IF we had a chance at all, 1st day its experienced player like Tamim, Sakib and today experienced player like Rahim, SN screwed it (if anybody did at all). As senior players I have more expectation from them to play according to the team's need than young players whpo are trying their best to survive.

Brilliant observation. I was about to write something along that line and glad to see that you have noticed it. He is indeed auditioning for no.3 or 4. How many no.7 can play 131 balls in our team? Not many. Due to the uncertain nature of our no.3 position, it is imperative that at this juncture, we play somebody who is capable of playing a lot of balls at that position. Bashar was the closest to the pro-typical no.3 we have ever had- a counterattacking style batsman, but in the absence of such a batsman, your second option is to have someone who has stickability who can build partnerships rather. So, he is doing what is necessary at this point. So, when Riyad comes back, I would actually play Naeem at no.3, and let Imrul or SN play musical chair at the no.2 spot.
Good job there Fazal.
