Expectation Threshold
yeah, the heading of my post is the problem of all the old and new player conflict. i've seen several post about bringing back all the former stars of our national team, akram, nannu, bulbul and naimur. at least we are not asking for bowlers like gm nousheed prince! but the question is, is the old foxes any better than the ones we have now? Actually, NO. in fact, they are even worse.
the problem is, as i said expectation threshold. we did not have much expectation when they used to play. and, when they did play, all they cared for was playing 50 overs or getting a total of 200 and so on, regardless of the games nature or requirement. now, if u do'nt try to reach a goal, its really easy to have a better looking lose. but the new team at least try for the win, and may be ended up with worse result. which one u think is more positive, u decide. moreover, the cricketing world went many many steps further since those oldies steped over. can they cope with the new techniques and all? i can't think so. like everyone else, i'm also very very disappointed about the tiger's performance. but, i've no doubt that bringing back former starts is not a solution.

Younger sides will have an edge in terms of agility and as such they can be trained to be sharper fielders which is a "must" in international cricket. Just look at India and Sri Lanka. Having said that, as highlighted in Shewar's piece, there shoulkd be a role for these seniors and maybe they are not contributing fully to the development process of BD cricket.

guys dont be mad......
bringing the old players wont do any good. we all feel the same for our team. even after the westindies tour everyone was praising our team. bu one bad tournament and the whole team gets the blame... my suggestion is get the under 19 boys in the world stage slowly... mashrafee and shareef will be back shortly and then we will look a different team. but one thing is for sure we shound make 2 different teams for short and long version of the game... think for the future.....

Dear all! please look at the fact. Are we telling that the current team is playing against superior oponents? Let us not forgert the players I am talking about played against likes of Wasim Akram, Walsh, Ambrose, Ranatunga, Wagh brothers, De Silva etc. I don't thins those teams were weaker than current SL, Austrlia, WI or Pak teams. How many times teh current team past 200+ in ODIs (except agianst Zim)? Talking about agility, how many catches we drop per match with thse bunch of agile fileders. All I am saying We ahve tried with teh talents, now let's put 2 people who does not have gerat talent but have better foot work and capable of scoring 30 odd runs at least. We need runs, we rather loose after scoring a respectable total, than loose by a hughe maging after pretending that we were just going for a win. Some of these players do not even know which ball to hit and which one to defend.

BD team dont have the luxury for a temporary solution. It will bring our cricket to nowhere. We must nurture younsters for the betterment of our future cricket for a long run. The best we can do is to appoint these oldies as advisors to our young cricketers. We want their tips and experience, but not those odd 20/30 runs.

desperate situation requires desperate measures....
The question is: Is the situation so bad, that demands desperate measures? In that case why not go to the extreme and bring back Rokibul and open him with Gullu in next few test series. Who knows they might create some kind of record.  In specialist spinner department, we can add our Energizer Bunny, Goala (Keeps on going) instead of Rafique and/or Razzak. In opening bowler department, we can use “always reliable” Chacha and “once upon a time” speedster Badshah. Hira can give rest to Pilot once in a while as a part-time wicketkeeper. Btw, how old is he now? How about using “Kalicharan” Babu to stabilize the middle order. Relax …. …things will be ok!!:P

With all due respect to your opinions about Bulbul or Nannu, I think we should let the stats speak for themselves ...
Name Mat I NO Runs HS Ave SR 100 50 Alok Kapali 42 41 2 797 89* 20.43 65.81 - 4 Aminul Islam 39 39 5 794 70 23.35 56.59 - 3 Minhajul Abedin 27 26 2 453 68* 18.87 49.83 - 2 Rajin Saleh 19 19 0 450 71 23.68 52.44 - 3 I don't see how you guys can think Bulbul or Nannu would do any better than Rajin or Alok. Count in the fact that Bulbuls 5 not outs inflate his average by quite a bit, and both Bulbul and Nannu have been known for their slow strike rates.

bd's average speaks for its team performance. just look at it. it is a sorry looking stat by any means.
do u guys remember how those 3 oldies used to play? wihout any target. wasting 50 overs wiht a target of spending it, 20 odd runs is not that hard. and even if the current team get out below that, they try to chase a total or to build it. and, i think thats the difference we should keep in mind before thinking of bringing any one back.

