Is Tamim Fake or Real

[Nawreen93]

Do you think Tamim is in the squad because of his capability (yes) or only because Akram Khan is a selector (No)?? Really, think deeply about it.

[zainab]

Tamim performed very well in NZ, he was the leading batsman. That is not fake.
He is out of form because of his injury.

I dont think his uncle has anything to do with his selection. he is still a good opening bat but should sit out the next test match and get in form for the ODIs

[Kabir]

Is Nawreen's pic in her avatar fake or real?

Duh. What a question!!!

Ufff. Bashar na run kore puro 1 ta bosor par kore disse; tate kisu hochche na. Ar NZ series e 3 inning e 2 ta fifty kora ebong bangladesh er pokhkhe highest run scorer er pichone na lagle ki chole na?

[FHossain]

obviously cos of his uncle. typical corrupt sycstem in BD cricket. think about it, yes he has talent but so do many other players his age. y is he been playin since 17 and not the others! obvious really. If akram khan was not selector then tamim would have to wait like rest of u-19 players and instead would be in malaysia u19 cup, not test!!!!!!!

lolz, tamim was picked up before akram khan was the selector. tamim'm only problem is that he can't face yorker ball or swing ball that comes close to the stamps

[Sovik]

he just had a bad game. he will bounce back

[Rifat]

he just had a bad game. he will bounce back

INSHALLAH :)

Damn true...any latest news of Bashar..I mean did he announce retirement:-D

[Shobha]

the boy needs some rest.

[Gowza]

tamim so far looks the real deal, i mean someone like gazi salahuddin with a better record over a longer period of time in FC cricket could be picked ahead of him (same with junaid) but tamim has done well in the small amount of FC matches he's played, he hasn't done much wrong. the question is whether he can keep it up, but while both he and junaid are playing well there's no point in dropping them, i have hope that junaid and tamim can become somewhat similar to the langer/hayden partnership. maybe not quite to the same standard, but they're both young and talented and could become one of the best opening pair in world cricket in the future.

[U-17, 1999]

I think Tamim has no right to play Test Match

[darito90]

Don't bash him after one test. He was the star batsman in NZ. He's definitely real and will lead Bangladesh to glory in the future!

[U-17, 1999]

Don't bash him after one test. He was the star batsman in NZ. He's definitely real and will lead Bangladesh to glory in the future!

i dont believe this will happen so easily

[DJ Sahastra]

I think this Tamim is either a hologram or a clone - the real Tamim was kidnapped by aliens from Mars and i currently being dissected in their lab as an earthly specimen.

[MysoreHuli]

Tamim's just s flash in the pan..

[lamisa]

look tamim is an excellent player.he displayed very good batting skills in nz.but on the other hand,look we have some really good young players too.4get about the test team,y r they even not in the national team?oh darn,i should have voted for not sure!

[Antora]

OMG!!!! dont bash Tamim!! what did he do wrong? He just hasnt fully recovered yet!
He should have been rested for this test match. i hope he pays well in his home ground (2nd test).

But then again it is true that he will most probably be in the squad when he's out of form because his uncle is the selector.

but for now... NO MORE BASHING TAMIM!!! HE is a talented player ! he was star batsmen in NZ ..and he can be star again! just wait for the 2nd test and ODI's!

[Shaan]

Tamim is no fake everybody is aware of that, but the poll is bit confusing question wise. Don't see the fact what makes you to brought up such a poll??? This is not the time yet to bring up the question of nepotism. He proved his capability in the recent NZ tour. Tamim will be fine on the second test.

[Orpheus]

I thought nawreen and antora are the same person, now i am confused. I need to think very deeply now... who is the fake one?

[WarWolf]

Hmmmm. Lemme ask you the question clearly. What is the original intended question? :umm:. The possibilities are....


Is Tamim a real human being or fake (Jinn in the camouflage of human)?
Is Tamim a real man or fake (a woman camouflaged into men's outfit)?
Is Tamim a real left handy or fake (originally right handed; camouflaged to be a left-handed player)?
Is Tamim a real brother of Nafis Iqbal or fake?
Is Tamim a real chittagonian or fake?

[Antora]

LOL!! ok we all know he's chittagonian..but just out of curiousity.. isnt his family from some where in india? or am i mistaking him with some other player? :-|

I agree. He plays more consistently and better than many of his elders. He's young and we should give him a break.

[Yameen]

what a stupid thread

[BANFAN]

His style of batting is completely unsuitable for test at the moment. If he can adjust his game is ok, but he needs a lot of time for that. He should make way for an additional bowler in the side

[abu2abu]

This is silly. Tamim is clearly a talented player, no other BD palyer has had such a fantastic start to his test career. In ODIs he's second only to ash. I recall nasser hussain enthusing about him in the world cup. High praise indeed...

