Thanks for your acknowledgements and understanding the significance of the matter.
Slip fielding is a critical part of Test cricket, and it is an area where a lot of improvement is necessary towards building a specialist or two.
Sakib can be (read: should be) trained for this position. To put it bluntly, this guy has by far the coolest mind in the team, and has the potential to master slip fielding. Mehrab jnr, Rajin, Ashraful, Enam could cover the sqaures, and Mashrafee has no business in standing at the slip cordon.
Any specialist slip fielder coming up from the U-19 / domestic ranks ?
BTW, a fine post by Surfer there
