Your Playing XI in the Australia Series

[Eshen]

Please no Mashrafe. The drama about his fitness is going on for too long. Let him first prove his match fitness in some domestic matches (if he is still adamant about not going through the surgery) before considering him for the national team.

Don't want to see Riyad back in #7 either, he simply doesn't fit there. Let Kapali play the full series - to see whether the hype about him has any substance behind it.

Same for Rock and Mushfiq - let both play the full series to see whether they deserve any place in the squad. Hom should wait till the Zimbabwe series for his debut.

So, my playing XI would be -

Tamim
Imrul
SN
Rock
Shak
Mushfiq
Kapali
Shafiul
Raz
Shuvo
Rubel

[Equinox]

Tamim Iqbal
Imrul Kayes
Shahriar Nafees
Mushfiqur Rahim+
Shakib Al Hasan
Shubhagoto Hom
Alok Kapali
Mashrafe Mortaza
MS Shubho
Shafiul Islam
Abdur Razzak

[AsifTheManRahman]

We're a pacer short. Not sure if Mashrafe should be in the XI straightaway. Shouldn't have left Nazmul out. My batting order for the first ODI:

1. Taimma
2. Imruilla
3. Mofees
4. Mushfiqqa
5. Shakibbe
6. Aloikka
7. Riyad
8. Hujur sir
9. Shophee
10. Razzak mamu
11. Rubella

[rinathq]

Well if Mash is fit, he should play. When practice starts at 29th, he will have a lot of time to regain his form. If he is not, than he shouldnt play. Alok is a must in and Shuvogoto should not be included this early. Considering this is a low pitch and Aussies are weak against them, i would go with a stronger spin XI. If Mash is back, than our batting is somewhat stretched. And is it just me or everytime Shakib comes into bat, its at the middle of a top order collapse? or a test going on and we need to chase big total? I feel like we should let him bet at no.3. After one wicket falls, i feel like Shakib would have the batting powerplay to hit out, which he prefers doing and if Tamim is at crease, they have good chemistry to take the game farther. Also Shakib always gets out against spin. So why not let him bat against pacers? If u look at India, they bring out Shewag and Tendulkar in opening following by Gambhir. these 3 are their top batsmen and they play next to each other. Bringing Shakib at the middle of a collpase doesnt help as he cant always play well under pressure. my line up,

Tamim
Imrul
Shakib
Roqibul
Nafees
Mushfiq (reluctantly)
Mahmudullah
Alok Kapali
Mashrafe/ Rubel/ Shuvo
Razzaq
Shafiul/ Rubel

[rinathq]

11. Rubella

love ur squad! but that day wont come anytime soon when Roqibul is lift out :(

[Eshen]

.... i feel like Shakib would have the batting powerplay to hit out, which he prefers doing ....
Actually, Shakib gets out almost always as soon as the powerplay starts!

[kalpurush]

Here is the squad for the first ODI to beat the >>> Aussies

1. Chittagangia Dashing Hero
2. Vhimrul Jan
3. Bhaber Badhsha Shareer
4. Kotha-shilpi Rahim
5. Nobagoto Hom
6. The One and Only Ice Man
7. Aloukik Kopallia
8. Riyad, the Oloshkumer
9. Chikna Raja Shafiul
10. Nayok Raj Razzak
11. RBX

[babubangla]

Well, it is easy to type the names of the players who should sit out.

Raquibul
Shuvo
Rubel

We got 3 ODIs to play. Whether Mashrafee plays or Nazmul comes back in as replacement, we should rorate the pacers in those 3 ODIs. So Shafiul-Mashrafee, Mashrafee-Rubel and Shafiul-Rubel should be the different pair for different ODIs.

I will love to see Shuvagoto in action. So Raquibul has to sit out. He is not performing well anyways. Due to better batting abilities, Mashmudullah and Alok come ahead of Shuvo as the 5th bowler-all-rounder.

However, I hate to all 3 of our best fielders (Raquibul, Naeem and Shuvo: Rapid Action Battalion-RAB of BD Fielding as per Coach Fountain) out at the same time. So to strengthen the fielding side, all players need to pee a lot during the game so that we can steal the services of Rakibul and Shuvo.

[al-Sagar]

tamim
imrul
SN
Mahmudullah
Shakib
Kapali
Mushfiq
Mashrafe/shuvo
Shafiul
Razzak
Rubel

if SN fails, Shuvagoto in.

if mahmudullah fails Raqibul in

if kapali fails either rock or hom in slight shift in batting order

[al-Sagar]

Please no Mashrafe. The drama about his fitness is going on for too long. Let him first prove his match fitness in some domestic matches (if he is still adamant about not going through the surgery) before considering him for the national team.

mashrafe declared himself fit for the Abahani-Mohammedan match. he gave reference of fitness coach. mashrafe fans shouted he was totally fit when he concede 5+ runs in the match were target for opponents was just about 4+.

