Our pace attack for the ODI series against WI

shuziburo · #1 September 26, 2011, 08:39 AM

I personally feel that we should go with three pacers. Rubel is a no-brainer. Despite his recent struggles, I would like Shafiul in the team. The boy is a fighter and he uses his brain, even when struggling. If he continues to struggle, then we can think of alternatives. I think Nazmul deserves a chance and might do some damage, if given an opportunity. (I know Mash is out, but I added him for the sake of fairness. He wants to play again, although I have argued against it for the risk to his long-term health.)

3? at home? The bouncers our pacers come up with only gets to knee high for 6'2" - 6'-4" players.

Get Rasel and Rubel. Change of pace will be there in every over interchange.

Rasel has lost something. He gets spanked on ODI these days. If you want change of pace, you could do worse than Nazmul.

Why did you include Mashrafee ? He is not in the squad. More importantly, he wont be able to play til first half of the next year.

Anyway, i picked Rubel & Nazmul.

For ODI, 2 pacers are enough. Shakib, Razzaq, Riyad, Naeem, Nasir can take care of rest of the overs. However, i would go for 3 pacers in the test series.

Did you actually vote? Rubel and Nazmul is still showing 0.

I included an explanation for Mash in the poll.

lol....sorry...i forgot to vote

I understand your reasoning behind Mash's inclusion but that was not necessary. The option looks too lengthy. I aint complaining, just giving my opinion. Thanks for ensuring that my vote is being casted properly

Murad · #7 September 26, 2011, 10:54 AM

Rubel, Nazmul & Rasel as pacers

Shakib and Razzak as main spinners

Riyad, Nasir and Ash are part-time spinners.

Shafiul can rest his dhila mind in the pavilion.

We need 3 pacers against WI. They are weak against slow medium pacers.

rubel(recent form) shafiul(fighter) and nazmul( stepson)

To tell you the truth, Rubel and Nazmul is my second preference for the upcoming series. We need to find out whether he can cut it at the international level. Ian Pont was very high on him.

About poll, I wanted to give people as many options as possible. Yes, the number is a "tad" high.

AMD128 · #10 September 26, 2011, 06:26 PM

Rubel,Nazmul & Syed Rasel/Farhad Reza. Shafiul is not being pretty much impressive from the Zim tour. His spells are kinda expensive even at the BCB Cup. But I think Shafiul might be picked hope he can make a come back.

22Yards · #11 September 26, 2011, 07:25 PM

shafiul uses his brain more than others. Only problem is he uses it not very often. I am going to go with Rubel and Nazmul for ODIs and depending on the pitch and how the selection process pan out, should shafiul get the nod.

Nazmul and Shafiul should alternate in ODis. Shafiul might be the one more lethal amongst the two but nazmul can be pretty nagging with line and length, gives away nothing. Nazmul is just being a victim of ignorance, nothing else.

For test, its shahadat and rubel. And again shafiul should only be picked if there is a need for a third seamer or if one of the two gets injured or hits a bad patch of form.

well said, agree..

Dust bowl with no pacers. We should able to see how many paddy make how many rice.

Rabz · #14 September 27, 2011, 12:18 AM

I have voted for Rubel/Shafiul cuz thats what it is going to be.
But Rubel/Nazmul is not a bad option either.

AMD128 · #15 September 27, 2011, 05:25 AM

Better try out Rasel or Farhad Reza in place of Shafiul. NAZMUL & RUBEL is a MUST.

BANFAN · #16 September 27, 2011, 05:39 AM

3 would be ok, for Tests and n ODI we can only take 3 pacers, if we had a quality pace bowling allrounder. Naseer isn't there yet.

At this time, our current attack has only 5.88% (1) vote.

Tiger444 · #21 September 27, 2011, 10:06 PM

I would go with 4 pacers Nazmul, Shafiul, Rubel, and Rasel. Don't really see the need to take Razzak in the team. I know WI struggle against spin but he's just not been good at all. We should take 2 SLA's. One is obviously Shakib and the second one is Sunny. Nazmul and Rasel could do very well on our pitches with their line and length. Rubel and Shafiul have the role of taking wickets.

I don't know about Rasel; he has not been good lately. Plus, 4 pacers might not be appropriate for the WI team. They are good against pace. Agree about Razzak.

Rasel for some reason just got 2 games. In the games he played though, his economy rate was a 4. Compared to others where they had a economy rate of above a 5 some touching 6. Also there are plenty of spin options available. We have Shakib, Riyad, Naeem and in my opinion Sunny should be there. So that's 4 spinners. So I believe taking 4 pacers would be necessary. Especially when Shafiul has been so inconsistent.

If we have access to 4 spinners, then 3 pacers should be more than enough. If Shafiul is expensive in a given match, there will still be 4 spinners and 2 other pacers to distribute the 50 overs. Until/unless Rasel regains the form that made him an economical ODI bowler, I don't think he should be in the team.

Just my opinion.

I get what you're saying bro. And I know Razzak will be in the team and Rasel will not but I just feel that since we still lack economical bowlers, we could have tried him out. I just think that playing 3 pacers in a match is perfect and then have 1 back up pacer. The way we're just playing 2 pacers, it's not enough people running in but I think the team management will end up going with Nazmul, Shafiul and Rubel as the pacers and then Razzak, Shakib, and Sunny or Shuvo as the SLA's and Riyad, Naeem, and Nasir as the OB's. It wouldn't be a bad idea to send Rasel down to the WI with the A team and see how he does there.
