Match Thread: 2nd Test, Bangladesh vs. West Indies at SANS, Khulna; November 21-25, 2012

[Naimul_Hd]

Just in:

According to TV news, Nazimuddin and Abul Hossain may play in the place of Junaed and Shahadat.

Well, we will see what happens tomorrow morning.

[MyRoom]

The wise thing is to have Anamul Haque instead of Nazimuddin. Abul for Shahadat is perfectly justified.

[MyRoom]

I disagree, I saw some some of the latest pictures from Khulna and the wicket looks dry but regardless for Bangladesh sake, need to win the toss. Khulna looks a great place to play test matches same with Fatullah.

[Nadim]

Abul!!!! I'm sure he will do good in this match and inshallah in the future test matches

[MyRoom]

Abu Hasan has consistent pace, Shahadat don't understand why is still playing still hasn't achieved a 100 test wickets despite playing well over 30 test games. Its best to freshen things up bring in Anamul and Abul for Zunaed and Shahadat we have nothing to lose anyway. It important though we finally win the toss and bat. The Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna looks fantastic with all that forest behind it surprised the last time it held International matches was way back in 06.

[Nadim]

Anamul not playing 100%

ঢাকা থেকে উড়ে আসা আনামুল হক যে খেলছেন না তা নিশ্চিত। জুনায়েদের না খেলাটাও প্রথম টেস্টের পর নিশ্চিত করে ফেলেছেন জাতীয় দল নির্বাচকরা। নির্ভরযোগ্য সূত্র জানিয়েছে, পেসার আবুল হাসান রাজু এবং ইলিয়াস সানি অতিরিক্ত তালিকায় ছিলেন এবং থাকছেনও।

সেক্ষেত্রে তামিম ইকবালের সঙ্গে ব্যাটিং ওপেন করতে পারেন নাজিমউদ্দিন। শাহরিয়ার নাফীস, নাঈম ইসলাম, সাকিব আল হাসান, মুশফিকুর রহিম, নাসির হোসেন, মাহমুদউল্লাহ, সোহাগ গাজী, রুবেল হোসেন ও সাহাদাত হোসেন আগের জায়গায় খেলতে পারেন।

Is Mushy afraid to bring a good competitor in the team?

We are a group of cowards. Having an extra batsman would help us scoring 1 thousands runs in an innings? An extra spinner like Sunny would be much more worthy than a cheap batsman like SN. But we have the hearts of chickens.

Our team should be renamed to CHICKENS, not tigers.

[BengalT]

Mushy Scared with his own form. Imagine both mushy and Anamul playing. If Anamul does well than Mushy... Hmm.

Well said..one loser gets replaced by another loser. It takes big heart to come utside of the box and take a bold step. But the chicken hearted management are too scared to try anything new. They rather go with experienced losers than a young guy who is doing so good..

After Gazi's success I thought our mindset would change. But apparently it didn't

Ok let me think positive

1. Tamim- 150+
2. Nazim- 200 ball 50
3. SN- 30ish
4. Naeem- 100
5. Shakib- 98 + 5 wicket haul
6. Mushy- 35-45
7. Riyad- 50+
8. Nasir- 55-65
9. Gazi- 5 wicket haul
10.SRK- golla or Sunny- 5 wicket haul
11. Rubel- 3 wkt



BTW I don't think Anamul is playing as they asked Nazim to practice so he is coming in for ZS...

[KaaL-PurusH]

We have a bit of situation. We need to play with 4 bowler +shakib. But we dont have any solid #3 and cant drop nasir/riyad, on top of that they cant bat at#3. So we have to play with imbalanced team.

[MyRoom]

Still will not believe if Nazimuddin and Shahadat are selected even though they were the ones that cost really us the Asia Cup. Number 2 ranked all-rounder Shakib needs to find his form again and it would be a wise move to select Anamul considering he plays for Khulna anyway.

[mali007]

Anamul was best batsman in last under19 WC , also scored century in longer version of NCL tournament. Still not considered to be in the Eleven ! 1st eleven is selected my captain and the coach. May be Mushy is scared of Anamul's performance , so manipulating coach to keep him outside!!

[Dilscoop]

I don't think Rahim alone can veto Anamul. Don't accuse him like that blindly.

As you can see, selectors are being very protective with Anamul, probably because they don't want to drop him in the next series. If he gets picked I want him to ply at least two whole season.

how are selectors protective with anamul?

surely this is the best moment for Anamul to debut as The Pitch seems batting friendly and The Bowling attack of WI is not too threatening. I think its the best moment that he should be given a chance, even if he fails he can go back and improve at domestic and Bangladesh A team level before the next series.

I guess you never had root canal or had to watch paint dry.

Umm because if he fails surely they will "have to" drop him on the next series, as usual.

The selectors are trying their best to not make the same mistakes as AAK and Co of Dev Era and I can respect that. On the other hand, looks like the fans never learned from it.

If he is in the squad, he should play. JS ("I can average 25 in any format") should be kicked out.

Why, despite being a crafty bowler, Nazmul seldom gets a chance? When he does, it is only for a match or two.

[Dilscoop]

OMG! NAZMUL HOSSAIN! It just doesn't make sense. Over and over and over again! Surely someone in the panel has some sort of beef with him or else I can't really find any good reason for this horrible treatment he receives.

If i am not mistaken he got a century in that game.

We are not expecting our batsmen to be of Tendulkar's class yet, but some discipline would help our cause.

I want only Tamim to go for his shots. It looks like he does not do too well in defense. However, even he should go after the bad balls. Every over has at least one of those.

They don't, if used too much, even in a poem.
