All 11 players bowled in the 1s innings for Dhaka Division.

Even Gullu and Wicketkeeper Anwar Hossain bowled an over.

It atleast ties a world record surely. Has it ever been done before.

Only if Chacha was so imaginative while leading the national team.

>> Has it ever been done before.

First time in Bangladesh cricket. Happened quite a few times in first class cricket; and three times in Test matches.

Actually I thought Chacha was quite creative and shrewd as a captain. Go back and read match reports from the Australian & Paki tour - you'll see his acument mentioned. Problem is, unless you are pulling your own weight being super creative is of no use. Lack of producting on his own end totally took away from his other captaincy attributes. Want another example? Ganguly is arguably one of the best captains India has had, but when his own form suffers he comes off as alof and disinterested on the field.

I beg to disagree. He was probably inspirational at certain times, but not shrewd as a captain or even a tactician. He overbowled himself at some crucial matches. Multan comes to mind. He was worse in one days as he bowled in the death excessivley at certain times and got severly punished for it. I don't know what it was. Maybe he was complacent or had overconfidence in his abilities but regardless, the outcome of such misjudgements affected us negatively. I agree with what you said about his inability to perform and that is the reason why he was discarded. We don't have the luxury of carrying a non-performing captain. Actually Bashar already has a better record as a captain than Chacha. In the end, its the wins and losses that matter and Bashar won more than Chacha.

Funny! What was the match situation?

Chacha was as imaginative a captain as we ever had !! I'm sure 75% of the ppl in this forum will agree to that....When u talk about Multan...it was his captaincy and also his bowling(!) that got us into a situation like that on the first place....Whatever he did worked like magic....And u cant blame him for bowling at the death...we were desperate for wickets and the more accomplished bowlers were not getting the last two wickets...and more importantly he took seven vital wickets in that match cleaning the Pakistani top order...Just one example from that series:....How many ppl wud be handing the ball over to a leg-spinner like Kapali(Who until then didn't even bowl in that match; infact hardly bowled at that point of his career!) when ur trying to finish off a tail...The guy ended up getting a hattrick!....I dont wanna critisize Bashar but I still cant forget that 1 wicket defeat to the Windies last year.....Still find it hard to believe that instead of handing the ball over to Tapash he gave it to a part time spinner like Rajin in such a pressure situation...cheers....

I think our Captain and Coach should work out on getting bowled against "Hoggard , Harmison and Anderson" watch the Videos of "South Africa" tour or watch the videos of their bowling action and stuff . And only then problem can solved out and we might atleast draw a test ............
