where does Bangladesh go on from here?

[Cricket_Hacker]

the stadium has pin-drop silence when a bangla player gets out or opposition scores a boundary

[gaurav92]

They are at home so enjoy, no need to go anywhere. :nice:

[undisputed chap]

They may get beaten on a regular basis but have to commend their fans for not doing anything stupid which regularly happened in the past in ind & pak when they lost. So be passionate but remember win or lose at the end its just a game.

Bangladesh might be relegated TO ASSOCIATE STATUS, but even we have no right to gloat as being a nation of around 1 billion plus we are weak in every sport and semi decent in cricket, we have been pathetic in test for last few years, but it is not lack of talent as Bangladesh but lack of good administration, I haven't seen a single proper batsmen or bowler in Bangla team till now.

You need to force them to raise their standards.

To WC2015 where they will face Herath.:giggle:

The Dutch are a much better team. Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan and Netherlands should complete in a competition below the test standard. With a 1 up/ 1 down system. :two_thumbs_up:

you're english right? i will agree to that 1 up 1 down if england plays there :D

If England are ranked in the bottom 2 - they should face relegation. You wont find me denying the fact. But England are 8 weeks away from a glorious summer. :two_thumbs_up:

Shakib-al-Hasan wants Home games shelved for 2 years http://www.espncricinfo.com/world-t20/content/story/733233.html?CMP=chrome Bangladesh allrounder Shakib Al Hasan has suggested that the side should not play any home games for two years to help reduce expectations from cricket fans in the country. In an interview with a local newspaper, Shakib stated the factors that had resulted in Bangladesh's poor performance in the World T20 and said the pressure from fans, the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the media had created an environment where the players stopped thinking about the team and focused on looking after themselves. He also voiced concerns about the country's lack of talent, cricket infrastructure and coaching.

"People's expectations, the journalists' reporting…board's pressure," Shakib said in an interview to Prothom Alo when asked about reasons for the recent failure. "Players get puzzled under these pressures. It becomes difficult to believe in ourselves. When a player thinks that he will get dropped by playing poorly, he stops thinking about the team and only thinks about his game. When four-five players are thinking like this, the rest follow. Coach, captain and players cannot function properly.

"It would be best to play outside the country. There should not be any cricket at home for two years. The expectations of home fans will go down, which will be very good. We should understand how much we expect from the team. When we will produce players of that level, there can be higher expectations. But we don't have good players in the pipeline, neither is the domestic cricket of a good standard. Our practice facilities are not good and we don't have a world-class coaching staff."

Shakib, who is the joint leading wicket-taker for Bangladesh in this World T20, said his performance against Hong Kong in the first round had helped the side qualify for the Super 10. In Bangladesh's final match of the first round, Shakib top-scored with 34 before the side was all out for 108. He then opened the bowling and sent down four overs with returns of 3 for 9 that helped the side progress to the second round on net run rate, in spite of a defeat to Hong Kong.

"I did quite well in the first three matches. I don't know how people will take this, but I sometimes feel that had I not taken three wickets and scored 34 runs against Hong Kong, we wouldn't be playing in the Super 10s. I wasn't consistent, didn't do well in two matches. It can happen in T20s. I am not the sort of bowler who can take five wickets.

"I was never this type of bowler, never have been and never will be. I am not a match-winning bowler like Saeed Ajmal or Sunil Narine. I can bowl a good over when the team needs but I cannot guarantee a wicket. We have one match left [against Australia]. If we can finish well, we will think it was a good World T20."

THey better take advice of Shakib. Take 2 year break from home games.

import some pakistani players..

[TNAmarkFrmIndia]

Tbh I think they should create an intermediate level in cricket with the likes of Ireland, Netherlands, Afghanistan, Nepal, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh etc. playing amongst each other. It would be more evenly contested and some of these teams (i.e. the ones mentioned above with the exception of Bangladesh and to some extent Zimbabwe) would get to test themselves at a higher level which they probably don't get to do very often. Teams like Ireland and Netherlands are unfortunate to not get enough opportunities to play international cricket.

[Sachin=GOD]

They have gone nowhere in the last few years. Despite having some good players they can never perform consistently well against big teams. I think the problem is lack of motivation or they still think like a minnow - they should get some professionals to help them with that mental aspect.

[BlueBee]

Feel for Bangbros. :sniffle: BD are nowhere near Ireland and Afghans. They shouldn't be allowed to play tests IMO. Associates !
