This tournament looks like a Powerpoint presentation by Sri Lanka, of the recent past (their first two games) and what the future would be (the third and the fourth).

In the first game against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka conceded the biggest ever victory of the Tigers. Today they have almost done the complete opposite.

The Tigers are in the final anyway and they have enough adrenaline thanks to this defeat, to do their best.

Congrats SL! Dominating win!

Just hoping Hathura doesn’t take our lungs out in final.

Just a bad bad day at the office.

I am actually happy that this happened today, should help the players guard against complacency before the final.

At the same time, I hope our boys don't lose all their confidence just over one defeat.

I think you're right. Very hard to win 5 in a row.

From one of the largest wins to one of the largest defeats!

Polapine ra kotto Haturi re chotto korar jonno drama khujtesilo!!! Koto ANamul and Nasir er jonno kanna kaati na korle!!! Kotto na popmous hoye gesillio!!

Now flat back to the ground just like our over egoistic players!

Haturi did the same with us. Took a lacklustre team who were losing to Associates to a level where we white washing Pakistan and beating India and South Africa!

Haturi knew Anamul and Nasir were not good enough for the team!!!!

Be humble in victory and defeat! Dont be petty

How pathetic performance by the entire team. Team was hiding behind the batting performance of tamim-sakib combo in the whole series for runs. Once they both failed, the rest has been exposed.

How long can we effort to carry these dead woods that's the question. Anamul/Riyad/Nasir is useless. Sabbir is not reliable. Mushfiq is not getting runs like before. Mashrafee is no good with the bat.

May be ChaCha should spend more time with Anamul/Riad/Nasir/Mashrafee/Sabbir/Mushfiq rather teaching batting to the tail enders. Because they are the once who needs help.

What a comment. Words of a great author. Conveys a lot.

Nasir is useless. Anamul is useless. Sabbir is useless. Riyad is Useless. 4deadwoods/pedestrians. This isnt good for the team.

Mossadekk, Soumya, Saif, Shanto at 3. Yes, bring back Soumya. He poses bigger threat than Anamul even though Soumya is hit or miss.

Although I would bring in Liton before Saif/Soumya. But first 4 need to go.

You know I had a dream before the game, that they make 520 odd and we reply with 160 odd, woke up relieved to see it was only a ridiculous dream, turned on cricinfo to see we've been bowled out for 80 odd

abherath · #**312** January 25, 2018, 04:47 AM

Since the whole match lasted only 35 overs and 5 balls -less than a regulation T20 match - the Sri Lankan channel relaying match telecasts is going to replay the whole match starting right now.

Absolutely. Less time than a regulation T20.

Hathuru's pants were pulled down to his ankles in the first game. Today they were pulled back over his head ! Hope he won't suffocate !

Shingara · #**315** January 25, 2018, 06:25 AM

What the hell was this match ?
I woke up early to enjoy a full day's game and this is what these bolods do ? At first, I thought maybe we rested all the senior players but then found that wasn't the case.
It was a very unprofessional performance from our team. During bowling, even Mash and Shakib decided to take rest.

Or, maybe it was intentional. But, then again, anyone would want to play the easy ZIM in the finals rather than SL. Now, I fear we might lose the finals!

This match was a reality check and hopefully a kick up the back side for everyone involved with Bangladesh cricket.

However this was necessary, as it will hopefully make players and I hope the selectors take necessary step to not be complacent

I was about to say this but realized it's wrong because it just exposed the reality of our batting without Sak,Tam,Mushy.

Now Srilanka will go to final with more confidence than us.
It will mke the final more exciting though.

Promote Mahmadullah to No3..he performed brilliantly at 3 in WC and shakib should come after Rahim

Lions tamed Tigers..it's time that Tigers crush Lions throat in the final
