Imrul

though he's only scored 46 in 2 innings, he's looked quite solid. he might be able to become a good home track bully. can't really blame a batsman's technique for run outs.

i mean he and tamim both dominated vaas and prasad.

so imrul can't be as bad as we had previously thought. in fact, he seems to be quite classy.

In the first innings imrul looked quite shaky... in the second innings he only played 16 balls... and the first ball he faced was a wild flash outside the off stump. So i am not too impressed with his temperament yet. However, he showed a lot of class in some of his shots.

Hopefully we give him a chance. I hope he does well.

I'd rather have Naeem back in the team once he's fit. He hardly got any proper batting opportunity, and he's useful with ball as well. Junaed can go back to opening, as there's no difference between playing at #3 and opening the innings in our team.

stil long way to go.only played 2 test. but look good and confident.

Imrul looked rather compact hitting those difficult shots. He looked good in other matches also. In time, I think he will be ok. It seems he puts a high price on his wicket.

Tamim here is the cause of 3 wickets. He got Imrul out, threw his own wicket away, and left a jittery Junaid in the middle. Junaid is at the moment committing harakiri trying to be a Tamim....

Imrul looks better equip to handle short ball,than Junaid.But I am not sure his ability to handle quality spin bowlers

Unfortunately, i missed his batting. So really cant comment about him at this point.
May be the tri-angular series will give me the opportunity.

All my sympathy for him, for being run out today. But he definitely didn't look impressive at all. He was very tentative outside the off stump. He has problem in spin. He is still those one of typical new BD cricketers, his future is still uncertain IMO. Rakibul looked much better when he stepped in, but as the days are going, his weaknesses are getting exposed and needs time to mature. I would put kayes much lower than Rakibul at his stage.

imrul is decent

zia · #11 December 30, 2008, 12:56 PM

At least our openers are scoring at least 40 runs in the last two innings. That's an improvement!

sadi · #12 December 30, 2008, 03:26 PM

He was decent. Rakibul definitely looked more compact but Imrul was classy in few of his shots. So far so good but it is important to see which one of them or if both of them can learn on the job and keep improving.

our waiting for Ashraful successful innings is not far away

abz_786 · #14 December 30, 2008, 03:54 PM

Unfortunate for his today got run out by tamim hope he does well in the series

mijanur · #15 December 30, 2008, 03:58 PM

imrul inshallah will get a century next match

that's a good point and i hope this opening pair continue with this form during ODI series....
here is what I think about ODI: if we can have our opening pair contributing atleast 35-50 runs on each ODI, then JS and ASH carry the score till 70-80, then we can have rakib and sakib, carry the team till 150 and rest of the team can atleast push for 200-225 and that should be our first target....
