Bhai ... please... even though other Asian teams are a bit down now, they all have won the WC previously, show some modesty.
And then they say we're not minnows
You BD team don't beat us !!You can beat other teams.
Well done by the 2nd best Asian Team! Congratulations! Good to see no nagin dances and their celebrations are subdued too. That's what happens when winning becomes a habit! BD played like a true 2nd best Asian team!
Congrats to Bangladesh. Stated with a impressive win against 3rd ranked ODI side.
Would be hilarious if BD have a 11-0 run in the WC
Listen. I have nothing against Bangladesh.
Unbiased fans (bookies) had SA as favourites at the innings break. So i was being realistic
Pathetic absolute pathetic post.
Had Inzi the revolutionary picked a spinner and captain not played him we would have blamed Sarfaraz. It's funny Sarfaraz is to be blamed for not "asking" for a spinner but Inzi cannot be blamed for not picking a spinner in the first place.
Turning into British version of Mamoon.
You can blame Sarf for captaincy, keeping or batting, but to blame him for nonselection of players is absolute garbage.
They might be the best
Our team might just totally flop this time with old age uncles in the side![]()
Inzamam gave Sarfraz Yasir Shah, Mohammed Asghar and Bilal Asif for Sri Lanka Test series in 2017.
However Asian Clive Lloyd thought pace is pace yaar and played 3 quicks on dead UAE tracks.
As a result we kissed our UAE unbeaten streak goodbye.
Also, Sarfraz insisted on Mohammed Hasnain and Wahab Riaz for this World Cup. So let's not pretend he has no say over selection.

Hahah you lost the argument when you had to bring in some random test series from 2017 to defend Inzimam.
I guess when one has a favourite they can never be wrong and it is always everybody else's fault.
You said Inzamam is to blame for not giving Sarfraz spinners to work with. But in that series Inzamam GAVE Sarfraz not one but THREE spinners but Asian Clive Lloyd thought to play three quicks on dead UAE tracks and thus lost our unbeaten streak.Hahah you lost the argument when you had to bring in some random test series from 2017 to defend Inzimam.

"No, no, don't be fooled - this is no upset. This is yet another confirmation of a minnow turning bully, bullying a side who's a little too used to being bullied come the World Cup. The Bangladeshis know this, with just a bear hug from Shakib to Mashrafe, with the others only indulging in handshakes. It was THAT clinical"
Cricbuzz sums it up well. Those who try to mock us about post win celebrations look at this.

Only a captain without brain would play just one specialist spinner in UAE. But that would be Sarfraz.
Also I note no comment on Sarfraz demanding unproven kid with barely any List A experience in Hasnain and TTF Wahab in the WC squad.
Sarfraz should sit down and take lessons from Mortaza and how he has beaten SAF using two spinners in Miraz and Shakib. You need to take pace off the ball on these flat pitches. However if Sarfraz was actually devoted to his cricket he wouldn't be carrying a 2nd Trimester stomach.

Sarfaraz is more devoted to the type of Biyrani.
Yes then he springs into action.
Look at Mashrafe Mortaza, the guy's knees and ankles are completely shot after 16 years of international cricket. God knows how many surgeries he's had. But he is still one of the fittest members of the squad and is an inspiring leader.
Meanwhile we have Biriyani King. How far we have fallen !

Lol, it was actually Bangladesh getting the hopes up of people like you.
No mate, Bangladesh isn't Pakistan... When you have runs on the board you back your bowling to defend them.
But then again it's not your fault Pakistan couldn't defend 358, 340 and couldn't get 32 off 18 balls for victory.
Pinned this post. Please educate yourself on Cricket first before commenting.
Again, this ain't team Pakistan where they can let a team chase 358 in 45 overs.
Who is laughing hard now?
Indeed they should, maybe in 2023.
Told y'all.
Lol indeed, these guys have no common sense.
It was bound to happen eventually.
Making fun of Indian bowlers and making fun of Bangladeshi cricket team.
Come back to bite them right where it hurts.
Please educate yourself on Cricket and then comment.
Congratz @ Mainul and other Bangladeshi posters![]()
Cool mate. Be humble please. Sor de unko. They are already injured
I get is Sarfaraz is the spawn of the devil. I wish we had Inzi as captain, coach and selector. Can't forget the spectacular performance in the 2007 WC under his command.
The only reason the Wahab and Hasnain comment did not get any response is because that is completely your own fabrication and there is no documented evidence of there being any proof of it. Also that test series you are talking about was perhaps Sarf's first as captain. Good of you to absolve Mickey and Inzi of all blame. Remove Sarfaraz as captain, Pak team will turn legendary tomorrow, am I right?
Also funny you mention that Sarfaraz should learn how to use spinners because he won the PSL with QG on the back of his spinners and where he was in complete command to pick the players he likes and not be dictated by Inzi and Mickey.
But for BD's average fielding SA would have folded long back. They have to up their fielding. The catch drop could have been Kohli's Smith's.
I will certainly be watching this match with interest. Some BD fans were quite arrogant in discussions about their team's chances against Pakistan in the warm up game so I am expecting BD to be quite a powerful team. Could well be their confidence is well placed so today will be confirmation of their rising stock perhaps.
A bowler who doesn’t get smacked for 5 sixes in a row...
Congrats, hopefully you will do better than all the other asians in this cup.
So Broad is not good bowler then.. BTW this Saif (?) guy may not be consistent but he has good Yorkers and had knack of taking important wickets...
He is our death over specialist
Well said Mithun is a huge liability in the field, not to mention Riyad fields like a grandpa. Brother Soumya had a tough chance. But we atleast got a decent match today. Alhamdullilah![]()
But SA missed his freebies too.....
Anyway Congrats BD.. Hope Pak wins tomorrow.. Really don't like England team..

