ICL to close shop? - Page 2

Ajfar · #26 January 10, 2009, 11:19 PM

just because ICL gets recognized don't get ur hopes up..there is no gurantee that these players will get selected..specially knwing our selectors...don't forget their necks a bit crooked..

zainab · #27 January 11, 2009, 08:25 AM

There is a strong indication that this controversy will be settled by the ICC at the end of the month. BCCI will relent and try to recognize the ICL as a legal league and will work out how they can work with each other, which IMO is the right thing to do.

No ego, No biasness!! If these guys are back. Only their performance should earn them a spot in the team!! Even if it means to replace half the teams.

The only ones performing should be selected!!!

zainab · #29 January 12, 2009, 07:13 AM

I still have hope in Alok and Aftab if all goes right.

I really really really want SN back for ODIs. I just don't feel Junaid is a good one day player. SN is very talented and still pretty young. Plus with him around, we don't have to worry about losing to teams like Zimbabwe!

Yeah, zunaid is just an overrated player, that 71 against pakistan in T20 was a fluke.

lets not be too disappointed bro. he still got a long way.

I hope ICL can exist in some way as an ICC approved league. It would be a shame for all the BD, PAK, NZ and Indians who play in the league to not be able to make the money they were.

I never agreed with the ban of the players to begin with so it will be good see the boys back in the national team again. With the T20 world cup this year, I think if allowed, the DW experience in ICL will prove invaluable. I think the following players are due for a callback based on their ICL performance

SN : ODI and T20, possibly even Test. Nafees at any give time period still had better avg. then other members of the team. His crime was he didn't live up to the expectations of the performing Nafees. Compared to other BD batsmen he was always among the best

AA: ODI and T20. Perfect #3 for T20. Use the powerplay overs, get the runs, keep the RR going. Can be a good 6 or 7 in ODI. Excellent fielder

AK : ODI and T20. ICL performance was amazing. Batting showed composure and temperment throughout the tournamen was pure professional

Rubel : ODI and T20.

Dhiman: All forms. His keeping is much better than Mushy. Mushy makes the ODI and Test team as a specialist batsman anyways.

Rafique : Tests. May have another year in him if talked out of retirement. Still has fight left in him.

I'm imagining a T20 XI for the World cup as

Tamim
Nafees (c)
Aftab
Kapali
Ashraful
Shakib
Dhiman
Mashrafe
Rubel
Rasel
1 more pacer/medium pacer

Who is this Alok everyone talkin about?

Gowza · #35 January 13, 2009, 11:56 PM

tbh it wouldn't surprise me if mithun ali was called up for the t20 world cup, he's going great guns in the domestic one-day matches, scoring runs at a pretty good rate.

This Alok is our Tendulakor and Bradman combined till he come to bat. Once he face quality bowling, he became a deer in front headlight. He played for Bangladesh after 2, 80s for three years (his fan still claim he was not given enough chance) and now fan demands he should be in the team because he scored a century though team lost.

Totally agree.Alok got lot of chance to prove himself in the national team.Remember Dav watmore once made him number 9 batsman.with full respect to Alok he will fail in front of quality bowler

alok is the best

sharjilh · #39 January 16, 2009, 07:10 AM

Alok is a must! he is THE best, man the shots he was hitting in ICL off some good bowling, WOW! lol

akabir77 · #40 January 16, 2009, 01:00 PM

Alok also failed before some what quality bowlers of the pak team... which tells me he is only good for A and acdemy or ICL bhua teams...

lol you kidding me?! Did you see with what ease he was batting even against some quality bowling. Also how he swat them away for six without much effort. He is just class, who had to leave right when he started playing well! And also remember, he's got a test hattrick :P

problem is that everyone just see the thing according to their own choice and taste, how much Alok perform or how good Ashraful play some people doesn't bother about that, they just care how to discredit those performance by their own taste and choice of logic.

So, Srilanka had withdrawn the ban from their ICL palyers, good move by board and govt: http://www.shamokal.com/details.php?nid=100827

Bugz · #45 January 17, 2009, 09:51 PM

People on here pumping up Alok Kapali really suprise me. He has played only one good innnings at international level and then went onto dominate mediocre ICL attacks on the flattest of pitches. If he is the man Bangladesh should look to build around, we are in a lot of trouble.

A flat track bully of the highest order.

Afatb also fits into this catergory and Bangladesh are better without his careless batting at the top of the order.

In truth Nafees is the only player currently in the ICL that is of importance to the future of Bangladesh's cricket...

mijanur · #46 January 18, 2009, 05:30 AM

alok and nafees r class

They only did it partially.
They only took the ban from the Domestic cricket. But not from the International.

mijanur · #48 January 19, 2009, 12:23 PM

At least they took some step forward, why not our ICL exodus play our domestic too!!

karimjay. · #50 January 20, 2009, 11:14 AM

we'll get the most oout of it if ICL disbands in a few years, after the players have had enough experience in the intense league, so they can bring it in to international.

i'm assuming that the bcb will lift their bans by then..
