SA have included this guy. Does this raise the possibility of Rafiq's inclusion by default ??

If there is room for spin on this turf, and Talha/Tapash come back with decent analysis, would that then indicate positively of their development ?

have Bangladesh ever faced this unusual bowler before?! it would be interesting how we face his spin. Manjurul, taposh and talha re must...so rafique would have to fight it out with kapali. Good bowling can win atest match...but before that you need decent batting to draw a test match. Our bowling is nearly not good enough but our batting right now is pathetic...so we should focus on batsmen.

Left-arm spinner Claude Henderson will replace the injured Paul Adams in the South African team for the first test against Bangladesh starting in East London on Friday.

Remember a little known (or virtually unknown) bowler named Danish kaneria from pakistan ? Remember what he did to us where the tougher bowlers failed.
It'll be insteresting to see how much we can boost his stats in the test.

He got 5 wickets and over 30 runs. Then again it's not right to base him on 1 performance
