Today is the 3rd and final ODI of the series between Zim-BD
 
What is a par score or rather a score which BD can defend ?

55/2 .
 
great finish once against by BD. In every match in the series, we were 100-4 with less than 25 over to spare. But 250 is by no means a good score on such a good pitch
 
Decent score considering the position they find themselves in early on.
 
Tamim Iqbal is such an overrated player averages only 30, he needs to be dropped. He ate a lot of balls for his meaningless score. After Anamul comes back Tamim needs to go back to domestic, he shouldn't be in the odi team, waste of space. We'll lost the match because of him
 
:facepalm:

Our top order really needs to step up. We have a solid middle order but our top order has been letting us down these days.
 
As much a I want a team like Bangladesh to do well, they are really a BIG joke! ICC needs to be strict on them so they can get their act together and personally, I would strip them of their status and hand it to more deserving teams like Ireland. These Bangladeshi players and management are too obsessed with money and taking an advantage out of it. Shakib and Tamim are actually overrated players.

as a bangladeshi fan, all i can say is it has been a poor performance. there is no excuse.

here is what i expect from bangladesh in the next few years:

- they will win against big teams in ODIs every now and then.
- they will lose against associates and zimbabwe in ODIs every now and then.
- they will win very few tests and t20 games.
- BPL will ensure players are earning well.
- with backing from BCCI, we should keep our test status even if we lose every single test.


so bangladesh will be up and down and they will retain their test status thanks to friendly relation with BCCI.

Things to consider, we are the team that beat WI 3-2, drew a test against SL and drew the ODI series. We performed like tigers in the Asia Cup. Let teams like Ireland perform like us and then talk.

it is all about money, bro. cricket is their profession, what else do you expect?

if i were a professional cricket player, i would have focused on premier leagues and not national team. i would rather be a top T20 league player than to be a low earning national player.
 
Just FYI, this money related matter is only for Indian players, and not to good ones, only the average ones. I dont mind kohli earning millions but vinay kumar?

BTW, our players dont earn as much money as you guys think. And how can you tell that BPL does play our players? Try to be positive and admit that we had a bad tour so far. We had a lot of success in the recent past.

And anyway, Zimbabwe have had the advantage of batting 2nd. The pitch becomes flatter as the day progresses and also as we batted first, we had to face early morning swing. Not taking anything away from zimbos, they were the better team and I think the result would have been similar even if they batted 1st
 
Credit to Bangla bowlers for not bowling wides or no balls so that Sibanda won't get his ton. Well done Zimbabwe! :14:
 
No excuses! Bangladesh have lost 3 games to a team like Zimbabwe and that's unacceptable. At least they could've done to get some satisfaction of that match was to bowl a wide or no ball so that other player will be stuck on 99 but didn't. Bangladesh is really a joke and just not getting anywhere apart from the fluke wins.

Lol why would they do such a low life thing? Getting a batsman out on 99 is perfectly fair but bowling deliberate no balls so he won't get the ton proves you can't get him out and will resort to such low life things.
 
Are Zimbos really this good?

How did they win the series 2-1?

they are not this good, bangladesh have a habit of losing to minnows.

bangladesh lost to netherlands and scotland last year, but also defeated west indies.

maybe bangladesh feel too much pressure when they play minnows.

zimbabwe were helped by winning the tosses and batting 2nd. The pitch becomes a real paradise for batsman in the latter part of the day.

Even for our batsman, it was much easier to bat in the 2nd half of the innings, in each match. But got to give credit to Zimbabwe for outplaying us
 
No wonder Bangladesh don't play Ireland in an ODI series because if they lose then it will seriously question their status and boost a deserving team like Ireland chances. I wish these 2 teams played in an ODI series right now and can guarantee you Ireland will win at least 1 game. Bangladesh do not deserve to have full status rights sadly to say.

i agree, bangladesh may actually lose the series against ireland. it is not because ireland is superior, it is because bangladesh feel some kind of fear of losing to minnows.

i am pretty sure, bangladesh may lose against uganda too; but same bangladesh will manage to beat teams like west indies, new zealand and others.

they will be up and down, they always have been for the last few years.
 
Bangladesh results against Zimbabwe:
Test series drawn 1-1, ODI series lost 2-1. And you want me to believe they are an improving team?? Please give me a break.
As I said before, Bangladesh cannot play cricket.

they are an improving team, definitely. it is a team that loses to associates and also defeats big teams, it is a very unpredictable team now.

before they used to lose against every team, things have changed now.

And didnt we beat you and SL in the asia cup? What about beating WI 3-2 in an ODI series as well as drawing a test match against Lanka
 
I thought after winning matches against big teams like India, Lanka and Windies, they would crush Zimbos. Must be a big disappointment for them.

Please dont bring those once in a bluemoon stats. You guys are playing test cricket from 2000 and only won 4 tests in 13 years. And just bcoz you beat some team in odd ODI's you want me to believe Bangladesh is a good side?Ireland also beat Pakistan and England in world cups..not a big deal.

Bangladesh keeps on losing series after series and we hear excuses: Umpiring blunder, injuries, poor hotel, no water supplies in hotel rooms, no practice games etc etc. All this is not an issue. The main reason Bangla dont win because they are a poor cricket side. Thats the fact.

Sorry I forgot the smiley :shakib

but the way you were downplaying our former successes shows that you are a blind hater. You have every right to criticize our performance on this tour, but we had good success in the past and you keep saying that those were out of the blue moon performance

Ok my friend let me tell u in facts so that you will understand.

Bangladesh started playing ODI cricket in 1986. They have played 273 ODI's and only won: 24 matches against test playing nation. Win rate of: 9% :facepalm:

Wins against Test nations

Aust:1
England: 2
India:3
New Zeland: 5
Pakistan: 1
South Africa: 1
Sri Lanka: 4
West Indies: 7

Test matches least say the better.
 
^^ As per the above stats any person with minimum mathematical knowledge will put any Bangla wins as fluke.
 
why looking at performances 10 years back, look at recent performance

Ok dont like historical stats, here is the stats from 1st Jan 2011

ODI's
Matches: 35
Win: 13
Lost: 21
Win rate: 0.61

Tests
Matches: 11
Won: 1
Lost 8
Win rate: 0.12
 
Sankalp, why are you so hard on Bangladesh? They have improved a lot in the past few years, but some of their performances really make you question their Test Status.
 
our win ratios look better than what it was before
Yes better compared to Bangladesh in the past...but way way behind than any test playing nations. I wish Bangladesh improves, that will be better for the game, specially for Asian cricket.
But what irks me when people compares Shakib with Kapil Dev, Nasir Hosain with Bevan etc. These constant try of Bangla fans to level their players among the big boys when they are simply not good.

no one compared sakib to kapil

And people compares nasir to bevan because nasir has been doing what bevan used to do in his times. Nasir has saved our butts so many times, just like bevan and that too at an earlier age.
