I would bat first. Bangladesh cant calculate a chase. Be it 120 or 220

[Rinathq]

With Hafeez opening the bowl, I believe we should also manipulate our batting and have Anamul and Shamsur open. This can do 2 things.

1. he might not open the innings at all and come in later in less pressure situation. That way he wont be able to walk away with a decent spell. OR
2. he still ends bowling and there is a good possibility Anamul or Shamsur will take him to cleaners.

[Hasan2k8]

Try avoiding pre match discussion on whatever ch or stream your watching on cause mostly likely nothing but negativity will be talked, about BD! by the "pundits"

Coach nd captain wont do that. They dont think outside the box. Shamsur is likely to be dropped. If he is dropped then open with Zia in place of Tamim

If we win the next two matches (very unlikely that we will) and WI loses their next match (very likely that they will) then the second spot will be decided by net run rate.

I dream on.

That's the prerogative of a Bangladesh cricket fan.

Dream on! I'm with you

I thing bowling first today will be different senerio.... Bd like to chase & bowl first . If pak bat first i want them to score 90 or 190.... No 120 or 140 ... There is bd will lose game to known what i do what i do mango there???
So i want them to bowl first. If bat first score 200 plus... Just hit everything u see. If pak score 180 or 190 bd will bat fearless like nothing to lose...& there is a catch for bd.

[Night_wolf]

Tamim totally out of form, may be today hafiz will be tamim's bunny!

Ahh dream on, I love Steven Taylor, now which modern singer of BD has the guts to un-gogon horkora-fy the national anthem and make it a rock melancholy?
