Strategy Room for the 3rd ODI. Strategize please.

[M.H.Rubel]

According to CI in pallekelle top five wicket takers are pacer. Our management has decides to go with our strength. So they are going with 1 pacer and 7 batsman. Its a bit contradictory,in that case why did we play with 3 pacers in 2nd test.
To me we should drop one batsman and play with 2 pacer.

If Mominul plays I want to see him at no 4 and not below that. Promoting Mush up the order has brought zero result and I think Mush and Nasir should make up our lower middle order. It would be interesting to see how long can mahmudullah hold his place if mominul starts to perform once shakib is back.

Tamim
Shamsur
Anamul
Mominul
Shakib
Mush
Nasir
Gazi
Mosharraf
pacer 1
pacer 2

This is the lineup I wasnt to see for ODI ideally. Jahurul, nafees, mullah and razzak are replacements for 2, 3, 4(I know his as* won't bat up at 4) and 8 respectively. Pacer's should be chosen according to whoever is in form.

As for next match. we are limited to injuries and so don't have much of a choice.

Very interesting thoughts. A few things.......

If just feels so odd to nudge the VC out of the team.

And we haven't even seen Shamsur debut. So too premature to put him up there in your ideal ODI team. But obviously you rate him tremendously high.

It's easy to say put the 2 pacers who are in form, but as you have seen in this series, when faced with injuries, it might be hard to actually have 2 pacers who are on form!
So perhaps we should quickly establish 3 supreme spin bowlers? So a 1 man pace attack can always be justified? We are already blessed that Shohag is more than decent with the bat. So we can afford to develop two absolute spin specialists.

Remember too that Mosharraf is actually 1 year older than Razzak. I only say this because, again like Shamsur, he is yet to debut for the team. He really has to shine if wants to stake his claim in the team.

And if they somehow discovers the new moon to blossom in the midst of the sky between the twinkle stars then there is no hope in the next match. better they would sit down and watch the match between bd and aus in cardiff to get acquainted of the future environment.

Ok jokes apart i think it will be unfair except rubel to change the team composition as the 2nd match is abandoned. if the track assist seamers then we should replace another pacer for rubel, with abul injured only hope is..... came long way from dhaka intl airport after cancelling 2-3 shooting contracts.
