Is it me or does Tamim actually bat better when he has the pink rubber grip on?

don't care about IPL auction, Just hope he does well in his own T20 Tournment BPL.

In IPL they will make him the laughing stock by benching him.

I hope Siddons can teach him a thing or two about hitting waist high full tosses

LoL! "Tamim Iqbal, the diminutive ..." Guess compared to Ryder and Woakes, TiK _is_ smaller but even by western standard I would not call a 5'10 180lbs guy diminutive.

Tamim batting vs. Northern Knights. Don't forget to thank the guy on youtube. Hopefully he will put up more of Tamim's batting videos in the future.

Thanx for sharing it over here.

thanks Ajfar bro for sharing, and thanks to the YT uploader.
looked like TI struggled with his timing at the beginning and then kept going well.
nice shot back to the bowler @ 3:00 :p

Compared to Tamim's, Ryder's hits were clean. I am not sure if the upload only has Ryder's selective clean hits or not but most of Tamim's shots were more power then technique or timing. He looked pretty ugly in playing most of his shots, especially toward the end of that inning as he was gradually getting tired.
It baffles be to see a young man like him gets so tired playing a short inning in a T20. May be smoking and now possibly drinking (assuming Ryder is his buddy) could be part of the reason. We may see a more rounded Tamim coming back from NZ.

Maysun · #**4121** January 4, 2013, 12:45 PM

^ you don't know that. So stop assuming and accusing!

Chill man....nobody is accusing him of anything that he doesn't do. To be fair I do not care what he does on his own and in his personal time but as an athlete if his personal choices impact his ability to be all that he can be and has a negative impact on BD national team, I definitely have an issue.

I agree. Compare to Tamim, Jessie's batting looks elegant. Here are some possible reasons (not excuses). 1) Tamim is not a natural Left Handed person - so his shots takes a lot more effort - like Ganguly 2) Jessie is much bigger and powerful plus have exquisite timing - therefore his shots look effortless. 3) Tamim's strength is hitting when given width. He is not good when you bowl towards his body or at the stumps. therefore his batting looks ugly as his slashes and misses close-to-body balls. (another similarity with Ganguly)

On the other hand, I must say, some of the sixes hit by Jessie will not be approved by our Shamim Chowdhury as he doesn't move his feet at all.

SS · #**4124** January 5, 2013, 10:40 AM

is he playing according to the following schedule:

MohammedC · #**4125** January 5, 2013, 07:39 PM

^^^ Yes Tamim is playing. Canterbury Wizards won the toss and they will bat. So we will have to wait a bit for Tamim show.