Reporters and Journalists have written thousands or reports and articles about Mash should have been in.

any mash was not in the team there was always chance he could be in if anyone was injured. So it was Mash's responsibility to keep himself good shape.

and also he should have known that the AUS sereies was coming. he should lots of determination to prove himself fit in the Abahoni-mohammedan match so he should have continued his determination to prove his fitness in this series. or he does not get the same inspiration. he felt WC was important, AUS series is not. so he lost his hunger to prove fitness when WC was over. thats not acceptable for a Professiaonal sportsman who is also a contender to captain the team.

NOW IF MASH FINALLY DECLARES HE IS SHORT of FITNESS, should we understand that all those tears after dropped from WC was fake ??? all the reports suggesting his fitness was Fake ???? should we understand Mash knew he was unfit but still he created controversy in the team, in the media, in the mind of the fans.

Mr. Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (Koushik) we want answers. We want to see You Fit in the AUS series as u declared yourself fit long ago.

ANWAY TWO GAMES between BD A and BD national team were supposed to be played. i will try to confirm dates soon. these games should be a chance to improve his fitness.

[shakibrulz]

Tamim
Imrul
Mahmudullah
Shuvagoto/Nafees
Shakib*
Kapali
Rahim+
Mashrafe
Shafiul/Shuvo
Razzak
Rubel

[Sohel]

Batting order because Koushik is not 100% fit from what I hear:

1. Tamim
2. Shagor
3. Abir
4. Faisal (C)
5. Mushfiq/Alok ... either Bijauy or Dhiman would've been better instead of Mushfiq. With Dhiman as WK, I'd have moved Shubhagauto up at #6 and put Dhiman at #7 with Alok at #5.
6. Alok/Mushfiq
7. Shubhagauto
8. Riyad (more for his bowling) ... Rumman would've been better here
9. Shuhash
10. Rex/Shubho
11. Rubel

12th man: Nauyon for his fielding.

[Murad]

1. Tamim
2. Imrul
3. Nafees
4. Shakib
5. Mushy(wk)
6. Riyad
7. Alok
8. Mash
9. Shafiul
10. Razzak
11. Rubel

Hom can make his debut in the last game.

3 pacers and 3 spinners. Shakib should bat at 4. Raqibul 12th man.

My dear Shubho - could you please use use the more commonly known names pf ur cricketers? I always have to go back to my trusty mapping table every time. :)

I will see you team and raise you thus:


Imrul (yes, he to face first)
Tamim (Hopefully his paunch is going to be worked on)
Shakib (He can be anywhere)
Shahriar Nafees (not #3, still rusty and I am not too sanguine about his fishing expeditions still. Give him an extended run and then maybe swap)
Mushfique
Alok (not at #5 for the sole reason is that this is his comeback role and let us not throw him to the wolves as of yet. Give him an extended run and then perhaps swap with #5)
Shubhagoto
Riyad
Razzak
Shafiul
Rubel

[Sohel]

I will dear Z. I do this so that our beloved NRB Anglophiles get to know the real nicknames of our guys and not stuff like Masri and Shak :)

Shubhagauto is a real batsman capable of batting at 3 or 4 after a couple of years if he performs his way up. Playing him below 7 isn't a good idea IMHO.

I am sure Rex wasn't a nickname his mom gave him. :)

Ugh... I meant to have ShubhagaUto ahead of Riyad. Will amend..

The problem is that we have too many early order players and very few for the just as crucial 5-7 slots.

[Sohel]

Point taken but you know what I mean :lol:

The day I suggest "Decans" as a national team player, let alone as Captain, is the day you ought to shoot me Miju because that would mean that I've sold my soul to the Devil.

[Eshen]

^^ So, who is Faisal?!

Is not Shakib's nick name is Moyna? At least that's what some BKSP players named him.

[Avik]

Tamim
Kayes
Shahriar Nafees
Mahmudullah
Shakib
Mushfiq
Kapali
Razzak
Shafiul
Rubel
Mashrafe

that shud be good enough. we could play shuvo instead of 3 pacers. aussies arent the best side against spin, and there arent too many left handers in their middle order. so we can play 3 left arm spinners, plus mahmudullah and kapali.

[Sohel]

^^ So, who is Faisal?!

Is not Shakib's nick name is Moyna? At least that's what some BKSP players named him.

Mauyna is the BKSP nick. His parents and the other Maguraites call him Faisal. Nirala for example the DPL name for Rokibul, his parents and the other Jamalpurians call him Nauyon.

[Night_wolf]

atm shuvo is ahead from razzak on the pole!:wow:

[rinathq]

Ok guys about mash,
He said he doesn't know how fit he is and how much he have been on form. Obviously his wife was pregnant and as there was no cricketing event going on for him to attend. Recently his wife had been fighting with death and she is still not in stable condition completely. The fact that he did not deny the role proves his love and desire to play. I don't see why some of you guys are questioning that. Back in January it was a whole lot different. Even though he wasn't fully fit, he was working towards it and was on action. That's why he was confident. Don't misunderstand him when you should be feeling sorry for him because what he has been going through. At the end of the day, form or out of form, confident or unconfident, he will play better than our pacers under pressure.
You guys are taking his modesty as dishonesty which is simply pathetic.....

