Bangladesh Batting Line Up

[Yasin.]

Tamim
Anamul
Soumya
Mahmudullah

Top 4 batsmen of our batting line up today. Continue with this batting line up and we will continue to reach 100 odd in first 25 overs. One of Shakib or Mushy needs to be there in the top 4, if not both. If a good start is achieved there is no reason why Mushy can't be sent as an one down batsman to be followed by Shakib. Instead half the innings went by, while two of the best batsmen in the team were warming benches.

There is a reason other teams play some of their best batsmen in number 3 and 4 positions. So far, regardless of whether the players were successful or not, you place your best batsmen to play majority of the overs.

NZ used Williamson and Taylor, Sri Lanka used Sanga and Jayawardene, Australia used Watson and Smith, England used Root and Ballance, South Africa used Du Plessis and AB Devilliers, India used Kohli and Raina, Pakistan used Hasris Sohail and Misbah even Zimbabwe used Masakadza and aylor, their best batsmen... but the genius that we are, the amazing team management that we have.... we have to use an unproven newcomer, and a decent batsman who never manages to set the stage alight, but just survives somehow.

We might go on to win this match, but this is disappointing. Your best batsmen need to get you the big runs, the hundreds..and this can be done when they play a whole lot of overs. Not when half the inning has gone by and they are in pressure to consolidate and to try to increase the run rate too.

Flop Four Today, unfortunately

Just Excuse Soumyo, may be...

[Max100]

i have doubt about sabbir. i think he is hit n miss. nasir could have been better. why mominul at #8. its puzzling

[Out_You_Go]

Ok, this is my analysis of Mominul's position today.

At first, lets understand that Mominul hasnt done much well at 3.

From what I understand, Hathuri probably wanted to try him after Shakib-Mushy. He wasnt sent in because that pair recovered the team and when we got going..sent in the hitter (Shabbir/Mash) to follow up with the run rate.
Had not that happened and one of Shakib-Mushy would have been out earlier, then Mominul would have been sent in to "consolidate" the innings (how much ever he could have) whereas the other went after the bowling.

This is probably the only thing that comes to my head. However, I can be wrong. But such experimentation wont work against Aussies. We need too have a clear order in mind.

[NoName]

Top order is a complete mess, our lower order failed too ( could have gotten 280ish). Thank god for Shakib and Mushfiq for saving our a**. Don't think we'll ever see a match-winning performance from Tamim in LOIs again and Anamul is just.... Sarkar did alright, as he tried to pick up the score, Riyad was vintage Riyad and Shabbir was extremely disappointing. Mominul just seemed to there to fill a spot

1. Tamim

11. Taskin

That would be my squad

[Gowza]

Push mushy to 3, bat him higher so he bats more of the innings, then we'll see a 100+ score instead of a 70 score. I'd still keep riyad at 4 for now. Anamuls spot is really up in the air, soumya should possibly open with tamim instead of anamul. Nasir at 6, still go with sabbir at 7 because he can hit big better than nasir. However if only one of nasir or shabbir play I'd pick nasir at current. Riyad bowled really well, could almost count on him for 10 overs a match but the main question is whether it would give the bowling enough fire power to bowl out the better teams or do we need to pick another specialist bowler.

[BengaliPagol]

Id also would want mushfiqur at no. 3 but it just will not happen at this point in time

[Yasin.]

I know this won't happen but I had go with:
Tamim
Soumya
Mushfiqur/Mahmudullah
Mahmudullah/Mahmudullah
Shakib
Anamul
Nasir
Shabbir
Mashrafe
Rubel
Taskin/Al Amin

Anamul can hit big too. Give him the freedom to go after a bowling attack lower down the order perhaps... of course this won't happen but won't be too bad to see. He has hit 15 sixes in ODIs while Nasir [who always comes in the death overs when quick runs are required] and Mominul and Sabbir together has a grand total of 16 sixes.

