Being arrogant without warrant is fucking stupid and embaressing. Mayweather (Australia) can pull it off, Utseya (Bangladesh) can't, and that's what pisses me off
Australia would get trounced if they toured Bangladesh right now, so I think we're warranted.
Any team can lose a game, especially if they are missing 3 of their best players, 4 considering Shakib is equally good as a batsman and a bowler. Sri Lanka are in a tight spot against England, and they've gone 5-0 combined against the likes of Australia and South Africa. Unexpected results is why the game is played.
Look at Australia. They are missing 3 or 4 of their players in Warner, Smith, Hazlewood, and Starc and they are getting manhandled by mediocre teams like Pakistan. If Ashton Agar can talk a little smack, no reason Miraz can't too.
Hamilton's boys just won 1 game out of 4 against a depleted BD side and he's poking a little fun at the opposition's spin attack. Lets apply the same standard to all teams.
