Match Thread: Bangladesh-A vs England U19 Three Day Match, 6-8 July 2008

[Eshen]

The management should keep Imrul in England and send Rajin back home. If not as an opener, they can use Imrul as an onedown batsman for rest of the tour.

What were the selectors thinking when they made Zunaed the captain? The boy is looking to get his batting form back and instead they put the pressure of captaincy oon his shoulders Rajin Saleh, Syed Rasel or Alok Kapali when he joins later would've been a much better choice IMO.

Current BD selectors and "thinking" in one sentence- thats very rich, indeed!

[Tigers_eye]

Nadif batting before Nayeem? Even after the 100 Nayeem produced in Ireland? Just want to know which senior bolod accompanied this team (management)?

[MohammedC]

Rain stopped play

I dont think we will have anymore play today.

I don't think kapali is now joining this A tour...

[abu2abu]

I agree kapali would have been a better choice as captain. I'm very disappointed with Rajin's performance. A batsman of his calibre should be doing much better against England kids...

[MohammedC]

Congrats to Imrul Kayes. To score 62 under cloud against english bowler is not easy.

[sadi]

Good to see Imrul scoring some runs finally.

[Ajfar]

rajin teame thakte zunaed re captain bananor karon ta ki...amar mone hoi amader selector ra...hat er modhe thaika captain er naam choose kore..

[Roni_uk]

thank god for rain

[MohammedC]

Does anyone have any idea what is our playing eleven

To bat Mosharraf Hossain, Suhrawadi Shuvo, Nazmul Hossain, Mahbubul Alam, Mosharraf Hossain, Arafat Sunny

According to CI we have Mosharaf Hossain playing but he is still in Bangladesh. CI is so sure that they named him twice on list.

According to Bangladesher Khela Mosharraf and other flying on the 9th. I did not see Sakib's name on that list unless he is already here.

nice performance from our top order against competitive U19 ENG team. BD A will be a good candidate in next U19 tournaments and BD team will be a good candidate also in the same tournaments.

well said, agreed
cant understand why nadif is ahead of nayeem and i never seen nadif to score anywhere, he shouldnt be even in the squad, overratted player like dollar (for me riyad, shahadat is also), this shows, immaturity,unproffesoinalism even with our managent including selection committee, so obviously we r good only at under 19 level.

I would agree with you 100%. You are right they are playing like a novice but dont take nothing away from eng u-19. They are disciplined unit besides it has been raining bits and pieces all day all over UK plus it is windy . BD batsmen are playing under cloud covers in an open windy ground which they are not used to everyday.

But I am disappointed with BigZ. He is totally out of form.

[Sadz]

Zunaid has performed really poorly and how can it go down to poor form if it is against under 19's and ireland A? Nice inning from Imrul

[kalpurush]

Looks like Rajin is a sad story now!

I am not sure hwy they sent rajin in UK when they don't even give him chance in BD or asia. He never could play swing balls. He is better in Asian countries. So if you want to use him use in that condition. why even waste a place in the UK team when you know he have no clue when ball is moving... Again shows the short coming of the selectors...

Selim Shahed (manager), Osman Khan (head coach), and Minhajul Abedin (batting coach).

[Eshen]

I was very hopeful about Nannu when he joined BCB as a coach. But after watching how Chittagong sucks in NCL, Mohammedan in DPL, and now our A-team batsmen in England, I think it's time all those three teams fire Nannu and look for new coaches.

[Dhruvo]

Poor batting by Zunaed , I say we batted well considering the English conditions,just hope we do better in the next innings.
