Alok's Bowlilng

I am not sure why Shahriar Nafees is not using Alok as a leg spinner. When the home team was 72/, and there was no further break through, he should have tried out Alok. Even last night when we could not exert much pressure, Alok could have been tried. He may not be a Rafique, Moni or Enamul Jr, but he certainly is a useful spinner. Remember Pakistan? Remember WC (Vs WI)?

Well, actually, Alok himself has given up on the idea of being a bowler, according to his recent interviews (can't remember the sources). He said he had an identity crisis after that hat trick in Pak. Now he wants to concentrate on his batting only.

It is up to the team management, coach and his mentor(s) to nurture him as an all rounder. He has all the ingradient of becoming the best BD allrounder of his generation.

Yes, alok should not bowl.

If he thinks thats what causing him the problem (as long as he is giving an excuse to himself its fine, but if he knows in his mind that its not true but still say it thats not good). but it can be tried out. now, even though i've HUGE doubt in his ability, if he somehow manage to be what fans think he is, yeah, that would be a nice thing to have in the team. so he should given this chance in A team without asking to bowl.

I think he is in the team as a specialist batsman because they simply haven't used him.
