Musfiq or Pilot for worldcup?

As we all know Musfiq showed some impressive form against zimbabwe, he deserves a chance ahead of Pilot but if we go with experience pilot comes first. I think it will be unfair to anyone who will be left out.. who do you think the selectors should choose?

Pilot should be chosen if they pick 1 keeper because of his experience.

they have to pck 2 WK because if 1 gets hurt you need a back up. Pilot plays vs India if he's bad vs India don't play Rahim vs Vass/Malingia and Murali leave that to pilot and let Rahim play vs Bermuda.

Sorry this thread has just become useless. They picked Mushfiq over KM.

Team already announced???

If Musfiq has already been chosen over Pilot then i think its really bad for a veteran like Pilot. Now lets see what Musfiq can do against big guns..

I would like to see pilot in tests more than ODIs now!

Very hard decision, I like Pilot, he has been serving us for longtime, and I think he deserves a place in WC squad. There is no doubt about his keeping ability, he is the best keeper we have but we really need someone who can bat too. Recently Pilot is off of his batting form (some might argue, so do our other batsmen). I would select both Pilot and Musfiq. I would let Pilot play against India and Sri Lanka and let Musfiq play against Burmuda. I think Pilot should announce his retirement from ODI in this WC, it could be a very honorable farewell for him.

I want an option that says "Both"

Mushi for Indian ODI series too.

sar2005 · #11 February 13, 2007, 02:25 PM

Looks like I am the only one voted for both as it is lately implemented by Nasif Bahi.
Both instead of JO. Since JO is there, it should be Mushfiq.

Seems like Pilot's ODI career is atleast over.

Well, I guess those SMS voters that protesting Pilot's exclusion are not BC members, at least, most of them are not

this reminds me of the beggining of the iraq war, as soon as it started 90% of americans supported it, just weeks before 60%, and today of course 35% or so.

i assure you mushy did not have near 70% support, but since he's been selected, most BC fans are doing the sensible thing, and supporting him.
