Yes, everyone has talked about it when we've won, I repeat we've won despite of poor captaincy of rahim, despite of Walsh, despite of poor selection

[MHRAM]

Better team selection, captaincy, and shuffling of LHB would have definitely help us win the game, but ALAS!

[oronnya]

Why do you guys always blame Mushy? I think when it comes to test captaincy everyone in our team has the similar approach. None is more qualified than Mushy. It actually not only Mushy who captains, Shakib-Tamim gets equally involved. All three of these senior players takes the decision together on field and I don't see anything different to happen under Shakib or Tamim. They are not Mash. We have to wait long to get a Mash quality captain in test. For now stick with Mushy as nothing will change if you sack him rather it will create too much pressure on Shakib-Tamim. I don't think either of these two are capable of taking those extra pressure.

You guys know how proud of a feeling that is.

How many teams would die to have a captain of his leadership skills and expertise?

Correlation =/= causation though. Anyone who's watched Mushy's capitaincy, even in the matches which were won, wouldn't say he was good at all. His captaincy is generally poor and it'd be better if he's replaced (but with whom is another question). It's not knee jerk.

Sarcasm man

Yes Mushy is defensive, his bowler rotation is not good but
He leads from the front with the bat
his glove work has improved a lot
He is sharp with reviews

So for me he just needs to become more attacking, that's all.

Warner on field setting:

“You pretty much felt in from ball one with the fields that they set; they didn't really have any attacking men around the bat compared to last game. It allowed me just to rotate the strike and not really have any need to leave the crease all the time."

How long does it take a person to understand the basics of the game! Mushy seems to have learnt nothing from time when he had to step down after a horrendous Zimbabwe tour.

This logic is flawed

He leads from the front with the bat, yes, but you don't need to be a captain to do that

His keeping has improved but it's not any better than Litton and certainly miles behind Nurul

He's got 2 right and 8 wrong with the reviews when Smith is going at 50%

Mushfiq has no basic understanding of captaincy, he's not even a good defensive captain, cook was a good defensive captain, so no it's not simply him needing to be more aggressive, he can't understand the flow of the game, he doesn't understand the bowlers needed in particular time, he doesn't understand how to manage a bowlers spell, he can't set a good field, he doesnt have the basic understanding of how to set up a wicket

A good number of posters would be better captains than him ffs

i think so too

[Max100]

i think next captain will be miraz. he has lots of under 19 captaincy experience and he seems like level headed, or may be mominul-if he is regular again

Mominul will never be near the leadership group. Look at his body language. A lot of our fans have strange admiration for 'gobechara' type personalities ie. Mominul, Mahmudullah.

[Roey Haque]

Total garbage. I bet he is quite content drawing the series. Uninspiring piece of trash.

[Zeeshan]

Thank you. ^^^

We needed to hear this. It's about time.

We were screaming about this in the match threads. I hope all major news paper highlights Warner's comments and we can get rid of mushfiq the captain for good.

So far havent seen a single newspaper highlighting this. They are busy glorifying the series draw against mighty Australia. So jeu lau shei kodu

correlation doesnt exclude cuasation either.

Look at smith's field settings...he had only 2 men around the bat when we were 70-5.

we like to think teams always employ 7 slips when that isnt true except in Roey's wet dreams.

Rahims captaincy was terrible up till the 2015 SA series. thats when he started attacking because we had decent bowlers.

if it was all about having 5 slips, India would have won an overseas test in the last 3 years by now. they only play like a hundrerd every year.

[DinRaat.]

Wow, if BDeshi's are so happy with the draw, I don't think they should play competitive sports, you shouldn't settle on mediocrity.

[MHRAM]

Instead of commenting lets see the actual scenario. Like A F bhai said, Mushy's captaincy has improved over the years. We saw aggressive field settings in 2015 vs SA. However, we did see mushy relapse to his old state.

This was the case on the 2nd day, which allowed Warner and Renshaw to get Aus to 225-2, but on the 3rd day Rahim was far more proactive which allowed us to get the next 8 wickets for 150 runs

[al Furqaan]

why do you think Mushy magically became proactive on day 3? its because the pitch started turning.

you can change captains but Shakib, Tamim wont be any better. mash perhaps but hes retired. just have to wait till Miraz is ready.

bigger issue is picking guys like Imrul Sabbir and playing them out of position and not playing Mominul. also have the wrong guy at slips and bat pad catchers that suck.

Mushfiqur has to attend Brendon McCullum's captaincy coaching school.

He hasn't learnt anything under mashrafe, he's a lost hope

You know so little about our cricket/all cricket it's amazing

It's like saying a Crystal Palace shouldn't be happy with a top 10 finish because they didn't win the league

Our players can't rotate strike, no pressure to block off singles, Australia do just that
