Two half centuries in the last match, a big maiden centry (151) in this round. Plus the occasional wicket. Good on him. As I had mentioned in an article, he has to make the test side as a batting all-rounder, not the other way around. Weak bowling or not, it still tells you he's middling the ball.
Also Ashraful bagged a Michelle! Bowled 20 overs too. Now he needs to score the runs. Talha got 4 wickets too. Good captaincy by chacha as he did not do the selfish thing and bowl himself, rather sticking with his "hot" bowlers.
Masree was rested as was Tapash. Rafique still no where to be found! We need this guy to get some sort of match fitness. In England, he has to perform the containment role at one end while Masree, Tapash at al try to get wickets. (see zillions of posts from Sham & me on why SLAs will have a tough time in the early English summer).
Bashar, Golla,Tushar Imran & Pilot disappoint.
No Shahadat Hossain? No Shahriar Imtiaz? No Sanwar? Surprised that some of the A-team guys are not able to break into the NCL sides.
