I dont think we should play with three pacers unless the pitch is a green top. Otherwise we would be playing into the hands of our opponents. Our strength currently is our three pronged spin attack and it will be more successful against the teams in the super 8 than it was to us against sri lanka and India in group matches. However having said that I would like to play shahdat in place of rasel in the matches against all the teams barring ireland. I think if rasel has a bad day then he will be creamed worse than shahdat having a bad day. Rasel with his swing can be good in the early overs only and only if we can bowl him out his quota non stop. But I think shahdat has more chance of being more potent. I would definitely put shahdat in our first match in the super 8. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain if this works out.
