And as Habib bhai said, Rubel consistently bowled at least a few kilometers faster than Taskin in the 2015 WC in Australia. I don't exactly remember his highest speed there, but if my memory serves me right it was either 148.6 or 149.2 kmph against New Zealand in our last group match.
Mash was never express... Or never got to be with injuries... He used to bowl around 140...he might have hit 145, but doubt faster than that. Mash could have been real quick of he didn't have injuries, he was bowling 140 consistently in 07, even in 2015 bowled one at 140.

I recall 147 kph (Which was on the ground screen in the orange text, blackbackground, not on TV) against Zimbabwe. Around that time he probably bowled comfortably over 140. So many occassions he would hit the batsmans thigh, or there would be play and miss, or the ball rising to the keepers face surprising him with great pace/bounce.
Mash when he was started off appeared a lot of faster than Rubel/Taskin. Maybe its because we didnt have quick bowlers, opposition didnt expect, fans didnt expect. So someone comes along bowling at 140+, you would percieve him to be fast and exciting. Or maybe it was Mash's energetic runup, aggression. Sometimes aggression can make a bowler appear much faster than he is.

Haha. But in that Under 19 WC where Shahadat played he was the most hostile bowler in the tournament. Regularly striking batsmen on the body, and running up to them with his super villain look.
But aggression is only useful if you use it wisely. Doesnt work for those without a brain

Except for two World Cup matches, Taskin never bowls his full quota. In last few matches, he bowled 2, 6, 4, 8, 4.4, 7, and 6. If Mash does not know how to utilize him fully or does not trust him enough, should not he look for another pacer/spinner option?
If you take any Bangladeshi pacer (AA, Rubel, Shafi, Taskin etc), besides Mash and Fizz, on average they bowl 7 overs per match.
This means, despite having Shakib and couple of good part time bowlers, Mash always go with four specialist bowlers. Shak almost always bowls his full quota. If Mash could trust three specialist bowlers (including himself) to bowl their full quota, rest of the 10 overs could have been covered by part timers. This means we could afford to pick another batsman, or a specialist keeper instead of Mushfiq.
This is a major issue he needs to work out with his bowlers, with help from our new bowling coach.
But Mashrafe had overused both Riad and Mosaddek. And about the 3rd Afghanistan ODI, he was reserved for the final overs but Afghanistan didn't last too long did they? 2nd ODI was an absolute dustbowl
He needs to be put in the nets so he doesn't look completely hopeless with the bat, and at the same time put those damn muscles to good use when he's batting. He should have more than enough strength to dispatch deliveries over the rope given he has some sort of basics down when batting.

Taskin actually Bowled very well today..... When Duckett and Stokes was playing all other bowlers so well it was taskin who was constantly beating them and also they were dropped and catches went in no-mans land of Taskins bowling.
Mash did not use his bowlers well. Taskin should have bowled earlier.... When Duckett and Stokes came to bat after 3 wickets down. But looking at mosaddek troubling the lefties mashrafe tried Mahmudullah from the other end and he tried more spin as he has introduced mh rubel and also brought back shakib
Ppl in bc thought taskin was injured. But he never left the field he was warming up as if mashrafe will call him to bowl next over by mash was continuing with spinners.
Shakib and taskin should always be the 1St and 2ND change bowlers...... Try part timers only when strike bowlers fail.
