The tigers are down, with ban of Taskin but hopefully Mustafiz will play today and Aussies will face his cutters for the first time.

Can Aus handle BAngladesh or in other words can Bangla bros beat Aussies today?
 
No. I don't think so. Taskin is big blow to them and they would still be in shock and mighty aussies are sure to hit hard after their defeat.
 
Both have lost their first match, The pressure is on both teams can't say that who will win........ :48:

Taskin out, Mustafiz in

We all know who the better bowler is
 
No way in hell.

Have a feeling Aussies will smoke Bangladesh tonight.
 
Bangladesh will be smashed to the rafters by Ozs

Aussies will win, let's hope their NRR doesn't balloon to a ridiculous amount.
 
Aussies will surely beat bangladesh today and BD supporters will start saying the ban is a conspiracy by Aus. They are already blaming India forgetting that their first match is against Aussies after Taskin and Sunny ban.
 
I dont think its a foregone conclusion

Shakib and Mustafiz have the tools to hurt Aus and Aussie bowling is not at all scary on these pitches

Yesterday Afghanistan gave a good account of themselves against South Africa. Let us see whether Bangladesh (whose fans regard their team as worldbeaters) can match Afghanistan's performance.

But still Banglas cannot match Aussies in batting firepower
A line up with Khwaja, Watson, Smith, Watson,Faulkner can easily overpower that of Shakib and Tamim. But for the love of cricket hope the Bangla boys beat Aussies and mke the group more interesting.

Who should Pak fans be supporting? As in what is a better win in terms of the table.

If is better to support Ozs
Firstly it won't effect our chances if we win our last 2 games
If we lose to Nz we will be almost Out of the race meaning that our last game might well be meaningless to us , But assuming both Aus and Ind beat Bang Bros We could gift the last game to Aus to make the qualification tougher for Ind as it would mean they would have to beat Aus to go through ..

Arafat and Mustafizur would had been good on this pitch but only one of them seems to be playing here so Shakib and Mustafizur have to elevate their game.

This pitch should be easy for Tamim,Rehman,Mahmadullah the only thing here is unlike other teams Aus doesn't slow down inspite of fall of wickets Bangladesh have to be on their toes while fielding throughout the match and tbh they aren't yet capable of that.

Doesn't matter. Both teams are on 0 wins.

We still control our destiny in the tournament.

I guess Bangladesh winning would be ideal as a safety net. Bangladesh is not going to win against NZ/Ind. So they would end with a record of 1-3.

Australia if they lose could only muster a record of 2-2 after beating Pak and Ind. This would be good if it ends up being a three way tie between Aus/Pak/Ind.

Like I said, we control our destiny, so it doesn't matter for now. Keep it simple and beat NZ on Tuesday. :))
 
I hope Bangla beat Aussies today. Group will get more interesting

I hope so but it sounds too much optimistic after Taskin and Arafat blow, especially Taskin. Bangladesh is down mentally because they were sure that Taskin would clear. Even as a fan i am in a very depressed state.So the players who have to perform should be more depressed. It is very difficult to keep focus in such situation. Whole team management including captain, we the Bangladeshis loves Taskin very much. The environment in Bangladesh team is such that they are just like a family.So present situation just hurts everybody.The whole process by ICC right from the umpire calling his action suspicious to the test in Chenni is controversial, suspicious.
 
I am sure Bangladesh batsmans can outplay Australian bowlers. It is Bengali bowling that will decide the fate of the match.

I realy feel for you bro. Taskin will clear his action soon InshaAllah. I think only his bouncers are a problem
 
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] what do you recon on Bangla's chances tonight?
 
Bangalore pitch is a batting paradise. It will take something from Bangla boys to knock Aussies here. Aussies have some power hitters who can take away game in no matter of time. If it was Nagpur/ dharmsala/ Kolkata I would have given Bangladesh a strong chance but it won't be easy on a batting shoutout like Bangalore or Mumbai.

YOu never know Kolkatta was very flat when we played 1st match, and got vicious when we played India

Thanks Insha'Allah Pak can win. But I reckon we should support Bangla for the safety net just in case :afridi
 
If there is any spin Bangladesh will choke the Aussies.

Today we are all supporting Bangladesh. :uakmal

No rain no change but it will grip,Badree last night got 3 wickets for 12 Mustafizur should be dangerous.
 
