Hahha, remember my post, "khela hobe chomchom" - that happened.
Remember my favorite player, in each innings he took the most important wicket although he needs
"viagra" version of medicare in batting.
Hope he gets his Mojo back in those few days of rest.

Give Ashraful one more chance as we need someone with experience( even though he never made good use of the exp). When Mash comes back he should get the kick and we need to look at the future, which is looking quite bright eg: Tamim, Shakib, Big Z, Riyadh even Mush can bat very well. Glad Ash can finally say the team doesn't need him.
Line up for the 2nd Test
1. Tamim
2. Imrul (just convert your starts to 50s)
3. Junaid ( Big Z convert your 70s to 100)
4. Raqibul (no need for another Ashrafool shot)
5. Mushfiqur Rahim
6. Shakib al Hasan
7. Mahmudullah
8. Ashraful (needs a demotion to show how he fared in the last test - 9 runs from both)
9. Shahadat (no more over stepping)
10. Robin (heard about him - let's see how he fares)
11. Rubel (His reverse swing was impressive, dude no more noballs please)

Hopefully JAmie and Mortaza keeps everyone's feet on the ground after the historic win. Test cricket's a pretty simple game if you think about it. When batting, try and put up a big score, big enough that your bowlers will feel comfortable defending, and when bowling try and restrict them from scoring and take their wickets. That's basically it, 3 things to execute. A bit more composure from your top six and you should put up a pretty huge score, and you clearly have the bowling attack to both restrict the runs as well as take wickets. The opposition is on the back foot, now is the time to strike.

Hah, Siddons must go light as candle in a church and send a bottle of wine to Sammy. If not for him, JS's idiocy was all set to strike again.

You know there's a bangla proverb, meaning "What is easy can't be done easily". Really, it's not the third order differential equation that you'll make a mistake about in the exams, it's the simle calculations that will be mistaken.
Hopefully our boys will stick to the basics.

Sticking to the basics always helps (or it did for me, since I wasn't all that blessed with talent as a cricketer lol):
Batting
- defend the good ball
- put away/score on the bad balls
- put a high price on your wicket
- be patient - you have 5 days to win
Bowling
- be consistent
- minimise the bad balls
- make the batsman work for their runs
- make them play as much as possible
- if you get hammered, don't lose heart - concentrate on putting the ball in the right area

Critics have been after our TEST status for a while. And as far as this test goes, it might just give us a series win in TESTS, which is going to be HUGE for BD cricket.

Anyone seen Mehrabs attempt at a beard yet? I guess it could be worse. It could be Mushy attempting

It may seem harsh, but there is still a lot of work to be done ahead of the 2nd test. The selectors need to seriously consider whether Mehrab will score more runs than ashraful batting at no 5 or higher. Ash may have got vital breakthroughs with the ball (and what a joy that was to watch), but he was ineffective as a batsman. The question needs to be asked, even if Ash is ultimately retained and given one last chance.
We should also avoid packing the team with spinners. We definitely need three seamers and in the absence of Mash, Robin should come in. He and shahadat can share the new ball, with rubel coming on 1st change. The windies aren't stupid, we played on a flat track in Kinsgtown, it'll be a greentop at St George's. We'll be trounced if we rely solely on spin, we need seam bowlers.
The temptation to recall Enamul is strong, but who would you drop? The only possible candidate is Riyad, and as he has just taken a 5-fer and can bat, that would be unfair.
The only changes I can see the selectors making is Robin for Mash. However, if it were down to me I’d also replace Ash with mehrab.

Here is my XI for second test:
01. Tamim Iqbal Khan: Score another century please
02. Imrul Kayes: Please rotate strike and take singles not to create unnecessary pressure on you.
03. Zunaed Siddique: Finish your unfinished business. Score 100.
04. Rokibul Hasan: I still have faith on you.
05. Shakib Al Hasan: No comment
06. Mehrab Hossain Jnr: Bat like MoYo, so that Kabir bhai can forget about your beard.
07. Mushfiqur Rahim: Keep chirping behind the stumps.
08. MUllah: Either bat well for face axe from team. I want to stop the tradition of coming to the team to bolster the batting and then hanging around in the team based on bowling
09. Mahbubul Robin: He did will in the test matches he played
10. Nazmul Hossain: Have been overlooked despite prolific performances in the SL-Zimbo home series.
11. Enamul Hoque Jnr: Take some wickets
AXE:
Ash: Come to the team when you can properly hold a bat and score some run. We now can win without your batting contribution
Shahadat: Why would we bother to take you when you spent all your energy for the run up and grunt and release the ball at a speed that is equal or less than that of S Rasel who is always overlooked because of speed?
Rubel: Great debut, but was erratic. Spend some time with the bowling coach.

Interestingly he is from English medium background and has the best accent that I've heard from any BD cricketer.

My team:
- Tamim
- Imrul
- Junaid
- Mushy (He needs to move up the order, he looked solid)
- Ashraful
- Mehrab (much better option with +bowling.)
- Shakib (better off at 7, as he plays aggressive and good for a quick fifty end of the innings)
- Mahmudullah
- Robin/Enamul (depending on the pitch, like Mash said)
- Shahadat
- Rubel
- Pavel
There will be no better feeling than seeing Shakib go in to presentation after the win. After all, he was the engineer behind first win.
The reason I wanna play 3 left armies if possible is they can put the ball at pretty much same stop and dent the pitch for the fourth innings (assuming we bat first again) After that, imagine how deadly Shakib will be!!!