I also like your 11. Only thing is I would demote Riyad further down like they used Mominul in the last game. I would like Mushfiq at #4. he will have the time to start slowly and then take the game to the next level.

I am not sure which Nasir we will get, but I am ok to try our luck with him. Anamul so far looked over hyped and not a complete player. His inability to take singles is painful to watch... he tales too many dot balls for my liking.... he also looks shaky as an opener.

Assuming the match against Australia will be washed out, we need four pacers against Lanka (and no, I don't think Soumya has much to offer as a pacer, thus we need Al Amin too). I don't think this defensive ploy of playing an extra batsman, sacrificing a bowling spot will help.

Tamim
Soumya
Momin
Mushfiq
Shakib
Riyad
Sabbir
Mashrafe
Al Amin
Rubel
Taskin

[Gowza]

Having seen soumya bowl in e last match he's someone who can bowl a few overs but he's not a genuine all rounder, we can get away with him in ODIs but in the longer format he wouldn't be in e all rounder bracket.

I'm thinking open with soumya now, do we give anamul another chance? Anamul can block but soumya did look more impressive all round.

Mushy at 3 for me with shakib and riyad in the next 2 spots, nasir to take the #6 role, sabbir the hitter at 7.

Then with 4 specialist pacers we still,have plenty of spin options with riyad, shakib and sabbir/nasir if we have to.

The biggest question with this line up would be do we have enough wicket takers with spin, or do we need another specialist spin option.

[Gowza]

I'd like to see liton brought in as opener after the World Cup, see how he goes, unless of course soumya or anamul cement a spot up the order in this World Cup.

[Mas_UK25]

The problem having Mushy up there, you leave a long weak lower order. No, i dont trust none them after Shakib. Mushy is more reliable, plus he knows his role down there too, and packs a punch.


I'd go with :

Tamim
Sarkar
Mominul
Riyad
Shakib
Mushy
Shabbir
Mash
Rubel
Alamin
Taskin

[Mas_UK25]

Is it me or has any one seen Shakib and Mahmudullah bat together well? Cant think of any innings from them two in a good partnership!

[Gowza]

Nasir has been a proven international performer, even with his form slump his stats look good, he got a bit form form back recently so I'd give him a chance at the 6 spot. I trust nasir at 6 more than I trust mominul or anyone else (other than mushy) at 3.

[RazabQ]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We cannot afford to play both Huqs. And much as I would like to get a 4th specialist bowler in (instead of relying on Riyadh, Sowmya and Shabbir) I do not see anything from our lower order to give me confidence to do that. I would find a way to get Nasir in. We have a genuine allrounder in Shakib. We _should_ be able to manufacture 10 overs hout of the 4 part-timers.

My lineup? And yes I know I'm all alone in this one
1) TiK
2) Riyadh
3) Soumya
4) Shakib
5) Mushy
6) Anamul
7) Shabbir
8) Nasir
9) Mash
10) Rubel
11) Taskin

[Habib]

Whatever is the line up,we must ensure that Shakib and Mushy get a chance to bat together. Their partnership is the most prolific for us, kind of like Sanga- Jaya partnership for SL. And I would pick Nasir in place of one of Anamul and Mominul.

[betaar]

I don't think just changing the batting order will do us much good if players thinking and intent do not change.

[Jadukor]

All the other teams are getting fast starts and posting big totals while we are putting pressure on the middle order. The openers have to address this issue

[jeesh]

Against New Zealand or Australia this is a good lineup. But against Scotland, England and Sri Lanka, an extra spinner in place of one of Nasir/Shabbir wont be a bad idea.

We just played one game and got the monkey off our back. The team was watchful. I am sure the strategy will change as the tournament progresses.

[Nadim]

hasing 300+ and you bring shak at 6 and mushy at 7. Sorry I'm not a fan of Haturi. I don't get this stupid batting order.

And how the f£££ Mominul plays ahead of Nasir. Mominul couldn't even score runs in dpl the.
