Ladies, we have WI vs Ind ODI's encounter coming today within 5 hours. Let's see if Windies is capable of giving any fight to Indians. Wishing for some fightback from Windies side. Otherwise, it's going to be another dead series similar to T-20.

From Indian side Sikhar is back as an opener, Bumrah, Spin Twins are back as well ( only one play because Jadeja is also in the squad) Still testing time for Middle order.

For Windies, nothing going right at this moment if we look at their openers. Chris Gayle U-Turn can do some magic though. The middle-order seems reasonable, and they have above-average bowling line-up who can be very lethal in their day and win matches for them.

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.
Even i was taken away by these performance by Bangladesh, after seeing the world cup i thought Bangladesh was a much better team and could even win the series in Srilanka but they got white washed and none of the matches were competitive as Srilanka dominated in every department in all the three matches and i am not sure how they can make radical changes and make some impact, they need to groom their players when their top players are in the team and that is how you built a team and not by making radical changes all of a sudden.
In addition with the lack of Shakib, it was Srilanka, not England. In England, it was much easy to have score on the board. However, Bangladesh didn't play as expected, but if it was in Bangladesh, I bet SL will lose the series.

I do not know what changes will be effective but they really need to do something about Tamim. Also they need to find a bowling unit that take wickets. In the entire WC we have seen they were heavily dependent on their batting unit.
Anamul was given chance in the last match after a long time, he didn't perform well but I wish BCB decides to try him at least for 5/6 matches before deciding about replacement. He is a good opener for one day.
We don't have much bowling option these days. Mostafiz has become poor after the surgery. Other bowlers like Rubel, Shafiul can never be the bowler of first spell, to be honest. We don't have many option either. It would be better to keep focus on BPL to get some young bowlers at the team. Abu Haidar was doing fine but after poor bowling in 3/4 matches, he was dropped.
This is a big problem of BCB, never gives enough time, not applicable for Tamim though  Cheesy
Now as BCB is gaining some good profit from BPL and good sponsors they need to do some work for strong setup as they must work on Bowling academy as MRF Bowling Academy in India which bring too many good bowlers for them because right now they are facing some serious drought in this  department and this can help them even take some long time but works surely.

The Bangladesh team in WC and this Bangladesh team is totally different because of Shakib's absence. On top of it Tamim is having his worst time in the career, Mahmudullah Riyad is struggling for runs even Mushfiqur Rahim did not perform yesterday.

I think Bangladesh needs to learn how to win matches without Shakib. It's like the Indian team once it used to be. Sachin, Ganguly did not perform, India could not perform.
I remember that time very nicely. The Indians were playing poor Cricket and were in a dismal state whenever Sachin and Sehwag had bad starts. MSD changed the game by making some drastic changes here which was initially met with heavy criticism from the Indians, but this move helped them lift the World Cup after a long gap. If Bangladesh does the same, they might be an even better team in the future.

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
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.

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.
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.

Seriously we need to promote Test cricket and ODI instead of T20 and other format.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Gays! Guys!

FTFY  Tongue

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.
