Nazmul Hossain Thread

[shuziburo]

Over the years, Nazmul has performed well whenever given a chance. Our previous bowling coach though him to be our best pacer. But, the selectors, for whatever reason, never picks him unless they are forced to. This madness has to stop!

What can we do to raise awareness of the selection board's repeated blunders in this regard? I'm thinking of using FB, twitter, and letters to the editor in several BD newspapers. If you feel the same way about Nazmul, please act. We need to improve our pathetic bowling attack and one element is available right now.

Congats Naz for his official thread after playing Intl cricket for more than 8 years

[ma_o_mati]

I don't know if our selectors are blind or not....if they are not blind then they do not watch BD games...

After Naz bowled wonderfully against WI, someone in the team said he is very lucky, whenever he plays the team wins...I say he is not lucky, he bowls good and gives us early breakthroughs and doesn't give away too many runs which makes it easier for us to win games

Whatever is going on with the Nazmul case is just madness....He should be playing all the Odis and t20's...he was the best pacer in the last test too...

[Rifat]

always been there and always will be :)

[munshi33]

Thanks for opening this thread, i will do any thing to see the STEPSON ( the best pacer in current BD Team) in fanal 11

[Naimul_Hd]

Nazmul is our McGrath who can consistently pitch the ball exactly same spot over time. He may not be quick, but has control over his line and length of delivery. He is an intelligent bowler too, reads batsmen well, a handy bowler in modern time.

Rubel and Nazmul should be our frontier- one is quick and pacey, the other is intelligent bowler.

I still can't get the word 'Official'. Why has it always be 'Official' ? What does it mean in BC anyway ? Does it mean, no other is allowed to open any other thread related to that player ? That means the thread owner owns him ? Me so confused.

[AMD128]

I'm with you guys. It's too much. Nazmul has always been undermined. Whereas he has always been highly praised by Ian Pont. Let's just hope we will see Nazmul playing matches from now on & also in Tests.

[simon]

Nazmul ke leliye deya hok >:)
nah,polata bhaloi khele.
Rubel & NAzmul should play regularly, Naz should be given a long run in national team.

[mij]

Just like Shak you cannot stop a good player stop playing. He will break in to the team somehow. Naz showed everyone what he can do.

Its going to be difficult for the selector to ignore him from now anyway. Even if they try they cannot stop him, until his performance is really poor.

[simon]

he is capable of giving early breakthroughs which is very crucial :)

[Equinox]

In Dhaka, we should be going with three pacers. Nazmul opening the bowling with Shafiul and then Rubel coming on first change or possibly even later. Nazmul has looked very impressive recently. He has improved a lot. I believe he can fill the void left by Mash. He is the new leader of our pace attack in my eyes. If Mashrafe can return then we will have 4 good LOI pacers to pick from who each have their own speciality.
Mashrafe: Ability to cut the new ball + his experience
Nazmul: Accuracy and that subtle late movement he can generate
Shafiul: Outswing + Death bowling abilities
Rubel: Pace + Ability to reverse + death bowling

[lamisa]

nazmul did well in the test, he definitely deserves a chance

Shalish mani, kintu talgaach-ta amar. If the selectors take this stance, there is nothing you can do about it. I hope that is not the case and he has finally broken into the team.

[Shehwar]

Yup! Ive always felt the same way about Nazmul. I've hardly ever seen him bowl bad!

[Rifat]

I am against Nazmul in tests not because of his bowling ability but because of his fragile health...I don't think Bangladesh can afford to have another frontline pacer injured at this stage.

also, During Siddon's era he was not ignored i believed he was tried against NZ ODI 1 but he got injured ever since then he was not tried since until after recently.

but then again i think he is ok in tests as long as there are two other pacers to back him up and he doesn't bowl in long spells then he should be fine in Tests too...

Is Nazmul as injury prone as Mash? If he is injury prone, his workload should be monitored, but he should be in the test and ODI teams. He clearly is our best pacer, despite not being the fastest.

Let me correct you.

Nazmul played on October 5th in the first NZ ODI and got injured last ball of the match trying to take a catch off his own bowling. He was fit again for the 4th ODI... but was never to be selected again under Jamie.

I think you meant 3rd ODI. It was a 3 ODI series. Not being asked to bowl in the subsequent ODIs was probably because he gave away runs at 8.66 rpo from 9 overs with one maiden though. But then again, Shakib went for 6.88.

Bro,
I think you are mixing up the two different series.
Ian is talking about the New Zealand tour in 2010 (you know, famous for something :D ) in which Nazmul Hossain got injured of the last delivery of the 1st ODI.

