Team combination for Test series: What do you like to see?

[Tigers_eye]

We have seen the pitches. We have seen our opponent's strength and weaknesses in these pitches. What would be the best lineup combination?

Batsmen + Alrounder (spinner) + Alrounder (pacer) + WK + Spinners + pacers

This is mine. Since spinners are bowling from the over 3-4, we can live with just one pacer in two tests series. Pacers wouldn't get that many wickets anyways on these pitches. His/their primary job should be taking the shine of the new ball. Even Shahadat:

4 Batsmen + 3 Alrounder (spinner) + 1 WK + 2 Spinners + 1 pacers?
1. Tamim
2. Imrul
3. Zunaed
4. (wait and see the practice match)
------------- 5. Shakib
------------- 6. Riyad
------------- 7. Naeem
------------------------------------- 8. Mushi
--------------------------------------------------- 9. Enam Jr.
--------------------------------------------------- 10. Shuvo
----------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Shafiul/Rubel.

By the way, Mushi should come before Naeem, and Shuvo before Enam.

[sadi]

It will be hard to leave out Razzak after this one day series.

[hbk619]

tamim
imrul
Mushfique
Mahmudullah
Shakib
Naeem
Razzak
Shubho
Shafiul
Rubel
Shahadat

Sub: Raqibul and Nazmul

[Spitfire_x86]

I voted for #3, I assuming you meant 1 spinner and 2 pacer (otherwise player count is 12)

Tamim
Imrul
Junaed
Mushfiq
Sakib
Riyad
Aftab
Naeem
Shuvo
Shafiul
Rubel

Aftab could be replaced given someone's extraordinary performance in the practice match.

[rashed411]

i choose option three because it has 12 players.

[Tiger Manc]

I'm not entirely sure which one to vote for as I don't know who you've classed as an alrounder and who as a spinner.

My Team:

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Imrul Kayes
3. Juniad Siddique
4. Mahmudullah
5. Naeem Islam
6. Shakib al Hasan
7. Mushfiqur Rahim
8. Suhrawadi Shuvo
9. Abdur Razzak
10. Shafiul Islam
11. Rubel Hossain

3 batsman + 4 alrounders + 1wk + 1 spinner + 2 pacers

[fwullah]

My question is, will Aftab be left alone for the test series after his batting performance against England in the 3rd ODI?

Yes!! One spinner on #3 and two pacers.

Request to Mods: Can you edit the poll questions? Also the last option don't count to 11. It should be 3 alrounders (spinners) + 1 alrounder (pacer)

[Catskills]

No Razzak and No Aftab in the test. RazzaK is not a test material, we have seen enough. Aftab is not anything material. His last 46 does not count after flopping so many times.
And no Enamul Jr. I would rather like to see Shuvo playing in the test. Please bring some new faces like Faisal, Juhurul and Forhad.
Although Imrul is doing fine in ODI, I dont think he is a test material. His domestic performace is pretty good in List A, but really poor in first class match.

[BD-Shardul]

My team:

Tamim Iqbal Khan
Imrul Kayes
Mohammad Ashraful/Zunaed Siddiqi/Rokibul Hasan/Aftab Ahmed
Shakib Al Hasan
Mushfiqur Rahim
Mahmudullah Riyad
Nayeem Islam
Rubel Hossain
Saqlain Sajib
Abdur Razzaq
Enamul Haque Junior

[magic boy]

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Imrul Kayes
3. Juniad Siddique
4. Mahmudullah Riyad
5. Naeem Islam
6. Shakib al Hasan
7. Mushfiqur Rahim
8. pacer alrounder(Shahadat Hossain :p)
9. Enamul Haque jnr
10. Shafiul Islam
11. Rubel Hossain

[fais]

i rlly think we shud be drafting in Faisal Hossain instead of Aftab - Aftab is NOT at test player, he hits shots and thats great for ODIs and T20 but he can't consolidate

[Eshen]

4 batsmen: Tamim, Imrul, Zunaed/best batsman from practice match, Mushfiq

+3 allrounders: Shakib, Mahmudullah, Naeem

+1 WK: Saghir

+1 Spinner: Shuvo

+2 Pacers: Shafiul, Rubel

[Ajfar]

we desperately need a wicket keeper. at this point we shouldn't care weather he can hold a bat or not, as long as he can keep, we should put him in the team.

[BagherBacha]

i dont want to see Imrul, Zunaeed and Aftab playing together in the top order. only one can be played.

also, please no Razzak. we need him in odi. his carrer will be ruined if he plays test match again. umpire will have more time to observe him, and any fault they find, he will be reported

aqib javed praised highly abt Pavel abt his batting. i am not sure how good a wicket keeper he is. we can play mushy in the top order.i have noticed whenever mushy does bad in keeping, he fails in batting as well. it will be good for his carrer if bcb decides to play him as a batsman only

By the way, Mushi should come before Naeem, and Shuvo before Enam.

That's my line-up, now I can see three scenarios:

1. No. 4 can be Aftab, as he looked good today..though you may say one match doesn't count. But I liked the way he played today, so he can come no. 4 and Mushy no. 5 and the rest starting from Shakib are pushed down.

2. And if Aftab doesn't play, I would put Mushy in Number 4 and would like to see a new WK batsman for number 8.

3. And if someone does really well in the practice match, he can come at no. 5 (Mushy no. 4) and the rest starting from Shakib are pushed down.....or, the new player replaces Naeem, given that we have a new WK at 8.

Lol, dunno. I'm stil pissed

..and use a substitute fielder

[Gowza]

it's tough to figure out the test line-up atm. what are peoples thoughts on mushy batting at #3 (without the gloves)? we need better #2s and #3s in tests and if mushy bats at 3 then we can have and play naeem, riyad, shakib and shuvo in their correct places and include a specialist keeper. for example:

1 tamim
2 ?
3 mushy
4 riyad/naeem/shakib
5 ditto
6 ditto
7 shuvo/keeper
8 shuvo/keeper
9 - 11 the other bowlers (combo depends on the conditions).

if mushy doesn't bat at 3 i wouldn't mind see farhad or maybe jahurul being given ago, but jahurul should maybe be tried as the 2nd opener.

[al-Sagar]

well time for change with roqibul's 100

tamim
imrul
raqibul
mushfiq
shakib
riyadh
dhiman (batting well in the FC match)
shuvo
razzaq/enamul/saqlain/shahadat
shafiul
rubel

[kiriket]

My team will have 6 batsman+2 Fast Bowler+3 spinner

Tamim Iqbal
Jahurul islam Omi

Rakibul Hasan
Mushfiqur rahim
Faisal Hossain

Sakib Al Hasan
Sabbir Khan
Mahmudullah Riyad
Nasir Hossain

Shafiul Islam
Talha Jubayer/Rubel Hossain

Reason is, sakib can bowl for continuous session same as two SLA alone, since it is test. Rather one leg spinner and off spinner to try and establish young player in the home soil for future. It will give us 9 decent batsman.

[mishu]

we need to play one pacer because they have been so useless against england...

tamim iqbal
imrul kayes
mushfiqur rahim
Rock
shakib
mahmudulla
naeem
Shuvo
