Spinning track banabe...tadero spinner kom....iffy about mortaza...although he bowled tight length and took two superb wickets...he is not getting wickets...crowd gave standing o when he came..

Bhalo hobe..ora abar spin kom khelte pare..hope shakib will also get better in time...and that rubel continues this type of sticky icky icky performances...

[Maysun]

Interesting inclusion..

[Nadim]

I doubt they will make spinning track. If they do, this series is ours. Nz spinners sucks big time

[shuziburo]

Isn't Enam Jr healthy and available? He is a much better choice, especially in the ODI.

And Sunny is under hyped.

Mohammad Elias = Sunny right? Idk what's the point but whatever. Enam won't do much good, esp. in ODIs I'm thinking. Also not an "all rounder", Sunny technically is, at least on Paper. Not proper, but he can hold the bat, although I'm yet to see that.

[Razi]

I don't know what they see in Sunny these days, he has been quite poor in the last 12 months both internationally and domestically. Had a terrible UK tour for A team giving away 95, 58, 47 and 64 runs in his last 4 matches only for a single wicket. Also gave away 58 runs in his last ODI against West Indies and performed nothing of note in the domestic.

[akabir77]

i think Jr. would have been better choice...

[Gowza]

saqlain sajib maybe....i do think sunny has talent but can't dispute he hasn't done much over the last 12 months.

[simon]

another ajera player.


another occassion for humbol pie

[Roey Haque]

No Runny Sunny.

[criclife]

he wil be useless..i think

[Naimul_Hd]

I would like to see Arafat Sunny in the team than Elias Sunny. Anyway, I don't think Sunny will be needed for rest of the matches. NZ batters (specially Ross, McCullum) have a mental blockage playing against Lallaa

[cricbook]

I dont think he will be used....? I prefered zia play instead of razzak.

[shuziburo]

Elias Sunny was great in one match. If we play an SLA in place of Shakib, I don't have a lot of faith on Sunny. From what I have seen of Enam, he can be much more effective in international matches.

[NoName]

Did he turn out to only be a one hit wonder, that being his debut matches?

[betaar]

Does this mean Shak is not going to be available for the remainder of the ODI series?
On the subject of including Sunny vs. Enam - I don't think including Sunny is a good idea. Enam Jr. would've have been a better choice just so we add variety in bowling. Neither of them is impressive enough to be included in ODI but for the sake of injecting some confidence in a leggie, so we can create a varied attack for the future, Enam should be given some opportunity similar to how NZ is doing with Sodhi.

[MohammedC]

Oi Elias remember to complete the run before celebrating.

[Jadukor]

An all rounder should ideally be replaced by another all rounder to retain the balance of the squad. This just proves we have no other spinning all rounders worth trying. I think the Selectors are probably not pleased with Razzak and hence another SLA

Enam is not a leggie

Shak is down with Dengue and often Dengue can be very serious. At this point we can simply hope he recovers within the next 7 days. Playing matches is not the priority.

I am clueless, speechless on his inclusion. I can't find any reason why he should be judged before Enamul. Just look at Enam's record, this guy has been performing so well to get in and yet we deny him.

Somone should give the selectors a punch in their back. We nevber can field our best eleven.

[BD_TigerZ]

Another dead weight. Could have tried Arafat or Sajib.

[Isnaad]

I would have picked Shabbir Rahaman instead, if available.
