Orpheus, what on earth were you trying to say ?
FWaliullah - your comment about Mashud borders hysteria !!What do you mean - a player that marvelously contributes (regardless of the reason) at 7/8 should be pushed up the order to 4/5. And if he then fails, you are saying he doesn't have the stuff. Honestly, your logic doesn't correlate with reality. He is in the team by virtue of his being the wk. For a team like BD, what more can you expect from him.
Its the batsman designated batsmen's job to do the right stuff. If anybody should be guillotined for poor batsmenship, then it ought to be the Akrams & the Sanwars.
Masud being brought up as a wk simply never had the talent to weather the opening part of an innings. But his perseverence has in time turned him into a dodgy run collector ! And what a face saver he has become from that position !!
Basically, most of the arguments here just move around in circles. If not this, then that, if not that then this, if not this then that........helps to realize our journalistic ambitions, but does JACK for the team.
