Agree. HaBa and Naimur have proved to a total disaster as selectors. No Ghilu whatsoever.

Just realized: In BD's total ODI history, there has been 47 tons. Kohli alone has 36 ODI tons. Combined test and ODI, Kohli now has 50 tons at the age of 30 (almost).

Mithun struggles a lot against pace, and he can't even play the short ball if his life depended on it. A bit tailenderish. But what I really like is that he knows his limitations and purposely targets spinners to boost up his strike rate.

When the pacer is on he just tries to funnel the ball down to point to get off strike.

But I think for now he has made the no. 5 spot his own and I actually think him and Mushy bat really well together. Both are quick between wickets and when the pacer is on Mithun rotates the strike to Mushy.

But yeah he may look like a sitting duck though vs. the likes of Starc and co.

Shakib should comfortably slot back at no. 3. Looking like a solid team is coming through for BD in ODIs.
