I like this team! It's good that they left most of the Australia team intact.
I hope Shanto and Mushfiq DON"T take away playing time in the one days from the obviously better players on the test squad (with the notable exception of Sujon), but we can debate that one later.
I know people wanted a second spinner instead of the 5th paceman, but I wonder if a third opener would have been better - too bad Bidyut was injured. With Rokon gone, this brings an end to our opener debates unless Ashraful is back in the picture.
As for bowling 30 overs - both Rafique (and especially Moni Sr.) routinely have bowled 30 overs a day in tests. Naimur couldn't bowl more than 6 at a stretch.
