If shahadat gets a bit sensible, we have a very good attack. In fact he wasn't prepared to take the new ball in 1st ODI. Clearly the plan was, that Rasel will continue for 8 overs with the new ball, whille mash will be for 5/6 overs, then either Raz/shahadat will replace Mash. But the plan didn't work.
I don't know what they are planning now, if they aren't confident with anyone else, they should keep shahadat prepared for opening with Mash. Atleast he will have the frame of mind to start with.
Hope the bowlers keep their good work up in the second ODI. I thought Ash has used the bowlers pretty intelligently & didn't suffer from indecision at any stage to remove some one or to bring in. Good stuff.
