significance of javed omar

[BangladeshFan]

i have read some threads regarding javed is in super touch. and that he is catching well. javed is always a good fielder but question is should he be in the side just because he can catch. 18 runs in 36 balls, is it called in form? the guy is a horrible batsman for one dayers because he cant improvise and take singles. he has a few full strokes which can be cut off easily if opposition does a little research. he will invariable eat up the restricted overs where valuable runs could have been scored. he was solely responsible for the last ODI game in england where bd had wickets in hand but ended up little over 200.

he is still useful for test match, and that is not because he is technically sound but just that he can take the shine off the new ball. he can still partner with s.nafis in tests assuming he will actually do better than nafis iqbal. but for one dayers, i think using either aftab or rajin saleh will be right move to partner s.nafis.

[roaring tigerz]

i second that...jo needs to go!

[kalimdor]

agree

[Tigers_eye]

JO is not the best fielder, nor he is the best batsman. He does not possess the talent and shots. Yet in the current ODI serise he scored 14 (16), 18 (36), 18 (26). As an openner this is not a good score yet in BD team he is above so many players.

Ash 4 (4), 31 (54), 0 (3) - Dropped catch
Aftab 2 (17), 18 (24), 1 (9) - missed stumping
Tushar 6 (18), 31 (37), 13 (34) - missed simple catch w/ gloves on
Bashar 14 (29), 41 (47), 1 (2) - missed catch and had several taki mas for 4.

If JO goes because of his slow stricking rate and low run then what will happen to our best inconsistant superstar match winners? You make the call.

yeah...why dont we all make him the easy scapegoat for the current misery...after all..he has always been that..hasnt he ?

no one talks about the failure of our "talented" batsmen like ash, aftab, tushar n co...its only a problem when JO doenst bat well..

at least he is the only top order batsmen alongwith abir who actually reached double figure in every single match in SL...

that is a great excuse to chop him off the team....
why dont we kick abir as welll....cuz he's got long hair !!

hey fellas...we got bowled out for 108....yeah thats 1 0 8...
i guess we need player like javed to stick to the crease..let that be odi or test..cuz our other talented stroke makers seems to loose their touch....

its players like javed...the underrated unsung heroes whoz got our team goin on ...cuz they always perform moderately good enough... i'd rather have javed in the team scoring 20 something in every odi than ashraful who is makin a century in one match..and not even gettin to double figure in the next 10 matches...

THank you sydney..i totally agree with you...i still don't understand why some of our bc members can talk so rubbish......
JO has to be there whatever be the case.......it's better to play full 50 overs than getting out in shamefull 1 0 8. ATleast he can make some runs. Coz of him S.naffis can play some strokes , he knows JO will be there. This is the rules of ODI, one try to stick to the crease and other partner try's for anything.............

atleast our openers gave us a good start, it is our heroic batsman has to prolong the rest....but they fail everytime.........

I totally support Sydney, we should have players like JO who can reach double figure in every match rather not scoring in 10 innnings.

BROTHER!!

Can you show my any better and consistant performer in BD side than JO? Our so called superstar Ash scored 3 ducks ot of four innings after Eng tour and so is true with others. Look at todays match after his diperture ........................

Just don't talk non-sense.

[sunny747]

Few months ago, i talked about javed in this forum and gave some points abt how he is so important to us........i still remember, i had to face sheer criticism from some of the whiners here......sorry abt my language...just frustated.

[Rabz]

Thanks sunny....at least someone got my point...

JO is NOT the best batsman in the team...
nor is the excellent... but as dav himself said something like this once..
"its players like Javed who knows his limitations and plays accordingly, while ash has got all the shots in the book under his arms..but go n gets a duck.."

once our other batsman starts to play consistent cricket for good...we can say Javed good bye with honour...but not now..not at least in the near future...

for god's sake..give him a break....

to BangladeshFan...the significance of javed??

well..he is one of the most important player in the side....whom we can count on...

.............i rest my case.........

[anthrax]

javed is a gr8 player , batsmen and an awesome feilder..............he's got the guts maan....temme (whoever started this boring thread)......could u go out there and face those fearsome fast bowlers and that too wid the new bowl..........no right????.........then why start this meaningless thread on one of bangladesh's best openers..............

he wastes balls right...........??let him...........atleast the wickets dont outnumber the runs whn he is batting (this is wht happens in bangladesh's case)............

long live JO

[6alltheway]

i agree with the thread starter, he has some good techniques but he cant apply them to make singles or 2 runs. He is consistant though but all he needs to learn is to use the bat to apply good strokes and turn those dot balls into 1 or 2s.

[CricTiger]

Can we rest this issue for ever .JO is doing OK and he should be there to give us a good start.He has been keeping wickets in one side for others who can play their natural game !

JO an SN will open our innings for a while whether you like it or not.This is a fact .

[sham1980]

There are other's who need to be picked on before Javed.

I agree 100%. Barring Atahar Ali, he is our best opener both in ODI and Test.

Right!

I think, even I can bat better than 'any' BD players in current team.

Try one more time. May be after 2 centuries, this time you will face less criticism.

Instead of creating a new JO thread, just recycled this one

[syedmahm]

I dont think JO is bad. Rather he plays according to his ability. And I like this more than that of how our so called over rated talented batsmen throwing wickets in the name of stroke playing in almost matches! Its shame to me that we just dont know which thing is to be highlighted more! Is this really very important, to be out after making 8 in 10 balls? May be some of us like this, as we like to watch two boundaries ! GOOD IEDA indeed.

[Zunaid]

As myself. Completely as myself. Not as mod et al.

Anyone who does not understand the value of JO does not understand the cricket.

[AsifTheManRahman]

right you are, sir.

[Ehsan]

Rightly said Zunaid bhai.

But let me point out to you all there is a big difference b/w the Javed Omar we have now and the one we had before. In about last one year, JO has really developed good batting skills. Note the keyword, SKILLS. He is not talented, never was. He now has the experience and the good skills. Earlier the only things I used to see is JO going out in the field and holding his bat - no shots, not much knowledge of the ball, not much foot movements and bad prediction. I would say now he has overcome many of his shortcomings. My comments are soley based on watching his recent and earlier games.

And yes, he was always needed in BD team for different reasons. As for now, to give us a good start.

Our youngsters have a lot to learn from Javed. Posing talent would be of no use if you can't apply it in your game, the need to keep develping your own batting and bowling, improving concentration and HARD WORK. These are JO's recipe to be successful and I bet is gonna work for all our bowlers and batsmen to be successful if they start implementing it.

Agree

[sadi]

well experience definately counts..... he is one of the experienced guy we have in our team..... slowly but surely he is learning how to be productive.....

[Ahmed_B]

The best thing I like about JO is that he is improving steadily with time.
