Which 2 batsmen do you think should bat at no. 6 & 7 for Bangladesh in ODI's?
Please vote twice only. If you vote once or more than 2 times then your vote will not be counted.
The number 6 is often a stroke-making player who can take an innings away from a fielding side. However, Numbers 6 and below must be able to play with tail-enders. They must be able to keep the strike as the innings comes towards its end. So the no.6 batsmen needs in some ways to be the most thoughtful batsman of the side.
In recent years the no. 7 position has been filled with fluent stroke-making players and people who can hit and stick around during the death overs. It doesn't matter what style Number 7 plays as long as they are capable of finishing the game. If the player being considered for 7 averages in the twenties with no hundreds - he might not be right for the job. As with No.6, he must be able to shepherd the tail effectively.
Which 2 batsmen should play in these pivotal roles for Bangladesh?
