Being able to defend the ball on flat pitches shouldn't give you a free ride to #2 spot on a International Test Squad.

But anyone but Imrul.

Agreed.

Naeem, Test Opener ?? HHS

^ We need to stop picking up players and try to push them into a role, rather pick up players that actually fit the role to begin with. I would give Naeem a shot at number 4, he deserves it more than Rokibul. And that's where he usually bats at.

I agree. Naeem should either bat where he bats in domestic cricket (i.e. in the middle order) or not bat at all. Ideally, I'd like to see someone like Jahirul do well and earn the #4 spot, or Hom given a chance owing to his Hussey-like average in FC cricket.

Then again, when Riyad returns, where does he bat? Either Naeem or Nasir will likely get the chop when that happens.

I think Rok will be dropped.

Jialam will be perfect at #4 in test. He should open in ODI. Can't wait to see him return. Siddique at 3. Nafees to open.

That's IF Jahurul performs on the A team tour. He hasn't scored a half century in a very long time in any form of game. Same with Junaid. Both of them need to help themselves out. We know they got it in them.

I'm looking forward to chatting to you guys when the A team tour starts this weekend.

It's been a real pleasure reading your posts during the series(I am a relative new comer to this forum, so no spiels about being a part of the family etc etc...) but that doesn't mean I don't recognize class when I see it.

Hopefully you'll continue to drop by time to time, and of course whenever our two nations(well as far as cricket is concerned) face off.