[zsayeed]

So Nazmul played twice under Siddons -
once in NZ ODI Number 2949 http://www.espncricinfo.com/nzvbdesh2010/engine/match/423783.html

and once in BD against NZ ODI Number 3051
http://www.espncricinfo.com/bangladesh-v-new-zealand-2010/engine/match/476596.html

[zsayeed]

In fact, from http://www.banglacricket.com/alochona/showpost.php?p=1451323&postcount=2

7. Jamie Siddons - 4 Jan 2008 - 4 Jun 2010
and, http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/56056.html?class=2;template=results;type=allround; view=match
Nazmul played 15 ODIs under Siddons.

[max410]

nothing will happen to anybody unless u have good contact with BCB and bd media like ashrafoool NO MATTER HOW BAD HE IS HE WILL ALWAYS GET A CHANCE... If i was in Ashrafool's place i could have done better under these coaches trying to learn the game properly.. any dick harry and larry is better than ashrafoool...

[Saifulsohel]

Can any1 pls explain why Shafiul is always selected ahead of Nazmul?After WC,Shafiul lost his control.Even in DPL,BPL Shafiul was very expensive.Nazmu l proved his worth everytime he gets selected.Still he is sidelined!

[playmaker]

Safiul is, was and will always be a crap bowler. His physique is so weak that even most girls of his age are heavier than him

:facepalm:

Nazmul and rubel have better figure

[MohammedC]

Can you change the title to "Nazmul Hossain : The Step Son of Bangladesh Cricket"

[Dilscoop]

I just love how he wasn't at all nervous or rusty. It seemed like he was very regular in the XI/Squad.

I guess this is his normal, being over looked and being irregular.

[ialbd]

now that Shafiul & Rubel will be away for some time.... Nazmul should have no problem with his spot on the team.

And no worries, when Rubel comes back.... we'll offer shahadat a role in the next shakib khan movie and thus we can fit everyone in....

[playmaker]

from now on everyone in the team shud respect nazmul, had he not given the breakthroughs, we wudve been chasing 265 from 40 overs

IMO, better than mash

[shakibrulz]

Jeez, thanks he performed - I was really afraid if he's going to choke this time. Thankfully he didn't.

That would keep Shafi away from the ODI side for a while now - and Rubel can obviously replace Shahadat when he's fit. The pace department looks far better now.

[Shartaz]

I obviously don't want to beat up the guy who did so well on this historic day.

But if you look at Nazmul's ODI and first class record, its not very impressive at all. In fact its quite ordinary.

ODIs 37 36 1601 1350 43 4/40 31.39 5.05
First-class 33 4417 2098 71 5/30 29.54 2.8

43 wickets in 37 ODIs at an average of 31.39 but more disappointingly he's only got 71 wickets in 33 first class matches. So he should not be in the test team. No way.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/asia-cup-2012/content/player/56056.html

Lastly maybe his physique is why he gets snubbed over for Shahadat, who looks like a fast bowler.

[Purbasha T]

He's been in and out so many times. And over the last couple of years, he'd been been impressive in the ODIs every time he was drafted in (as a replacement to Mash/Rubel/Shafiul/Rajib.

[taklima_naj]

I always wanted him to be in 11

[Dilscoop]

http://banglacricket.com/alochona/attachment.php?attachmentid=1332&d=1332274183

[shuziburo]

Please check his ODI, test, and T20 record and compare with the other pacers who routinely play ahead of him. If he was given the opportunity, he could have been an even better bowler by now.

And Nazmul bowls like fast bowler, while Shahdat SRK Hossain sounds like a sex offender.

[Tiger444]

Nazmul is our 2nd best fast bowler in the team behind only Mash and he proved it again today. He's a very smart bowler and really disciplined. You rarely see a bad ball from him. Shafiul and Rubel may have the upside advantage ahead of Nazmul but they're still a few years away from being finished products and Shahadat's always going to be an inconsistent bowler. So Nazmul should be a regular for all forms of the game from now on.

[mali007]

He is a victim of Regional politics !! Why he did not bowl 10 overs ?

[Maysun]

Thanks for your valuable performance, Nazmul! You're a Tiger!

