Bangladesh is playing ODI cricket since 1986. Decades.

They've never done it when it matters.

Be it chasing (even easy targets)
Or defending (high totals).

They always crumble.

Why can they never ever win a proper match? When will they stop being minnows and break the shackles?

It's really frustrating. I want them to win at least something. One tournament. Or heck, at least win a decider / knockout!
 
Now I'm hoping this thread backfires and they win one match.
 
They have been better against India than we have in the past decade

Doesn't matter.

The moment they enter a tournament, they become their true 1986 minnow self.

It has to end.
 
Once the tamim ,musrafe retire they will not choke in pressure. Pretty odd prediction but i have just feeling senior are holding team back

Bangladesh defeated England and qualified for quarter finals in 2015 world cup. Doesn't it count?
 
Tbf they won against India in 2007 and ENG IN 2015.. feels like you are jus angry they didn't beat us..
 
I want them to win today so badly. They are still in it.
 
I guessing 1 billion Indian fans are still shaking with fear of Bangladesh chasing this :))
 
Because they have created a facade of a top team. The PR team has done well to paint these defeats with passion, aggression etc but at the end of the day, they lose just how a minnow does.... I.e. losing key moments which a top team never does.

And it won't stop until they actually accept the reality that they are still not a top team and begin the mentality of a top team who believes in themselves with realistic expectations.

Just wait.. I am very confident they will the next match :)
 
Gotta say was much calmer when Pak were chasing this compared to BD
 
Nice timing for the thread.. Bangladesh vs Pakistan may just be two teams playing for pride if England beat NZ - I guess there will be something to play for?

What destiny?

I think u r talking to urself here.

The progress BD have showed in such a very short span of time is truly mind boggling.

After srilanka I can't seem to remember a single team that has shown as much progress as BD has within such short period.

Don't forget India couldn't manage to win a single match in their first 20 years of cricket.

I was not in mood today but i guess you want some dose

Shakib ul hasan
Tamim
Mushfiqar
Mortaza
Rubel
Muhamadullah

All are playing there 4th to 5th worldcup .bd is one of the most experienced side in current worldcup but still are below pakistan who are bunch of newbie with very little worldcup experience.if your players are playing from that long still cannot reach single semis than your team might be not good enough .they are winning hearts and kidney of people which is not enough

Right now, AFG playing a better cricket than Bangladesh. Though they don't associate tiger with themselves, they are the actual ones who fight against the odds and has shown great promise.

I agree, good to see another team emerging in international cricket after a long time.
 
Gifted their wickets otherwise would have won today
 
LOL that LALA.... who lasted max 5 balls average in every game.....Pakistan are in a mess because players like LAL are your greats LOL
 
I was expecting this "great fight" messages.

This is the problem. Do NOT celebrate the fight. You do that initially. But it's a trend, they never win, they only seem to show a 'fight' in the start and always lose.

Bangla posters and fans need to realize that they must come hard at this celebration thing after losing a match.

What matters now for BD is victory. It doesn't matter how you lose - don't celebrate losses.

From BD perspective, that match has no meaning - no matter what the result, it only leads to the airport.

The important thing is that the team gave their 100%.. I could sense Kohli and India panicking in the later stages of the game.. and Kohli will live with that scare for the rest of his life with 1.2 billion Indians..
 
Ind had won their 3 rd world cup in 1983, the biggest world tournament that too away from home.
Reached 1987 semi final.
Won 1985 world championship in Aus.
All these within 12-13 years since odi cricket started.
BD is a decent team.
May god show Ban one of the above days in (near) future.
 
Let's appreciate Bangladeshi team for once. They have played very good cricket throughout the tournament. Even, when they lost, they were competitive. It is safe to say that they have surpassed the expectations of most. They are very capable of beating Pakistan and heading back home with their heads high.
 
Now now. Guys lets not fight. It was tense with a determined Saif putting up his hand during the run chase. I loved his fearless approach today and admit that I want simillar approach from my middle & lower order. But it seemed chaseable because Kohli failed in accumulation-then-acceleration. But how often that happens. BD fans have to think about that too.

Bangladesh gave India a scare in 2016 WT20.

Again gave a scare in 2018 Nidahas Trophy final.

And then again in 2018 Asia Cup final.


Now I'm starting to think that Bangladesh can only scare India but cannot actually defeat India.

the issue is, even 100% isn't enough. That's the definition of minnows.

Why do Bangladesh need to defeat India when their players throw games themselves? :ma
 
Can someone post the video of where Bangladesh were prematurely celebrating a victory over India (in Aisa Cup I think?) but lost the match in the last few balls?

Exactly. :)))

They've done the same with PAK - gave us a "scare", but then showed they're minnows. Even with 100% they cannot win!

Sad thing is, BD Posters are still defending it and thinking the team deserves accolades for losing, by giving their 100%.

Mentality change is needed. I'm sure BD players would also be cutting cakes and celebrating this "fight'.
 
Too much hate against Bangladesh shown by some pakistanis here. They have a very good side, if they can get another fast bowler like Mustafeez they will be a force to reckon with. They way Shaifuddin batted today was really pleasing to see. They could have a very good allrounder at their hands here.

And they are favourites against us on Friday.
 
Sad to see Pakistanis hating on Bangladesh while 99% of the senseless Bangladeshi fans continue to support Pakistan. Just wish my countrymen could see their true faces.
 
I have one thing to say to trolls and haters: keep on chirping.

Like we Bangladeshis care about what you have to say. If we win against Pakistan, we have already achieved what we intended (#5th position on the table).

I personally do not believe we deserved to be in semi-final. #5 will be nice to achieve with this current team.
 