Confusing! So many nicks for one player!

BTW, it's not us NRBs, Rock, Mash, Ash, etc nicks are made by their fellow teammates. I only heard Bashar and Ashraful calling Mashrafe as Koushik (even Ashraful later started to call him Mash).

[Zunaid]

^ That's why I prefer to use the names I see on the score cards - jodu, modu, kodu can stay with their friends and family.

Anglophilia is a national disease of the self-loathing petit-bourgeoisie and the lumpen proletariat who want to become just like them, no matter where they are.

Of course it was! :lol:

[Night_wolf]

alok needs time to settle in(just see his magnificent 100 vs ind)..IMO he'll be a waste at 7

[Shaan]

Here is the squad for the first ODI to beat the >>> Aussies

1. Chittagangia Dashing Hero
2. Vhimrul Jan
3. Bhaber Badhsha Shareer
4. Kotha-shilpi Rahim
5. Nobagoto Hom

11. RBX

hahaha love your tone here !!:notworthy:

anyway thats my team too !!

[max410]

i don't want mushy in the team his batting suxs in domestic he maybe a good keeper he cant play long innings and does not have the temperment to do so.

[nahaz]

1. Tamim Iqbal
2.Imrul Kayes
3.Shahriar Nafees
4.Shakib Al-Hasan (c) (+ SLA spin)
5.Shuvogoto Hom ( +2-3 overs of pace)
6.Mahmudullah Riyad (+off spin)
7.Mushfiqur Rahim (wk)
8. Abdur Razzak
9.Shafiul Islam
10. Rubel Hossain
11. Nazmul Hossain ( balanced attack important against Australia)
12<SUP>th</SUP>: Rakibul Hasan
I wouldn’t want Rakib in the team now. He’s 12<SUP>th</SUP> man purely because of his fielding.
I would like to see Alok play, but he cannot as there is no other top order alternative to including Shahriar Nafees. And excluding Razzak depletes the spin arsenal.
I am sure Mashrafee will declare himself unfit resulting in Nazmul being selected.
I see it as very important that we have 3 spinners and 3 pacers against Australia.

[mehedi]

1. Tamim
2. Imrul
3. Nafees/ Raqibul/ Shubhagauto
4. Riyad

if we use hom as a bowler, the aussies will eat him alive.

[One World]

Everyone from NZ series + Hom, Mushfik is an auto choice.

4.Mushy
5.Shakib
6.Kapali
7.Riyad

9.Raj
10.Shafiul
11.Rubel
*For #4 i think best option is Mushy,he is unfit at #6 during power play but easily fits well at #4.My second option is Riyad.
**For bowling i see no way but to use 5 full time bowler.Using Riyad+Kapal as 5th bowler will not be a good option.Now i am waiting what Siddons does with his 5th bowler option.

We're a pacer short. Not sure if Mashrafe should be in the XI straightaway. Shouldn't have left Nazmul out. My batting order for the first ODI:

4. Mushfiqqa
5. Shakibbe
6. Aloikka
7. Riyad
8. Hujur sir

ATMR both of us have selected same team with same batting order.Khayel e krini.Now i am waiting to see whom Siddons play #4.Probably he will stick with Rock.
<br />Posted via BC Mobile Edition

[ahnaf]

Give riyad a shot at 4.. He is a player who like to rotate strike and can hit later.. He did that against india and trination series.. No need to play subhagoto in this series.. Just keep him with the team.. Make debut against zim..and I'll go with 3 pacer if mash is fit..
My team:
1.Tamim
2.Imrul
3.S.Nafees
4.Riyad
5.Shakib
6.Mushy
7.Alok
8.Razzak
9.Mash/S.Shubo(if mash unfit)
10.Rubel
11.Shafiul

[Beamer]

No team can get anywhere without your base, which is no.3 and no.4. Solid opening partnerships and flying starts matter little if no.3-4 can't build on that. How often do you see our no.5 ( Sakib-who is as good as any ) coming to bat at for example, with scoreboard flashing 150-3 ? Not often. My XI :

1. Tamim ( hope he is training hard to shed some lbs )
2. Imrul.
3. Shuvagoto Hom ( Baptism by fire )
4. Riyad ( Monumental waste at no.7. One of Siddons biggest mistake. He deserves to be up )
5. Sakib
6. Alok
7. Rahim ( Can't belive he is still in ODI squad )
8. Shurawadi Shuvo.
9. Shafiul
10. Raj
11. Rubel.

In lot of my posts i blamed Siddons for for batting failure.IMO shuffling of batting order can rate us.
1.Junaid and Ash was a complete waste at #3 still Siddons tried the failed material year after year.
2.We have Riyad and Mushy in the team they have good test record.If you have good test batsman in your team why should you fail to have a fixed #4 batsman?So now i am waiting whom Siddons use as #4 batsman in this series.
3.Mushy+Riyad+Naeem are totally unfit in power play overs.None of them can play over the top.
4.Playing with 8 batsman and 4 bowlers is a poor technique.
I am waiting to see what Siddons does with those situations.Recycling of failed material or some change?
