Mominul Haq has been selected for national team - Page 2

He seems to be a hard working young man, and as short as Tendu. He has all the elements to become a champ. I believe he is there to be served, and serve for long

Thanks a lot for the video bro. Now that I have seen him, I m pretty sure this kid has what it takes to succeed in international cricket. Now I m pretty confident that he will shine. He seems to have the technique but what impressed me most was how he seemed pretty cool and just went about his business in finishing the game under pressure. Yep I m pretty confident now that he will shine, the rest depends on him, Allah, luck and selectors.

from the video rifat posted he does not appear as impressive as people are making him out to be. He lacks footwork in his shots that went square of the wicket on both sides barring the pull shot. I am not too optimistic about him yet.

Who is taller- Mominul or Mushfiqur?

He always looked to me as an average batsman.... And his Avg in FC and List A also suggest that. Hope he does well.... Don't really know what to expect from him...

Really? He gets behind the delivery and as for square of the wicket, they looked ugly because the length wasn't right to play those shots but since it was BPL he had to manufacture shots. The more he plays in different conditions against strong oppononents the better he will get. I used to be a first division cricketer in Chittagong, and my humble knowledge says his technique is just fine for now in pitches like ours and as a number 4 and 5. Abroad, he will unfurl and hone his square of the wicket techniques

Nobody's as tall as Capt. Md. Mushfiqur Rahim Mit'hu, BA (History) in international cricket and I mean NOBODY. U13 or little people cricket isn't international cricket.

The bottomline is, he has been the most consistent batsman in the domestic and performed marginally better than most batsmen in the warm ups. So, he is our best bet to fill up the gap in the middle order. Even Nasir with dodgy technique is doing great, so there's no reason why Shourav can't provided he is mentally as strong as the former. But however well he performs, once Shakib returns, he'll have to move up the order- possibly at 3 or 4. So his real competition is with Anamul/Naeem/SN.

Exactly. There's no way to know how smooth the transition if any, will be until we see him play international cricket over a period of time. For that he needs to make a major impact right away, the type of impact he can milk for a period of time especially during bad patches, AND be in the good graces of our legendary selectors known to be the the most hardworking, erudite, just and wise since King Solomon (PBUH).

That transition is never easy and I pray for the best outcome for him and our country. Though I'm not as as excited about his debut as I am about Bijoy's or I was about Hom's, I acknowledge him to be far better player than guys like Rajin, Rocky, Nazimuddin, "Decans" and Omi to name a few. He is also smarter and I'm talking about cricketing intelligence here as it relates to reading the game situation,than Shahriar Mofees, Junaid Mofees, Tusharul Mofees and all of the other Mofeeses we've had the misfortune to watch out there.

After seeing Shariar Nafees fishing outside the off stump in the recent test series... Mominul's innings will seem like poetry in motion

mali007 · #37 November 29, 2012, 01:06 AM

I still remember that memorable batting of Mominul . Hope he will shine .

Sahara Cup 2012
Bangladesh vs West Indies
Mominul takes Shakib's place
The tiny figure of Mominul Haque looked out of place and out of his depth as he found himself surrounded by the press horde. He had just been told, moments after playing his match for the BCB XI against the touring West Indians, that he was selected to the Bangladesh squad as a replacement for champion all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan for the first two ODIs, and all he seemed to be trying to do was escape the spotlight.

It does not do to get too excited about a new prospect who is yet to play his first international game, but observers of the domestic game for quite some time identified him as a player for the future. His name was doing the rounds at the start of the year, but the fact that much care was being taken to blood him at the right time points to his potential. . . . . . . . .http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesig...php?nid=259173

But more than statistics, it is the nature of his play that delights his backers.

In yesterday's match against the West Indies he scored 43 off 57, in itself not a huge achievement, but he seemed the only one at ease with the venom that the West Indians spewed. When the fast bowlers dropped short, he seemed to have ample time to rock back and play the pull. He would not often have faced bowlers of this speed, but the time available to him seemed to set him apart. (Source: DS)

That's a positive sign and I'm glad that selectors actually picked him after watching the match and not just seeing the scorecard.

^^^ Enjoyed the pic Razi!

..."that he was selected to the Bangladesh squad as a replacement for champion all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan for the first two ODIs"

Unnecessary pressure - I hope he doesn't feel pressure from that one and can play unencumbered by extraneous circumstances.

Fazal · #43 November 29, 2012, 01:08 PM

Nice pricture.

Mominul ekta Dhainna Morich.

At the tail of the innings, all attempeted yorker will be a short pitched ball for him... chookar pore chokka....

and all attempted bouncers will be wide.
