Mushfiq's Captaincy

[al Furqaan]

Since Mushy has taken the captaincy in 2011, he has been by far the WORST captain in the world. Even Brendon Taylor of Zimbabwe was a far more intelligent leader on the field.

Since Mushy has been in charge, Bangladesh has - by far - the worst bowling average, 8 runs higher than next-worst, Zimbabwe.

The absolute low points, IMO, were 2 particular innings:

The time when he just let Sanga score 319 by pushing all fielders back at the end of the over and allow him to farm the strike with the tail.

The second one was when he did the same thing to Chakabva and gave him the easiest test ton ever scored.

However, since the SA Tests, I have been pleasantly surprised to see positive field settings from Mushy.

It continued in the current Test vs England were we have bowled the opposition out for 248 and 293 in our last 2 completed innings, respectively.

Mushy has kept close in catchers for the spinners, and set innovative fields at crucial times. In fact, I would go so far as to say that in the last 2 innings, he's been perfect in his captaincy.
