Pompous and Rafiq..Yes, We agree on the makeup of the team and both of you have valid reasons for the batting order. Even tough I mentioned aftab at no.3, I also mentioned that is huge task for some one making a debut. Also, I am reluctant to tinker with no.4 and no.5 since those two batsmen look like the most stable in the line up. But, due to Bashar's exclusion, maybe some tinkering is ordered. I am against Ashraful opening Rafiq. Can you imagine if we lose him early, what type of negative impact that will have on the team? I agree with the specialists opening. So, Omar and Nafis is a go..And cannot stress the fact enough of the importance of Golla to provide a foundation. He has been miserable and as a senior member he has let us down. After a close reexamination, I also think now that putting Aftab in no.3 would be very risky and instead like him at no.5. So, no.3 Ash, 4. Rajin and 5. Aftab. Pilot can promote himself to no.6, so he can calm down Aftabs nerves and pace the innings with him. We need to throw in a mixture of senior-junior in this line up. It is way too inexperienced. Then we have all the bowlers and Mushfiq that we agree on to follow...and hope for the best. I like Enam's inclusion. We clearly needed a third spinner last match and Enam will do that..
