Rokibul hasan

[Shagor786]

Is he fit for the second match? He shud play instead of rajin who plays with negativity... He starts the slowness of runrate and ashraful paid for that in the first innings. 2 of 35 balls and lbw trying to defend.
Inshallah rokibul plays next test match..no more rajin saleh!

Would you please explain how Rajin's slowness of runrate is realted to Ashraful's first innings failure?

Ash was out playing irresponsible attacking shot, not defending. I would like also to point out to perhaps a very unpopular angle: Rajin played a very crucial first innings to steer us clear off danger. Without his efforts in taking the shine off the new ball, we would have been destroyed. He did exactly what was called for. Sorry, but I've got to give credit where it is due.

A very good question.

I'm sorry wiseshah. Didn't know that your busy 7-11 schedule made you miss all 5 days of our last test. We kicked the kiwis around for most of that one, just like we did it to the Aussies and the pakis beofre..

Seriously, in the context of Mirpur pitch and the next test, we have to stop thinking of Rajin's head automatically, if Rokibul comes back. Shahadat, despite his superb bowling in the 5th day, must also be considered.

After all, we are unable to take Ash off the team. If he gives up captaincy, he opens himself up for dropping - the only medicine that works to fix his batting.

Hi all,
How are you all doing?

I agree with Fazal and Wiaeshah and those who really understand test cricket. Rajin's effort in the first innings was supurb. To my knowledge, we need players like that in test 11. Now in a given day of a test match you can't expect 9 performing out of 11.

So lets accept the fact that some did well and some need to improve their game in the upcoming matches and tours.

Over all, Great try and I would like to see that every now and then from our boys.

Cheers.

Blame everybody but ashraful. This is a common strategy employed by the politicians!!!

hey Billah, thanks for your message. Actually i watched all 5 days and quiet happy with the performances. Most guys played very professionally. Even after losing the match, i am not feeling any sadness. It was a tough fight. what i was saying, rajin's innings and partnership with tamim was excellent, if they could have repeated the same performance, think about our total runs. we need rajin type of players in the test match for sure. for hard hitting we have junaed, mashrafe, tamim, ashraful, razzaq-----how many u need in a test match. So rajin's performance wasn't bad. it was not excellent but it was okay and timely. so nobody should complain.

[wiseshah]

if you have to complain, complain about enemy ul haq Moni, he is our national enemy now. I think ICL should take him to ruin some ICL team. In that case he will ruin Dhaka warrior

Hi bashie, welcome to BC forum. This is one of the coolest forum u will ever see in ur life. any way, what does bashie means?( is it flute? or bamboo- i/ bash )

[cricket_king]

Rakibul isn't even in the test squad is he? You can't just pick a player out of the blue.

[BD-BLAST]

I think everyone had a decent match except for a few. Those few would be Ashraful (as a batsman mainly),Junaeed(batting) and Shahadat Hussain(bowling).

As we all know Sakib, Rahim and Mashrafee were the stars. Top marks to them.

Overall I think the team is improving in the Test Arena, maybe not by much but there definitely is improvement. Usually we loose a match in four days and struggle to even make it the 5th day.

Hope the team learns from their mistakes and does better in the 2nd Test.

lol that's exactly what I was thinking.. he is not part of the test squad..

I think the forum opener needs to rethink and pick one of these guys : Rasel or Mahbubul.. unfortunately both of them are bowlers

Here is the test squad: Mohammad Ashraful (capt), Mashrafe Mortaza, Tamim Iqbal, Junaid Siddique, Rajin Saleh, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Abdur Razzak, Shahadat Hossain, Mehrab Hossain jnr, Naeem Islam, Syed Rasel, Mahbubul Alam

Though he is not in the test squad but he is staying with the team. Selectors were hoping he will be fine by the time of Mirpur test.

[Murad]

Even if Raqibul is fit, he should not play in this game.

He is not match fit. He has not played any games for last 2 months

He has to play in the on-going NCL to get match practice and get fit.

[Nadim]

he is not fit........so it will be same team for 2n test

[shabbir]

i think team should be unchange.rajin deserve one more chance.

[FagunerAgun]

If Raquibul is fit,,then there is no replacement for him...let him play instead of Rajin or even Ashraful..

[BANFAN]

So what's the playing 11? Is Rakibul playing or no?

Nat'l Cricket League
Rokibul set to return

Sports Reporter


Tigers batsman Rokibul Hasan will be back to business with the bat when the third round of the Ispahani Mirzapore Tea 10th National Cricket League kicks off today at three different venues.

The right-hander, who had fractured his right thumb during first one-day in Australia in September to be ruled out from that series and the home series against New Zealand, will play the four-dayer for Barisal against Sylhet at the Shaheed Chandu Stadium in Bogra.

It is unlikely to see the the Khulna-Chittagong match start on time at the Chittagong Divisional Stadium due to incessant rain but the organisers were hopeful about the other two venues.

Rajshahi take on Dhaka at the Rajshahi Divisional Stadium in the other third round game.

Rajshahi showed a strong batting display in the second round which helped them outplay Chittagong by an innings and 22 runs and move to the top of the table while Dhaka were indebted to left-arm spinner Elias Sunny, who turned the table from Sylhet to secure a six-wicket victory.

Elias Sunny returned with a match-haul of 13 wickets in that match, which included only the second hattrick in National Cricket League's history

Raqibul Hasan is one of the more inexperienced players in the Bangladesh squad for the U19 World Cup in Sri Lanka. He has played in just four first-class matches but already has one century to his name. Hasan, who likes to be known as Nirala, broke into the U19 team in the recent tri-nations series featuring England and Sri Lanka. He was very impressive in that tournament, scoring 249 runs, including an innings of 121 against Sri Lanka in only his third match at international level. He is a complete batsman who needs to work on improving his strike rate in order to be a major force in the future of Bangladeshi ODI cricket.

The above profile is from Cricinfo. After his triple the only notable innings he played was 89 against India. How do you rate him in his current performance context?


Following is his ODI career:

Cricinfo mentions, Raqibul will be a handy addition to Bangladesh's batting line-up, which has often failed to deliver in the recent past. A steady accumulator of runs, Raqibul has made 412 runs at 29.42 in 14 innings since his debut in the home ODIs against South Africa.

I am yet to see an innings from him which can result in a valuable contribution towards win and a real ground work when ball to run ratio does not soak up the potential of reaching the target.
