I hope our batsmen studied John Nyumbu well. He is the X factor in Zimbabwe team who can turn the match around for them (a la Mohammad Rafique for them).

Yes he's highly rated on the Zim forum. Zim have suddenly unearthed a decent spin corps with Nyumbu, Mushangwe, and Wellington. Williams has also improved a lot and could be on the way to becoming a poor man's Shakib. If they get Cremer back they will be set.

But for some reason I don't fear their bowling attack. Even in the last series in ZIM, we threw almost all our wickets away plus a few the umpires stole but most our wickets were well earned. 2011 they did outplay us well and truly. Granted they have a very disciplined attack, but nothing that smart batting can't dominate.

That being said, I kind of expect us to collapse at least once in 6 innings...but I feel at home we can recover. Had this series been in ZIM, on current form, we'd most likely lose 2-1 or draw 1-1 at best.

Bring on the TigerWash!

A choice by default

Quote:

Shahadat, according to chief selector Faruque Ahmed's official statement, was picked ahead of Robiul Islam as the player's fitness levels had 'improved' in the last two years. While Faruque's statement may be true, Shahadat has been working hard on a pace bowler's fitness programme in the BCB's academy for the last year, the reality though is a tad cruel.

“It's a sad situation,” admitted Faruque. “Who else do we take? We are not confident about the other bowlers in the domestic circuit. And the ones that have impressed are battling injuries. We are looking at Taskin Ahmed for the future. Abul is another bowler who remains uncertain because of his injuries.”

Can't disagree. I've given up on Shahadat, but he's still the only test class pacer (apart from healthy Masri) we've produced. Robiul should have still made the squad, but then again he only took 1 wicket in the tour game.

My XI that I would pick:

Tamim
Shamsur
Hom
Momin
Shakib
Mushfiq
Riyad
Shafiul
Shahadat
Taijul
Jubair

7 batters, 2 SLAs, an offie, and a leggie. Saqlain can come in for whichever spinner fails to impress as its a long series.

Eshen · #11 October 22, 2014, 03:33 PM

Anamul is staying behind as the unofficial backup for Mushfiq, incase Mushfiq picks up any injury on the eve of the first Test. He will join the rest of the BD-A team in Kolkata on the evening of 25th.

http://www.prothom-alo.com/sports/ar...A6%A3%E0%A7%87

I still think it would have been idea of he kept wicket in Test and Mushfiq focused on batting.

I also think that's the most likely XI to be picked. However, I highly doubt Hom will bat as high as #3. He stayed not out 75 on the warm up match, however he was dropped twice on 22 and 63. Also, Zimbabwe did not play their three front line bowlers (Panyangara, Chatar, Nyumbu) in the warm up, so this 75 really doesn't hold lots of weight.

Then again, Shuvo will partner Tamim with similar performance.

It's frustrating to see the management not using this series to groom one or two more top order batsmen.

That's the playing XI - my guess is too. If Shahadat does well, we will dominate the game.

Good luck Tigers

^^ The team looks like a batsman short. How about Marshall istead of Shafiul? I would also prefer Al Amin instead of Shafiul.

Shafiul has a Test fifty, Marshall has none. In current form, Shafiul is a better choice as a batsman than Marshall is

Gowza · #19 October 22, 2014, 10:04 PM

7 batsmen should be enough.

Gowza · #20 October 22, 2014, 10:16 PM

If hom bats 3 it will show that there is confusion and no set vision for the team, he batted at 8 and played as a bowling all rounder in his last test not long ago so pushing him to 3 is a big jump and he'd be changing roles to more of a specialist batsman.

Gowza · #21 October 22, 2014, 10:23 PM

Should bat mushy at 3 and bat hom at 5 or 6, riyad generally does better down the order, and I think batting from 7-9 is too low for hom and I think he'd do his best work around the #5 spot. Shakib is really good at 6, mominul is great at 4, mushy is the most suited to 3 plus is in decent form, riyad prefers and performs batting down the order.

Al Amin might play depending how soon ICC disclose the decision of his bowling test...

cricketboy · #23 October 22, 2014, 11:10 PM

Anamul should stay and bat at no 3. Hom plays at no 8 with Jubair not debuting.

Won't be announced for 2 weeks. Hope Al Amin doesn't play unless he's cleared. Still have a test match to go by that time!

Jadukor · #25 October 23, 2014, 05:31 AM

Shahadat into the test team.
