Poll: Are you pissed that Mushfiq is not included as a batsmen or a keeper???

[Sadz]

that was very very poor decision making from the selectors. First of all KM batted long long innings against india and ended up with single figures and same happened in the practice game. He may be good as a wicket keeper but not good enough in batting. mushy is good for both but obviously for batting. I understand the experience idea but some1 might be so good but never ever played because he was new to the teamor some1 who played every1 single game but plays poor;y. I would go for the first some1, 100 percent sure.

[bulbul_fan]

pathetic decision to include masud..he is horrible...
i dont undrstnd wht our slctrs r doing??

[al Furqaan]

i knew these worthless nostalgic selectors could possible spell our doom...those self proclaimed know it alls couldn't play back in their day, and are keeping out young cats that can.

utter BS, i haven't been this upset in a loooong time. my BP has gone up considerably...

I think the management gave out confusing signals when they played Mushfiq in the practice match. They must have considered him as batsmen because he was not the keeper according to the TIgercricket scorecard (cricinfo scorecard showed Mushy as keeper). Mushfiq batted pretty well for his 31 with the tail... it's not like he never played a test match as a batsmen... Mushfiq is a player who can play in position.

On the contrary, if mushfiq played the practice match as a keeper, there is no reason to exclude him unless his keeping was horrible. I don't think this is the case.

Trigger_Ti, don't be mad at me

Do the Bangladesh selectors have an iq under 40? or do they just love to witness the team lose?

[Anher]

lets think about it in another way. Why selector included 2 specialist wicketkeeper in 15man squad?. They still didnt lose all faith on pilot and dont feel safe by selecting him either. They also not confident that musfiq is surely safe. I believe they have decided no matter what they will play pilot in first test if he dont deliver will be dropped from test squad for the first time cos of performance.

My question to you what will you do??? do you feel safe including only musfiq as a specialist keeper in 15man squad?

[One World]

I think its not IQ. There may be silent politics inside that we never hear of.

[IanW]

Nahh, I'm not pissed from that.

It was the five Coronas at the bar earlier.

Mushfiq is probably the best batsman of spin in the team and yet he is not there to face Murali. I got just got very much astonished.

[mali007]

Mushfique is just replica of Dinesh Kartik. Dinesh can bat in the middle as well as in the
opening position. Being a WK Indian selectors included him as a batsman for his performance, side lining legend batsmen like Yuvoraj Singh and Laksman. But our immature, unprofessional selectors did not learn from knowledgeble Indian counter part !!! We could not drop out of form SN for neputism ( Relative of selectors ) and Sakib. With only two seamers and plenty of spinners SL batsmen will be in bating spree!! I will not be surprised if SL scored 700 plus run !!!!

i thought he was weak against spin, but of course any 17 year old would struggle against murali on turning bangladeshi wickets.

i agree to most of wat u say there bro!!
this is kinda politics wat is goin on ... nothin else... i mean mushi was also teh backbone of the worldcup match against india which we are all dancing about today!!... how could they hav forgotten that? and that was wat brought about another refreshed look of confidence into bd!!... and that match was not one of those which was single handedly won by ash... it should very wel be credited to mushi aswell... he played a SOLID innings that day... very very solid!!!... and he played rite from the start till the very end.. and id say he was so solid that he could hav gone on for a much much longer innings that day if it was a test match... that was test style batting.. and we all should be aware that he is capable of that... hes got that style and persistence with the bat...
it is totally unreasonable to call him off coz hes young... i mean SHEEESH.. hes much much more mature with the bat than alot of our players... and he definately should get khaled mashuds place!!
KM oouuutttt... and mushi in....

[Protic]

Lets take it this way.. They are giving KM a chance.. i mean he did a lot for us.. So he does deserves a chance..so if he's dropped later..no one can complain..and they want to play Mushy and thats why they took him..rite? So Let KM play this match ..if he performs..he remains and mushy gets a chance for the person (batter) who doesnt performs in the first test..and if KM doesnt perform..Mushy to be the automatic WK/Batsman after him.

[PoorFan]

I am pissed because both Javed and Pilot is in final eleven, one of them would have enough IMO.

I can bet he'll still complain. He's that greedy sort...kinda like the girl whose video I posted in the "Funny YouTube videos" thread. "If you drop me, you'll be the loser, not me. I won't lose anything, but you'll lose a talent like me". As if.

[voodoo_dreams]

I real gem, no matter how much dirt you cover it up with, sooner or later is bound to be reckoned with. Mushi’s still young, he’ll have his fair shot at proving himself.

[Mav]

This is what u call seniority complex.......sobgula [edit].....
The older generation cant still think positively....the [edit]seniority things comes here, and out of form players like khaled mashud gets in the 11.

Bangali joti otota positive hoto, tahole Bangladesh r ajker bangladesh thakto na.
I Dont attach too much of emotion and time with cricket anymore, cuz i have seen these happening again and again.

So, i am more of an observer than a crazy fan with cricket now.

[Baundule]

What is the difference between lau and kodu?

[rafiq]

I honestly thought Mushfiq would have had a chance when Mortaza went down with a bad back....Mushfiq is a capable opening bowler...what, he hasn't really bowled for us before?...no worries, he can play a few tests and get experience opening our bowling while mashrafee applies ice and cools off.....