Some people have such miserable lives that they have to come to an internet forum to degrade other people. I find it hilarious actually (I also feel sad for them at the same time).

If it helps you to sleep better at night, I am glad.

Why exactly would they be favourites? They've literally not beaten a top team in this WC and are lower in the table than Pakistan, not to mention the fact that they're out...

Bangladesh have to be one of the most overrated teams this WC. The way people talk about them is almost like they're in the top 3. Yes, they've played well but they've not been able to finish the job when playing the best teams. They struggle to take wickets generally outside of Mustafizur and Shakib.

If Pakistan don't beat Bangladesh and the West Indies in the same WC, they can't say they're even close to deserving this SF spot.
 
A classless thread not surprising, trying to rub salt into the wound and hit when down. No matter , Bangladesh cricket will rise and keep rising because there are lot of good things going back in the country and the desire to see the team in a better place is as strong as ever. One day karma might come to bite you in the backside , when you lose the game that matters the most to Bangladesh of all lowly teams.

Trust me brother, no hate is intended from my side.

Today I'm actually angry. I wanted them to win but they simply can't do it when it matters.

Would you disagree with that? I want them to overcome this mental block. For how long will this continue? I'm really frustrated.

I also wanted to see Pakistan winning once vs India in World Cups brother but alas can't make that happen in 7 editions of world cups , couldn't even come as close as Bangladesh in this tournament's match vs India, how unfortunate
 
Bangladesh have actually developed into a very solid team, they've come a long way specially in last 4-5 years. Their batting is already better than PAK, SA, NZ, WI, SL. They've missed a trick by relying heavily on slow left armers who couldnt adjust to English conditions and that is where they've struggled in this tournament. And btw, that Saifuddin looks like a top quality all rounder, if they can only find a decent fast bowler inplace of Mashrafe, they'll break into the top 4.

I'd consider them a better ODI side than PAK right now, but PAK will be favorites on Friday due to their current form and England conditions.

Honestly, today they were simply beaten a better team. It was a good toss to win and that early drop of Rohit proved costly. They were playing catch up since.

If you look closely, their batsman look more assured under pressure than their Pakistani counterparts. In a high pressure run chase, they kept looking for boundaries and fought till the end. Credit where its due, it was a valiant effort

Yet it was Miandad's 6 on the final ball in 1986 Sharjah Final which still haunts the older generation of Indian fans today. :19:
 
This was BD's best chance IMO. Shakib, Rahim, Tamim are pushing onto 30+ now and I am sorry Sarkar etc aren't good enough on their own. Its a shame they didn't get to a final or a semi-final of a WC. They atleast made a better effort than us vs India.

I feel that Shakib, Rahim, and Tamim can play one more World Cup. They are not even 35.

If you keep ignoring and deflecting what I'm trying to say and what's going wrong with BD, how will you learn?

If your team and selectors have the same attitude as yours, you won't improve soon.

I'm disappointed by your reply.

It doesn't matter how good you look, what matters is winning and lifting trophies. Stop comparing. I'm sad at how bad Pak has become, but they're still a team that can and have beaten the top teams in this cup, with a shot at the semis.

Yes, wrist slits if you want, team is bad, but not as bad as BD who can't beat teams when it matters and celebrate losses, or the fight shown.

Thanks for a sensible reply.

That's what I'm saying, it's about ifs and buts for too long now. When will we finally see them going over the line?

Today was their best chance, we keep saying that whenever they lose from a winning position and close margin.

But that's it, come next big game, they crumble under pressure again and fans start celebrating their loss because they showed fight.

Shakib is 32, Rahim is 32 while Tamim is 30. They were at their peak in this WC, at 36 I think Shakib and Rahim will be in the twilight of their careers.
 
Too much frustration can make things worse. We have to take things methodically and logically.

I think that 2023 World Cup will suit us because it will be in India and BD should like those pitches. BD has to find at least 2 proper spinners (1 leg-spinner is must).

Get rid of the batsmen who fail in pressure situations. Assuming there are replacements out there being developed.

Tamim can easily play two more World Cups. He doesn't bowl. He is only 30.

Shakib and Rahim will probably play one more.

If they keep their fitness levels high, they should be fine.

Yes. I personally think Sarkar was a big flop. He couldn't score a single fifty and people hail him like he is something special. Imrul Kayes would've been better than him.
 
I don't agree with OP. Bangladesh defeated England in a virtual knockout in 2015 WC league match and made their way to quarter finals as top 8 teams.

Its not about them just playing but at the age of 35,36 your reflexes arent the same anymore no matter how fit you are. Dhoni, Malik, Hafeez etc are prime examples.

You are correct. Some players can play for long though. One example would be Misbah. Misbah was still doing well by the time he retired.
 
Agreed, we need to be more ruthless. However, we did win our last KO game, without top 2 players - in Asia Cup, last September 😜

I am sure, within next couple of years, boys will start to convert those close games. They just need to be tougher at crucial moments. Today, India was favourite, Sharma got a life and they won a crucial toss - still what is hurting me most is ... Pandeya, FGS Hardik Pandeya got most crucial 3 wickets on this track!!!!

It would be nice, if pak could play their game in Dhaka because still there is a lot pak fan in BD!! But as long as AWAMI LEAGUE in power!! It Won't happen!!
Another thing, We started loving pak cricket watching IMRAN, MIADAD, AKRAM, WAQAR, ANWAR!! After that there was Shoiab, Saqlain, Inzi & Afridi!!! but there is no one in pak cricket now who can attract kids attention like them !!
 
BD does not have it in them to win against Ind, Aus, NZ and even SA & Pak. They may get a one off win here and there but I expect them to loose almost always.

On the other hand, AFG has proven to be more resilient showing tremendous improvement in the ODI format.
