meh, just use the format as a trial for new players, giv ethem some experience, couldn't do any worse could they? i think shakib's lack of form is a big reason for the recent poor batting, tamim has soo much pressure as the only performer at the top, riyad and naeem are good but have constant pressure because most of the top order and middle order fail so inevitabley they'll struggle some matches. shakib has been the consistency in the middle order and in the tests against india and this recent t20 he's not been their. this is part of the problem of playing riyad and naeem so far down the order, if they were higher up the order they would have less pressure and should perform more consistently regardless of the format.
