I am really confused: well, I think that it is possible for an able and young team like Bangladesh to accomplish anything and everything, but they just have to avoid making the mistakes which they usually do, like misfielding. If they continue playing as they had in the first two ODIs....yes it's possible! But I too think Shakib-Al-Hasan said it out too early...because New Zealand may also return with more strength and power....in that case, Shakib would be embarrassing all of us.

He won't embarrass me. There is nothing wrong with having a positive attitude. We've already defeated them twice in this series and we are yet to be defeated. Going for 4-0 is not unrealistic, its very much possible and if we do fail, atleast we'll know that the team came out to win and fought till the very end. As long as our players stay confident and don't play games for a respectable defeat I'm fine with it. We should always look to win.

Fantastic post. He won't embarrass me either.

Habib · #16 October 12, 2010, 05:35 AM

So who were complaining that Shakib isn't ambitious as a captain huh?

riankhan · #17 October 12, 2010, 05:58 AM

Shakib just said it is very much possible. And as he believes so. He didn't say its bound to happen or "we will"
Appreciate his positive attitude. Those associate days are long gone

akabir77 · #18 October 12, 2010, 06:41 AM

Yes we can

It is very possible if BD players can sustain their form, NZ batsmen are having vodoo effect. If BD can get McCulm out early, they will win. We havn't even bowl Riyad 10 overs

Tiger444 · #21 October 12, 2010, 07:11 AM

I believe its very possible that we win..if the spinners continue their good work and the pacers don't leak too many runs then I can see us winning..the Kiwis batting is just pitiful and I just don't see them recovering..they got huge issues against spin and it doesn't look like a quick fix..as long as the batsmen don't screw up we should be fine..

M.H.Rubel · #22 October 12, 2010, 07:13 AM

NZ is a very professional team with lot of talented players.We have won consecutive matches against them but it will not be wise if we disregarde their strength.No i want to be realistic first we need to secure the next match and win the series then whatsoever.So voted for no.
I am just thinking about a series win.Age aam bachai pore sala dekhbo.

First make it 3-0

A 4-0 is more possible than New Zealand winning three games

Go for it, Sakib ... win the next one, and make em play for pride.

_Rafi_ · #25 October 12, 2010, 08:33 AM

I think journalists asked him 4-0 possible or not and Shakib respond it by saying it is possible. I dont find anything wrong with this.
