A need for a new vice captain

playmaker · #1 March 12, 2012, 04:45 AM

Well guyz, im afraid to say that if their really has been any non performer in the team in recent times its Mullah the VC. Ive hardly seen him scoring runs, or getting the team in a good position from dire situations. If such low quality player is our vice captain then I dont see how we can ever be called a good team

Plus, as he is vice captain, he will be in the team and will always perform poorly putting pressure on the team. Thus, blocking ways for other quality cricketers to get in. No matter how well you do in domestics, intl cricket is the real deal. You dont perform, you get kicked.

Id say any of Mashrafee, Sakib or even tamim take up the post for the team's sake.

You need to add the option, other...

You do realize that the series is not yet over right? Give him at the very least a full series.

Things are fine ATM, and no Mashrafe - injury problems aside, he has at best a couple of years in him. So nope.

I would have said Shak, but he clearly doesn't want any pressure on him.

first tell me, what's the role of Vice Captain of Bangladesh Cricket Team ?

For a team like Bangladesh, we dont VC at all. Its just Captain on the field & Loitta off the field. Thats it.

Ideally, a vice-captain is chosen as an understudy and aide. To learn form the captain and to assist the captain in team selection, batting order, fielding selection etc. Ideally, the person chosen has a confirmed plcae in the team. Ideally.

In BD's case - it is either a reward or given because they could not decide whom to give. All it does is give the person with the role a feeling that he is indispensable and does not have to work as hard as the others.

Exactly my thought.

I think we should stick with Mahmudullah for the moment. Shakib should not be burdened with responsibility right now, and it's the same case with Tamim ofcourse. So that leaves no choice but to go with Mahmudullah.

**Zunaid** · #8 March 12, 2012, 05:15 AM

It's not a required position. How about, picking one from the remaining 10? That way - the 11 picked are there not because one of them is a VC and it allows others to learn decision making. You don;t have to pick from all 10 on a rotating basis, just rotate amongst the qualified.

make mash the captain and shakib the VC

Make sure Mast gets injured in the 1st match of the series

Shakib takes over....we havent lost a match in this scenario

Hahaha good one!

lets sack Mahmadullah from vice captaincy. Nah lets just sack Mahmadullah from the team. Actually ive got a better idea, lets just sack the whole Bangladesh team.

Im sick of this constant dropping of players. Miracle isnt gonna work overnight. When 1 player does good then we target the one that has been underperforming recently.

People were talking about Tamim and how he shouldnt be in the team and guess wat he makes a half century which makes everyone quiet.

We were talking about how Shahadat is a suicide option if he is in the team and guess what he takes 3 wickets tht shuts us all up.

No we are talking about Shafiul getting dropped? Even Mashrafe?? And also Mahmadullah?? What is wrong with you guys.

Its only been one game!! Mahmadullah will score a hundred so that everyone shuts up and moves on with life.

why do we want to change every thing after every loss? you guys realize that if we actually did that then our u-14 team would be playing asia cup (with shakib as captain)... instead try to fix the player cause he is capable no need to change players or captaincy...

btw he got a bad decision in the last match...

playmaker · #15 March 12, 2012, 08:35 AM

Why I said a new VC is to be made is because Riad has been an underperformer any other youngster like anamul/mominul could easily take his place. I think he is a burden for the team, exact opposite of sakib

lamisa · #16 March 12, 2012, 09:44 AM

he stays since i dont see a better alternate

Dilscoop · #17 March 12, 2012, 11:22 AM

Harsh thread, but if we had to make a change, I'd get Mash, because VC to Shak is just disrespect!

zsayeed · #18 March 12, 2012, 11:33 AM

I did not vote, what does the vice captain do on the field when captain is there? I would like to understand that first.

Equinox · #19 March 12, 2012, 11:35 AM

Mahmudullah's role is purely ceremonial. Mushy, Shakib and Mashrafe are the three leaders on the field and it was pretty evident in the last match.

Absolutely correct. Sorry to say but this is a pointless thread and poll. We cant ask for a players head everytime he makes a mistake. Sometimes we expect too much from our players. Chopping and changing will only hurt Bangladeshi cricket.