Bangladesh would be thrashes badly tonight since Australians have got their batsmen in top form and with the suspension of Taskin and sunny, Bangladesh have all of a sudden have become a minnow who may even lose to Afghanistan with the existing players they have. Having said that, it's a walk in a park for Aussies.
 
India will be following this game very closely as well. They must be hoping BD if loses ,lose very closely. On the other hand Aus will be eyeing a big win. They will not get a better chance to improve their NRR than this.
 
Today al amin will be called for suspect action if he plays :srini

I would love it if it gets vicious as that would enhance Bangladesh chance. But generally, flat pitches are offered in places like Bangalore or Mumbai and teams like Aus/SA do well there. It gets slower with more games but still chances of a batting shootout is higher.
 
^ Bangalore is not a flat deck, i guess you haven't seen yesterday's match. Only Mumbai so far has been a flat deck.
 
That is so wonderful and greatness of a formar fast bowler for a moral support to young Taskin.

Indians don't tweet about other players much. They couldn't care less about BD players especially.

NOOO...Indians need him for their game. He's the best hope for them to improve their NRR. By the way, he seems to have coped well after that assault. Right after Dhoni's six, he ran away to the dressing room without even shaking hands with the other players. Very pathetic.

Very realistic scenario. However, Indians will have a better chance to up their NRR against BD. Even AUS can do that. Pak on the other hand is playing NZ and AUS. I reckon those games will be very close
 
^ Bangalore is not a flat deck, i guess you haven't seen yesterday's match. Only Mumbai so far has been a flat deck.

Geez! I didn't knew yesterday's game was in Bangalore and I didn't even watched either.What's wrong with me? I was just posting as per nature of the pitch. Hopefully, it will be a good game then.
 
If there is any spin Bangladesh will choke the Aussies.

Today we are all supporting Bangladesh. :uakmal

Who exactly from BD is going to choke AUS? The darting Shakib or the non spinning Nasir? You need spinners who can flight and turn the ball on these wickets to deceive quality batsmen
 
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] what do you recon on Bangla's chances tonight?

Not sure about the wicket - if it's a slow turner, Aussies 'll struggle. But, in T20, our chance is too low against any top side.

I think only chance is on turner we bowl 1st & get Aussies inside 150, then the dew comes ...........

Welcome to the forum man, the best cricket forum in the world. Yeah it's nice to read Akhtar calling Taskin an Asset. Brothers always support brothers :moyo
 
I think everyone knows that Bangladesh is not a great T20 side barring the likes of Laxman, Hayden and co. who thinks we are as good as we are in T20s as we are in ODIs.

Need to realize that, regardless of Taskin's and Sunny's ban, we were always underdogs against Australia. Our only realistic chance to win a match was against Pakistan and I felt we were slight favourites but we still ended up losing. Now, hope that Mustafizur can do something about it.

Its best if we are served a slow wicket where our bowlers will get a lot of grip and Mustafizur would be useful in particular. Al Amin and Mash too will like the slow wickets. Shakib's lack of form won't help us much in the spin department and we are flying in a newbie spinner and not sure how well he can perform here.

Anyways, finger crossed, In Shaa Allah we will win though its going to be a difficult hurdle. Hope the boys are pumped instead of demotivated. Its time to give a message out of the world that we are damn good even you take out 2 key players in the side.

Who is the replacement for Arafat - should be Taijul
 
Saqlain Sajib is the replacement for Sunny and he is a good choice. He should play today. Imo he should've been in the team ahead of Sunny in the first place. He is tall and gives the ball air unlike Sunny. If there is any turn in the pitch he'll be able to exploit it. Mosharraf Hossain would've been a good choice too.

Bangladesh only have a chance if the pitch has something in it for the spinners. If it's a flat pitch like the first match against pakistan then Bangladesh can't compete with Australia's six-hitting prowess.

Ignoring their fans for a moment.
I would love to see Bangladesh do well against Australia.

Also see, how well mustafizur bowl to the aussie Juggernaut. If yesterday's match is any indication then it will assist spin and the match will be close.
 
Taijul is a good spinner, someone who can grip the ball but Sajib has been good in BPL throughout and can definitely turn the ball as well.

Anyways would have loved to see Mosharraf Hossain Rubel, or even Gazi as a bowling allrounder
 
with Mustafiz coming back I don't think Bangladesh will miss Taskin especially against Aus. but they lack a quality spinner. Shakib is vry overrated. Hope he proves me wrong tonight but I think he will be as effective as Afridi.

