Mine would be the same except I'd hae Robiul in instead of Mahbubul. Why did you not have him in there? If its to rest him, its sort of understandable. However, if Shafi isn't 100% from his injury yesterday, I'd just slot Robiul in instead of Shafi. Looks like we both agree on leaving out Razzak and Imrul..most of the forum agrees I think..but questions is whether the selectors understand our concern.

[Tiger Manc]

The ticket price is £13. It's the same price for each day. I'm thinking of going on wednesday, is anyone else attending the match?

1. Tamim
2. Jahurul
3. Junaid
4. Ashraful
5. Riyad
6. Mushfiqur
7. Naeem
8. Shahadat

This is a much stronger team than the previous 2 county teams, will be difficult for BD to win this one.

I like your Squad but I want Shamsur Rahman and Jahurul both play instead of Naeem, Naeem can never get his form back in English swinging conditions, he needs to practice hitting sixes to Shahadat more in the nets for a year ro two.

should we risk tamim ???? if no then both Jahurul and Shamshur plays. otherswise drop ashraful to make place for both shamshur and jahurul. ashraful has had enough batting practice. i still think all other batsmen needs more practice.

bowling wise i would like to see robin play. dont know who to drop. may be either shafiul or rubel who is not fit. so my team

Omi
shuvo
imroze
motin/tamim (if tamim fit he opens, shamshur plays at four)
chokka (let him bat a bit higher)
riadh
mushfiq
rajib
shuhash/robin
rubel/robin
shiplu

why should he get dropped from the Test team because he did horrible in the world T20? Take a look at his scores from the recent test series against England, and also remember that he was batting at number 9.

Tamim
Shamsur
Zunaid
Ashraful
Naeem
Riyad
Mushfiq
Imrul
Rajib
Robiul
Robin

[fais]

we shud def. play robiul - i dont care if he has crap consistency, he obviously has some great balls as demonstrated by the last two practice matches, he shud play ahead of rubel (similar pace but robiul seems to be more effective in wicket taking)
