Tushar Imran: Which position he should bat?

[vindeshi]

Which batting position should Tushar Imran bat?

[cricman]

You've got a few things wrong here Aftab spot in the order depends on the situation, I like him at 6 but if we are facing a big target then he bats at 3 else we save his fireworks at 6 to win a game. But I think aftab should stay at 6 because at 3 he's not that good

I think Bashars now offically gonna play at 5 from now on and Ashraful at 4.

Personally I don't like Tushar Imran I don't know why he gets recalled so many times, It's not like he's done anything special. I'd rather have Ehsanul who gets overlooked because of that Hat-Trick of Vass he never gets a chance in anything.

Tushar should not even be given a chance vs Australia because he screws up here, It's OVER! for him he won't even go to Africa to play vs Ken and Zim

Save him up for Kenya and Zim, It'll be a better way to build his confidence but if he must then your XI looks like this

S.Nafees
R.Saleh
T.Imran
M.Ashraful
H.Bashar
A.Ahmed
K.Mashud
M.Rafique
M.Mortaza
S.Rasel
S.Hossian(Plz no Razzaq!)

[moula]

totally agree with cricman's batting order. obviously, JO should not be in the team

[cricketboy]

IF tushar plays he should play at No3.

[Anher]

Tusher is not playing at least in 1st ODI...i Believe if alok failed in 2 consecutive ODIs then selectors might give him a chance in 3rd ODI.
JO is not playing in 1st ODI XI as well...but he will be 12th man. selectors have Only way to give JO a chance by dropping RJ. Who would like to do that?

1st ODI XI
Rajin
Shariar
Aftab
Asraful
Bashar
Alok
Pilot
Rafique
Masrafi
Shahadat/Jr/Razzak
Rasel

No matter what BD is going to win 1st ODI.

[scoilaheez]

im happy to see Tushar Imran back in the squad, as he is a fine strokemaker. He should bat at no.6

[Hatebreed]

If Tushar plays I'd like to see him at #3, Ash at #4 and so on. Although I don't see Tushar being played unless we can replace another player with a bowler or all-rounder to bowl complete 50 overs.

[Shaan]

my team is prety much same as IKU.. only prferene goes to Shahadat cause we have two spinners already in the team as well m.pacer Aftab, so why not trio MAS-SHA-RAS as new click!

[cricket_pagla]

Tushar for no.7 spot... he isn't that impressive 2 put em.. open or 3/4..

[Rubu]

Tushar Imran? The only position I see suit him is 12th.

[nannu]

he shoudnt bat at all.
a match against aussies isnt suitable to try new options.

[vindeshi]

There are so many views already in this poll where so far 13 votes have been made already and 30.77% want to play him either as opener, 1st down or in 3rd down. So this poll seems interesting as the poll remains same in so many options.

Probable team for first ODI in Ctg. from CI preview, unfortunately no Tushar Imran there.

Bangladesh (probable): 1 Javed Omar, 2 Shahriar Nafees, 3 Habibul Bashar (capt), 4 Mohammad Ashraful, 5 Rajin Saleh, 6 Aftab Ahmed, 7 Khaled Mashud (wk), 8 Mohammad Rafique, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza, 10 Syed Rasel 11, Shahadat Hossain.

[mildwind]

I would like to see Saleh coming at one down position and holds a tight grip if we loose early wicket. Then it is much easier for Ash, Aftab to play their game!!!! Imran on the other hand has the ability to open the innings. It is a question whether he can take the pressure. Understandably, he will be a bit nurveous after getting a chance again in ODI team, I am in agree with cricman for this match until he gets his confidence back.

By the way, there is a big question mark on his playing.

[DotBall]

3rd down would be a good place for him. Last time he played ODI he did not look very comfortable with pace. He has a bat swing that comes from the side and it takes him a fraction longer to bring the bat down. Although our pitch is slow enough for him to play at the 1st down I rather he plays at 3rd down and leave the 1st down to more experienced player who can handle the new ball.

[KaaL-PurusH]

i think AFTAB should play at no.3 in 1st match...if AFTAB wont perform then TUSHAR should b bat at no.3 in next 2 match.

[vindeshi]

Tushar Imran's good performance in the previous Srilankan A series will boost him to play in any position where Whatmore like him to bat.

[Sovik]

Tushar is a minnow basher. i don't think tushar will perform well against aussies

[irteja]

tushar in not playing in 1st odi.... even if he get chance tushar should bat at 6.

C'mon don't be so harsh on Tushar. I know he is a minnow bully, but he has better days ahead of him

I sure hope so. But so far he has proven himself to be the new generation rokon (i.e. a choker). He was never able to do anything against any quality opponent. I think I've seen enough of him, but hope he can prove me wrong.

[sar2005]

He will come as one down but not in change of Aftab. If Tushar is in Aftab will bat at number 4 (when we bat first) or number 6(when we bat second).

[Tanzie`s thoughts]

Only as 12th man.

In an ODI who the hell will he replace? Is he a messiah?

[Tanzie`s thoughts]

Shahryar
Ashraful
Habibul
Rajin
Aftab
Alok
Masud
Rafique
Masrafe
Shahadat
Rasel

Pls no Razzak or Tusar