Respect to Musfiq and Miraz, they were fasting![]()
Alhamdullilah
Wait South Africa is really ranked that high? How are they above NZ? It makes no sense.
Q. Would you call it a complete performance, and the fact that no one scored more than 78, does that make you happy as a captain that everyone contributed to the win?
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: Obviously. That's the team we are I think. When we contributed, each and everyone, each, mostly we win.
Yesterday I come here and told the same things that once our maximum players will step up, there's a good possibility to win the matches. So I think we've been very lucky and played so well.
Q. Shakib, how much of a difference has he made to the team since he started batting at three?
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: I think last year it's been started to bat at three, but unfortunately in the final, he got injured, and it takes around six months to come back. Once he's come back, a few matches he played at five.
Again, we thought that no experience -- he got the experience and make sure that in the top order that he's batted, he's more responsible and he can hold all the pressures and he can deliver at his best.
So that was the thought behind, and exactly he's spot on, and again, he needs the final and play the first match here, and he performed so well for the team.
Q. You've played in quite a few World Cups. Would you say that this is one of the best ever performances from a Bangladesh team?
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: Not really. I think played well a few matches in 2010, talking about, 2007, 2011 we played well a few matches. Especially if you're talking about a specific match, I don't think so it's the best one. But we played so well, especially in England. It's not easy for us in the condition, not giving us the favour which is very used to in home.
But again, I thought one of the best, one of the best performance to us, and we love to play the we played today.
I'm sure that it won't be happen every day, but that is the idea. I know love to play that way.
Q. Would you tell us a little bit about the difference that Neil McKenzie has made to the batting lineup and in terms of playing against South Africa?
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: He's amazing. He's helping our batters so well last eight -- I think more than eight months, he's been working with us. I wouldn't say only Neil. I think our whole management part is so well. They are working hard with the boys.
We knew that the big tournament is coming, World Cup, and we are starting World Cup six months behind. I don't think so after one match, we should be so happy that we could manage to deliver that our best.
So still, a few areas we can improve and hopefully we'll move on from here. Especially, you know, once we have the momentum, we love to keep it going, and as you said, Neil is working so hard for us, and hopefully he will stay with us for a long time.
Q. Just want to know from you, your middle order, it is one of the most experienced batting lineup in this competition. Do you think going forward in this tournament, this is Bangladesh's biggest strength, your middle order experienced batsmen that you have?
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: Yeah, hundred per cent. That is the best we have. I always said, like if you look the experience, I have Tamim and Shakib batting at three, Mushfiqur comes back at four -- batting at six for the depth; and the middle -- batting so well for us and even started slow today, and Soumya, he's coming out with -- something out the box. So it's really I think us and obviously No. 7 is always we are keep changing with Mosa and Mushfiqur and Sabbir Rahman.
I think really, it's a heavy batting lineup I think, and obviously I should say, I'm proud of Mushi and Miraz (ph), they are fasting and played at their best today.
Q. Given the strengths of your spinners and the fact that it was the second time this pitch has been used, you must have been very happy to have been sent in to bat.
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: To be honest, as a team, we have been so -- half an hour spending team in fielder, we should bat. Normally England, we get a wicket moving a bit, so end of the day, now I expecting that best idea is to losing the toss. So luckily I lose the toss, and they are giving us batting.
Again, I said that it has been a used wicket, so you never know what happened, and it was good to bat first, and then later, the spinners played their big role. Always they coming back into the bowling and they built a good wicket. So it's been really great performance by the spinner, and obviously finished up with Mustafizur and Mossadek.
Q. Do you think that this all-around performance is the one that will change the perception of Bangladesh being a team that will deliver upsets to one that it's a genuine title contender?
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: Yeah, meaning that was upset?
Q. No, no, I'm saying in the past, perception may have been. Is this the time it will change?
MASHRAFE MORTAZA: 100 per cent. It does depend. Can't comment anything about it. It depend on particular person, how he think about it.
So we are concentrating on our game; that we can deliver -- if we can deliver our best. We knew that, you know, in that stage it's going to be very difficult for us. So we are concentrating on our own games and let's people talk whatever they wants to. If they are not happy with us, obviously they will talk something wrong; something that which is not going for us.
So we shouldn't think about it. Just keep concentrating on our own game, and I'm sure that there's not much people who is great friend of our cricket, so I think, you know, we should -- as I said, we should concentrate on our own game.
Hopefully this contest will keep going. Sometimes it's bowlers will keep swinging, so hopefully we'll continue with good work. Obviously it's not going to be successful every day, but I hope that he'll keep his consistency going on.
Really? MashaAllah. How did u know it?
He got tired, SA would've lost anyway
Read the Bold part brother Mainul![]()
It is not mandatory when playing. Also not healthy in such condition.
It depends on how much strong faith one has on Allah SWT. Allah SWT helps His Banda whenever he or she tries to please Him. Medical science may contradict it but the creator of science when helps it goes beyond science. Hashim Amla has a triple century in tests while fasting and he said that he feels fitter while fasting. Did u see any sign of of unfitness in Miraz and Mushfique yesterday? Intact they we're the best performers. .May Allah SWT shower His blessing on players who are fasting in this WC.
Riyad was fasting as well, good post.
MashaAllah. Our 3 devoted rojadaar were the best performers, alhamdulillah
Raptors will lose today but BD will win. Sad times to be a United fan.
