Bashar is getting runs in NCL

Only one Bangladeshi has made it into the top 25 of the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for Test batsmen and that man is Habibul Bashar. After impressing with an innings of 71 in Bangladesh's first-ever Test, he passed fifty on ten occasions in his first 11 Tests. This superb start, when he was often the lone thorn in the side of opposition bowlers enabled him to reach the giddy heights of 24th place and 656 points towards the end of 2003.

Below is one more link from ICC. Where Bashar is still the face of Bangladesh batting.

All I am saying is Bashar need a chance to show us what else he can do for Bangladesh cricket?

HB is a proven performer. Others are not. You can not compare with proven one with green horn. Vaughn, Treschotic were ordinary in county cricket; but once they scored some runs in county cricket - they were called back and scored run for the national team. The problem with green horn is that we might unearth a Riad but also may find out that he is a Dickens. Let the green horn mature

and sharif is getting mad wickets. so what??

[betaar]

As long as Siddins is there Bashar is not getiing in. Foreign coaches don't usually like old players with baggage.....

[Fazal]

... but ... but .... he tends to like Ashraful alright.

My thoughts exactly. Bashar also hooking a lot less. Hooks and pulls were his downfall. I had a thread after the England series ("An impulsive hooker") in which I mentioned that every time he got a good start, he tried to hook and got out. He and Masood were only batsmen to score a few double digit runs. Mushfique had two brilliant FC knocks and then failed miserably in the test where he was inserted prematurely. From what I am hearing of Basher lately I have to conclude taht he has actually matured during his second chance. Why not try him atleast in the warmups and see what he can do.

I will not support bringing back Bashar. That will be a regressive step.

However, even until now, Bashar has been our best batsman, though others are catching up fast. I have always used Bashar as a kind of benchmark.

He is still the only batsman with a ratio better than 1/2 of 50+ scores in the number of tests he played. 27/50.

Junaid is the next best. I predict Mushfiq and Riyad will catch up soon. So will Tamim as soon as he gets rid of his "rush of blood".

Why is this ratio important ? It shows how reliable a batsman is to play a big innings. Ashraful's ratio as you would expect from his lack of reliability is less than 1/4 or 25%. So he needs to play at least 5 innings "on average" before you can expect him to score a 50. So given a "normal" Bangladeshi series of 2 tests [ 4 innings ], there is a more than 50% chance that Ashraful would not score a 50 !
He was until recently our premier batsman !!!

It tells you also Shakib's unreliability. Less than 20%. His manner of approaching an innings is very similar to Ashraful's. With the same consequence !

out of 6 innings 4 are 50's. This is an prime example of matured consistency which we need in our one down or 2 down batting position.

[Gowza]

no centuries but 6 innings, no not outs and still averaging 48 is pretty decent, he has performed at the international level so he's already somewhat proven he just needs to show that he's still capable of doing it. with these 50's he keeps reeling off, one century might be all he needs to get selected. would you take a proven ex-national over an unproven rookie? not saying bashar should be selected but he's definitely putting his name up.

[wiseshah]

make one century, i will think again

and please look at farhad and jahrul. out of 4 innings, 2 hundreds and 1 half century.

[rezwansyed]

We need Bashar for the no.3 position..BIGTIME! I have all my confidence on him that he'll not disappoint us...He is a true fighter, bring him back and also give him the test captaincy back!

I don't know about HB, but this statistic clearly shows where Ash and Shakib falls in consistency. Shakib needs to bat lower, where his mad batting style can actually help.

I think that both BCB and JS should be sent this statistic. I know I bring up Bradman too many times, but 52.5% (42/80) of his test innings were 50+, 36.25% (29/80) were 100+, 13.75% (11/80) were 200+, and 2.5% (2/80) were 300+ (and one 299*). I did not compute it for test matches (52), because then the numbers will be crazy! I am not expecting anything similar from our batsmen; none has been able to come even remotely close. But, 50+ around 35% of the matches can be a reasonable expectation from the top and middle-order.

I think that's the number of catches they took, no?

This is good analysis. Good work!

May I point out an aspect? Shakib should be compared differently with Ash and Tamim. Ash and Tamim is specialized batsman. Their role in the team is just batting and fielding. Shakib on the other hand has to concentrate on batting, fielding arrangement for every bowler as well as his, his bowling, opponents batting strategy. This responsibility does not allow him to concentrate on his batting alone. As a result his batting average will suffer. He may not be scoring 50 but he is taking 5 wickets. It happens to most of the Captain other than Ponting. Ganguly batting suffered, Bashar batting suffered after being captain. It was hard for both of them to gain the batting form back even after they are no longer captain. That does not mean they are lesser batsman now. They just need to find the form back.

Its how many Catches they took

lol, No. That is a stat they had catches for their team. Not getting out. Pretty decent fielders they are. That is all it says.

[rezwansyed]

I believe bashar scored a century in a ncl match. I strongly agree with the fact,its high time we bring him back to the xi. We realy need the service of inform bashar. And also give him back the test captaincy. Not only is he the best batsman of BD statisticaly, but also the best captain...

[detshoitan]

so do u think we should bring him back to test match or odi?

[Equinox]

Maybe he should lead the BCB XI in the 4-day match. If he can perform then I'll support his cause of a test recall.

he should be included in that game captain or not... see how he does... We need to look for future and also do some stop gap fixes...

[wiseshah]

Yes agree with equinox

[cricman]

He's 38 years old, move on ... the reflexes, the hand eye. It's all gone

It's been gone since 2007.

Unless he's been working out like a mad man, doing unique excersies working the twich muscles to get his explosivness back.

You think he can bat for 2 hours w/o getting weary?

Bashar of the 2003-2007 cicua could take a short ball at 90 mph and do some damage

This Bashar wouldn't survive the 1st pull shot he's faced.

Thats how big the gap is

Give him a try vs England in the practice, he deserves that much after that he should hand in his Retirement papers for the 2nd time to the BCB