If it really was just nepotism (uncle akram being selector and all) why is Nafees Iqbal in the team too?

[WarWolf]

Those who think he is not suitable for test, i would request them to take a look at the following stats.

If you look at the stats, you will find that he is much better in longer version. He is one of the few batsmen batsmen in Bangladesh who has played more than 15 first class matches and maintaining 40+ average. Also so far his test career is not bad. So I really failed to understand why some people started shouting at him?

[tiger_army]

hey Can you plz fix your poll question.....its very confusing and the confusion led me to tick on no option which latr on find out was a wrong option for me. i think other ppl who voted for no did the same mistake like me.
Tamim is one of the best batsman in the current squad he deserve his position. if thr is Nafees Iqbal in da squad then u cud hav ask the ques.....

[Alien]

Tamim performed very well in NZ, he was the leading batsman. That is not fake.
He is out of form because of his injury.

I dont think his uncle has anything to do with his selection. he is still a good opening bat but should sit out the next test match and get in form for the ODIs

Jeez, since when did he become his uncle? :o:oMust have been in different planet.

[Alien]

lolz, tamim was picked up before akram khan was the selector. tamim'm only problem is that he can't face yorker ball or swing ball that comes close to the stamps

Thats no good when you are a opening batsman and facing a brand new ball. It will swing whether he likes it or not. A decent batsman won't have these obvious weakness and what will stop Ntini from bowling in-swinger or yorkers?

No wonder he doesn't last long.

INSHA ALLAH

[Sohel]

I had serious thoughts about even qualifying a thread as ajaira as this one, but my compulsions are making me do otherwise. Also, khub-i cheitta achhi!

Tamim Iqbal Khan, in terms of just pure hand-eye coordination, is perhaps the most talented batsman we've discovered to date.

And his ability to learn quickly, a HUGE issue plaguing most of our other batters, was nothing short of amazing when we saw him start playing compact, orthodox cricket in the NCL 2007 after that long and ugly run of crackhead batting we know too well. Coach Siddons has faith in him and he gave us a good glimpse of what he can do in New Zealand. IMHO he and Zunaed will be the first two Bangladeshi basmen to average close to 50 during their peak years from the age of 27 until their mid 30s Inshallah.

Why? Because they have better COMBINATION of talent, temperament and the ability to learn quickly and apply themselves in the middle THAN ANY OTHER BANGLADESHI BATSMAN, PAST AND PRESENT!

Like his partner BiZu, he's here because he belongs, period.

[Nawreen93]

OMG!!!! dont bash Tamim!! what did he do wrong? He just hasnt fully recovered yet!
He should have been rested for this test match. i hope he pays well in his home ground (2nd test).

But then again it is true that he will most probably be in the squad when he's out of form because his uncle is the selector.

but for now... NO MORE BASHING TAMIM!!! HE is a talented player ! he was star batsmen in NZ ..and he can be star again! just wait for the 2nd test and ODI's!

i didn't really try 2 bash him or anything.personally, i think he's THE REAL DEAL.he's just not well right now.but i noticed in a lot of the threads that ppl think he's only on the team cuz of akram khan.and i just wanted 2 know exactly how many ppl think that.that's about it.

[sipon]

this guy is crazy you man look tamim selected before akram khan become selectors . so their is no connection with akram khan.he was the player who has highly average than any player when he plays national leage first time . than he selcted to play for bangladesh . because of him we just go through worldcup supereight . only one succesful player in newzland tour . one match he didnt do well thats why you blaming him . thats the why our cricket never gonna improve . learn more about cricket than jazz the player.

[rashed_va]

Tamim is a great player, but like the rest he is inconsistent. I fear that because he is kept away from academic lessons, his brain will, if it hasn't already, detoriate like that of Bashar and even Ashraful. I am sad to see a 19 yr old employed full time in cricket and not geting any formal education. These kids shouldn't be allowed in national team until they attend universities and perhaps play in national league for some time.

[bujhee kom]

tamim was destined to bat and field!

Tamim is 100% fake i do agree wid you he is NOT upto the stantard espesialy game with SA

[Kamnew]

I don't think BD has many options

[djnaved]

if he scores a hundred, then all of the bc members are going to say he is real
" " " " 0-10 runs, " " " " " " " " " " " " fake

[Gowza]

he's real just not quite ready yet....he's definitely talented, whether he'll go the route of the normal BD player and fade out or whether he'll rise above the rest is something we're going to have to wait and see.
