Excellent penmanship.

However, I do not agree with most of the points that was put negatively on his broad shoulder.

As for Ashraful part, why forget the mess that this site and the media discussed in great length. Wasn't he portrayed as a LIAR? His hand tied in the back, with selector in the tour how much flexibility did he have?

As for outside the box thinking: 1) paan thekey chul khosley ore namey HULIA ber korar jonno manush ek paye darai asey. One move on the field and if that didn't work, same people would sharpen the knives to cut him in to pieces.

2) Immaturely calling for a different captain. a) Performing consistent captain amader bhalo lagey na. We need an inconsistent captain who's position in the team can not be confirmed in the first place. b) Captaincy is like underwear, right? Change it whimsically and all things will be fine. Do you know the problems it creates when a leadership position is switched every other series? c) Two captain system never works. You can't have two leaders for any organization.

3) We always focus on the wrong thing. Instead of focusing on the real issues we try to find the non-issues and focus on that one. In my captain's log, main parts would be feature 1) Selectors mitthachar. 2) Tamim's loud mouth. 3) Each players failure Imrul, Junaid, Ashraful, Raz, Shafiul and how it impacted on the results.

4) Comparing Shakib with Dhoni and other captains and not comparing their arsenals they possess, is a crime. Shakib has a top order to deal with which 80+% of the time reads 4/40 or 5/50 or 6/60. How can his pressure mount to dhoni's?

5) Successful captain's don't understand diplomacy. Their visions are much greater than all non-successful captains, players, fans, media outlets, politicians, country leaders COMBINED. Plus they have some valuable players who can assist the captain with shear performance. We have a team of zero 40 average batsmen in any format of the game. Yes, Tamim's test average has fallen as well.

Answer: We are not only on good hands but in the best hand BD can be. The problem lies with the board. I am not going to blame the selectors yet cause they have done some good work already barring few decisions.
