Rasel when he was playing was actually a very crafty bowler, so disagree with you Jeesh. He totally outperformed Mashrafe in the 2007 world cup and the series immediately after that. He lost form at the beginning of 2008, and with his lack of pace that was deadly to his prospects.

Rubel, like most of our bowlers hasn't developed anything on his pace...then again most international bowlers don't. I'm not sure if his pace has dropped, but he has been quite decent in ODIs of late. He's bowled with far better than control before and than anyone else we have except maybe Mash.

Our Test bowling stocks are very poor, and I'd like to see what Abul Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, and some others can manage in the upcoming NCL season. Al Amin Hossain did very well last season as well and he's got pace around the 135-140 k mark.
