Twenty20 World Cup
Ireland knock Tigers out (June 09, 2009) It's the result of wrong tactics.
Md Touhidul Alam Md. Ashraful has lost his credibility as the captain of Bangladesh. What does he think he was doing when he got out--helping the Irish fielder practice his catching? Why Rubel at the crucial point of the game and not the experienced Razzak? He is too much busy talking with the press. He should focus on his batting.
Habiba Embarrassing performance, really embarrassing.
Bangadeshi fan Pardon Alok, Shahriar Nafis and Aftab and bring them back to the team. The sooner, the better.
Syed Ali Beush It is disgraceful that our cricket team lost to Ireland. I think poor tactics and even poorer batting let us down. The board should look into it.
Tuhin Ashraful should go. He has no capability of being the leader and set an example for the team. Now it's time for the BCB administration to show some professionalism and realise what it takes in modern day cricket to breed a good leader. Only cricketing capabilities are not good enough to become a leader.
ST Look at Sri Lanka, if our management needs a success model.
Ruhel Rahman Thanks boys. Thanks for making us 'proud' once more. We owe you a lot.
Sakib Let Ashraful serve the team and thus the nation with his batting. Let him concentrate on his batting to prove that he is really talented. His success as a batsman will better serve the interest of the team.
Lutful Kabir The team lost because they are just not good enough.
Shaukat Ali Disgusting performance. As a citizen, I am calling for full accountability from top to bottom . Shahriar Nafis, Alok Kapali, Aftab Ahmed and Nazimuddin must be brought back into the national team.Hisham Chowdhury I think Bangladesh cricket team needs a new captain.
Sajib The loss against Ireland was nothing unusual. It was not unexpected. Ireland played well and I congratulate the Irish team. Our team has again successfully proved that they dream too big and achieve nothing finally. They again had higher expectations before the tournament and again they proved that they are nothing but sore losers. Now what will be the excuse from our players and from the cricket board? Of course, they will come out with a solid excuse! Who knows, they might save themselves saying that even Australia are out of the World Cup, so anything can happen in cricket!!
Minhaj Ahmed Change is a must for the Bangladesh team. At first, change the captain and then bring back Kapali, Shariar, Aftab and Nazimuddin.
Joshim Uddin Bhuiyan Change we need. Nothing wrong with the players, they play according to their merit. One really can not expect undergraduates to compete with the smart contingents of world cricket. We need to bring in Shahriar Nafis.
Sohel Ahmed Ashraful must concentrate on batting and we need someone to be very specific on his strength. BCB is also to be blamed, as they could not find a good leader. Please bring back the good experienced players.
Kamal I think Ashraful has given many glorious defeats to Bangladesh. Now he must be tired of defeats. Bring in a new face.
Molla A. Latif It was a weird decision that Ashraful brought in Rubel to bowl the 17th over, while Ireland batsmen were struggling against the spinners, and Shakib and Razzak both had one over left at that time!
Anmoy After this, Ashraful as a reasonable man (if he is) should resign.
Tayhsin Ashraful should leave captaincy...if not asked to leave...
Ahmed Isa Stop calling them tigers - they are no better than chickens. The fact is that they still are minnows in international cricket.
Ron It is time for Ash to quit his captaincy and hand it over to someone with better judgment and batting capability. Quit Ash, quit, if you want any credibility as a cricket player for a promising Bangladesh.
Mehdi Islam Md. Ashraful does not deserve to be the captain of Bangladesh. Why did he use Rubel instead of Shakib at the crucial point of the match?
Jakarta For heaven's sake, SACK the entire team!!! None of them understands how cricket is played.... at least mentally!! Just hitting the ball with the bat is NOT cricket.
Aamer Reza They are not fit for this level of cricket.
Engr. S.M. Shoel Akter Our team's only consistency is in letting down the country whenever people are expecting something really good. It just gets particularly worse for expat Bangladeshis, leaving nothing to look up to. As there have been rewards for good performance, there should be punishment too for performance like this.
