why rajjak? what has he done other than getting blasted in the last match that he played?

we've too much good players in stock and everybody's performing very consistently. so we may try using australian player rotation policiy

[fwullah]

I just had a sneak-peek at the IND match that we won - we had the following bowling line up:

1. Tapash
2. Mashrafee
3. Nazmul
4. Mahmud
5. Rafique


Why can't we have the same bowling combination against Zimbabwe? I know that Rafique is out through injury, so why didn't we let Enamul Junior just take the position of Rafique and then leave the rest of the guys same as before?

Why can't Tapash, Mashrafee, Nazmul and Mahmud play in the same team? Aren't we relying too much on spin from the very first game in this ODI series?

Rajjak is a good spin bowler, but as it was evident from the very first game that if a specialist bowler is not himself, then this Zimbabwe side will smash that bowler no matter how good a (spin) bowler he is.

answer: over confidence leading to complacency

[aftitabi]

Frankly speaking, Rana didn't do too bad/

[AsifTheManRahman]

i dont know why they are replacing rana with rajjak either

I think we are focusing to the wrong point.
If someone thinks that the only reason for defeat in the 2nd ODI are the bowlers, then I will not agree. It's true that they have conceded 90 runs in the last 10 overs, but still the bowlers restricted Zim total less than first ODI. The miserable failure was the middle order. We were short of batsman. Now with the new changes if Enam Jr., Nazmul and Razzak will play in the playing XI then we will be more short of batsman then the last ODI.
Razzak's bowling was proved as toothless and ineffective against Zim in the very first match, can he prove it otherwise?

thats exactly why i want rana in the team instead of rajjak.

[sadi]

i am so mad at the selectors. They keep making mistakes. I rather see three fast bowlers than the spinners like rana or razzak who is not effective at all. Taking out tapash is only gona make our batting weaker cuz i dun think nazmul is a better bowler than tapash. So i would rather play nazmul in place of rana. so my side is nafis, razin, aftab, sumon, ash, pilot, sujon, masrafee, tapash, nazmul and enamul.

[Cricket46]

As far as I am concerned, there are too many inexperienced players in the proposed playing XI - Nafis, Aftab, Nazmul, Enamul, and Razzak. Can they handle a pressure match like this one? Sumon has said this is a do-or die match? Aftab, Nazmul and Razzak are not in the best of forms. I hope this team proves me wrong.

Except Sumon, Nafis and Pilot all the others can bowl - atleast as a part time bowler. But what about the batting? We were complaining about a batsman short in the previous team. That problem still persists.

[Faisal]

guys dont worry..... masrafee palying.... tapos getting drop and nazmul wil play insted of tapos...

so masrafee & nazmul palying

[Ehsan]

I would put Tapash ahead of Nazmul as Tapash can bat a bit and if required can slog as well, Nazmul can do none.

[mahbubH]

Good Aftab is in ... hope he will shine this time. Taposh is always a better choice than Nazmul who knows may be he is not fit. Razzak is better bowler than Rana . This team is weaker in batting (on paper) than 2nd ODI teram ....

[akabir77]

I know why taposh is out and razak is in...
you see probably there is some local MP trying to take his GORU so he left the team to protect them and RAzaak was told to bowl with his bend hand so he get band but more imp get 10 wkts

[Bat-PadTogether]

Changes will not help guys.We are going to loose the series 5-0.Zims are far better side in ODI.Where is Mr.Pull(Bashar) who with his big mouth told the media that his team will win the ODI series 5-0.Just Big mouth.........Sack Bashar as captain so he can concentrate on his batting.

[reyme]

ONE change might help. Niaz Morshed/Ziaur Rahman/Rifat Bin Sattar as CAPTAIN but will play as a 12/13th man in the team.

Someone who can play chess game. This way he will have a plan, handle mental pressure and adjust as game demands. Just convey the game plan to the "acting" captain in the filed. "Muchosta bidda" is in our blood, if the question is not common in the exam we tend to get nervous and do poorly in the exam. Isn't that right???

This might sound like a joke, but thats how the football is played in NFL. Really lot of time it is easy to plan for the game when you are just watching. My hope is Dav Whatmore should assume this position, to be more practical. But apparently since he is also watching with the rest of us, I would make Niaz Morshed as the thinktank CAPTAIN.

Picture Left: Captan Bashar checking the pitch before deciding to bowl first, or to bat first or to pass both and go home.

Picture Right: New surprise in BD bowling lineup to address slog overs. Bowls much faster than ChaCha.
