This guy I really rate. He has fulfilled a variety of roles for BD - but how can he best be utilised?
I feel he should open the batting with Shahriar and at the same time allow BD to play 3 out and out seamers with Rafique as the no 1 spinner.

If you really do, put a helmet on, before your next post in ths forum

By the way, I'm probably the biggest fan of him around here, and I would still not want to open with him. Even if he can do it, what is the point of two leftie opener anyway? But I'd sure want him in the team. If players like him and pilot are lower down the order, top order can play their natural game knowing there are those two to stop the collaspes if needed. And in ODI, he is the 2nd best spinner. No doubt about that.

I think Razzak bowled well in the series and he also seems a better bowler than Manjarul although Manjarul is a good batsman too. Maybe he is the unlucky one and has to be the reserve spinner against Australia. Actuallly he played as a Batting allrounder yesterday but I think he is a bowling allrounder. So, no chance of that.
