Exactly. I am not saying that they should never select him again. I am just stating that other players need to be given a chance currently until he is back in form since he is playing really horribly these days.

Also, Pffrt also pointed out that he has heavy references which is why he continues to play for the team currently. This would be the best decision regarding the Bangladesh lineup going forward in my opinion.

Well generally inconsistent players are replaced. At some point he will be if he continues to perform like this.


Tamim is a good player without a doubt. He had scored many runs for his country in past. But just because of his earlier performance doesn't gives him a life-long ticket into the team. Rohit at one point was also performing very bad and he was dropped out from the team at one point but he proved back with his performances in domestic cricket matches and he was handed over chance again into the team after. It doesn't means if one is dropped out, he doesn't have a chance to get back. I think management has put faith in him for long now and its time to do something about it.

So, you are saying that Tamim Iqbal also should be replaced with other new talents? But I don't think like that. Because as I know that Tamim is the best batsman of Bangladesh. But recently he is failing to play. That not means He will not come back on his form. So I think we need to wait a little bit more to see another couple of good match by Tamim. And Tamim should not be replaced. Thanks

In my opinion, Rahim, Sarkar, Shakib, Liton, Rahman, Saifuddin and Mahmudullah are the consistent players and the rest need to be replaced asap with new talented players which could help the team in a big way.

Shakib needs to be made the captain. I think Rahim and Liton could make a good opening pair.

I didn't either. Bangladesh had a great performance in world cup, however, it is also true that whoever had great performance in world cup, had good performance in this series too. Mushfiq and Shakib was the key performer in the world cup, Mushfiq had performed good in the Srilankan series too.

I never expected Sri Lanka to dominate Bangladesh in this manner especially after seeing their World Cup performances recently. This just goes to show how Sri Lanka is still a quality team in the ODI format.

Bangladesh needs to make some radical changes if they wish to stay relevant at this point. A 3-0 washout and their dependence on Shakib is not helping them at all.

Definitely not!!!

Test cricket wastes 5 full days and I have seen its impact where I live. Whenever India plays a test match, half of the working age males skip their work, and get themselves glued in front of the TV screen. In rural areas, the entire economic activity gets affected. If this is the case in Northeast India, I can imagine how much worse will be the situation in rest of India. T20 is somewhat better, since it gets over in 3 hours.

As expected, Angelo continues performing well just like in recent matches and his 87 from 90 balls propelled Sri Lanka close to 300 which is a competitive target.

What stunned me is how poorly Bangladesh is performing at the moment. Sarkar is the only one hanging on. Sri Lanka are decimating Bangladesh currently.

LOL I did not mean it :-P
Updated. Shame me :-D

I just learnt that in this ground Bangladesh has no win yet and not sure if they can break this trend even though they are in the better position today. May be they can hope for a fight.

Lmao. Careful Royse. Can't stop laughing. Anyway, this match could go to Bangladesh if they keep chipping away at their wickets in a steady manner. Karunaratne and Perera looked like they would build a big partnership, but got out.

I still think this is Sri Lanka's game though as long as they post something close to 280 which could be competitive. Angelo could be the batsman to watch now.

FTFY 

I didn't even know that match was in progress . Sri Lanka already won the series so not much buzz about this match. Not sure about the reason but Bangladesh is looking tired in this series.

Gays! Guys! Are you watching the third ODI between Sri Lanka va Bangladesh? Sri Lanka had a very slow start compering with the last two ODIs. May be Bangladesh have a chance to win this last ODI and show that they are not gone.

Without Shakib and with the low performance from Tamim and Mahmudullah, Bangladesh seems a broken team.

By the way, do we have a chance to see Tamim is playing in lower order today?

I don't really get this entire T-20 debate. Absolutely silly in my opinion. The T-20 format helped Cricket deliver way more entertainment value than before in my opinion and the majority would most likely agree.

Honestly, I enjoyed the IPL more than the World Cup this year. People should be happy with the T-20 format instead of bickering about it. However, test match and ODI formats are equally important even if they deliver less entertainment value.

Basically Test cricket is true form of cricket which shows a team skill, but the current time is of making money in quick time and T20 is best form of cricket to make lot of money for the boards as well as for the players. Even from the viewers point of view, they do not have the time to spend the whole day watching the test or one day match.

Real Cricket or not this comparison only comes at play when spectators/players think T-20 is a real form of cricket and judge any player skills only basis of shorter format, which is very wrong. For example: Make a team of all Big T-20 specialist players who think they are great players and put them against any County or Ranji team. I can bet you local teams can beat the shit out of them in Real Cricket any day of the week.

For international adoption or eyeballs, ICC is trying to get cricket into the Olympics. That's why ICC granted T-20I status to all 104 members. For only this reason, T-20 is very important to world cricket. But I think that even T-20 Format is long for Olympics (its another debate). May be T-10 looks okay.


Its more of adopt or die situation for all Cricketing boards.

I will talk about BCCI perpective ;

1. India is very big country and has 35+ domestic teams + Under 23 +under 19 +Under 16 .
2. More than 10k professional cricketers (including retired) BCCI has to take care of their salary.
3. Pension plan for retired cricketers. here they are waiting for Pension Hike
4. No government help in regards of infrastructure. ( In England and Australia local gov takes care of it according to my knowledge, plz correct me if i am wrong)
5. BCCI organise 800+ matches in one year ( Test series + ODI series + T-20 series )

That's why BCCI needs regular flow of money. as you already know how ICC reduced the BCCI's share (around 200 million) recently.
 
Now about Promoting Test cricket Again India's perspective; Indian cricketers gives Test cricket highest priority. in last 2 years Virat, Bumrah, Shami skipped couple of ODI and T-20 series only because of Test Match. so its depends on players too.

We have to face some fact that now Test is no longer good entertainment for most peoples as many economical and social problems most of peoples cannot stay in stadium for many days to watch this so they prefer T20 as its need very less time which we can spend easily and can enjoy and ICC and no other Board can do any alternative for this so T20 Brand is going to be more popular in near future.

But people these days get much entertainments in T-20, at the end of the day, entertainment is the purpose of every sports. You can't watch test, you can only get updated with it, it doesn't serve the purpose of entertainment. ODI can only be watched if you are on holiday or it is after your works, still not possible to watch the full match. In the end, t20 is the only game which everyone can watch the full match.

The real problem here is that people does not get enough time to spend 5 days to get to the results in a test match and majority of them end up in a draw, five days of play and no result really sucks for any sporting event and only in cricket you will see that kind of result even after five days, this is a competitive world and people are struggling to make their income and they cannot spent the entire day watching cricket and that is the reason T20 is an instant classic as you will get to the results in less than 5 hours and not waste the entire day.

Haha, you want to eliminate real batsmen and real bowlers from the international cricket and introduce shadows to play ?  

You are right we need to promote Test and ODI but greediness never want to promote these formats because they have more revenue in T20 and our jokers can perform better in this format as they have better income in very less time like soccer even now ICC is also not able to do any work in this issue as powerful boards want more revenue and its belong to T20.
