Your XI for second test

[BD-Shardul]

So guys here is another one of everyone's favorite 'your XI' thread. I patiently waited to see how Imrul, Zunaed and Afa perform in the second innings, and now that is over, here is Shardul's XI for the second test:

Shardul's XI

Tamim Iqbal Khan
Zunaed Siddiqi (He may not have the technique, but has got the temperament/grit to partner TI)
Rokibul Hasan (whatever he done, forget it. Jaan bachano foroz-BB)
Johurul Islam (He deserves a chance)
Mahmudullah Riyad
Mushfiqur Rahim
Nayeem Islam
Shakib Al Hasan (Yes, I don't care that he scored a century in NZ. The player who dare to sweep against Swann despite being weak against that bowler instead of seeing the bowler off, deserve to bat at 8)
Saklain Sajib (Trump Card)
Enamul Haque Jnr (Statistics is against him, but included him based on HOPE)
Safiul Islam (One pacer is suffice, why take two pacer when you use them for 5-6 overs)


PS. Dumped players

Shahadat: 5 wicket in one test, no wicket in the the following 5 tests.
Razzaq: Just not good enough for tests.
Imrul: Enough is enough. 14 tests and you cannot churn out a 50. Play NCL alongside Tushar and Faisal.
Afa: High time to find an alternative career.

[Rabz]

Shardul my friend, atleast wait till this test is over.
(Well, its all but over anyways )

Regarding your team, trust me, Saqlain is nothing special, from what i've seen few minutes of him during the NCL final. Using him as a triump card would not be a wise idea).

Thats Shahadat for you. When he's on song, he is on song. Other days are pretty ordinary. But i'd still want him in my test team. Can't go with one pacer. Rubel/Shafiul, i dont care. Either is fine.

I'd rather give Jahirul a chance before Rakibul.
The one who jumps the board should not be brought back so easily.
Oh no! does that mean i have to play Aftab??

Then get Rakibul in.
Who cares.
They are all morons.

Btw, can i get Ash back ??
I miss him already.

[WarWolf]

Good post Rabz bhai. Gotta agree with you except Saqlin Sajib as I have never seen him in action?

I don't miss Ash. He needs to perform for quite a number of matches before coming back.

[offstump]

i gave one earlier.....................

tamim
jahurul
junaid
aftab
riadh
shakib
mushfiq
naeem
enamul
rubel
shafiul

[chol_bd123]

Saklain Sajib (Trump Card)

is he really good. SHuvo was also hyped up but he seems like an ordinary spinner to me.

[Imtiazk]

I would drop Imrul for complete absence of any technique against short-pitch bowling. The "cat on a hot tin roof" routine will go on as long as he is there.

However, I would not bring in Jahirul or anyone else before seeing them in less strenuous situation like ODI's.

Shahadat has completely lost it. No amount of groaning will hide his 75 mph puff-balls. I don't know what has happened to him. This is Rasel's pace except Rasel is a much better bowler.

So, in short, same team except Shafiul comes in for Shahadat.

Unless Dhiman comes in and Mushy bats at No.3 with Junaid opening. That would be my ideal team at the moment.

[samlove01]

its good 2 c both the batsman played very well hope they play well 2marw

[samlove01]

for 2nd test i would prefer shaiful in place of shahdath..

shaiful has the good pace n even he can swung the ball in both ways..

[samlove01]

1.tamim
2.junaid
3.imrul
4.jahurul islam
5.shakib
6.mahudullah
7.mushy
8.nayeem
9.enamul
10.shaiful
11.rubel/nazmul

[WarWolf]

My eleven is ...

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Jahurul Islam
3. Zunaed Siddique
4. Mahmudullah
5. Mushfiqur Rahim
6. Shakib Al Hasan
7. Naeem Islam
8. (Some Better Wicket Keeper)
9. Enamul Haque
10. Rubel Hossain
11. Shafiul Islam

I am not sure who the keeper will be. But I am sure there is someone who is a better keeper than him.

[Shehwar]

We need a keeper! PLEASE! ANYONE but Mushy!! Let him play just as a batsman at number 4.

[magic boy]

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Zunaed Siddique
3. Raqibul Hasan
4. Mahmudullah Riyad
5. Mushfiqur Rahim
6. Shakib Al Hasan
7. Naeem Islam
8. Dollar Mahmud
9. Enamul Haque
10. Rubel Hossain
11. Shafiul Islam

[Ananna]

No way Raqibul shall be called for 2nd test. Infact he should be banned for atleast 2 years for his selfish behavior.
Imrul is scared as hell. Yesterday his innings was kind of comical. He should be dropped. But the question is who will replace him. Juhural cant replace him since he is not a specialist opener and it wont be wise to send him in that position on debut. The other option is Junaed. If he is sent as opener who will come at No. 3? Perhaps Juhurul? Not sure about this move either.
I will not drop Aftab yet. He should be given another chance.
Some members mentioned about Sajib. I only watched him in a Abahani Mohammedan game and I didnt find him anything special. Another typical Left arm spinner. I would replace rajjak with Enamul. My last change is to replace Rubel with Shafiul. Rubel is too erratic.

