Hey mate, should be a great game that.Bangladesh beware Ireland on Friday....
Yeah, this is just because I support Bangladesh. People have started bashing as though I've done something wrong. Practically I know what was expected, being a fan I just support Bangladesh. Indian supporters (many of them) just take it the other way and start having a go instead to have a discussion. I'm also an Indian and love my national team (India) in a better way than many of you do. I don't have a dig at them if they don't perform.Come on people, User2010 has just said what he felt and as a supporter of Bangladesh
I know India defeated Bangladesh by a huge margin and played awesomely well but come on face the truth we all were scared before the match started on what would happen.
They are the underdogs, dark horses, people call them not me! They are Bangladesh, they are the Tigers, the brave, I call them! The passion, the attitude to win, to play for each other defines the young Bangladeshi team (for me) ahead of the World Cup 2011.
I'm a fan, a fanatic of Bangladesh Cricket Team. I don't go deep into statistics, they can be misleading. Every team enjoys it's highs and has it's lows. Bangladesh have done with the lows and now is the time to move ahead, go far. They have the arsenal, the fire power, almost everything that takes a team to be called 'contenders' rather than 'minnows'.
Led by a young and thinking skipper, Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh look a formidable unit. Likes of Tamim Iqbal and Shahriar Nafees at the top of the order followed by Ashraful, Raqibul, and Shakib himself in the middle order make Bangladesh a solid batting unit. All have the potential, now is the time to deliver.
With the spin department packed, Bangladesh have the bowlers to stop the runs during the middle phase of an innings. Pace bowling is inexperienced but, doesn't mean they cannot do a good job. People want revenge, they want them to get smashed, all I want is to see them fight and push other teams. They need to prove the wins in the previous edition weren't just flukes but, their hard work. How can they do that? Well, certainly by being consistent and playing to their potential.
They have no pressure, no one expects them to do well except for fans like me. They need to take this as a positive and move on, show the world what they are made of. They surely can do that. They don't have the 'big names', they aren't blown away by the 'big money', they have the passion, the passion to make it big, to make their country proud. I put them in my list to go the distance during this World Cup. Though, in doing so, they might even get people banned from Internet forums.

Even though I've always been criticizing the Bangladeshi side, on a serious note, I truly feel that they will qualify for the QFs and might just go into the semis too.
Yes, I think WI might have a tough time against the Bangladeshis in Bangladesh.
Haven't you heard the revised saying, People in Cricket World Cups shouldn't throw stones..................