[zsayeed]

True That. He got all the big wigs .... okay almost all...his bowling card is star studded.
He got the three of them for 20 RUNS!!! Their average alone adds up to 106 runs!!!!!!!!

you read my mind bro, I was wondring so badly that nazmul has two over in his hand and mushy still giving the ball to shahadat, who is already giving a lots of runs like 6+ but still he did not wanted to bowl the last two over off NAZ, our players n selector are so racist, he not getting the place in the final 11 becoz he is from sylhet, he has no chacha or mamu in bcb, or a relative who is part of the government, so forget about it no metter what he wont get permanant place in the( ACADOSH)

[বাংলা]নাজমুল বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেটের অ্যালবাট্রস


জয়াবর্ধনে, দিলশান এবং সাঙ্গাকারা_ শ্রীলংকার তিন ব্যাটিং স্তম্ভকে একাই ফেরানোর নায়ক নাজমুলকে ঘিরে মুশফিক, নাসির আর মাহমুদুল্লাহর উল্লাস। পাশে শ্রীলংকাকে অল আউট করার পর বাংলাদেশ দল মাহবুব হোসেন নবীন
নাজমুল হক নোবেল
বিখ্যাত ইংরেজ কবি স্যামুয়েল টেলর কোলরেজের কবিতার অ্যালবাট্রস পাখিটি যেমন পথহারা সমুদ্রযাত্রীদের জন্য সৌভাগ্যের প্রতীক হয়ে এসেছিলেন, নাজমুল হোসেন নামের পেসারটিও বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট দলের জন্য প্রায়ই সৌভাগ্য বয়ে নিয়ে আসেন। বাংলাদেশের ক্রিকেট ইতিহাসের অন্যতম গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ম্যাচেও তিনি হাজির হয়েছিলেন ভাগ্যের ছোঁয়া নিয়ে। মাহেলা জয়াবর্ধনে, তিলেকারত্মে দিলশান, কুমার সাঙ্গাকারা_ শ্রীলংকার ব্যাটিংয়ের তিন তারকাই তার শিকার। শুরুতে তার ওই তিন উইকেটের জন্যই লংকান ইনিংস ২৩৩ রানে শেষ হয়। ৮ ওভারে ৩২ রানে ৩ উইকেট নিয়ে বাংলাদেশের বোলিং হিরো এ ডানহাতি পেসার।

অথচ অভিষেকের আট বছর পরও জাতীয় দলে জায়গাটা পাকা করতে পারেননি নাজমুল। এখনও আছেন আসা-যাওয়ার মধ্যেই। আসা-যাওয়ার ধরনটাও একটু কেমন যেন। নিয়মিত পেসারদের কেউ ইনজুরিতে পড়লে খেল, সুস্থ হলে আবার বাইরে চলে যাও। এর মাঝেই ৩৬টি ওয়ানডে খেলার সুযোগ পেয়েছেন হবিগঞ্জের এ তরুণ। আর তার খেলা ৩৭টির মধ্যে বাংলাদেশ জয় পেয়েছে ১৮টিতে। বাংলাদেশ দলের সদস্য হিসেবে মাঠে নেমে প্রায় অর্ধেকের মতো ম্যাচে জয়ের আনন্দ করতে পারাটা অবশ্য বিরল। এ জন্যই তো তিনি সৌভাগ্যের পাখি। প্রথম শ্রেণীর ক্রিকেট খেলার আগেই ২০০৪ সালের সেপ্টেম্বরে আন্তর্জাতিক ক্রিকেট খেলে ফেলেন তিনি। কিন্তু বিশাল সম্ভাবনা নিয়ে যাত্রা শুরু হলেও অল্প দিনের মধ্যেই দৃষ্টির আড়ালে চলে যান বিকেএসপির এই ছাত্র। শাহাদাত হোসেন, রুবেল হোসেন এবং শফিউল ইসলামের আগমনের পর তিনি তো বলতে গেলে বাতিলের খাতায়ই চলে যান। এই তিনজনের মধ্যে কমপক্ষে দু'জন ইনজুরিতে পড়লে তবেই মাঠে নামার সুযোগ আসে। এমনকি মাশরাফির লম্বা অনুপস্থিতির সময়ও কালে-ভদ্রে মাঠে নামার সুযোগ হতো। না হলে ২০০৪ সালে টেস্ট অভিষেক হওয়া ক্রিকেটার দ্বিতীয় টেস্ট খেলে ২০১১-এর ডিসেম্বরে!

