BD 'A' lost the 1-Day game vs Customs

BD 'A' lost the 1-Day game vs Customs taking 5 bowlers.

1) Monjurul Islam Monju
2) Gazi Alamgir
3) Alamgir Kabir
4) Mosaddek Hossain Rubel
5) Jamal Uddin Babu

In the above 5, although Jamal Uddin Babu is an all-rounder, but how can an all-rounder do a specialist batsman's job?

Are they sure it's Monjurul Islam Manju ? The bowling shows it is him and does show the difference he made, doesn't it ? If it's manjurul Islam Rana, good for him too.

IF Manjurul manju keeps on this show in the four dayer and the one dayer, I'd suggest Dav to take him back - whether he likes manju's style or not. We really don't have much of a line up for the national team either. Masri is out and Tapash is all over the place. Manju can still pair up with Tapash and his experience enough should do the trick.

Mind you, the only reason Manju was drpped was for negative (passive) bowling, not cause he was off form.

Yes, it is Monju. He came in with the second batch.

The bowlers did very good in this match. Manju took 3 wickets and Customs were all out for 172 runs.

However, our batting sucked and we were all out for 137 including giving the vicious Paktani bowler Zunaid Zia 4 wickets.

They scored 118 in the first innings of the 4 day match including a hattrick by a Pak bowler! I doubt the opposition is that good since our bowlers are also getting them for under 200 so far. The batsmen must be just throwing wickets away.

I am actually quite surprised to see BD A right at the bottom of the point tables in both format... This is a downer... but bidyut's performance is worth noticing... He has to get his place back in the National side

and did they bring back Manjurul islam Rana...? this dude is a good all rounder...

Actually Biduyt has performed progressively worse against progressively stronger oppositions. I am not taking anything away from his priliminary big scores of 218 and 84, but after that he couldn't even pass 15 runs in the next three innings.

Check out the stats page for a better assessment.
