Second test at Old Trafford XI

[Nafi]

Pundits say the pitch will either have pace (if they leave the sheen on it) , or be a slow dusty turning wicket. Im betting the groundsman will make the former.

Firstly I would kick out Robiul, not good enough to produce wicket taking deliveries and bring in swing king Robin (mahbubul alam)

1-Tamim
2- Kayes
3- Siddique
4- Jahurul
5- Ashraful
6- Riyad
7- Shakib (c)
8- Rahim (wk)
9- Robin (Alam)
10- Shahadat
11- Rubel/ Shafiul

Non- Ashraful side - For a fast pacy pitch

1-Tamim
2- Kayes
3- Siddique
4- Jahurul
5- Riyad
6- Shakib (c)
7- Rahim (wk)
8- Robin (alam)
9- Shafiul
10- Shahadat
11- Rubel

This team would be fun to watch, six bowlers and four pacers that can bowl at or over 85mph, never been done before in history of Bangladesh Cricket

DARE YOU DREAM?

[Baundule]

yes, time to move on. Drop Ashraful, bring in Shafiul, replace Mushy by Shamsu, take razzak and rasel instead of Riyadh and Jahurul and we will win the 2nd test.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Not very hopeful about our bowling prospects. Give Ashraful the kick and put Mushy up. Riyad too. Let Shak bat down the order instead.

[yaseer]

Robiul out and Shafiul in.
Otherwise, the team is same.

[sufism]

Tamim may not be available for this match.

[beshideshi]

I don't think Ashraful should get the cut, he had a bad decision in the first innings and in the second he was victim of some top, top class bowling.
Also don't think Mushy should be dropped, he is a crucial player for us, and don't forget he scored loads of runs just one test match back. But the batting order should be shuffled a bit, 1-2-3-4-5 should stay the same, and then there should be Mushy(6), Riyad(7) and Shakib.
And Robiul should make way for Shafiul, also I won't be surprised if team management decides to change both Robiul and Rubel for Shafi and Robin.

I think, dropping Ashraful will solve all the problems and automatically win us the match.

[roman]

Tamim may be out due to injury. I would like to see shuvo amd Shafiul in the XI.

[AK420]

My squad:

Tamim Iqbal
Imrul Kayes
Junaid Siddique
Jahurul(wk)
Shakib Al Hasan
Shamsur Rahman
Mushfiqur
Abdur Razzaq(All-Rounder)
Ashraful(Leg spinner and tail ending slogger)
Robin
Shahadat

Did you see him bat?

[Dilscoop]

Shuvo is not on the squad!! Stop talking about Shuvo!!

Ash should be dropped, because he ruined everyyy chance of drawing we had. If he hadnt got out, we wouldnt send Shahadat, who was bound to get out with the new ball.

320/3 would have been great. Ashraful ****ed it up!!!

Are you kidding me? New ball. First five balls he left them alone. All outside the off and rising deliveries. The sixth one he had to poke chest high. Leave the damn ball alone. Did you not listen to the commentators? Anderson didn't do anything different than the first five balls. Either you didn't watch the match or you are another blind fan of the con artist.

I thought his name was Sarowardi (i cant spell it) Shuvo.

[AK420]

It is Sohrawardy

[nycpro96]

Shamsur Rahman Shuvo-opening batsman
Suhrawardi Shuvo-SLA

[AK420]

What would happen if this becomes the squad:

Shamsur Rahman
Nazimuddin
Shahriar Nafees
Roquibul Hasan
Foysal Hossain Dickens
Shuvagoto Hom
Sohrawardy Shuvo
Anamul Hoque
Mashrafee
Nazmul Hossain
Enamul Huq

THIS TEAM IS BETTER ,

[ahnaf]

Why u guyz, Criticize only ash? Why shakib nd mush not?? In ths match in 1st innish ash was out by bad decision nd 2nd innings r u guyz dnt see hw anderson bowling after getting new ball nd bad luck of ash that he has to face almost all deliveries... Ya ash has done mistake bt the main cause is some really decent deliveries frm andrson.. I want only 1 chane.. Bring back shafiul.. Drop robiul..( though im nt sure.. Coz it was the 1st match only of robiul..)

Ashraful's wicket got Eng out of a hole that Siddique and Jahurul built from where Tamim and Kayes left off. Those 2 guys dug the hole even bigger. And Ashraful's wicket field half of it. Siddique and Jahurul kept us away from our famous collapse.

[Dilscoop]

I dont care if Ashraful is dropped or not. But I need Shafiul back!!

[Murad]

Shakib should bat at 8. No.6 is for Riyad or Mushy. Shakib nowadays bats like a tailender.

Shakib should bat where he is batting now. In his last 6 innings(excldng Lords) his score was 96, 49, 4, 1, 100, 87. Your observation must be blind