ক্যারিয়ার শুরুর কিছু দিনের মধ্যেই তাকে ওয়ানডে বোলারের তকমা ঝুলিয়ে দেওয়া হয়। তার প্রসঙ্গ এলেই নির্বাচকরা বলতেন, একেবারে গতি নেই, শুধু সুইং দিয়ে কী চলে! কিন্তু গতকাল এ সুইং দিয়েই লংকানদের টপ অর্ডার গুঁড়িয়ে দেন। ২০০৯ সালে শ্রীলংকার বিপক্ষে ত্রিদেশীয় সিরিজের ফাইনালেও ৩০ রানে ৩ উইকেট নিয়েছিলেন এবং সে উইকেটগুলোও টপ অর্ডারেরই ছিল। গতকালের পারফরম্যান্সের পর বলতে হবে, লংকার টপ অর্ডারের দুঃস্বপ্নের নাম নাজমুল হোসেন।
এশিয়া কাপের দলে নাজমুলের সুযোগটা আসে মূলত স্ট্রাইক বোলার রুবেল হোসেন ইনজুরিতে। কিন্তু ১৫ জনের স্কোয়াডে জায়গা পেলেও মাঠে নামার সম্ভাবনা ছিল খুবই কম। কিন্তু ভারতের বিপক্ষে ফিল্ডিংয়ের সময় শফিউল কাঁধে চোট পেয়ে টুর্নামেন্ট থেকে ছিটকে গেলে একাদশে ঢোকার সুযোগ হয় নাজমুলের। শফিউল ছিটকে যাওয়ার পরও শঙ্কা দূর হচ্ছিল না তার। শ্রীলংকার বিপক্ষে ম্যাচের আগের দিন সন্ধ্যায়ও তিনি বলেন, 'আমি তো বসে থাকি কখন সুযোগ আসবে সে অপেক্ষায়। সুযোগ পেলেও আবার চাপে থাকি। মনের মধ্যে ভয় কাজ করে, ভালো করতে না পারলেই তো পরের ম্যাচে বাদ!' অবশ্য ভালো করলেও যে পরের ম্যাচে দলে থাকবেন এমন নিশ্চয়তা নাজমুলের বেলায় নেই।

সেই কবিতার পথ দেখানো অ্যালবাট্রস পাখিটিকে কিন্তু অকৃতজ্ঞের মতো গুলি করে মেরেছিলেন বুড়ো নাবিক। বাংলাদেশের ক্রিকেট কর্তারাও কী আশরাফুল-নাজমুলের মতো প্রতিভাদের মেরে ফেলছেন![/বাংলা]

Nazmul Hossain is one of the best bowler of BD and a huge respect from one of his biggest fan for all his hard work...I hope the selectors/management appreciate Nazmul's performance..

[i_1_primeval_man]

He definitely gets my vote in ODI and T20..has given us early break throughs more often than not..

[Sohel]

Definitely my MOM. His early breakthrough consolidated our confidence.

[PoorFan]

The article sounded god until I saw Ashraful in the last line.

Nazmul is indeed a superb baller and he should be premanently in the ODI XI. Mash + Nazmul + Rubel/Shafiul in ODIs. Rubel and Shafiul can fight it among themselves for a place. And, Shahadat can be left in the Test squad. I don't think Mash and Nazmul should play in Tests.. they are pacers and every pacer is injury-prone.

So, I sign this petition to permanently have Nazmul in ODIs.

[Crisis]

Why does nazmul keep getting ignored ????

[wasi90lkv1]

why would he get ignored all the time? maybe his inclusion hurts the team balance, which is why he gets ignored.

Just checked the score. Only bowled 1 over! Cmon! Really! After warming the bench since SA-ZIm series, he finally gets a game to bowl 6 damn ball!! Why the mistreatments, I do not get!!

[BANFAN]

Some how people likes all slow medium pacers more than genuine pacers... How would we even produce pacers?? Mahmud, Rasel and Now Nazmul... Real pacers get nothing for their hard work...

it would serve us a better purpose in future if we could nurture the genuine pacers... But then we need to be a bit more tolerant with them...

[Sauron]

Nazmul = Chacha+

Sorry for repeating the same thing. But to me, this is what it is. Mushy did a great thing by not letting Naz apa bowl another over today. That could have been the difference between a tight win (happened) and a narrow loss (could have been)

[shuziburo]

CI reports Farhad Reza named in Bangladesh squad for World T20 (http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/content/current/story/577613.html).
Nazmul went wicketless in the two games he played during Bangladesh's tour of Europe last month. Abul Hasan, who also didn't pick a wicket in Ireland and the Netherlands, was preferred due to his extra pace. These selectors probably never heard of people like Richard Hadlee, Kapil Dev, or McGrath.

i think we all like genuine pace prospects, problem is there aren't the proper pace bowling development programs in BD cricket so they don't develop properly, on top of that they're rushed in at a young age. we will see about abul though, rushing rubel worked, however he already had a number of weapons to his arsenal like the slingy action which makes it tougher for batsmen to pick up on his release of the ball and things like reverse swing to go with his pace. i'm not sure abul has any weapons yet outside of his pace.....

