Better take out Morx, Alok and Sujon. Bring in Talha, Hannan and Bulbul. That gives stronger batting with 5 bowlers Taposh, Monjur, Rofik, Talha, Ash. Occational bowling from bulbul, Sumon.

Rokon
Ash
Hannan
Sumon
Bulbul
Tushar
Pilot
Alok/Talha
Rafik
Mojur
Taposh

That is if Bulbul is still there. I think they sent him home. In that case, Sezan gets another chance.

are to blame for yesterday's debacle...they are the ones in some sort of form...there was no need to throw their wickets away like that?!?!? they should have instead focussed on a more solid partnership..at least they should for the next match...as for sujon & durjoy...they are coming back to international cricket after a while...can't blame them too much if they are nervous and buckle under pressure...

Still going with Baishya? He has been flooded with runs so far.

Orpheus · #4 August 5, 2002, 01:18 PM

Yeah, Baishya is too costly. You can take out Tapash instead of Kapali. (Raj bhai, Kapali did not do anything wrong, it's just his position). Kapali is economical but he doesn't get wickets whereas Tapash seems to get one or two. So you have to decide - can you bowl out the Srilankans?? or should you restrict their runs but let em play the whole day?? Bulbul isn't there but even if he was - Seezan should be given the opportunity. Again the same concept - Young over old. Jaihok...

kapali will suit lot better at 7/8. Yes, take taposh out for Talha. But I dont have any expectation from Durjoy and Sujon.

Kapali was supposed to get his maiden ODI wicket maybe in the first ODI, I remember it because it was Ashraful who dropped Atapattu off Kapali's bowling.

Later Monju ran Atapattu out.

**Tehsin** · #7 August 6, 2002, 02:22 AM

Rokon
Ashraful
Sanwar
Sumon
Tushar
Seezan/Alok
Pilot
Alok/Talha
Rafik
Taposh/Talha
Monjur

Not a very balanced team but onek balance to dekhlaam.

With Rokon, Ash, Sumon, Tushar and Seezan/Sanwar (I think they are both there), at least 2/3 of them should click with Pilot.
On the other hand, keep the five bowlers and we get Manju, Alok, Rafique and either Talha or Taposh. Taposh gets whacked really bad, maybe if he cnocentrates more on technique and less on speed, he can control that.

Whats wrong with hannan? Didnt he do better than Sezan so far?

**Tehsin** · #9 August 6, 2002, 01:45 PM

I thought he was injured. If he isn't then I have to wonder why the MGMT decided to play the combo of Durjoy/Shujon and not place him instead of one of these two.

Hannan Sarkar being called Bnaglaadesh's tendulkar!!!!!!! Anyone knows if there is any truth to that?!?!?!?

**Mahmood** · #11 August 6, 2002, 03:14 PM

According to Ittefaq, hannan will play instead of Durjoy. That seems to be the only change.
