[Shafi]

Shame

BD still capable of beating India and Pakistan 5-0 in home series.

As much as I rate Shakib, he is no different from Dhoni these days, looks disinterested. No doubt he has performed well even in 2015(was in ODI teams of the year) but he lacks motivation.

Really dissappointed by him. I feel he has the potential to be one of the best spin bowling allrounder of all time has seen but the work ethic is no longer there. Yes he is the current best allrounder, but he has the ability to put his name on record books

Dhoni is very much interested in limited overs cricket. It's just that he doesn't have the same reflexes like he used to when he was young. He's over the hill.

Bangladesh was not that far from winning. Certainly good comeback after 18/4 or something like that.

Easy series win thrown away.

We missed Mushfiq Nasir dearly( and Mustafizur). And most worrying matter is Soumya, Shakib's form.

 

[King Cobra]

Bangladeshis are small people, they can't hit big. Their batting is almost as bad as Pakistan's.

Correct and we have some folks hoping 5 feet orientals will produce explosive batters like Gayle and phast bowlers like Akhtar, Tait.

Akhtar himself was not very tall.

I am not dragging race or whatever into it.

Just the fact that Bangladeshis do not have power hitters.

You could easily see that boundaries can be cleared in this batting friendly wicket if you have power hitters when Mashrafe hit a few relatively big sixes. Most Bangladeshi players are lean and thin, and have not much strength. Even Zimbabwean players are bigger, and that's probably why Afghanistan is able to defeat Zimbabwe but Bangladesh find it hard in T20s.

Pakistan is in the same league as Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Windies now, at least in T20s, with its atrocious batting (lack of) firepower.

I put the Windies the first of the pack (of these 4 back-benchers).

Akhter is still tall and body is well setup.
Only tamims body is good, yes , tamim iqbal KHAN.

Elton Chigumbura has stepped down as Zimbabwe captain in all forms of the game.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Disappointing result, but I believe the BD think tank didn't care to pick up a meaningless trophy against the 14th ranked side in the world. Of course all the more reason your A team should have thrashed them at home.

We lost all our warmups (4 out of 4) before the last world cup. Zimbabwe won all theirs including thrashing Sri Lanka and hosts New Zealand. Of course those results were all empty.

I hope this result was the same.

 

[SunTzu]

Glad Zimbabwe, they need the encouragement and the motivation to strive for more. They don't have many role models left and it's good on Masakadza to step up the way he has.

What happened to Mustaifzur? Was he injured or rested?

Bangladesh will always remain a minnow
