Look at our batting line up.
Mehrab and Sakib: Absolutely unproven at this level. Not enough domestic experience either.
Shahriar Nafees: Only one fifty and a handful matches against the top8 teams.
Aftab and Ashraful: Talented but extremely inconsistent. Dont expect anything more than a smashing 30.
Bashar: Always poor in ODIs. Highest score of 78 is ample proof.
Ok, so where does our batting really stand now? We need all our batsmen to step up to be competitive. Middle order is our weakest link. People like Kapali, Tushar, Al Shahriar, Rajin have to be on the periphery of selection. We still dont have a core who score runs more often than not. So, dont discard the stalwarts yet, they are very much in the reckoning.
