Those images seems a bit cherry picked tbh.

Pace is good to have, but aggression is equally important. An aggressive bowler can put fear in the opposition even when bowling between 130-140. Taskin has the aggression of a fast bowler. The look he gives, how he celebrates, how he knocks down stumps, the bouncers he bowls, how he reacts when hit.
All that makes him very different from our other bowlers.

al Furqaan · #**228** February 20, 2013, 02:20 AM

I'm worried about the guns. I know Tait was only around 140...but both Oram was around 125 (his normal pace) and even Bopara was cranking it up to 128 or so. Based on that Taskin's real pace is a bit low...only 80-81 mph. Hopefully he was bowling within himself for control, which was surprisingly good in the BPL.

Zeeshan · #**229** February 20, 2013, 02:29 AM

I'd say Tanvir_nus is being too nit-pickety. But I would love to hear Ian Pont's view on it and in general how the coaches rectify the actions. For a bowler to bowl he must be first and foremost, like any batsman, be comfortable in his self, with his own preferable grip, and his own preference of action. You cannot just go on telling someone 'oh your feet is landing at this-degree angle, drag it back' as it will not necessarily be the tweak one's looking for.

Ian once wrote how a fast bowler must be willing to bowl fast for fast bowling. :p

I'd much rather prefer "the part about his mental strength, bowling acumen, seam position, in-swingers and generating bounce capabilities" than just bodily adjustments.

I think this guy has showed a level of maturity that we can only dream of from a youngster. First time bowling to likes of Dilshan and troubling them in the process. Really impressed by what he brings to the table.

dark mage · #**232** February 20, 2013, 11:06 AM

He should atleast have been picked for the SL ODI. Frankly I m sick of seeing Abul in the national team.

ReZ_1 · #**233** February 20, 2013, 11:21 AM

Taskin is still young and fragile. we should not over burden him. But surely we should let him taste the international flavor. That will help him to develop quicker..

dark mage · #**234** February 20, 2013, 03:30 PM

Thats exactly why I said one days and not tests. Don't bowl him in tests yet as his body won't be able to take it but 10 overs in one days should be okay and a real learning experience for him.

Tiger Manc · #**235** February 20, 2013, 03:43 PM

I'm sure if he worked with a good bowling coach he can improve his speed, but it's still not bad for a 19 year old. Aside from Malinga, the SL pace bowlers aren't that fast and they still do a good job. What makes Taskin lethal is that he seems to have good control and can seem the ball.

Taskin -next best thing after sliced bread!

salman2510 · #**237** February 20, 2013, 08:21 PM

he is still very young, all he needs is someone like Wasim Akram or Glen McGrath to show him the right path !! If he gets the proper training like Wasim got from Imran Khan, he can easily take the 2nd over after Mash

This used to be the signature of a well known BC Member "Sydney". well, not the exact words, but something quite close...

Sydney is still here. He is changing nappies at beginners level. (Sticker side always goes on the back bro)

Rifat · #**240** February 20, 2013, 09:26 PM

no worries man, Sydney is now a BC staff!

max410 · #**241** February 21, 2013, 12:51 PM

He many not get chance because the board may think he needs more experience but we dont have any good pace options anyways .. we need to develop this guy for the team..
his front on medium pace action is what exactly we need to keep the bowl in good line and length which shahadat struggled over the years

Fazal · #**242** February 22, 2013, 10:10 AM

He should be included in the preliminary team and may be in T20 and ODI team for final selction.

But I am not disapointed as eventually the Selectors have to select him eventually, there is no way ignoring him for too long.

Rifat_02 · #**243** February 23, 2013, 05:27 AM

Is there any cricket for him after BCL? If not then he will basically be rotting in the sidelines with little competitive cricket to play unless they take him to Sri Lanka. Brilliant plan to improve his bowling

Dhaka Premier league is right around the corner. Tazzo needs to build up his strength and endurance by playing more domestic matches.

tanvir_nus · #**245** February 23, 2013, 07:35 AM

I am not sure playing him in the BCL is such a good idea. He just finished playing the BPL and DPL is around the corner. He will be part of the Zimbabwe tour for sure and will play for Bangladesh in the next year's world cup. I still consider BCL as a non-competitive tournament. Well if he is playing, I hope the captain uses him in short busts. My only worry is his workload and risk of injury.

vai he played only 4 matches in BPL

and bowled only 15 overs against north. shouldnt be a problemo

BengaliPagol · #**247** February 23, 2013, 07:03 PM

This guy has taken his form into the BCL as well. And also when he gets someone out 80% of the time its by getting them bowled.

Fazal · #**248** February 24, 2013, 12:07 PM

Will he be selected for ZIM series?

That will be the ideal place to introduce him to international cricket. He should be used in short spells only though.

Bowl him in 4-5 over spells in Tests, and similar in ODIs. No point playing him and risking injuries in T20s, but I'm sure management has other ideas.
