Our spinners

DilzLFC · #1 June 9, 2019, 02:44 PM

Shakib - is great with slow left arm orthodox but he isn't a natural spinner of any sort, it's normally clever slow bowling.

Mehidy - off spinner typical off spin bowler but doesn't have any variety.

Mosaddek - off spinner

We don't have a leg spinner nor do we have anyone who can deliver the googly or doosra.

For a nation who produces spinners/slow bowlers for fun where is our leg spinner? SA have Tahir, India have Yadav, Jedhav and Chawal, England have Rashid, Aussies have Zampa well you get the drift.

Even our spin bowlers are one dimensional.

These are the leg spinners who are available in the current set up:

Rishad hossain, Jubair Hossain, Minhajul abedin Afridi, Mohammad Rakib.

It's a hard skill. Lots of youngins in Bd are taking it up though given that the media have focused on this a lot in recent times. They are really thirsty to develop a leg spinner, by hook or by crook. So someone will pop up.

But before finding someone with that advanced a skill, shouldn't we first get a taller wicket-keeper who can actually keep? Baby steps.

We have a very good WK in our squad named Liton Das. How do we get little Mushfiq off that spot?

This is a post I made about why Bangladesh's domestic structure doesn't support leg spinners.

So BD cricket is ignoring the issue. Why am I not surprised?

^We have someone ever better out of rotation right now called Nurul Hasan, aka Amazing Nurul. But anyone besides dwarf would do at the moment.

How do we do it? You tell me. Spreading the word here won't be enough. I've joined this forum in 2012, from what I've seen Bd fans are quick to forgive and forget, leading to the growth of such cancers in the team who abuse the system. If you have an idea, please do share.

We have sir ashraful matin......who can bowl leg spin.

Even sabbir used to bowl leg spin in his under 19 days regulalry. Not anymore regular these days. Bowls more long hops then good lenght deliveries

One World · #9 June 9, 2019, 09:33 PM

Need a specialist wrist spinner like Warne

I remember Sabbir being good with his leg spin during U-19 days. Perhaps he should try to perfect it again.

BengaliPagol · #11 June 9, 2019, 09:40 PM

lol zampa. He got pumped yesterday with his atrocious bowling. Don't insult Shakib by mentioning him and Zampa in the same sentence thanks.

When you can get easy wickets in the domestic tournaments who would bother sharpening their craft? Indians spinners are good because they have to be or else they would get murdered in the Ranji tournament.

Again indian batsman are good because they play better bowlers in domestic cup.

I wasn't comparing Shakib to anyone, forgot to add Rashid Khan to that list as well. Just saying we have two off spinners but no leggys.

I have seen a video of him somewhere in the past. He looked to be very good.

Night_wolf · #20 June 12, 2019, 09:57 PM

Zubair is a crime for that our Team is suffering for currently in the WC. He was and still is a great talent. Check out his googly to bowl kholi

it was his and BCB boths incompetency that he is now not even in domestic picture. I wont blame zubair much. he was 20 and we make many mistakes when we are 20. But BCB let Zubair go. you have a good leggie in a country where there are no leggie and you do not even help him get a domestic team. BCB dropped the ball here

We should seriously consider grroming these legspimmers..... Just because they may leak runs.... We use SLAs instaed to keep it tight in domestic matches.... The domestic captains and team management are not good enough to utilize and support a leg spinner with proper field in a wicket taking strategy.

We need to expand the DPL T20 for that. Make every team play each other once and they will play 11 games at least. We just saw in the DPL T20 that all the teams started bringing in legspinners who hadn't played a List A games for years and they were starting.

Legspinners and power-hitters to end the innings can be found through domestic T20 competition and not BPL which is a money making league.

We need to groom a wrist spinner who will be as chubby and short like Warne and will also have thick fatty arms so he can just copy paste what Warne shows in his instruction youtube videos.

Would love to have a Chinaman too

We can copy the chubby part (dui bela bhat or biriyani treatment

) but the skill part not so sure

adamnsu · #25 June 16, 2019, 05:12 AM

Good spinners have to be mentally strong, disciplined, intelligent and aggressive apart from being skilled ofcourse.

All the top spinners had all of this and didnt rely just on the pitch.

Our spinners lack in all departments. Yes they have some limited skills otherwise they wouldn’t be playing international cricketp
