How can he prove you wrong if he stays out of the team?

I don't think increasing your muscle mass makes you faster. There are two kind of muscle fibre in your body - red (fast twitch) and white (slow twitch). For fast bowlers, as you can guess, you need a high percentage of red muscle fiber. Although by endurance exercises you can increase red fiber by a small percentage, proportion of the muscle fibre types in your body is largely inherited. Rasel, in his life so far, has played so many matches (club, age group, FC, A-team, national team) and bowled so many overs (which is a very heavy workout), he should have reached the limit how much he can improve muscle fiber composition in his body by now.

Sohel bhai, I always enjoy reading your posts. But isn't it hasty to write Nazimuddin off after watching him in only two FC innings ? As people already said, T20 performances should not be given too much weight (in the good way or the bad way).

Sohel is taking this kapali thing to a whole new level. He is not nearly as wise as his writing skill suggests. It fools many in this board including himself. Sorry that i had to say it.

Have you seen the number of times he plays across the line gets plumb in front, the way he fishes at deliveries, the way the he plays the drive uppishly
makes me wonder what's the definition of talent to you

It is true that he plays the hook and pull shot well but he had problems with swing bowling right from the U-19s and still has (I am not basing it on T20 performance but what his coaches right from the age group level had said). Did you remeber the time he was demoted to number 6 from top order just because of his incapability to play swing bowling some years back.

Pace has nothing to do with technique as it is a natural thing. This guy can move it both ways and has all the variations but just not blessed with pace.

He is technically pretty poor. He was talented with great hand eye coordination but he had a technique that's crap. Not his fault as he started his caeer in an era where they practiced in concrete pitches and frequently player matches in astro-turf. God knows how good he would have been if he had the guidance that Tamim, Shakib are having.

Who knows, maybe the interestingly named Marshall Ayub*, not quite good enough to feature well in domestic First Class cricket, is indeed the next Shane Warne?

Quite distasteful. Just because some one said something unknowigly doesn't mean you have to make fun of it all the time.

BTW he is technically more correct than his brother and Tamim. Have you ever seen him bat?

I agree with u. but i think he is trying hard to prove himself. A fit and inform kapali is consider an asset for the team. Actually i was also pissed, when i saw him, not performing in the last tour and 20/20 (which doesnt count much). I think he deserve another chance, if not ODI, it can be in the test matches. I am against too many new faces in the team. i think player should be more experienced before they get international cap.

on top of that we have a national disaster back home.

Yeah..Asad..what's the matter with you? All your fault buddy..
We are all a bit bored. No games. Got it handed to us all summer by India and Sri Lanka. As soon as Siddons joins and camp starts, fugget about it, lets go hunt some kiwi birds? Shall we?

I wanna say something to all the members. please everyone here in BC, Would you try to stop this. if you won't then provoke either. i have seen that both Sohel_NR bro and Miraz bro that when in a thread they stop posting or forget about that suddenly someone come from nowhere and give it a pinch. if we can't stop them then we should not proboke them either. have fun.

Well Habibul is not definitely technically most sound player, but he is not a technically poor player (or technically limited) either.
Except sharp incoming deliveries and rising deliveries outside the off stump, Habibul can easily handle most other type of deliveries, and he has got almost every shot of the book. Moreover he is a pretty good player of spin.
Now the way he plays, sometimes his defensive technique looks poor and he keeps missing the rising deliveries outside the off stump while trying to cut them, this is a part of his game. He is a compulsive hook or pull shot player which is another weakness, but that's his style of play and he has scored good amount of international runs with these two shots.
Everyone has weaknesses, Habibul sometimes exposes them but compensates well with the help of an excellent hand-eye coordination.

Cant agree with miraz bhai on Habibul Bashar. He was by far the most technically deficient player to successfully average over 30 in test matches. He was always committed to the front foot and had a very awkward way of executing his shots. When he played the pull or hook he was still committed to his front foot but just managed to transfer the weight behind . Habibul Bashar er technique kono dik diye bhalo nah. He had terrific hand eye coordination which made him successful IMO.

Hahaha cheeky !!! I meant at the international stage as in playing for A team or developement squad against international opposition in foreign pitches and being successful consistently. Only then we should allow him to come near the national team. However I am certain he will fail miserably and wont be proving me wrong in this lifetime.

Hahahaha.. I am happy as long as someone from Bangladesh averages over 30 in Test matches with whatever technique he plays.
Bhaijan, it's true that he occasionally looks awkward but he plays some good shots too, still can't forget his pull shots against Shoaib Akhtar when Shoaib was in his prime.
What about his shots against the spin? Shots over the extra cover with the use of feet or over the midwicket with ease?
Nah! I don't see that much deficiency in his technique, and you know I am a lifelong Habibul fan

it seems that Sohel Bhai is proving like Alok. All grace nothing concrete. j/k.
Seriously I wonder why people are still supporting Alok. Supporting JO may be still some sense (Spitty do not attack me) . He occasionaly score 30s by going defensive in ODI and offensive in Test. But what is highest score of Alok in last 30 international innings.
Regarding Nazim is not sample size too small (2). if I take the same measure Alok would have been pathetic. In longer version in NCL Nazim still has better average than Alok.
