Here are some of the early inroads (quoted verbatim) suggested by our brothers back home for their Saturday encounter against Australia -
→ “i’d actually say bangladesh is closer to australia in their ruthlessness then a lot of other countries”
→ “So let’s say we bat first against Australia and score only 150. Now if we take powerplays in first twenty overs, they probably would finish the game in 20 overs. BUT if we do not take powerplays (after the first one) at all, they probably would score 150 in 30-35 overs. That would damage our net run rate much less.”
→ “Over 2 million Bangladeshis have signed a 70-foot-long cricket bat wishing their team good luck in the World Cup. “We hope more people would be interested to sign the bat after Bangladesh qualified for the Super Eights,” Shafiqul Islam, a brand manager of Akiz Group, told Reuters. “It is the biggest bat in the world and we hope it will have a place in the Guinness Book of World Records”.”
→ "How to get Mathew Hayden out cheap?
a) Drom his haemorroid medication on good lenghth and when he gingerly bends forward to pick it up, stump him
b) Try to follow Bravo, he got Hayden on the 48th over, so we can wait till the 48th over to get Hayden out too, there is hope for Bangladesh."
c) Let Mushfiq tickle him or sing him a lullaby from behind the stumps.
→ "I think Bangladesh will win against Australia. Because they will face Australia in 31st March. 8 years ago, Bangladesh shocked Pakistan by 62 runs in this day. According to numerology, 4 and 8 numbers are close to each other. Bangladesh won their maximum matches in these days which were 4th or 8th days.is it hard to understand? Examples are shown below:
1.Bangladesh Won against Pakistan in 1999,31st March= 3 + 1 = 4
2.Bangladesh Won against Sri-Lanka in 2006, 22th February= 2 + 2 = 4
3.Bangladesh Won against India in 2007, 13th March= 1 + 3= 4
4.Bangladesh Won against Bermuda in 26th(25th March)March= 2 + 6= 8"
