[Fazal]

BCB is turning around and making some good decisions one after another. Good to see that.

We have good spinners but if we give training them properly, all of them will be more effecive.

Though we need also train our pacers.

Those were very short assignments

Lol you seem to be very optimistic about the quality of our spinners. They are good, but not world class. Saqlain is there for this purpose

Pacers have been having specialist coaches for the last so many years. Still no fix

I would personally rate Bangladesh's spin department the second best in the world. Pakistan probably has the best spin department and i would think Bangladesh would just edge out England. Other countries in strong contention would be South Africa (Peterson, Tahir, Johan Botha) and West Indies perhaps.

As good as Rafique is, he doesn't know dusra. Enough said. Arm ball was his best weapon and our spinners already know that.

You ve missed out on the 2 teams that come after Pakistan-India and Sri Lanka. After that WI then maybe us. India is having a torrid time with spin, but that doesnt mean they dont have good spinners. They have very high expectations which currently no one is able to meet. They also have top class spinners who are also on the fringes. Pragyan Ojha will slot into any team of the world, but he cant make it into Indian NT. Same applies to Sri Lanka. There is a lot of talent which they havent exposed yet, but could easily play for a top team. We have a long way to go. India has dozens of Sunny's. We dont see them because of the competition there.
