Mash was so "ready to go" when he started. In NZ, he was almost like Wasim Akram in his debut. We got our 1st Mash within a year of test cricket, but after so many years, we are still waiting for the 2nd Mash. Really hurts.

tanvir_nus · #**102** January 27, 2013, 08:13 PM

In terms of speed, he must be really up there! But remember guys, he is only 17. Although I want to see him play, we should be cautious....... But I am sure he is the next big thing in the pace department from Bangladesh. Although a fully matured and complete bowler will take 5/6 years to come from now.

al Furqaan · #**103** January 27, 2013, 08:45 PM

He's 19, according to his facebook. His cricinfo age is either wrong or his passport age.

Tanvir, have you seen him? Can you describe his bowling style?

tanvir_nus · #**104** January 27, 2013, 09:00 PM

he is over 6 feet, gets bounce from the wicket because of his height and tall arm, late ripping action... one of the best parts is his front foot does not collapse and drags his second foot while delivering suggesting he can go so much faster when he does mature... i am not an expert but looks like a smooth but effective action to me, he is aggressive as well... and the hunger for pace is there... everything suggestive of the best prospect in fast bowling for years in bangladesh... but he has to be handled very well... i have said this before, he has to be given the time to mature.

We Bangladeshis don't get this seriously, and we give breaks to early to youngsters. The thing is a bowler is learning, maturing everyday. He will learn more about his body and swinging as time goes by, giving him an early break may put a dent to that, unless he is a fast learner. We don't know how he is as a person.

Yah, very excited about seeing him.

biggest issue imo is not overplaying him as we don't want him crippled by injury. so if he is to be given chances make sure it's only in t20s and ODIs for the moment.

I don't think he's much suited for limited overs cricket. His econ rate in limited overs games is way too high.

I think he could settle into Test cricket if he understands the basics. If he can consistently make the batsman play, move it just a little through the air or off the seam, he can get wickets. Of course his pace and bounce will help.

With Mash, Rubel, and Nazmul we have a very decent ODI pace attack. He is needed in Tests where we might as well be opening with Alamgir Kabir and Khaled Mahmud with Aftab Ahmed at first change.

Tiger Manc · #**109** January 30, 2013, 02:08 PM

He seems to fall away at the end of his action.

Rifat_02 · #**110** February 14, 2013, 10:38 AM

Bowled really well today against the likes of Dilshan and Shakib on a batting pitch, and he is only 17, hits 130 kph too. In my opinion he is a much better prospect than Sir Abul. He has height and a good action, seems like a young Mashrafe. Should be getting more chances in BPL

jeesh · #**111** February 14, 2013, 12:32 PM

Tried his best. Showed character. If he is indeed 17 there is still a lot of time for him to learn and develop.

Night_wolf · #**112** February 14, 2013, 12:43 PM

bowled well, wasn't anything outstanding but somehow batsmen failed to read him

better then abul though..if abul can play for the national team he can also play

Tiger444 · #**113** February 14, 2013, 01:02 PM

Looked very impressive. With the situation of our pacers, I won't be surprised if he gets a call up soon.

sad but true. Mukter Ali looks better bowler than Abul atm. I don't know what selectors have seen in Abul. yes, he is promising but nowhere close to be playing int cricket...

*AsifTheManRahman* · #**115** February 14, 2013, 01:06 PM

Abul is the Aftab of bowling.

It's Shane that pushes for him to be in the team. Law liked him a lot as well. He bowls well at times but far too inconsistent and gets down on himself too easily. Taskin seems to have a more fearless attitude than Abul.

MohammedC · #**117** February 14, 2013, 01:11 PM

If Someone can confirm Youtube is back in Bangladesh. So I could upload Tazza's 4 over there. FB takes bit longer to upload.

BANFAN · #**118** February 14, 2013, 01:20 PM

Long way to go...it's just one match.... Everyone who got a call up, has shown better glimpses and that's why they are in the team...

And his performance 1 wicket @rpo 7.75 might indicate that he can be a prospect for future, but not yet there. More over it's T20 and he needs to learn a lot for all other formats. If he can make considerable improvement, that's fine for a call up in the national team. I can see a few already expecting a call up with this performance. He looks handsome though..

so whats your problem in that?

anyway we shouldn't be talking about it

Max100 · #**121** February 14, 2013, 02:13 PM

abul had no success in domestic, international, under 19 (most expensive), still he gets national cap and debut century. 7th wonder

roman · #**122** February 14, 2013, 02:14 PM

Taskin should be nowhere near the national team for the next 2-3 years. We have a great track record of strangling a promising pacer and wreck his career. Don't want Taskin to have the same fate. He is ONLY 17. Please curb your enthusiasm

According to his FB, he's 19.

Thanks Mo bhai.

His first delivery was 84kph

thats some serious pace.

i knew speed gun was wrong and its still not accurate. I'm sure he along with Rubel, Abul and shafiul was bowling at least 5kph faster than what speed meter was reading throughout the tournament.
