Default Nazmul success

Julien and me used to joke with Nazmul that he should 'get loose' every day and be ready to play. We did this because he was never going to get a game despite being our best bowler in every session we had.

Nazmul himself was the most 'warmed up' international bowler and he used to laugh about it. I recommended Nazmul every match and he only played on October 5th during my time (and the Pakistan warm up match at the WC). Both times he bowled really well when needed.

I said that Nazmul was the new Mash and nothing I have seen has changed my mind. This guy simply needed to play and be backed by the coaches and selectors. Unlike the majority of national bowlers he doesn't need much help or support - just backing.

He can also hit the ball a long way, as Julien will testify.
