Isn’t Cricinfo a bit too Harsh on BD. Ok I know it’s going to bevery much like that but a headline of motivating nature could’ve also done the job.
Yeah, they are just too rude, we all know Bangladesh will lose badly but you don’t have to insult them.
These people sometimes get carried away with their feelings.
Bangladesh select their lambs for the slaughter
Wisden CricInfo staff - June 12, 2003
Bangladesh have announced 15 sacrificial lambs for their two-Test tour of Australia later this month, a series that cricket fans and Bangladesh players are anticipating with little short of dread. The one surprise is the recall of the former captain Khaled Mashud, who had been sacked after the World Cup for allegedly setting a bad example on and off the field. Khaled Mahmud will lead the side.
Amid all the recriminations and politicking that have followed that disastrous World Cup campaign, the show has to go on … unfortunately. Bangladesh have lost 18 of their 19 Tests to date, 13 by an innings. Australia, on the other hand, have won 29 of their 38 matches since the turn of the decade.
This massacre-in-waiting promises to be the most unequal struggle between bat and ball since Australia’s bowlers took on the media in a net session at Port Elizabeth during the World Cup. Only an un-Australian display of mercy can prevent a glut of records being smashed in the coming weeks.
After publicly admitting that the appointment of the Pakistani Mohsin Kamal was a mistake, Bangladesh have at least found themselves a coach who is familiar both with Australia and with the art of victory. But even Dav Whatmore, a former Australian Test cricketer and Sri Lanka’s World Cup-winning coach, will be hard-pressed to salvage anything from what is arguably the most one-sided international event in history. The only mercy is that the first Test will be conducted in the relatively secluded environs of Darwin.
The world averts its gaze.
Squad Khaled Mahmud (capt), Javed Omar Belin, Khaled Mashud, Habibul Bashar, Mohammad Rafique, Hannan Sarker, Mohammad Ashraful, Al-Shahriar, Monjurul Islam, Alok Kapali, Sanwar Hossain, Tareq Aziz Khan, Tapash Baisya, Anwar Hossain Munir, Mashrafee Bin Murtaza.
Tushar Imran and Habibul Hossain are to join the team later for the one-day matches
Awesome heading :k:
When heading for a series against Australia, this heading can be for pretty much any country, more or less.
may be Indian IT specialists who are a part of cricinfo staff, could still not imagin that BD scored over 400 runs against them at their test debut. and they getting their butt kicked from the rest of the world, inculding Kenya
Asif dude! i'm waiting for ur reply now.:D
Bangladesh cricket is doing terribly, and the way the board's recycling the tried, tested and failed players isn't helping their cause. They have to get their young 'uns acclimatised to foreign wickets - either by organizsing more junior tours or investing in artificial ones at home.
They have 2 or 3 good bats who might benefit from playing the aussies down under, but not much else positive to come out of the tour IMHO.
They're going to be sheared like sheep by the aussies. Wool, skin, bones and all.
Nikemma, Asif's reply will include a WC 1999 match.
hey guys, this series is just set to make BD win one match....so that they can save their test status...and who better than pakistanis can help them in this situation...
^ I don't know if you noticed it but BDesh is playing Australia, not Pakistan.
Its going to be lots of fun to wath this series. ;) IF Bdesh manages to win one match, Bdesh will move their independence day to that day. watch. :D
^ we can only wish kashur bhia 
Pakistan tak to jeet nahi sakta australia say aap bangladesi ki baat karhaay ho 
i wish em good luck.. agar haarain bhi to izzat ke saath 
Thats toooo harsh…
racist people:snooty:..
Sorry guys, I don't see anything wrong with the headlines because BD are going to get slaughtered alright. I think our U-19 side would give them a good twanking so it's pretty much on the cards they'll get one off the Aussies.