Shakib has been one of the elite spinners in world cricket. I rated him as the 2nd best spinner in the 09-12 era after Swann in tests though his bowling didn't get any better because of his extra pressure on batting. In LOIs he has always been top drawer as far as bowling is concerned. Top 10 rankings in both ODIs and T20I bowling ranking. He has been going through poor form in the last 3 months.
 
Also, taskin is still a big miss. He was bowling yorkers at will and when bowling first up, he was getting good carry. Has been very economical, his ER has been below 6 in the last 10 matches and has has bowled in the powerplay as well as the death.

Best bowlers hunt in pair, Wasir and Waqar did, Steyn and Philander did, Boult and Southee and such. Taskin and Mustafizur would give us 8 good overs and would complement one another rather easily.

Match is on same pitch as SL/WI

If Taijul is in the squad, Play him
 
Australia will win easily, Bangladesh will have to play out of their skin to beat Auss, especially without Taskin. That will demoralize them. ..But its cricket and you never know what can happen however remote it may be.
 
Mustafizur is almost sure to play. He has bowling in the nets and Mashrafe even mentioned that, he is ready to even field a half fit Mustafiz.

I am sure its Mustafiz's personal decision as well, this is our last international series in quite a while and he wants to give it his all. Regardless, I am quite sure he is nearly 100% fit

Good info. Glad you are a part of this board you know your Bangladeshi cricket.

I have another question. What are your thoughts on al amin as a bowler. Also what is your feeling on this match

Personally I think despite what we saw vs pak Bangladesh batting has come miles thanks to bpl and Bangladesh domestic batsman rising into the international system .

There are actually 7 very good batsman and Mortaza can wack it here n there too. I see no reason why Bangladesh can't win this match
 
Australia doesn't have the strength to beat this Bangladesh team. But Bangla will definitely need the service of mustafizur in order to beat this Australian team. I m already feeling sorry for Watson as he won't be able to deal with the cutters of mustafizur and he will look like a clueless batsman against musta :uakmal
 
We are so screwed, tamim is sick.

We have only two inform batsman - Riad and Shabbir. Shakib, Soumya and Mushfiq need to find form today especially the next two.

Also losing the toss will hurt us because we are going spin heavy
 
Tamim is sick and can't play.
Looked as if Mashrafe will start crying anytime. :(
Feel sad for them.
 
Tamim out due to illness.

Mustafizur back. Shuvagata and Saqlain straight into the team after flying in just yesterday.
 
Please Bangla boys defeat these arrogant Aussies and send them packing

Pakistan was lucky that day. We will beat Pakistan 9 out of 10 times with our current team even without the service of Taskin.

Sadly afridi played his once in a blue moon innings against us and took the game away from us. Otherwise this pak team doesn't have the quality to beat Bangladesh.

BTW first Bangladesh will have to get rid of passengers like Mashrafe from the team. He can't bowl, can't field or can't bat, totally a garbage player.

Al Amin- he is a very skillful bowler. A very good opening bowler and his stats will say the same. Infact he was amongst the highest wicket taker in BPL. However he was an exceptional death bowler by our standards in the past but he has not been as to get his yorkers right.

I don't think our batting has improved that much. Our domestic bats haven't been too impressive. It's more like the influx of confidence in the side.

Pace stocks are all time high, but not having quality spin army is not helping us. We need leggies and offies. We also need quality batsman. Can't go too far if we don't produce more in the next few days. However, talent is there. We have some exceptional talents coming through the ranks and its about delivering.

We will probablu lose today. We are opening with Soumya and Mithun. One off form and the other is worse than Sharjeel
 
Man how can we win with Hom, Mithun.

Missing Anamul. Mustafizur may help
 
At least Bangladesh have got some spin reinforcements now. If there is some spin in the pitch then Bangladesh have the resources to take advantage of it now. I think Bangladesh made an error taking five pacers to India. Abu Hider is not ready for international cricket especially on these pitches. Shakib has been out of form for a while and Mahmudullah's back is preventing him from bowling. So it's good to have Saqlain Sajib in. Shuvagata might be a hack with the bat but is a pretty handy offie. Now Bangladesh just have to hope that the pitch isn't a road like the first match.
 
Lucky Australia. If we had tamim we would have defeated Australia tonight.
