Given the circumstances of the BD camp, the wicket in Chittagong, and after much thought, I would have to agree with selection, although I still remain adament against Nafis' inclusion. If it were up to me, I would retain Javed. I hope Nafis' proves me wrong.
Rajin and Kapali need to step in the bowling department in the 1st ODI. Kapali really needs to find confidence and technique to bowl 5 to 10 over spells.
For the second ODI, I would like to see two spinners and two pace bowlers. (excluding Sujon). Ideally I would like to see Rana and Rafique and would be curious to see the Jamaluddin and Rafique combo.
Just because the selectors feel certain of a top order collapse is not a good enough reson to pack an extra batsmen. OD games are all about winning or losing. If BD is to stand any chance then they have to bowl out the opposing team or restrict them to less than modest totals.
