Exactly. I want to see a player getting in because of his form not because the guy he is replacing is off form...

[roaring tigerz]

Mushfiq is the real deal. He is here to stay. Live with it!

[Dhakablues]

Next test is not before 7 months, Bashar/Rafique is out.. in the mean time, Siddons himself needs to figure out our "Real Real" best XI based on real performance than relying on heresays and presumptive success and personal preferences by Selectors. I hope Mushfique makes it,, if not, lets not waste time on ANY, ANY AT ALL individual who is not the best we have... We must end this controversies about players selection that this new board started all over again.

Is Golam Mabud a wicket keeper?

I am not saying we stick with Mushi. But not sure if Dhiman is the right choice or not. May be K Masud still has something left to give.

We are not playing any test match in next 7/8 months, so Mashud is out consideration. If we are looking for an oneday replacement for Mushfiq, it has to be Dhiman.

Dhiman has made few big knocks, including a century, when the academy toured Australia. He is a capable batsman for sure, he just needs to become more consistent.

I heard him say in that interview that he will look into the local games next few months and not just for NTL but A team and so on...

[zainab]

Leave it to Siddons. I am sure that he will train another wicketkeeper/batsman to be in the national team, each national team must have two wicketkeepers. What happens if Mushy falls ill.

[imon]

Mushfiq is not in good touch either in batting or keeping. How he became the number 1 choice in case of replacement of Pilot? I don,t think his home cricket performance was very good. Why didn,t selector try with some one else as a keeper? Is there not enough wicket keeper in our country? Every new comer like Tamim, Junaid , Shariar Nafees, Shahadat has done some thing excellent. So we should have gave other keeper chance at least in practice matches.

[Baundule]

That way, we destroy our young cricketers and dump the better ones.
The first time Pilot was dropped (from the WC team), it was not for performance or anything about cricket, it was becauase of politics.
Habibul Bashar is destroyed with his captaincy, otherwise he used to be our best batsman by miles. He was completely enept in his captaincy and he needed a break from that job; but he was allowed to continue until he, as a player was also destroyed.

spot on!

[djnaved]

wow, ki jakanaka keeping, our golden dim missed two loppa catches yesterday

[zainab]

Mushy performed a monumental task behind the wicket, to be there for nearly 2 days. this is no easy feat. You guys only see it one way. SA scored 570 runs, long time for a young 19 yr old to be behind the wicket. have some compassion. How many extras did he give away?

Even the most experienced older wicket keepers will miss a few after keeping wicket for nearly 2 days. Can you guess how tired he must be. Wicket keeping is the hardest job for a player. You have to be fit and alert all the time and second guess the ball the bowler will bowl.
I dont think that you fans here should bash him so much, after all, he is only a 19 yr old lad and he has done this in so many tests and ODIs.

Get a grip man - Masud was gambling all night. That's why his career suffered.

Also, Cricket ain't your Davis cup. The team needs a captain, who has to play. You cannot expect to choose a captain out side of the top 11 and have him captain the team from the balcony. And Bashar was the senior most. Note also that under his captainship, the team did relatively better.

Bashar is finished because of his age, as he is the kind of player who relies heavily on hand-eye co-ordination. His performance didn't suffer in the first 2 years of his captaincy.

hmm that's what i see when mushy again missed two catches yesterday. And test cricket is a game where you have to field all day long,it's not about age. So, eishob boila luv nai.Bujlam shea 19 yrs old tana dui din keeping korse, kintu luv ki hoilo? ekto catch dhorte pare nai..o aro match chance paile, bd aro match harbo, no doubt about that

Shalar pichi Rahim kintu Rafiquer 100 number wicket tao miss korsilo, bhaggo bhalo Junaid catch ta dhorse. Thanks to Junaid and thanks to Rafique again for his great performance in BD cricket. Rahim ra dhoira laathi diya team theke bair kora dorkar eibar jadi batting pitcha boro score na korta pare.

Rafiquer ball a catch ta jokhon miss korsilo amar tokhoni icha kortesilo M Rahim shalar dui gale duita chorom thabra dei.

Both statements are correct. They happened simultaneously.

The little Rahim needs a break dearly if we want to save his confidence if any is left, I doubt. His keeping to rafiq was appaling not just in this test but he missed a few in previous test too.

LOL!!!! I think everyone felt that way!
He should really be rested.........
eto simple simple catch miss korey ei gadha ta

[KnightBD]

i am really frustated with mushi... he has been given way too many chances... i don't remeber any batting contribution from him after the game with India in WC. Siddon should look around for other options. He is too much an automatic choice now!!!

To be fair, that was an extremely difficult chance for the keeper because it was a thick edge...

I am really frustrated with the lack of runs coming from his bat... I suspected something like would happen when he was performing poorly in the NCL.