can't deny nazmul has been one of our best ODI pacers of the last couple of years, his stats show he's one of the best we have, problem with medium pacers is that unless they're really crafty and canny then they can get hit because they just aren't fast enough.

both can be effective, but genuine pace doesn't work without control and other weapons just like medium pace doesn't work without immaculate line, length, accuracy and variation.

but really when it comes down to it a genuine pacer has more potential to be effective, but BD needs places within the country to teach them how to bowl properly so they can be effective at the highest level.

people always put mcgrath in the slow category when if you look at his speeds he was regularly between 135kph-140kph, a bit quicker than guys like nazmul, rasel, vaas, ian harvey, adam dale, nathan bracken. hadlee also had a bit of pace when he chose to use it. but your point is still valid, mediums and medium-fast bowlers can be very effective.

[NoName]

I don't even know what to say about the selector's logic, Abul got thrashed all over the place by the Irish even with his extra pace. Even Tait has pace and he got thrashed by us, these fools think speed is everything.

Condolences to Nazmul for being dropped. I don't see much happening with this squad. Hope the Best XI will be fielded. Anyway, I admire Nazmul's patience he has benched countless times. Insha'Allah he'll come back strongly. :)

They actually compared Nazmul, purely a bowler, to a batting allrounder like Farhad. :facepalm:
Now Nazmul has to learn to bat as well to satisfy our selectors.

Perseverance or patience cannot be in infinite supply. Plus, even if he plays well one match, so what? He has been dropped before after a well-played match.

[SS]

Koi Feza ar Koi Naz Apa...anyways not sure as I did not see them for a while besides few of the chances Naz got where he delivered, but not sure where our selecters are going with the team especially with pace department and the notion of having all players who can bat and give 5-10 runs!! what on earth then the top and middle order doing if they can not deliver...back to Naz...hopefully he will start to play innings like Shahadat Shahrukh Khan in A team matches or para moholla type practice matches just like what Rok did few days ago b4 Eurpoe t20 tour.

Hope BCB sort out Within a month just like they did with Masha nd Rubel.

Shafiul needs an operation too, but BCB not helping him whatsoever. Hope Nazmul doesn't have the same faith as Shafiul and many others in the past :ohno:

Injured and forgotten

The fast bowling department has never been one of Bangladesh’s strengths as was highlighted by the recent series in Sri Lanka. But recently pacer Robiul Islam who took 15 wickets in the Test series against Zimbabwe brought pacers into the limelight for the right reasons. The Bangladesh cricket team is currently struggling to get longer term service from their fast blowers due to a number of reasons many of which are medical.
Interestingly pacer Shafiul Islam and all-rounder Nasir Hossain will fly to South Africa after finishing the Zimbabwe series as they are suffering from injuries but another fast bowler Nazmul Hossain who hurt his knee during a practice session in Sri Lanka two months ago is still waiting for the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s approval for his treatment.

I think this is borderline criminal! BCB is showing that Nazmul really is the stepson...

Nazmul to go to Australia

SPORTS REPORTER

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have belatedly decided to send paceman Nazmul Hossain to Australia for a knee-replacement surgery. The decision comes almost two months after the bowler twisted his left knee during a practice session in Sri Lanka in March.
The BCB is now waiting for a response from Dr David Young in Melbourne, who has earlier conducted a number of surgeries on Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, to confirm Nazmul’s travel-date.
“We got the confirmation from the board on Thursday. He has already received the Australian visa, now all that we require is an appointment with Dr David,” said BCB’s sports physician Dr Debasish Chowdhury.
“It will take him approximately four to six months to recover after the operation. Our target is to get him ready for the New Zealand series in October,” added Debasish. The news comes as a relief for Nazmul, who had been waiting for the board’s decision ever since he returned to the country in March. While Tuesday’s board meeting did confirm that the bowler was going to be sent abroad, they were yet to decide on whether to send the bowler to India or Australia. A final decision was taken yesterday.

i dont think nazmul will recover before NZ series

[BD_TigerZ]

Sad news. Nazmul would have came good vs NZ.

[M.H.Rubel]

BCB said that they want Nazmul to recover before NZ series. This injury is almost 2 months old and now they have decided to send him for surgery? Nazmul also complained few days ago about this delay. So BCB is has spent time unnecessarily. Rubbish.

[MHRAM]

5 months is more than enough for recovery. That is ofcourse with normal injuries.

He is lucky that he hasnt had a back injury. Back injuries take at least half a year to recover
