If Rubel can't bowl with new ball, can't bowl in death, when can he Bowl?

Its 20 overs

Please for the sake of Bangladesh Cricket team..
Come out of Shakib.

Which idiotic captain bowls a pacer that averages over 10 per run in death overs?

Rubel has done decently during middle overs.. if you didn’t know!

Does well outside of PP and death overs!

You would assume Shakib and co look at this data’s before the game??

His performance was garbage again today. He has lost it at this format. Worse part is he is the captain! God help BD.

He's not, you're wrong.

Bad game or poor form doesn't define a player

This idea is flawed beyond belief, have you guys even played cricket before

A bowler should be able to bowl at the very least at start or finish

Middle overs are for spinners

Rubel can't bowl inside 10,can't bowl in last 5

He shouldn't be in the team to bowl 2 overs

What kind of jackass bowler is that

What kind of idiotic thinking is that from fans to think that's acceptable, no captain on the planet can work with Rubel in T20 currently

[Shadow]

Among the pacers Al amin Hossain has a pretty good record. But I don't know how he is bowling these days. He last played a T20I in 2016.

When you have limitation and you don’t have decent back up pacers, you try to utilise and use those pacers effectively! Shakib on the other hand gives opposition a gift in Rubel... I can’t understand how a captain can make the same mistake over and over again!

We don’t have Akram sitting in the bench.

[Fazal]

If some plays rubbish, then there is nothing wrong calling him a rubbish.

It has nothing to do what someone may have done 3 years ago.

Remember that game against England in the World Cup 2015?

[Shadow]

It's a problem for a captain when he cannot rely on his pacers on the death overs. For the last three years Bangladesh has been relying on Mustafizur.

Odis is different, bowl starts reversing after 30/35 overs

Was it T20 or ODI? We are talking about T20 (not ODI), aren't we?

You do know that was in the odi format?

Seems like easily satisfied with one heroic in life, forever for all format MAAF for any failures.

We have better players than Rubel

How do you get 4 overs from Rubel

If he bowled Ullah or Mossadek last overs and got battered everyone would have been shakib should have picked a front line bowler

Everyone is a genius after the event, why is it am one of the few who actually says this beforehand

We don’t. I have seen you suggest Taskin on the other thread.
This made nearly vomit...

You do know that last 3 season of BPL Taskins average economy rate is 9.5 per over??? Yes BPL! On those bowling wickets!! Against crap players!!!

And you want him to replace Rubel!!! Please!!!

If they can find a replacement for Rubel that would be great! Otherwise the stupid Shakib needs to use his brain when bowling Rubel! Needs to know when to bowl him.

[Fazal]

Our Core players are not good enough in T20 format. Even in their good days, they are not going to win too many teams. There is reason why we are in the bottom (below AFG) in T20.

If we want to win, BCB somehow need to find better players for the core team. Until then, expect more or less the same as today.

non-core players are not going to win or lose game for you.

Taskin is better t20 bowler than Rubel

Roy would be better

Al amin would be better

So you think a front line fast bowler should bowl 2 overs a match since he can't bowl first half or last 5 overs

And part timers should bowl rest

And if part timers got battered you would have complained they got battered and a front line bowler should have bowled

Bunch of hindsight geniuses here

Also you mention bpl, did you actually see them play

People also wanted jayed because of his stats in bpl, I watched him play and said he'll get battered, guess what stats doesn't show actual ability all the time

I have always said Jayed won’t make it in internationals.

Taskin and Rubel are same in T20! Both are garbage!

Roy the better of this two.

[Rifat]

Why does Shubhashis Roy get ignored? every chance he got, he did pretty decent...

Taskin would not get hammered like Rubel at the death, every game he got battered had many edges in it

Roys not even in the damn squad

[Fazal]

.... dont know about taskin...... he is another brainless FB doesn't use his brain.

Atleast Rubel once in a while throw some gem.

Replacing Rubel with taskin is one step backward not forward.

[aklemalp]

T20 is not the preferred format.

It's been a perennial Achilles heel.

Things could have changed if they managed to closed close games.

But the mentality and players not able to stay at the crease for 20 overs. Tamim was visibly tired in his forties.


All in all. That wicket was a tough one to bat on.

The spinners created havoc, while the batsmen created havoc on th quicker bowlers.

True. And still Sakib, the only spinner who struggled. And he is our most experienced and internationally accomplished player. And that's the sad part. A little bit better bowling from him and better bowling rotation could have trun the game towards us.

[adamnsu]

Our approach to t20 is quite poor.

The batting is always poor in t20. Tamim and top order batsman going for so many dots and no rotation of strike won’t help in t20. We don’t have many players who can really go after the bowling.

The pace bowlers struggle to get line and length at any part of the game. Spinners aren’t clever enough to bowl in the right areas.

Also we have a Captain who has poor game sense.

[DinRaat.]

Banner title should be changed from This.Is.Us to =====> Reaching.New.Lows.

[5tonne]

So Abu Haider and Nazmul Islam were the best performers in that match?
I didn't watch our bowling but watched the bowling until 7 wicket down. To me it looked like a bottom of the ranking team was playing against a top ranked team. I wouldn't say BD batsmen played recklessly, they just looked out of depth against Afghan bowling. They didn't know how to handle Afghan bowlers, even the experienced ones. I don't think a new head coach can change it. A new batch of players has to be developed and it has to start from the grassroots.

[Shingara]

As a sign of protest, let's re-use this 2nd T20 thread for the final T20!!!!
