Fuming -bad team management

[Huda]

This is test cricket we are playing why on earth for the 2nd test match running we are only playing 3 front bowlers. Now shahadat is injured , we only have two with an allrounder plus we decided to bowl first. Every other team plays 4 bowlers . If shahadat doesn't recover we will be lucky for any sort of result. This brainless management beggars belief

Nothing new.. Bunch of spineless cowards..

Amar mejaj khub karap. Haba guba selector ki kortese.

Leaving Abul out to keep Hom on this wicket simply doesn't make sense.

I feel the same....

Kind of surprised liton isn't playing given mushy's finger, hope mushy isn't playing under 100% just because he's threatened by another young keeper taking the gloves off him.

[Huda]

There was grass on the wicket, he selected to bowl first, and our batsmen are in form, so what do we do? select 8 batsmen and 3 bowlers and one now gets injured. Utterly ridiculous

Not picking Jubair makes absolutely no sense. Playing EIGHT batters makes no sense. This defensive mindset makes no sense.

Senseless!

I think we got it absolutely wrong

Yet every press conference your Golden boy speaks of offensive mentality. Talks about winning. I say well prepped.

Mushy has dual personality. One for the press and another for the real time captaincy.

All those people trying to blame it on the selectors, apparently they are also bamboozled by this bizarre choice to bowl first with only two seamers.

Selection panel members also could not find any logical answer behind the decision of opting to bowl first and according to them the line-up suggests that deciding to bowl first does not go in line with playing XI.

‘If we are bowling than why did we pick two pace bowlers,’ questioned a former national skipper of the selection panel.

‘We must play to our strength and also look forward so that opponent’s strength is cut short but that is not the case here,’ he said

‘If we are picking three spinners and two pace bowlers than it would have been right to bowl in the second innings because as far as I know spinners can be most destructive in the fourth innings,’ he added.

Ok thanks that only means it was Mushy's decision & that summarizes his captaincy :-)

May be this us his second last test match as captain?? unless we perform miracles against India

[jeesh]

Yeah disappointing. At least select Jubair in place of the useless Shahadat and get Soumya to open the bowling.

[One World]

Even with these set of bowlers in last 2 overs before lunch we created 2 sure fire chances, the fielding of Mominul at silly point was utterly silly to miss those, which is more disappointing.

our players are maturing ... but looks like team management and selectors are not ....

Is it not Coach and Captain's responsibility to select top 11?, if so it is not acceptable at all, may be Durjoy and Co are interfering!

The coach and captain are primarily responsible for the final eleven. Although there will be suggestions from Khaled Mahmud, Selectors. But final decision taken by Hathurusingha and Mushfiq. So pretty much on them.

[imtiaz82]

They should have picked Abul instead of Shahadat,which would have allowed to go with another spinner; i.e Jubair.

Modetai nosto hoye gelo eisob baje selection ar fielding dekhe

[Awla]

Still cannot phantom the idea why Bangladesh elected to bowl first & picked 2 frontline seamers instead of 3 and that too on a pitch with more grass than the odi's & T20!!