Current Squad - No Risk, No Gain?
I think one thing is not mentioned here at all.
THE FACTOR OF THE NEW BALL. Bulbul, Akram, Nannu, Durjoy - they all played at number four, five, six and sometimes at seven. Only a few times (2/3 times) Akram and Durjoy were tried at number three or in the opening position and they failed miserably, considering their batting average and the number of times played at their respected batting positions. Since we are having to face a similar kind of situation now just as before, the opening dilemma - THE NEW BALL FACTOR, (that is, wickets fall too regularly in the first few overs) so our aim could be to strengthen our middle order batting. And hence, stop losing the matches inside the first 10 overs of our batting. In that case, Bashar, Rajin, Ashraful - the three main inform spearheads in our batting in present times can be batted at positions three, four and five. Given that Alok Kapali is not in such a good form, so lets just forget about him for the moment. The Bashar-Rajin-Ashraful batting line up helped us in the One Day series against Zimbabwe, so we could have stayed with the same batting order for the rest of the season. However, as we are trying to get our acts together and trying to beat teams stronger than Zimbabwe, so the risk of entertaining the idea of Ashraful opening came into the mind of Whatmore, for our sake of winning against stronger teams like SL, IND, PAK, so Whatmore took a chance, a risk, and since there is no risk, no gain, so he was encouraged by the idea. Anyway, am I making sense? There are the facts given by Atahar Ali Khan, the only opener (a makeshift opener, to be precise - just like Mohammad Ashraful) in our recent past who have succeeded in the International career and ofcourse there is Javed Omar, who have shown some success in International career. I think my ideas are all messed up at the moment. If at least any one of you has come to understand as to what I meant, then my time on this long-messed-up post is worth it.

I wasn't much interested to post anything in this unrealistic discussion of "Bringing back players who already crossed their mid 30's" but the following data of batting averages caught my eyes n shocked me quite a lot!!
 These r called our main guys! Bashar 17.66 in 52 innings Ashraful 16.66 in 35 innings Hannan Sarkar 19.15 in 20 innings Alok Kapali 20.43 in 42 innings Notable: Currently considered 'out of form Alok & Hannan got higher averages. Bit respectable r these: Rajin Saleh 23.68 in 19 innings Javed Omar 25.81 in 30 innings Manjural Rana 30.42 in 10 innings Khaled Masud* 25.12 in last 10 innings (*though his alltime average is 18.13 in 80 innings I think he has got some momentum in is bat recenty) [Edited on 5-8-2004 by crickethorizon]

Akram and Bulbul - these guys should have crossed 1000 runs. Especially Akram who was so close. He came into the World Cup last year and plodded and nudged his way through a few overs - hardly picked up any runs. Against Kenya, one was expecting some accelaration from him but all he did was stand around. Those guys never got a good run chase going, they were just happy to face as many balls as possible. No wonder Bangladesh were always out of the game by the 20th over. Anyway, I don't mean to be too harsh on the legends, they did their duty for Bangladesh, but the cricket (from us) then was just not very good.
Fwullah - one thing you bring up in your post is that we got into the recent mess primarily because of the opener problem. Converting Ash to an opener has made the middle order paper thin. Do we have any real openers out there set to make a comeback? Wouldn't that solve some of our current problems?

Is Mehrab out of form now..... or still stuck due to that suspension in the domestic league........... he could be one of our options as oppener along with javed, bidyut and hannan.......(not considering nafees, let him have some more experience and learn not to through away wickets, after all we are expecting long service from this man)
