We are also going to have a bowling coach as well from Aus. So no worries, let the BCB spend its bucks!!!

[akabir77]

cool he can now teach mash how to dangle a shirt in the lords if we win... lol

we need a bowling coach not a batting adviser...

[_Rafi_]

Btw BCB was saying they are not dropping Ashraful because they want stability in team before world cup.
Now why they are replacing Shakib so quickly. Lotus Kamal ki protisudh nilo?

[magic boy]

I think Bangali Shourov Ganguli is going to be the translator in disguise as cricketer like Mohammad Ashraful yet has not getting the right message in bangla from Aussie batting coach


but I like the addition of guy like Shourov Ganguly He's somewhat alternative of true head coach.

but BCB must appoint a bowling coach as well!!! NOW!!!!!!

Totally unnecessary. I heard there has been an Aussie bowling coach hired for the England series but this was not needed.

[dash]

the end of siddons i guess...........bcb tries a pcb.......huh..............this is one of our worst cticket boards even to our very low standards............
then again what to expect from lotus........what he said after becoming the president was "we want gimmick or something" as if cricket was dying an unpopular death........

Well.. Ganguly is alreayd in England playing for some county team. I think BCB want him to advice the batsmen how to play in English condition. Most of them failed in the Test series except Tamim.

I hope in the future he takes over as head coach.

[Tiger-ess]

I know I heard it on NTV khelar khobor about Ganguly and I was like

Mash always said Ganguly is one of his favourite player, hope dada can inspire our boys to some wins!!

He played in the charity match between middlesex and pakistan on sunday!

[Baundule]

I am kind of happy that Saurav is appointed as the batting advisor. Unlike many of us, I think, Siddons, as a coach, has damaged our batting the most. Instead of fine-tuning the attitude problems of our batsmen, he tried to make them cut their shots. It certainly did not work. The most successful ones like Tamim and Shakib have played agreesive cricket and Siddons had to accept their style of playing, because they were getting runs. On the other hand, capable batsmen with attitude problems, like Ashraful and Aftab, did not benefit from him at all. Saurav should inject the correct attitude to the team.

The change in the captaincy is a 50-50 decision. Shakib was not bad as a captain. But I will be happy if he regains his golden touch, getting rid of the captancy duty.

[Rabz]

Not sure about Mash's match fitness to begin with.
Is he fit mentally ???

[Miraz]

I think this is a very good move by BCB. Sourav is someone who never accepted defeat until the last ball of any match. If he can instill 10% of his mentality within our boys, we will win the matches against the associates comfortably and there may be surprises against England.

I hope Sourav stays with us until the World Cup.

That's we should have kept that moron as a captain. His avg went up by 1.5, and that's as high as it gonna get. At least that way, Mash and Shakib would have been in form, fit and less pressure on their shoulders.

But pray to Allah: help our Mash!

[Nadim]

gd move but i think its not enough to give him only one series...should try to keep him until the WC...

[bujhee kom]

If this Shaurobh Ganguly news is a fact, then I am very much agreeing with Baundule bhai and Miraz bhai here, I wish Ganguly all the best helping our team! Go Bangladesh!

ditto.

Not sure of Mash's fitness but at least it will be a fresh approach and a much needed away one from teh defensive/negative mindset that has taken root in the past few months.

I've always been a fan of SG and he should be able to connect with the team better. If this is a trial period for SG to see if he is interested in coaching and BCB figuring out an easy push out of Siddons, then I'm even more for it.

[bdtiger]

I read in PA that Shakib asked for rest and he will be the vice captain. It's a good decision
as Shakib needed a break. But for Mashrafe it could be a burdain as he is still struggling
for the form.

Is Ashraful still in the team?

[MohammedC]

Wish Shaurav Dada all the best.

I and Miraz bhai saw Dada during the first days play at Lords test.

@ Murad. He is definitely in England but I dont think he is playing for any county team.

no. But it was an excuse for last one year. We had to play with 10 man in that period

[Farhad]

So now we have two batting advisors.

Still waiting on that Aussie bowling coach. I dont think it'll be anyone particularly well known...
