I like this team. Only thing is, I would rather try Hom instead of Rokibul. Not that I dislike the inclusion of crybaby Rokibul.

But I think we need to fing out a way to check out Hom and see what he has to offer (if anything).

[Tiger444]

I see this being the lineup for the 1st test

1. Tamim
2. Imrul
3. SN
4. Rokibul
5. Mushy
6. Shakib
7. Naeem
8. Nasir
9. Shuvo
10. Shahadat
11. Rubel

I dont want to expect much from this test. Every time we expect them to do something they let us down. The expectation was really low for the 3rd ODI and we have seen the result. And WI will be back with lots of venom. Be prepared to see many short balls and some deadly bouncers..

[dash]

we should go with three pace-man....but naz is not test quality.........

[Banglaguy]

Well, actually, his test bowling average is better than Rubel's and Shafiul's, give him a chance.

[wiseshah]

i like one thing abt najmul: with his limited ability, he always try his best and give 100%. i think he is more suitble for ODI and T20

[Banglaguy]

Make this pitch full of demons... We play spin better than the WI's.

[wiseshah]

shuvo will bring extra strengh in test squad. his bating totally suitable for test plus his bowling is better in longer format.

where is enam JR?

Really?...danis kaneria may disagree

[wiseshah]

it will be tough match but i think we can manage another win. need to rotate spinners like shakib-naeem-shuvo-nasir-elias (if he plays) plus shahadat and rubel

Good Luck Bangladesh.

Bismillah! There is high possibility that this match will be washed out or a DRAW. heavy rain is always on at ctg and im sure there will be rain during and before(next 3 days) the match..plus drainage system at ctg sux so i can assume this will end up draw. Allah Malik!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

BTW NEVER GO WITH 2 SEAMER IN A TEST MATCH!!! there is high possibility that one of the seamer might get injured and u have to rely on only pacer, which can backfire most of the team.

So even through i know Nazmul won't be as effective as he is for ODI, i would still pick him ahead of one of sunny/Shuvo. He will do good with the new ball and Shahdat and ~Rubel is there with the old ball.


My XI:

1) TIK
2) IK
3) SN/ Rok (No choice, although SN have more chance to play than Rok...so if Rok play, play him at 3)
4) Nayeem (Time to give him a run top of the order)
5) Shakib
6) Mushy
7) Nasir/Hom (Riyad is not there so im 100% sure one of them will make test debut in this match...both in the series)
8) Shuvo/Sunny (Any will do for me)
9) Shahahadat
10) Rubel
11) Nazmul

west indies line up probable

adrian barath
kraigg barathwaite
darren bravo
shiv chanderpaul
marlon samuels
dinesh ramdin
darren sammy (C)
fidel edwards
kemar roach
rampaul
shillingford/bishoo

[nadim 98]

WI batting is inexperience...but their bowling seems strong as any other top test teams.


Our batsman should target to score 300 in every innings rathe than saying we will do 400/500/600...this will put more pressure...if we can score 300 on avg in each innings our chance of winning the test is much higher than them if you look at their batting...their batting is promising but inexperience for Test level.

[bujhee kom]

Bismillah! Allah Malik!
Jatra Shuru Shubho hoke!

[Rifat]

1. Tamim
2. Imrul
3. Naeem
4. Nafees
5. Mushfiqur(c) (wk)
6. Shakib
7. Nasir Hossain
8. SunnahMan
9. Shahadat Hossain
10. Nazmul Hossain
11. Rubel Hossain


must include three pacers in test! also, assuming that the pitch remains low and slow...I don't see any harm in giving Nazmul a go here... I am very very tempted to give Hom and Elias Sunny a go. wouldn't really mind if either or both of them are included... but we should have at least one experienced batsmen in the top order...i feel like Nafees deserves a go here. Experience matters especially in test matches. if MahmudUllah riyad was not sick and 100% match fit i would have excluded Shahriar Nafees.

[Rifat]

advice to Batsmen: Do not worry too much about fan criticism. or strike rate...do not worry about being too aggressive/defensive...just play within your comfort zone + play safe shots and score some runs..test matches are won by scoring runs.
