Who should be the "Finishers" in 6-8 positions?

[al Furqaan]

Pick your combination of 3 players or provide your own combination by voting "other (please specify)" and listing your prefered trio. The specific batting order is NOT important for purposes of the poll options.

[rashed411]

we need a Abdul Razzak!!

[Habib]

Well after watching Razzak's brutal 10 sixes today, all of our finisher prospects look like Javed Omar to me.

[Night_wolf]

there is a thread already about finisher...mods please merge this with that

[_Rafi_]

Riyad...I beleive in Siddons!

[nycpro96]

Ash
No Idea
Mash

[nakibahmed]

for now,i would'nt like to see anyone but Naeem/Riyad/Mashrafe...atleast for the first 3 ODIs against Zimbabwe,Naeem and Mahmudullah have both been producing good innings in the domestic circuit recently,and Siddons has backed them long enough to gain plenty of experience.Given one or both of them don't perform before the WC,i wouldn't mind a change.

My second choice would be to play Shurawardhi Shuvo,who i consider an all-rounder,or AT LEAST a prospect!

[Haru-party]

Ash/Ryad/Jahu

[al Furqaan]

haven't voted even though its my own poll...but i want it to go in conjunction with Eshen bhai's poll about the no.3 spot.

personally, i think its got to be one of two choices:

ash, riyad, mash or
ash, naeem, mash

there isn't room for both naeem or riyad, and if they both continue to fail in the lower order (they've failed 16 times in a row at least...but due to domestic form, they deserve one last shot), then they will have to duke it out with the Rocks, Jahiruls, and SNs for a top order spot. Riyad and Naeem have done well in NCL batting in teh top order at 4 or 5, not blasting cameos - which is the role that we need them for.

Naeem i think might have what it takes to be a top order bat, but riyad has work to do.

I think Jahirul should be competing for a top order spot, and if ash/riyad/naeem flop in the first 3 games of the ZIM series, Jahirul should come in as our finisher.

All in all, we have an awesome problem: too many performers and we don't know who to drop.

[Dilscoop]

Too many threads on this issue, but I bet JS is not even bothering about it. Lets bat 50 overs, 220 is good.

I voted for other. It should be:

Riyad
Jahurul
Ashraful

To follow the bowlers:
Mashrafe
Razzak/Naeem/Shuvo
Shafiul/Rubel

(Ashraful should be pick as a pure slogger, and as a spinner. And there should be one more spinner after him, out of Razza, Naeem and Shuvo. You can't have all 3 in the same XI. That's suicidal)

[Murad]

Mistake on the poll:

Ashraful/Riyad/Mashrafe twice

[Shaan]

Ash/Johu/Riy are best option in my opinion..

[Dilscoop]

Why are you guys putting guys like Jislam nd Riyad AFTER Ashraful? Ashaful should be the real finisher. Jislam and Riyad should come before Ash, and then Ash should come and finish things off. But if it's very end, only few overs to go, than Ash should go in

Poll is wrong, you got it all backward

[beshideshi]

You can't walk upto an ostrich and ask it to fly.
You just can't demote Ashraful at #7/8 and expect him to become a finisher. Also, he has shown absolutely nothing to claim the 'finisher' tag, I thought I won't say anything on this issue but using Ashraful as a spinner/finisher is a pretty self destructing idea.

We don't need an Ashraful who scores a quickfire 30 and bowls 4-5 overs, we need an Ashraful who leads the batting line up and the whole team bats around him, bat him at #7 and the latter will never happen.[ I know he is yet to become the responsible one, but trying to use him as a power hitter will just kill the slight possibility he has[of becoming responsible]]

He is a top order batsman and must wait till there is a spot at the top order, otherwise score massively to demand a spot at the top 4.

And about the finisher, I think 6-8 should belong to Mushy, Nayeem/Riyad, Shuvo. Shuvo at #8 because we have seen in the recent series the benefits of having a 5.5 man bowling attack instead of a 4.5 man bowling attack.

[shakibrulz]

Lol at everyone who chose Riyad as a finisher/lower order batsman. He should either bat in the middle order or shouldn't bat at all.

My choice - Ashrafool (he will obviously play, so better play him as a slogger), Jahurul/Naeem, Mashrafe

The guy has played 159 ODIs and still sucks - and you expect the 'Eid knock' from him to win games? So that means either you want to mess up the balance by still considering him a top order bat. If he got to play, he should play below #5 as a finisher.

[Dilscoop]

^^ Ya, we had him as a pure batsman, our batting leader for last decade, and he has failed there quite badly. It's time to move on. He is not a leader. He doesn't have that in him. Not everyone has the leadership skills, not even Sachin (ok that's unfair to say, because he was our batting backbone for a long time, and couldn't always live up to it, way too much pressure.) It's time to put Ashraful where he belongs, and use him to his best ability. He always did better from bottom 5.

Plus we have Tamim and other guys to our battin leader now. But yes we will LOVEE to see a CLASS Ashraful

[Dilscoop]

It's quite shocking how Matthew Hayden played the same amount of matches, and totally shined his career. I always thought he played like over 250 ODIs or something. He was just a bad as Ash at the beginning, but look how he finished things off. Can Ashdaful do it? He has at least 10-12 years left (age-wise), thanks to his early start

ya,but when Ryad is in a positive frame of mind he can be a real good finisher,like he did in the Triseries(Ind,Sri & BD)
But I think players like Ryad & Mushy(both r technically perfect) need more time to settle down so maybe they better play in the middle or top.

Yes riyad needs time to settle down so one odd innings won't do it at all. He has no intent to slog/get quick runs in the powerplay. But he can make a good middle order bat. And Rahim can bat much better in Powerplays from Mullah from what I've seen - he has that intent.

Tamim
Imrul
Riyad
Rahim
Shakib
Junaid
Ashraful/Jahirul
Mashrafe
Shuvo
Abdur Razzak
Rubel Hossain

This sounds a better lineup.
