Its unrealistic to assume Rafiq out Rana in. Just wait and you will see.

[kashful]

In my opinion I think Nazmul should play along with Masrafee for the ODI's as fast bowler. Tapash is not doing that good so Nazmul is the person with our Masrafee. Rajin Saleh is not inform so he should give the chance to Manjurul Rana. Aftab is doing well, Ashraful just saved his back, so he will get the position for ODI's. Habibul Bashar, Javed and Khaled already secured the place. Pilot the wicket kepper will get the chance any way, I m still in doubt abt Nafeez Iqbal and Tushar Imran who should opened the innings. I think Rafique will do well this time.

Hey guys we just need an win against England to take the revenge, What do you think?

My team for ODI

1) Javed - He should open in all the 6 matches no
matter he scores or not bcoz there is no
replacement of him right at the moment
who has all the qualities like Javed who can
be called our perfect open
2) Nafis/Rajin- Nafis is my 1st pereferance but if he perfoms badly in 1st 3matches Rajin should be brought in coz he can play good as a opener. We saw that against India in the 3rd ODI where he played as an opener for the 1st time i blv. But as he aint playing good at present (we saw recently in 2nd test vs Eng and 2 practice mathces)So, leave him alone for the 1st 3 ODI's
3)Khaled Mashud- he should open coz i feel he aint too agreesive as soon as he comes but he has wht we can say the ability to keep the score board ticking. Aftab Ahmed is my choice too but this guy's gonna be getting too agressive he is happen to come inside 1st 15 overs.So, Mashud play for 6ODI's at 1st down.
4)Aftab Ahmed. All 6 ODI's
5)Mohammed Ashraful/Tushar Imran- Ash my 1st choice for 1st 3 ODI's but not performing than its Tush comin for next 3ODI's.
6)Habibul Bashar
7)Manzarul Islam Rana
8)Khaled Mahmud
9)Mohammed Rafique
10)Mashrafee
11)Nazmul Hossain

Note:- Dont make Shariar Nafees play any ODI's as he aint ready yet. He scored 0 in the 2nd practice match. So. ofocurse his confidence low. Tapash aint good too but of Mashrafee happens to perform badly, make him play 1-2 match.

[Sam]

I have a different view over the openers.
For series of matches both Nafees Iqbal and Shahriar Nafees have failed to prove themselves as the right partner of JO. On the other hand, Tushar played gritty and brave innings in both the matches, although in the latest match he could not score much. I feel, Tushar will be more useful than any one of the Nafeeses. But as he never opened any innings, we cannot put him as an opener. Ash has opened the innings several times in the past. We may have a good combination with Jo and Ash in the opening slot. Tushar looks very much ready for the call and he deserves it. Chacha also should play being supported by his performance.
Ultimately the team looks like this:
1. JO
2. Ash
3. Aftab
4. Basher
5. Tusher
6. Rana
7. Mashud
8. Rafique
9. Mahmud
10. Mashrafee
11. Nazmul

[sadi]

khaled is not secured.... he has a very good chance to get in yeah...but not secured at all........he has to fight with rana for the allrounder position.... i would play 6 batsman, 1 allrounder and 3 bowlers alone with pilot.... so team is like....... nafis, javed, aftab, ashraful, habibul, tushar, rana, pilot, rafique, mashrafe and nazmul.

Hi kashful, welcome to our forum.
BTW, on the same topic there is one more thread (at least), so you could write your opinion there. It's a request from the Moderators not to duplicate threads.
Thanks and enjoy your stay in this forum.

Here is the other thread

[Shish Ahmed]

My Team for 1st ODI

1. Javed Omar
2. Tushar Imran
3. Aftab Ahmed
4. Habibul Bashar
5. Md. Ashraful
6. Manjural Islam Rana
7. Khaled Mashud
8. Md. Rafique
9. Khaled Mahmud
10. Mashrafe
11. Nazmul Hossain

I would let Tushar open with Javed playing anchor, so all the stroke players can play around him. May even have to consider Rana going in at no. 4/5 if wickets are falling.

Bowling:-

Mashrafe
Nazmul
Chacha
Rafique
Rana/Aftab,

Aftab can fill in a few overs if Rana's getting belted around or vise verser.

