Some selection headache for selectors. Yes Ash and Aftab did well but who open with Javed ? and who is in the bowling line up?

I think:

1. Javed
2. Nafees/Shahriar
3. Bashar
4. Ashraful
5. Aftab
6. Tushar
7. Mashud
8. Rafuque
9. Syed Russel
10. Tapash/Shahadat/Talha
11. Enamul

what do you think guys ?

There's no point of picking Nafees Iqbal. He was a total failure in both of the England tours and this practice match. I would be very surprised if Dev picks him ahead of Shahriar Nafees or Tushar Imran.

I read in Prothom alo or somewhere else that DAV said Nafees is going to be ok.
So he is taking Nafees...
Too bad too bad...

in test matches,i prefer to have five bowlers.i think if 6 batsmen cant score runs,playing seven wont make any difference.my ideal bowling combination is 3 pacers and 2 spinners.playing aftab as the 5th bowler will never help the situation.he is not good enough to be the 5th bowler,and bowling long overs will also hamper his batting.so it is a lose-lose situation for him and for the team.
