For the umpteenth time: Mushfiq at 8?

[tiger_club]

nothing to say at this point.. 2nd test will confirm his postion.. I would definately move him up 1 or 2 since our tail enders not doing well to support him

আমি মেহরাবের পরে মুশফিকের নামার কোন যুক্তি দেখি না। মেহরাব যে টেম্পারমেন্ট দেখাচ্ছে তার থেকে মুশফিকের মানসিক দৃঢ়তা তাকে ৬ নম্বর পজিশনে ব্যাটিং এর উপযুক্ত বলে স্পষ্ট বলে মনে হচ্ছে।

First of all, I consider Mushfiq as a specialist batsman. Just becuase he keeps doesn't mean he is not a batsman. And as a batsman, he surely deserve a promotion based on his form and the way he bats. He can hold one side and at the same time, rotates strike well. However, he hasn't shown much success batting with the tailenders for obvious reasons. I would like to see him bat up around 6 atleast. Mehrab will be useless as number 8 since he will just throw away his wicket going for the runs batting with the tailenders. I would rather see Enamul there. However, after such performance in this test, I guess we should keep this combination for atleast one more test. Batting order should be shuffled but same eleven.

I agree Musfiq should come out at the position of 4 or 6, he is no tailender, he is a genuine batsman who can go for long innings with this kind of batinng technique and tempo. If he is with the tailenders there left not much room for him to play long innings so which could bother him concentrating his long innings whic we all believe he is capable of.
