He needs to get that big hitting form back... then we will have some fire power at the death...

Mash can still be economical, but he is no longer a strike bowler that he was. The man can definitely hit.

I am not sold on Kapali, but if BD is ahead 3-0, it would be worthwhile to try out some players, including the indomitable Alok Kapali.

Ashraful Shakib's trump card? He is more likely to be Chigumbura's secret weapon. Until my Ash-infatuation broke last year, I used to have high hopes for him. He has the best eye in the team and when he is on, awesome footwork/stroke. However, he has established that talent alone does not a player make.

Rock should be out. I can understand his role as an inning stabilizer, but he is not getting runs and wasting valuable deliveries. He is worth less than a player's sneakers.

[beshideshi]

I was wondering, why people[not only on BC, in general] have a fascination with Alok? He has done almost nothing in international arena, we talk about Ashraful's average being abysmal, Alok averages 17.69 and 19.83 in tests and ODIs. and his SR of 68.78 is 2 more than the ever so hated Imrul Kayes' SR.

Unless we can get past the love for these 'flashy' players and give chance to 'boring' players like Imrul, Raqibul, Junaid we will be chasing stability in batting.

Did you just say Ash has awesome footwork?
He has very good hand eye coordination & that's that.

Actually, in his best innings, he did use footwork, quite adeptly. Relying on hand-eye coordination too heavily was one of the things that led to his downfall.

Well we considered Asspoo as the bradman of our cricket for almost 10 years. Kapali averages only 2 runs less, so maybe he is not the bradman. Maybe the Sachin Tendulkar of our cricket?

Sorry but footwork is something that comes to a player naturally 'if' he really has that skill. Besides Ash's best innings were always built on hand eye coordination & a bit of luck.

based on stats alok kapali doesn't deserve a chance.... but people still believe in him because people remember his good knocks...and those knocks are some of the most stylish display of batting second to only Tamim...

if the boring players actually provided stability...nobody would actually complain...the fact is they don't... I wouldnt consider Imrul in this list because he has earned his spot in the team... but Raquibul and Junaid how can u call them consistent? they are as inconsistent as any of the flashy players

[lamisa]

so,no surprise for the WC i guess barring hom...

I disagree. Footwork doesn't just come to you naturally, especially when you're out of form. When in form, Ashraful is absolutely perfect technically, footwork and all, and anyone who denies that really needs to gain a better understanding of batting. His best innings' were not simply based on luck and coordination. Do give credit where it's due.

Alok got 65 games, with 6 50+ knocks, if you are willing to wait 10 games to get one 50+ innings, which might or might not win you a game, then we are not on the same line and arguing would be waste of time.
Instead, have a look at Junaid's average since last January[in tests] 33.31 and 25.21 in ODIs.


Raqibul has an average of 30.26 since January 2009, he has played only 4 tests in that period with an average of 22.5. So every game Junaid is scoring 16 more runs than Kapali in tests and 7 more in ODI and Raqibul is scoring 13 more in ODIs and 5 more in tests. Still if you are looking for the flashy players, go ahead, search that one win in every 15 games.

luck??? Cricket isnt all about luck?? Without luck do you think any player will be able to score 50 run?? Lets talk about shakibs last 100.. In that innings 3-4 time shakib got edge or mistime the ball and were in air but found no one... Thats not luck?? I think almost 80% big innings in cricket played by the help of this kind of luck... Or if u count drop catch as luck.. I cant remember any innings of ash except 62 vs Wi in t20 wc 07.. Thats also doesnot matter i think... In last 6 months almost every big innings of tendulkar, his catch got dropped, sometime several catches in an innings...
Note: sorry if their any grammatical mistake.. :p

However, chanceless innings are a joy to behold, were you to be so lucky. Every great batsman has played a few of these.

Very Very True Cricket_king.

His real problem is lapse in concentration. He is always distracted by something except those times when he does go on with the proper intention to play good cricket.

Ash on song is sublime. He may just have ADD.

I urge everyone to watch his Test 158 v India.

Ash has also given me ulcers.
