..... I can just imagine what it could be if we had our old tail with this new braveheart top order ...... when we will get it all at the same time dimension......

I know we like to blame Jamie but his defensive mindsets notwithstanding, he's working with chicken-crap. Who would one play instead of the Riyadh / Nayeem / Rok troika - guys who pretend they are batsman but have the bat-speed of club-level cricketers? Why do we have a tail that is incapable of wagging - compare a tail of Rafique, Bisya & Mash with Raj, Rubel & Shafi? Why have we not emphasized pace-bowling all-rounders of the Farhad R, Dollar or Sajedul ilk? We spend $30M on opening ceremony but don't give our batters exposure to top-flight attacks for over 6 months - and then coach says we are rusty against good bowlers.

Sigh ... bummed at what Shakib has to deal with. A champion stuck with wannabes. I'm expecting him to pull us through the Associates and set us up for a quarterfinal Inshallah.
