Jugantor reported there is a possibility that Faisal and Taposh is playing this match in place of JO and chacha!

Zephaniah · #3 September 2, 2004, 05:02 PM

Squad rotation. innit? You gotta give Faisal dude couple of matches to get him a hang of it. And at this point if you leave out Chacha, the most successful bowler so far...ahem, you gotta take Tapash in to inject some experience in the bowling line-up. After all we are looking forward to a more than convincing win.

Lets the party begin....

not instead of of javed omar..i don want javed omar out of the team

Rubu · #5 September 2, 2004, 06:12 PM

i do not mind JO out of the team for tomorrow's match. the reason is, he is vulnarable to injury. we need him fit for both matches in champion's trophy. for that if he needs some rest, we should give him that. of course, it all depends on how fit he is and will be make thru all or not.

FaltuRidwanBhai · #6 September 2, 2004, 08:43 PM

yea practice match should be for players who are on the border line of getting into the team. so JO is already in the team and there is no need to keep on testing him again and again. we should try faisal.

Skipper Craig Wright is reported to be again doubtful because of that injured knee. Ian Stanger has been drafted into the squad for cover. Without Hoffy today it will be interesting to see who they turn to open the bowling.

Nel came on early to replace Butt after he got some stick, started with a maiden and then went for 13 in his next over before being taken off, never to return. No Wright at first change that day and only four overs from him. Gordon Goudie, just turned seventeen, will be a brave choice as the replacement bowler in the side.

Will Coetzer swap with Coles again? This despite another encouraging prolonged stay at the crease in a 40 odd partnership after being dropped in it (again) at 70 odd for 5. Admittedly a meagre 13 but it was terminated by a daft run out and he had produced the largest partership in a low scoring innings.

Apparently the fielding also went down a notch despite Gregor Maiden being credited with two run-outs. So Stanger's all-round contribution may be sought.

Dougie Brown's 5 wicket haul for Warwickshire would have been useful. Nor any sign of John Blain or Kyle Coetzer summoned in a late dash up the A1.

Anyway we will see. Nearly the last game of a long season. 36 days of Scotland on the pitch nearly completed. A last effort? Oops, forgot about Dubai in November.

We desparately need to put 250+ on board today to give us psycholigical boost for ICC.

After all, normally these are the kind of total needed to win against big boys....
