That's definitely going to happen. Nazimuddin has been selected for that opening slot only. So it's between Junaid/SN for # 3 slot. If both of them comes in (Which is very unlikely) then One of Nasir/Riyad might be sitting out.
Nazza! is too great a batsman to be restricted to a particular slot in the batting order. He can and he will do it all.

Why...he belongs to the Kalpurush tribe?
Hope he does debut and bowls well as the Windies have a few lefties. If Shakib and Sunny bowls well this will be a tight affair.
We hope a revived Rajib and Rubel (if fit) will give us much needed early breaks. Shakib needs to adjust his bowling tho.

Didn't like Mushy putting pressure on TI & Shak... And kind of made the other players role (Including him) secondary.... He should have rather tried to lift the team, instead of speaking out TI & Shak dependency.....
West Indies always say that they are professional team so they don't have any problem to adjust with Test cricket after T20I but our players say they have serious problem to adjust with Test cricket. Probably our players are right but they have to have mentality to adjust anywhere and anytime. We shouldn't always find excuse.

Everyone in the chat room will be watching. Most anyone who appears online (check the bottom of each thread for currently active veiwers) will be watching live. I plan on wathing the first and last sessions...unless of course your boys get off to a particularly good start then I'll probably get back to work.