[BangladeshFan]

chacha should not play, atleast not for the 1st two ODIs , he will get slaughtered by aussie and england batsmen.
he was lucky to get away with those 3 wickets. his figure just a match before that was poor 6 ov 38 runs 0 wicket. his batting is almost nil. using any part time bowler will return same or better figure than chacha. we have to play 6 batsmen. my team

1.nafis
2.JO
3.aftab
4.tushar
5.bashar
6.ashraful
7.rafiq
8.rana
9.pilot
10.mashrafii
11.nazmul

this team got lot of batting depth as pilot will be coming in at 9. we dont need bowling depth, as our bowlers will get hit more or less. so what is the use of extra bowler then?

I think our best shot is to restrict the opposition to as low a total as possible if we are chasing or look to stifle the run flow of the oppostion if we end up setting a target. As a rule, I would bowl if I win the toss since the early morning conditions would make it harder for the batting side. When choosing the bowling attack I am looking for line and length, and bowlers who can take the pace off the ball.

So here is my line-up in batting order:

Javed Omar
Nafis Iqbal
Aftab Ahmed (Third Seamer)
Md. Ashraful
Habibul Bashar
Tushar Imran
Manzarul Islam Rana
Khaled Mashud
Mohammad Rafique
Nazmul Hossain
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza

Leaving out Sujon and including two spinners may be a gamble but I really think this is worth a try. SLAs, especially of Rafique and Rana's calibre may be hard to get way (at lease seems to be the case in the warm-ups against the counties). Aftab is a decent ODI seamer as well and does seem pretty hard to get away. Bashar should mover permanently to number 5 to lend some assurance to the middle order. His wicket is psychologically the most important for our team, and there is no use for him to come in early have a brief bash and then get out. Besides, Aftab seems like a natural number three to me; Technically very good, keeps the score board moving and seems to have the ability to bat well under pressure. In the context of the tour, he probably is also the most confident batsman in the team.

Dear Super moderator, we have a similar thread running on this matter.

We have never able to do good without Khaled Mahamud in ODI in the past. Khaled Mahamud had a big contribution in every ODI win. How people forget that. He is fighter and a essential player for every ODI untill he retires.

Tushar Imran is middle order batsman. He will probably get a big duck if we try to open him against strong English Pacer attack.

[cricketboy]

I agree with pompous about this team. But I think Sujon will play instead of Rana and will be very expensive.

[James90]

1. Javed
2. Nafis
3. Aftab
4. Bashar
5. Ashraful
6. Mashud
7. Mahmud
8. Rafique
9. Tapash
10. Nazmul
11. Mashrafe

It's a bit thin on batsmen but I don't think Tushar, Rajin or Shahriah Nafees have done anything to prove they should be there. If we are to have a chance then we need to bowl the other sides out. We can't rely on Aftab as a fifth bowler or we'll conceed 300 every game.

[FaltuRidwanBhai]

for the first match i would try chacha instead of tushar. then i would try tushar. after that i would try taposh. but i wont change rana. i want him in the team. incase nazmul doesnt do good i will change him with taposh.

Why do you want to play musical chair with the team? Nazmul may not get wickets in every match, may even get smashed by Gilchrist or Tresco, but that does not mean he won't do better in the next match. What is the gurrantee that Taposh will do better? It is now time for selectors to stick with the best possible selection unless there is a injury worry. Playing a player who can't perform in too many matches is bad, but changing players in every match is worse.

Forgot to mention, the team Pompous proposed is the team, I think, selectors should stick through out the series unless there is an injury worry.

I think the ODI team should be as bellow through the series. Only change could be made on No 9.
NO change unless somebody get hurt.

[thebest]

As our batsmen rarely perform I want to have batsman heavy team.For bowlers I want to have 3 pacers and 2 spineers. My pacers are Mash, Nazmul/Taposh, Aftab/Chacha spineers Rafiq and Rana. For the five batsman JO, Nafis Iqbal, Sumon, Aftab, Ash/Tushar. Pilot as a wicketkeeper. As Aftab is in the team as Batsman I think for bowlers it is a choice of 2 from the 3 of Naz/Chacha and Taposh. I would prefer Nazmul and Taposh though if you consider batting Chacha and Taposh is the better option. But I think Naz would compensate the batting by saving more run than Chacha. The choice between Ash and Tusher is straight forward. It is tushar. My logic is Ash makes run once in a blue moon. He has already scored against Worcs. So no chance of him scoring again. So the team according to batting order
1. JO
2. Nafis
3. Aftab/Rafiq
4. Tushar
5. Sumon
6. Pilot/Aftab
7.Rana/Pilot
8.Rafiq/Mash
9. Mash/Taposh
10. Taposh/Rana
11.Nazmul
