well the discussion of mominul versus marshall is debatable i'll admit. i think both are worthy of selection at current. don't forget the selectors picked mominul during the WI series, he's more of an FC cricketer so i'm happy with them backing him (yes i know that was ODIs). i think SN's place in the squad is a bigger question to mominul's though.

now for mominul at #3, from what i can see batting at #3 in FC cricket his notable scores are: 52, 56, 54. he's also got a 42. ok no centuries at #3 but it shows he can bat there, he doesn't actually bat at #3 that often so the fact that when he bats there he does a pretty good job should say he has the ability to bat there.

anyway the best FC #3 in BD is anamul haque so no point of getting into a debate about the #3 spot. i'm simply saying if anamul bats as opener, mominul is an option.
