Maybe Bangladesh should play Zimbabwe or Kenya instead if they want to improve.Australia and Pakistan are at a too high level for them.

 

[andrew_nixon]

You only improve by playing teams that are better.

 

[imported_Rollo]

Well Zimbabwe and Kenya are better teams then Bangladesh.

 

[andrew_nixon]

True. But they will learn more playing Australia, Pakistan, India, England, etc. The best way to learn is from mistakes. And besides, I'm not sure Zimbabwe are better than Bangladesh at present. Zimbabwe have lost most of their best players due to the politcial situation in the country and the side is selected on political grounds rather than on merit.

 

[imported_Rollo]

Yeah,always learn from your mistakes.If Bangladesh had done that they would have been better than Australia!

Its always better to play with the big boys.Cause u get to learn some hidden secrets,and strategies.

Even for the good sides its neccesary for them to play the minnows because even the minnows have some unique stratergies.
I always notice that the minnows always have manny allrounders in their team but most of them r just handy not match winnigs player.
So...what i want to tell is....u got to have balanced teams with variety of things in it!!!

For Pakistan
i think it is a grat time for the young pakistani players to make mark for themselves with some big centuries .pakistani bowling is good but there batting tend to struggle a bit so they will have to concentrate on batting with a tough south african series coming.

As For Bangladesh
they are learning with there mistakes and they are getting better day by day day atleast they are not getting out under 100 as they were .so there are some good signs for them and i hope they will come out good in this series.

Pakistan should improve their fieiding and concentrate on batting. For bowling, it's already good with Shoaib Akhtar coming back.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Akhtar will only be a good bowler when he stops his obsession with wanting to be the fastest bowler in the world. He is capable of excellent accuracy, yet only seems to be concerned with pace.

 

[imported_Rollo]

Mohammed Sami would be my pick if Shoaib doesn't get his accuracy back.

 

[temp]

Pakistan had allowed Shoaib Akhtar to miss the series as he was playing for Durham, but M.Sami injured his ankle that's why Shoaib Akhtar has been called back from London.

 

[imported_Rollo]

I see.Let's hope he's more accurate this time although this is going to be a practice match. :

 

[andrew_nixon]

Pakistan had allowed Shoaib Akhtar to miss the series as he was playing for Durham, but M.Sami injured his ankle that's why Shoaib Akhtar has been called back from London.

Firstly, Durham is at the other end of England, so he has not been called back from London

Secondly, he will be missing the third test and the one day series to help Durham at the conclusion of the English season
