Should selectors change the winning combination

Miraz · #1 March 17, 2006, 09:27 AM

Next game will be played in Khulna. Manjural Islam Rana is the local boy and has got all the potential to be in the first XI. On the other hand this combination won the first ODI professionally and change in the squad is unnecessary.

But our selectors have got the tradition of playing local heroes and also making controversial decisions.

What should be the strategy?

What do you feel?

They easily could because of the competition. They are no threat to us. I say now it the time to test whole new strategies. If not in the second match but definitely the 3rd or the 4th match. Give Rajin a chance at opening get his confidence back. Rana should have been playing anyways instead of Alok all along.

I am ready to label Kapali the most unlucky player to ever play cricket and drop him permanently, I am sick of him getting out unluckyly, bring in Rana.

Tigers_eye · #4 March 17, 2006, 09:40 AM

he is luckiest player to get into the team in the first place.

PoorFan · #5 March 17, 2006, 09:48 AM

Alok or Rana I dont mind, but we must need back to back win.

Tigers_eye · #6 March 17, 2006, 09:54 AM

(back to back)^2 wins.

Carte Blanche · #7 March 17, 2006, 09:55 AM

Quiz time.

Who'll be the happiest if Rana is included in the team?
hint: he is a Matrix fan

Correct.

Miraz · #9 March 17, 2006, 10:28 AM

Any way if some one is to be dropped in place of Rana he should be Razzak not Alok

well he wasnt that bad yesterday though. he was pretty tight. besides rana might be the local boy. but we are bangladesh and not australia or some other country that we have to play players of that region. i dont think there is any need for changing the winning combination. yes alok did bad. pathetic to say the least. but i really do not want to change a winning combination. besides as i said before rajjak was good too. so there is no point of bringing in rana right now.

Some u19 players can be tested here. Having said that I think Kaneya is better team then they showed in the first ODI. We should put a strong team in all the ODI to make sure no game slip up.

well i actually dont support the idea of bringing in u19 players rite now. we just won one match. there is still 3 more to go. so the series is still not in our hands. so at this stage i dont think there is any reason to experiment.

Yes !! Nice comment !

shujan · #15 March 17, 2006, 11:05 AM

Remember our previous U19 coach McCain!

His students are kicking A$$. Does he still visit the site? I miss his valuable analysis about our team.

istiak · #16 March 17, 2006, 11:21 AM

I hope no change!

fwullah · #17 March 17, 2006, 12:05 PM

So far, my words have been proven wrong by the national team.

However, keeping the tradition going, I would say to make at least a couple of changes in the next match, in order to be consistent.

Since we all know that our team is incapable of being consistent, (and thus, Shahriar Nafees will be out very cheaply next match, Aftab Ahmed WILL BE OUT this time very quickly (first time when he gives a catch, he'll not be dropped), and that both Mashrafee and Rafique will fail miserably with the bat.

Keeping all these things in mind, I say a few changes are necessary.

1. Bring in Rana in place of Razzak
2. Javed Omar should not be playing - bring in Nafees Iqbal in his place
3. Rajin Saleh or Md. Rafique should be oping in place of Shahriar Nafees

And also, since Ashraful will fail again, in the next match and throughout this series since he was hugely successful in the last series vs. SL so we'll have no hope left for the next match

Mcinnes is a trained PE instructor and performance analyst. unfortunately

he never played cricket beyond amatuer level. on the other hand Shain Williams
and the present U-19 coach de winter are bonafide First class Australian players.
Cricket being cricket i wouldn't put much value on McInnes ability to spot talent.
He dropped SNafees from the playing eleven, threw out Aftab from the camp and
got into a fight with Nafees iqbal. only aftab & nafees's prodigious reputation compelled
the selectors to prevail on mcInnes. Mcinnes is now doing what he was trained to do. A support staff
,a performance analyst for the main coaching team. he should stick to his lap-top

nemo · #19 March 17, 2006, 12:12 PM

ironically none of Mcinnes favourite players have performed anywhere
near SN, AA & NI.

I see you are the most pessimistic person in the world. You always find half of the glass empty when half is full.

Continuation of FW's logic of doing the opposite:

1. Ash will hit a century
2. Bashar will keep his name as mr. fifty
3. mashree will get a 5-fer

so, eventually we gonna be leading 2-0.

Minor correction: When the glass is full she still finds it half empty.

Razzak was bowling crap but not as badly as Rafique. Raw-freak had a 300 run total to bowl to, and when he came on, Kenya was already out of the match. Yet Rafique continued bowling flat and on the legs. Does DW not talk to him?

Kapali was bhua as well. All those leg side wides! And then there was Masree - huffing and puffing and banging it short when he was getting prodiguous swing when ball was pitched up.

To be honest, the last 30 overs, our bowling was pura bhua! So absolutely, sub out Razzak.
