Rajin Saleh should be moved up the order.

Rajin Saleh should be moved up the batting order from 5 to 3, coz he can hold a innings together. Hopefully he will be Bangladesh's version of Rahul Dravid.

If Bangladesh didn't have him we would have been all out for below 100 in 2nd innings for sure.

i also believe rana should move up. and at least temporarily sumon should move down until gets back his confidence.

Amusing. Well that's asking for a lot of work. Executing flawless shots with breathtaking follow thru.
He can aim for more practical tasks such as to work on his abilities to graft innings.

Rajin Saleh bats at 4, not 5.

and that is where he should be

someone is confused here, not sure who. rajin is batting at 4, ashraful at 5. changing the batting order is not going to help.

may be u are right, changing the batting order will not help. but don't know what will. we'll need something......anything. if we just keep going like this, doesn't look like we'll get a win soon. we've nothing to loose. why not trying batting order. who knows it might work. if not, oh well, same defeat as now.

I think our batting order is fine. We just failed miserably on the end of that 4th day. I just hope one day, and one day soon, all our batsmen fire at the same time. All these guys can easily score half centuries on any given day, but they never seem to do it together

Bd will never win now ..so we should give up test status

Navarene · #10 February 24, 2004, 05:04 PM

What a way to get off the mark as a first post, SS! Is it out of sheer frustration? Or you did really mean it?

Anyway, welcome to the message board.

**Nasif** · #11 February 24, 2004, 05:04 PM

Its your first post, so welcome. But there is really no point to the above post, is there?

No one is going to take away test status from bd, and neither are we giving it up. There is no point in mentioning this. We are here to stay as test nation.

What does Shumon know?

Whether you send him 1 down or 4 down, with 14/4 or 400/4 he would be doing the same things. He has only 1 gear. I wonder if there is any other 1 down in the world like that.

Rajin on the other hand has the gear shifting ability of a 1 downer.
