Rubel Hossain

[israr]

Am I the only one, or do people really think Rubel can open the new ball with Mashrafee in future?
The last time I saw him bowling against the Saffers in practice match, he bowls faster than even Mash or Shahadat in recent times, and he's got that abilty for 'penetration' as well.

And please, don't be under the impression that I solely opened this thread just because of his bowling performance today against Warwackshire.
Whatsoever, I have a gut feeling he's the bowler long needed by Bangladesh, but we've got to handle this lad with extreme care, and introduce him at the appropriate time into the national team.

What do you guys have to say?
