Drop Bashar!!! Tamim and Bashar cost us test

[FHossain]

Its getting ridiculous how the selectors feel indebted to a man who consistently scores a 2 or a 9 or a 12 at best. He's a disgrace now. Past is past! god, if every player got picked cos of past heroics then imagine who would be playing for every other test team! It is stupid. All we needed was a good batting performance in 2nd innings. 300 runs and we'd have won! Instead we idalise tamim for one partnership in New zealand and forget logical thinking such as he's not match fit etc (thumb injury). Tamim and Bashar suppose to represent cream of top order? just look at their contributions. In 2 innings they contributed 15 runs. seriously, intelligence or lack of it is why they loose!!!!! Drop bashar, rest tamim.

[Fazal]

Actually its not Bashar and Tamim who cost us the game, its the selectors (whoever had the input to select the final 14 as well as final 11) who cost us the game. That performance by Bashar and Tamin and Mashrafee are symptoms not the source of the problem, its the selectors and their selection are the source of the problem.

Its the selector's responsibility to select the best and the Balanced team.

For Bashar - we fan already suspected the expected result. Adn that is exactly what happened.

For Tamim - The question will come, was he ready and enough prepared after the injury? Or he was selected in the team back one game too early?

The Team was not balanced. One bowler too short. Only for Shahadat's heroics it was close after first inning.


So I think the selectors should take some blame for their obviously some bad team selection.


I will wait and see what adjustment they do for next TEST (and beyond)....


1) Will they dump Bashar as its obvious now about his current capability?
2) Are they open to drop Tamim if they find out he is not 100% back yet (from his injury)
3) Are they open to give a break to mashraee for one game and try with Rasel instead?
4) Are they going to be fair with Fafhad, or they will continue to ignore him in TEST
5) Do they realize we need some completion in wicket keeping and bring another young wicket keeper like Dhiman in the equation?
6) Will they reward players who are listening to Siddon's instruction and a warning punishment to others who are ignoring his instructions and playing their own old ways.

lol bolle to onek kichui bola jae.. well i think mushfiq isn't ready for test cricket yet. Masud was way better batsman than mushfiq on test. Here is my best possible 11 for the next test:

S.Nafis
Junaid
Ashraful
Aftab
Rajin
Sakib
Mushfiq [but i prefer masud]
Razzak
Rafuque
Hossain
Mashrafee [I prefer russel]

Also, ashraful should realize he shuold give aftab few overs during the innings. We have seen how variable pace can create damage in our last NZ tour.

[sonarbangla]

i think bashar, tamim and mushfiq .. and possibly mashrafee should give rest for next few tests.

[One World]

While HB should retire, Tamim's inclusion in the second test depends on his fitness level. In first test he could not really adapt and looked unfit.

Imrul can get a call as he has good NCL stat and couple of big innings with Junaid. Farhad can be chosen said that we already have openers. He can become our "Kallis".

[djnaved]

man drop mushfique, i don't wanna see this player anymore.. he missed the stamping of ashwell prince.. what a poor show

[sonarbangla]

i think BCB should enforce habibul to retire rater than rafuque.

[djnaved]

habar kotha badh den... o aro tin chair bochor khelbo eiter shobar jana

mushfique je easy stumping miss korlo eita mainna nite partachi na

[Tokai]

50 is a round number, Sumon should be happy with it. We need rajin instead.

[desirocker]

Habla Bashar er jodi ek bindu lojja thakto taile o retire korto; desher khoti korto na...

[WarWolf]

Thanks irteja. Very useful information. Fazil selector gulore jodi pathano jaito ei stats.... Ami sure ora jane na.

It is pretty pointless to wait till this guy retires! We already know that he won't, and that is not that a bad thing, because it is his source of income, and he can still play FC matches if he wants, but honestly just DROP HIM from the international arena!

First he gets a match because of his 3000 runs or whatever, and now he gets another one coz of his 50th match. Wow, this one just cost us a really really good game! No further excuses please, just drop him!

When a team looses one or two men, it still is acceptable, and the team can still get back, and bashar plays at a very very crucial spot, and we all know before he even comes to the creace that another man is down, and that puts the entire team in jeoperdy! I really pity ashraful to come onto the field rite after bashar!
