Sunzamul Islam thread

[Yankees]

There isn't a Sunza thread so here it is:



Good job yesterday.

19 much needed runs (3rd highest)
2 wickets (should have been 3), 2.8 econ, and supported Fizz well from the other end.

It's too bad he's already 29. We have younger, better options. But he's earned another game atleast.

One of Haturi's experiment.

He's had a good BPL, so he is in form

[Zeeshan]

ase dekhi... ekhon kichui bolai mushkilll

[Eshen]

A better allrounder than Nasir

[BengaliPagol]

good addition to the team. Don't get why he gets hate.

Who are the younger, better options?

Names please, so that I can look them up and keep tabs.

With so many SLAs in the country, I'm surprised Shakib is the only top quality one.

doesn't matter as long as he can perform, we are the people sometime talk high of giving credits to Asussies team selection how they select their player after age of 28. And now we are talking it is bad he is 29. We need performer not the age! He is a spinner so if he can contain his physical shape and performance high, I see he can still can serve next 6-7 years, all depends on his fitness and the quality of performance, not the age.

fair point. Now let me tell you how it is in the real world. Age matters. If he produced the same figures I listed above at age 20/21, all of BD media would have hailed him as the next Shakib. But at age 28, he likely won't even get the next game. And if he does, he will have to play out of his skin just to be considered for the next series. That is the reality of it.

Yes he can contribute for the next 8 years or so, but will he get the chance? I doubt it.

Acc to cricinfo, he just turned 28.

Why stop at 29? Make him 30 already.



I was wondering if Arafat's int'l career is over. But Sunzamul can actually spin the ball and bat a bit. An improvement. Needs to be more accurate.

well that changes everything then. Don't I feel silly. Thank you for your massive contribution to the thread.

[jeesh]

SLA's always tend to do well against Zimbabwe. And yesterdays game was a turning wicket. Will be interesting to see how he fares against Sri Lanka.

Sunzamul won't play vs SL because he was picked exclusively for Zim, who're notoriously poor vs SLAs, and SL isn't weak vs spin. It'll be a pace AR vs SL instead. It'll have nothing to do with age. He'll play only if wicket is 4th/5th day test level slow after all these matches even with curation.

Again, who're these younger, better options?

Yes, I'm fully aware of why he was picked for Zim. Thanks once again for stating the obvious. My point is he likely won't be feature again given his age, including the next series against Zim.

As far as younger and better options: start with Moss and soon to be Miraz. Both younger and better.

Ar Ki bolbo. Some people are needlessly combative and have nothing of value to add.

Miraz isn't a SLA.

I simply pointed out his correct age. You're the one making a big deal out of it lol.

Never said SLA bud. Come on now, where's that razor sharp attention to detail?

[Zeeshan]

Shots fired naki ekhono amra howeight korchi?

[Roey Haque]

That boi got an uuuuugly action. I mean, sweet lawd!

Looks like a dart thrower.
Looks like autistic baseball pitcher.
Looks like a bad movie with several glitches in it.

[Rifat]

I liked his batting.
