It'll be a big task for our bowlers becoz the pitch is very much different from what we play in this sub-continent. So they need to bowl at the right areas, like McGrath does. There's a bit more bounce to those wickets so the bowlers can afford to pitch it up half a yard or more further, that way it can generate pace and movement from the wicket. Our spinners are a key and bowlers needs to use the slope in some of the English wickets!
Batsmen needs to be careful about shuffling too much on the crease. I noticed Aftab, Nafis have a tendency to shuffle a bit too much- they need to curb that. These conditions should suit the likes of Rajin and Ashraful simply becoz they wait till the last minute to hit the ball(although it might contradict with some of Ashraf's dismissal where he chased the balls and got out). Habibul should not play around his pads like he tends to do.
Fielding is one mark i'm looking forward becoz of the lush green outfields and the soft grass which would encourage the young players to dive about in the field!
