Hello all,

We have seen a bit improvement of BD batting from 3rd ODI aginst NewZealand because of right and left hand combination. It is always difficult to bowl against left hand batsmen. If we have a left hand openner then our openning pair will be able to stay at the wicket for long time. Shahriar Nafees could be the man from U-19. Let's see how he will play in the league matches. If he shows good performance he will be the first choice in the national team. I think u guys will be agree with me. Thanks.

we need brain...not hand.

I will prefer 'lula' with a little bit sense of batting.

i dont think having a left handed batsman is a solution, or even helpful for that matter. world class bowlers know how to bowl at a lefty of meagre quality

True Asif. But i do think that we need a left hander or two in our top order. It is still an advantage. Look at Australia Hayden, Langer, Lehmann, Katich, Gilchrist. 5 of the top 7 are left handers.
