Taijul - the new hero!

[kalpurush]

Taijul seems going to be our new sensation ... can he be a world class spinner?
Does BCB has a plan to grow him further?

Or, he might become another Gazi or Sunny, who gets almost no support from BCB & Co.?

[Moh899]

lol please...leftie crafty aint nothing special.

[Rana Melb]

Too early to predict anything. Is he a good Turner of a cricket ball?

[jeesh]

A couple of nice articles

Selectors think he is more different than other SLA's-in the sense he gives the ball more air. Newage article he states he tries to focus on the right spot.

Taijul must take a lesson from all the SLA's-Enamul, Arafat, Elias. A good SLA must be able to strike the right balance between attacking and defensive bowling. Shakib for instance was at his best when he was willing to give air, and attack. But at the same time he always bowled in the right areas, never gave anything loose. Rafique was another example. Plenty of loop and accuracy. And these two also were thinking bowlers. Cant say the same about other SLA's. Even Sohag Gazi seems to have gone astray.

If he can loop of and keep it tight that's all we can ask for at this stage..just no freebies every over..razzak, sunny, enam and most of the others are prone to going for runs after all these years and lack venom. He has to try and learn the importance of maidens..

[BD_TigerZ]

And most of the batsmen got out trying to force the issue on a flat batting track as taijul stated..not surprised..Taijul, Taskin, Shakib, Gazi with saqlain guidance and a fit Robiul wouldn't be a bad attack

[Gowza]

if he is accurate and gives air then it's a very good asset for him to have, but turn is also a great weapon as so is it to have variations (arm ball, turning it the other way etc). can't be any worse than razzak....

Lol. Thats the thing. Watching IPL there are so many leg spinners in India. We could do with just one!

[Moh899]

That's what's key about Rafique and Shakib. They have a plan B if something doesn't work.

Having so many SLAs could've been a good thing if they were actually good but the problem is they aren't very good. Most of them just look to contain rather than attack. Then they go play at the international level and get smashed because they even lack discipline.

In the end it's the reason after all these years, Shakib is the only spinner since Rafique retired to have success at the Test level. I haven't lost hope on Gazi yet and hoping he comes back strong as I still believe he has what it takes to be successful at this level but I'm hoping Taijul can be closer to Shakib than the likes of Elias, Enamul and Razzak

[One World]

Not many SLA's get smashed in International level as per my humble observation. It was always the other bowlers be it an offie, a part-timer, the pacer who would succumb the flood of runs to deliver worse as the game progresses.

In most cases the rare wickets we might get comes from the spinner, more appropriately the SLA in the team.

[BengaliPagol]

Gazi is a plodder. No use comparing him to Taijul

[jeesh]

Gazi needs spoon feeding. He was doing better with Saqlain around. Someone needs to tell him what he needs to do.

Fortunately if we do get Chandika Hatursingha as our coach, he ll definitely be able to work with our spinners. He has been grooming Australian spinners

Taijul is definitely special. Maybe the batsmen got out playing too many shots, but then again others bowlers could not take advantage of it really, right? So I think Taijul is better than the most, at least at our First Class level. What will happen at the international level time will tell, but so far it seems he might perform better than some of the regulars..

[Eshen]

As I said in another thread, Imrul taking Taijul to cleaners shows he still have a lot to learn. He has to develop tricks to get batsmen out when they come after him, especially when they jump down the crease to attack him. I am assuming he has not yet developed a good arm ball.

Put this Taijul guy against India tour of BD

That will probably be the hardest opponent for a spinner to debut in. I will let him develop in the A team tour and if he does well he can come into the senior side later this year.

[jeesh]

Thats true. One bad tour can dent his confidence.

[simon]

can Taijul save us from Abdur Razzaq? or the clueless Gazi ?

[BD_TigerZ]

He seems a good option in t20s and test..quiet strange..in Odis I'd go with Arafat lala has passed his twilight years ..falls in the chacha category now.
