Habibul Bashar Team Quotations

We played badly in the last two series that only helped our critics to raise their voices. But now I tell you that this is a different side. The team is also in good touch after the one-day series. I can assure you that you will see a different Bangladesh in the Tests.

It is not impossible because we have beaten several strong teams in the past, and now we can wish for a win against Sri Lanka too.

The national team players are very serious to perform well in the competition.

Yes, I am happy that it would not be the same story I have been telling for long. Believe me I am always confident with my team because I know my boys are capable to do anything.

No team could be compared with them but we are counting on the good cricket we've played recently. I have little doubt about the ability of my players and I want stubborn efforts from them.

The much-awaited win will embolden our confidence, which will help us build a fight against any team in future.

When we started the series against Sri Lanka, nobody expected us to win anything. But after the first Test (against Australia) everyone had a different impression about us. I think this is our team achievement.

We have seen how someone in their team inevitably contributes when needed. Our tail can learn a great deal from Gillespie. Not only his double century, he was also involved in a big partnership with Adam Gilchrist in the first Test when they were in a corner and Brett Lee also took the game away from us with his batting in the second innings. The bottom line is we all need to work a bit more harder.

We feel now that we can push any team in the world. We are showing improvement which is most important. As Dav has said, we have to be more consistent with our batting, but we have improved.

I think it is difficult to make any plan successful against a team like Australia. We will better concentrate on our own game.
