Your squad for 1st Windies Test (w/batting order, plz)

al Furqaan · #1 June 23, 2009, 04:04 PM

1 Tamim
2 Junaid
3 Mehrab
4 Raqibul
5 Ash
6 Rahim
7 Sakib
8 Mashrafee
9 Shahadat
10 Enamul
11 Rubel

If any pacer struggles, bring Robin in for the 2nd Test. But otherwise the team is set. Riyad can come in for whichever batsman fails.

Murad · #2 June 23, 2009, 04:13 PM

1. Tamim
2. Junaed/Imrul
3. Raqibul (Yes he is a good 1 down batsman)
4. Ash
5. Shakib
6. Riyad
7. Mehrab/Rahim
8. Sahagir (wk)
9. Mashrafe (c)
10. Shahadat/Mahbubul
11. Enamul Jr

We don't need 3 pacers in WI wickets.

2 pacers (mash and Shadadat/Robin)
2 spinners (shakib and Enamul)
Part time spinners ( Riyad/Ash/Mehrab/Tamim/etc)

Fazal · #3 June 23, 2009, 04:17 PM

1 Tamim
2 Junaid
3 Raqibul
4 Mehrab
5 Sakib
6 Riad
7 Rahim (Ideally I would like to have Naeem here)
8 Pavel
9 Mashrafee
10 Shahadat
11 Rubel

The goal is to get a draw in 1st Test.

If that is achieved, in 2nd Test, add one more bowler (Enamul Jr/Robin) removing either Pavel or Rahim.

Obviously the best lineup possible because it has been chosen by me:

1. Tamim Iqbal
2. Junaid Siddique
3. Rakibul Hasan
4. Shakib Al Hasan
5. Mohammad Ashraful
6. Mehrab Hossain Jr.
7. Mushfiqur Rahim
8. Mahmudullah Riyad
9. Mashrafe Mortaza
10. Rubel Hossain
11. Mahbubul Alam Robin/Shahadat Hossain

Gowza · #14 June 23, 2009, 05:42 PM

1 tamim
2 imrul/junaid
3 raqibul
4 rahim
5 shakib (vc)
6 ashraful/riyad
7 pavel (wk)
8 mash (c)
9 alam
10 rubel/shahadat
11 enamul haque jr

there is too much pressure to play shakib as the only spinner and riyad isn't good enough to take that pressure off, so enamul is included for those reasons. i'd like to see how rahim does in the vital #4 role without the gloves (reckon there would be too much for him to handle if he had to bat there with the gloves). i'd like to give imrul a couple more chances since junaid hasn't been showing much for awhile, ashraful can maybe get one more chance batting in his best spot mainly because he's got some test hundreds to his name and the others haven't (otherwise just play riyad). shakib bats at 5 because he's still a vital player to the batting line-up but you don't want to overburden him by batting him in the top 4 since he's also vital with the ball and has only just got the vice-captaincy. rubel, i'm not sure whether he's ready for test cricket so it's a toss up between him and shahadat.

this is exactly my team. though i would like to see rokibul as 1 down and mehrab after him .rest are all ok even the extra.

wiseshah · #19 June 23, 2009, 08:46 PM

if u want to beat west indies. u have to use spin as lethal weapon against them , they are not so good at spin, so sakib and enam jr both should play and as a part timer mash should use mehrab jr and ashraful (few overs). if nayeem was in the squad, he is definitely main XI candidate because of his allround ability. i think he is 2nd best allrounder in the team after sakib.

Imteaz · #20 June 23, 2009, 09:26 PM

It is not possible to judge by sitting here. Team should be selected after watching the pitch condition of that particular day that our captain/team management will do.

yeah naeem is probably the 2nd best allrounder in BD atm, i think riyad could do some bowling before ash or mehrab though, that is if he's in the playing XI.

Tigers_eye · #22 June 23, 2009, 10:02 PM

However he is the third best alrounder in the country after Shuvo at this moment. We can wait another two years before he takes the world like a storm.

Ashraf-FTP · #23 June 23, 2009, 10:05 PM

Tamim
Ash (maybe we could try him in opening.. it would also be a left/right combo)
Mehrab
Raqibul
Sakib
kayes (or Zunaid)
Riyad
mushfiq
Mash
Rubel
Enamul

hard to put shuvo ahead of naeem as an allrounder since we haven't seen shuvo at the international level. naeem has really good potential with both bat and ball and is a good fielder, the goal should be to get him to a similar place to where shakib is now. shuvo is untested at the international level, he's probably a better bowler than naeem atm, but naeem has much better domestic records with the bat than shuvo does.

Purbasha T · #25 June 24, 2009, 05:20 AM

Tamim
Zunaed
Rakib
Mehrab
Ash
Shakib
Rahim
Mortaza
Robin
Rubel/Rajib
Enamul

If 2 pacers need to be played, then Shaghir can be tried as a wickie and Rahim can be in as a batsman.
