I'm tired of watching bowlers show a lot of promise without any end result. Pretty much every fast bowler starting from Manju to Talha to Sharif to ... to Sajed to Robin to this bunch has shown "promise", but none of them have turned out to be long term solutions.

Let me be clear that I don't blame the players for this. I'm sure these guys will become good with time, but I'm not sure they should be playing Test cricket yet. Figures of 100+/0 off 23 overs aren't exactly inspiring, no matter who the opposition is. I just feel that these guys will be giving us much more if they make their way to the national team through a process where they play a few FC seasons at home and go on enough overseas FC tours. The reality is Shafiul has only played 7 FC games and Rubel was picked off the streets from a pacer hunt program.
I soo much agree.. I think they should be given more time to bowl under less pressure, out of the international scene.. And they should be coached nicely, but by not putting too much pressure on them.. Then I think they will be good to actually give us a whole career of good bowling rather than a few months/years and then getting totally lost.. Thats what has happened to the players names you had given in the promise list..
