Default team

I like Ziphaniah's team selection and comment. However, I have an observation to share. When Atahar, Aminul, Akram, Nannu was in the team they had a capability of scoring 30-40 runs and team total was at the range of 190-200 in most cases. When we have thses 'talented' and 'multiskilled' Rajin, Faisal, Hannan etc they can only score 0-20 consistantly, and the team score ranges between 160-180. I think within their limitations, Aminul, Atahar, Akram Nannu played for the pride of the nation, they knew their limitations and played accordingly. Bashar, Alok, Rajin etc does not even know their limitations. Part of the reason is the building of 'Habibul Bashar square' in Kustia and mass reception of 4 national heroes (inclding alok, tapash, Rajin) in Sylhet. We are spoiling what ever little talent we have by making them national hero ater they have scored 18+ avarage in ODI and taking a few wickets in Test. Not only laughable but self destructing.