On another note, the only players who have test match mentatily in this team are: Mushy the great, Naem and Junaed. Rests are a bunch of crazy guys.

[mishu]

you forgot Tamim, its time to find new players for the top order and one has to be wicket keeper, imrul is good partner for tamim in odi,, its aftab and junaed who has to go. our pacers also has been useless.

আমার আশরাফুলের জন্য কেন জানি বড় মায়া হয়। কেন যে ছেলেটা রান করতে পারেনা! সে যখন ভাল খেলে তখন আর কেউ তার মত সুন্দর ব্যাটিং করতে পারেনা। কি অনিন্দ্য সুন্দর, প্রশান্তিময় ব্যাটিং! আহ! মনে হয় কত সহজ এই ক্রিকেট খেলা।

আমাদের কপালটাই খারাপ।

i also think saqlain is not good enough after watching NCL final. i think shuvo is way better than him in longer version

[Purna]

My XI for the second test-------

1. Tamim Iqbal Khan
2. Junaed Siddique (His understandining with Tamim is very good, so I guess he will make an excellent partner for Tamim and help to stretch the partnership)
3. Shakib-Al-Hasan (I know that he is not playing well, but I have a feeling that he is going to present us with a wonderful performance in the second test)
4. Mahmudullah Riyad
5. Mushfiqur Rahim
6. Faisal Hossain (I think he should be called in)
7. Naeem Islam
8. Dollar Mahmud (He plays really well, especially in case of bowling, I can't understand why he is not in the team)
9. Abdur Razzak
10. Shahadat Hossain (According to me he is the best pacer in the BD team after Mashrafee)
11. Nazmul Hossain (Shafiul shouldn't get any chance, he is still in the team just because of his speed)

[aklemalp]

shuvo and farhad hossain,how much will i have to pay to get them in the team(test)

[wiseshah]

my line up

tamim
juhurul
junaed
mushfiq
mahmudullah
naeem
shakib
dhiman (wkt)/S shuvo
shahadat
shafiul
enam jr

at this moment we dont have bettter keeper than dhiman. if mushy plays asa wkt keeper, i want shuvo as a bowler, he is the best in longer format--his stats says that. its sad, our selectors dont watch any domestic or a team performances, otherwise he wud get debut in test instead of ODI plus he is handy batsman

[kiriket]

দাদারা,
আমি একটা সেরকম দল করতে চাই দেখি কেও আমাকে হারাতে পারেন কিনা। শর্ত হলো, ২০০৯ এর পর অন্তত ১টা ম্যাচ ১৪ জনের দলে ছিলো এমন প্লেয়ার নিতে হবে।
২য় শর্ত হলো যেমন খুশী দল করা যাবে না, বোলার কিপার ঠিক মতো থাকতে হবে দলে।
দেখি কার দল কতো ফাউল হতে পারে।

1. Imrul Kayes
2. S Nafees
3. Aftab Ahmed
4. Junayed Siddiqi
5. M Ashraful
6. Mehrab Jr
7. Mushfiqur Rahim (bad luck for me!)
8. Razzak
9. Nazmul
10. Shahadat
11. Enam Jr

No offence but I think that even though Mushfiqur drops many catches, misses about a thousand opportunities but still he is better than any other wicketkeeper who has come to the BD team.

I agree with you. I guess Farhad also deserves to be in the national team; but not very sure about Shuvo....he has performed well in the National League, but he couldn't know anything much for the national side.

Well said, same here. After all, you can't play one pace bowler in Dhaka. Ash will be missed, but for own good should take a break and get back the form.

[aklemalp]

come on purna,the man(shuvo)just played two odi's

Agree with you Rabz bhai.

I've Saqlain also and seemd to me nothing extraordinary. I'm also not a big lover of Rakibul after showing his commitment to the team. A big NO.

I think Imrul should given more chance as we don't have any more alternative in hand. I also hate those 'bring back SN' thread'. A big NO too.

Even though we dont' want to see Aftab but I'm afraid his 26 might be enough to convince the TM to be selected for 2nd Test. Yes that proves again our weak mentality. Rather it could have been a better chance for Jahirul to play on the same ground he had two good innings just a week ago.

Shakib looked a bit over confident while starting his innings. He should be more calm and composed in the beginning of his innings. His last dismisal was a shocking decision by the umpire. That was pure bad luck.

And yes, I'm missing Ash.

[Catskills]

We need immediate 4 replacement.
No Aftab and Imrul please.. didn't we have enough of faith already?
No Razzak and Enamul Jr. please. Need better spinners. They are no good. We have better players than Aftab, Imrul, Razzaq and Enamul Jr.

[bdtiger]

For 2nd test I will prefer same batting lineup. If we have to make a change then Zahurul in #3 and drop Imrul. Will keep Aftab although he is a moronic player. Need to change Shahadat with Shafiul and Razzaq with Enamul.

I don't know why are you talking abt Faisal/ Farhad/ Shuvo/ Saqlan in this test. You were asked to give names for 2nd tests not for the next Europe tour!!
