Well they played well, India would have been 200/4 at one stage and we could have got them under 350 if Rokibul held onto those catches. Rubel still needs some time, he needs to fix his no ball problem and I don't think he is ready for International cricket, even though he has the pace and does trouble batsman, after a year he'll be a good asset in the team.
Shahadat is our bowler version of V.V.S Laxman, as V.V.S always plays well against the Aussies, Hossain plays well only against S.A.F. His slow bouncers won't bother the English batsmen nor the Kiwis. Champaka hasn't done anything special with the bowlers, Shahadat was even slower when he was following Champaka's instructions, coming back to his old one he is bowling some deliveries at 135+ which was good to see. I don't think Mash needs to be in the test team, we need players or pacers who averages under 32 with the bowl.
