Dicuss?

[Night_wolf]

poteto..potato..whats the point

[al-Sagar]

sokhina, morjina, jamal, kamal, ladi baba, badi baba

[Gowza]

Options have been pretty exhausted, need to give guys like anamul, mominul, shamsur, taskin, al Amin, shuvagata, shabbir a few more goes, proper runs not matches here and there.

Not much on the domestic scene I don't think, give Naeem more tries....maybe try asif ahmed, mosaddek, there is no quick selections that are going to fix this, I think the best talents are in and around the squad so it's up to them to improve.

Yeah if taijul doesn't workout may as well try our luck with a leggy. Mosaddek can take riyad's spot. I'm not sure shabbir's bowling is up to the mark in 50 overs and tests so he should be considered a batsman in those formats.

Nurul into the mix even if as a pure bat.

Papon in a live interview said he wouldn't hesitate to swap the entire team with the U-19 team. It is in the Youtube.

By the way, what cricketing background this chap has?

[Rana Melb]

losers-losers= BIGGEST LOSERS

[jeesh]

Sports administrator with Abahani etc, involved with Dhaka Premier League. Thats abt it!

From what i ve seen so far, our chief is more of a fire fighter. There seems to be so much red tape and BCB is badly disorganized. Every decision takes weeks or months to materialize-why because all members must get together for a scheduled board meeting. Since being appointed president he hasnt done much to professionalize BCB.

Sadly he also doesnt show any vision or long term direction.

Can Papon write a book about his accomplishment in last 2 years?
I am sure he can...about his failures...

Ever since he took over, I only hear bad news...
If he ever takes over ICC, the game of cricket might not exist within a few years..

Understood. So how long he has been in the office again? I thought he had full control of the entire BCB from the start? Why didn't he change the red tape to blue tape already?

It takes matter of seconds to get MPs (Member of the Parliament) to join the team on an overseas trip. No red tape there? How can board members have other businesses if they are full time employees of BCB?

Mossadek in for Ryiad.

[Tiger444]

Bring Mosaddek and Shadman in. These 2 averaged about 38-40 in U19s which is higher than the likes of Shakib, Mushy, Tamim and Anamul in their days. No point just keeping on the sidelines. Get them in and see what they got. Especially Shadman considering how useless Imrul and Shamsur are. Shabbir, Nurul and Shuvagata also should be considered as well.

[Gowza]

imrul has never really looked that comfortable at the international level, the best he looked was his test century but for all the international experience he's got under his belt he should be further along than he is. shamsur is one of the most complete batsmen i've seen come out of BD but he's got the same bug as everyone else which is playing a stupid shot to get out, i'd prefer it if he got an extended run before being dropped. he's been in and out of the side rather than being given a persistent run and he's been moved around the top 4 in t20s and one-dayers rather than staying is one position.

i do think nurul, shuvagata and shabbir need to be given more chances and mosaddek should possibly be fast tracked to the one-day side.

[jeesh]

Imrul did well under Siddons because of a composed approach. He was a 65 strike rate batsman, would always get a 20-30 to help the team see the new ball off. But the new Kayes thinks he is Gilchrist. Chasing unnecessarily after wide deliveries, hooking when eyes not in. Its more of a psychological issue than a technical.

He got his chance, and now blew it.

I hate to say it but Imrul for the most part was very lucky to get his runs back in the day. He wasn't called Kayedge for nothing. He's always been very vulnerable against anything pitched outside his offstump and inept at playing the short ball. I agree it's more of a mental thing for him. Even with his limitations, he could've been a better batsman had he developed stronger mentality and worked on his temperament but unfortunately he hasn't so it's time we let him go and bring in somebody else.

I agree in some ways that Shamsur hasn't gotten really an extended run and even in this series, he played out of position at #4 which he doesn't even do in domestics so you could make an excuse for him to stay in the side.

That said, I have my doubts he will stay in the side for long. His footwork is atrocious. You could say that Anamul has bad footwork too but at least he has a strong temperament and willingness to grind out an innings. Shamsur is poor temperamentally. There isn't anything about his game that can suggest he could succeed.

for the last sentence i will have to disagree my friend, from what i've seen he has a lot more going for him than most other BD batsman, he has pretty good technique (for a BD batsman), decent footwork (everyone has bad footwork at times, note i'm not saying he has great footwork but decent footwork), he drives well, hooks well, is capable of rotating strike, is capable of hitting boundary balls and is capable of changing gears within an innings as seen in his ODI 96.

From the matches I saw of him this year I thought his footwork was a bit poor but it could also be the lack of temperament getting him in trouble that makes him look bad.

I agree he's capable but question is that enough? He doesn't really have the power in his game like Tamim does or to a lesser extent Anamul's temperament. So he has to figure out a way to become successful or else he'll be yet another one of our players who just couldn't hack it at this level.

[jeesh]

Shamsur like Nazimuddin is probably gone. Putting technique aside, the guy doesnt place any value on his wicket. Careless, reckless, i can use 50 adjectives. When you are a top order batsman of a minnow team you must know how to stay in the crease even at low strike rate. Minhajul Abedin, Aminul Islam etc understood it very well and used to do the job for us.

That's my problem with the likes of Imrul, SN, Shamsur and Junaid. I won't count Nazimuddin because he wasn't even international material to begin with. The other 4 on the other hand are not the most talented but I feel they still could've been successful if they played within their limitations but unfortunately they haven't because they don't put a price on their wickets.

Shamsur of course hasn't played as much but he seems to heading more towards the path of SN, Imrul and Junaid.

[Gowza]

i agree shamsur is headed in a bad direction but he started out well and instead of being supported he's been in and out of the team, that has to lower confidence which affects performance. from what i've seen from him he's the most talented bar mushy in terms of the skills he currently possesses, but lately he's struggled to put these skills together as the mental side of his game isn't up to par.

he's also been moved around the order and with his current mental fall backs i don't think it's helped him, atm he pretty much should either open or bat lower down the order as a pinch hitter/finisher, he has the skills to eventually bat at #3 or #4 but i think atm best position for him is opener and if not that then lower down the order around #7.

imo they should have given shamsur some experience as opener while tamim was out of form, now tamim is coming back to form and anamul is scoring tons so for him to get an opener spot in short formats is unlikely and batting down at #7 we really want an allrounder rather than someone who is just a batsman.

[Tiger444]

I agree that Shamsur hasn't really been allowed to settle. I think he'll make it in the Zimbabwe squad especially thanks to Imrul's horror run. He needs to perform whenever he gets a chance or else he'll run out of chances. One thing that favors Shamsur right now is the fact that the alternatives aren't very good.
