In addition to what Fazal had to say, I want to believe in Test matches you want to bring match winners. We cant afford a high scoring Test, we will lose by miles. Yet we need courageous affressive batsmen who can attack. Thats why we need Mominul and Anamul now, not Nazim or Nafees, who will be out there just to survive and score few runs in process. But that wont win us anything. Infact they will create more pressure on other batsmen down the line. Anamul might fire or might not, but if he does he will be match winner....

We also need to take 20 wickets to win, so we need a bowler who can wipe them out on day 4 or 5. That's where Enam comes, since Shak is out of form.

Test is for specialist, not for bits and pieces players. No point even taking 2 pacers, they will be hammered. Put in Enam, Sunny, Shakib and Shohag, I see WI gets bundled out within 200. Then we have a real chance.

That's why my team was
Tamim/Zunaid
Mominul/Anamul
Naeem/Shakib
Mushy/Nasir
Enam/Shohag/Shahadat

Like that great man once said, "We aren't leaving behind any Tendulkars, Sehwag" ...

IMO, this is one of the most weakest squad I have seen in most recent times. I know we all complain about squads every time, for different reasons and players, but this time I can't even complain. Because that's all we have! Besides Tamim, Shakib and Rahim (only because he's the "captain") none of these guys are fixed contender.

Mominul and Anamul can't even beat U-19 players, what makes you think they'll beat the West Indies senior team?

They are good, but putting the match-winner tag on them is premature.

Not sure which U19s, but if mominul and Anamul can't beat U19, then nazim, Nafees won't beat U10...Yes maybe a bit premature to call them match winners now, but at least they have a real potential to be a match winner...unlike Nafees...they are scorning freely in NCL where nazim and Nafees are struggling to score a double digits....on the very same pitch against exact same bowlers...

Nafees seemed like he had a lot of potential too when he started, but then he got married and fat. Hopefully the same (marriage and fatness) won't happen to Anamul/Mominul.

Anamul tore 500 taka dimu, tui biya korish na.

I wouldn't say hitting 1 century in the NCL, means scoring freely. You could term Tamim and Naeem as scoring "freely." Also it seems that your bracketing Nazim and Nafees as the same. Nafees scored a 60 in the 1st match and failed in the 2nd but didn't get a chance in the 2nd match. Nazim on the other failed to notch a 50. Also Nafees made 3 fifties in Tests in 2011 and he's hit big scores before at this level albeit, less consistently then we would have liked.

Finally your saying you want Junaid to open the innings. Don't forget he averages a 17 as opener and 32 as a #3. SN, on the other hand, averages a 27 as opener. So don't you think it's a better idea to have Nafees opening while Junaid is at #3?

He has better average than most of the BD players in test. But almost none of them came under pressure time. I am afraid Nasir might have to sit down to give Riyad a place in the team.
Check his highest scores... against India, New Zealand... almost all of them were under a pressure situation. He is batting with the tail for all of those innings and extended the team total... that is the pressure situation for test cricket...

Might as well bring back Bashar, he scored a lot of runs too back in the day too?

Riyad is my least bit of concern. I'm not all that upset that he is on the team. But why do we always go back 5 years, using 2-3 w/e available examples to justifiyr a player's current position? Makes no sense.

Riyad was great. But he was ruined when he was promoted to 4 and demoted 8 within a series, thanks to Ashraful. He hasn't scored since. And I will forever hold that against the management.

Not sure which Nafees u are talking about but the Nafees i know, 3 of his highest test scores came against Australia and Pakistan.... Period

and the Nazim i know only played 2 international match, 1 he scored brilliantly and the other he did not, against the most destructive spin attack at that moment.

And match winners? give me a break. Bangladesh has NO match winners for test cricket yet. Tamim and Shakib are doing well but they are still not Match winners for the longer version... and you think Anamul and Mominul would be match winners?

and please don't use the "potential" tag on these players. Every single player in the team has the "potential" ....

I am not trying to back Riyad based on his scores 2 years ago. However, all his good scores came under no pressure situation is not true.. Thats why i used the example of India and New Zealand.

If a player is not performing... and you want him dropped, thats fair.... but forgetting his contribution in the past isnt

Voted 50-50, because while I hate the squad and its inherent negativity, it might be a case of the selectors giving the Riyads, the SNs, the Junaids, and the Nazimuddins one last chance. If they pick the same squad for the 2nd test - even if we win the first by an innings - I'm going to go ballistic. I think if we had the warm up game, and saw what Anamul, Mominul, and others provided we would see a slightly different squad today and by different I mean progressive and not the current regressive side.

People forget about Sachin's 100 centuries once he hits couple of bad ones. You expect people to scream about Riyad's "pressure situation" 1.98 centuries?

What if we win the first Test by an inning AND the Riyads, the SNs, the Junaids and the Nazimuddins all make big scores?

Forget about Riyad's batting. He is about to drop bunch of catches, keeping his eyes closed like that.

Naeem i have to say is a good inclusion. Im really dissapointed that Mominul hasnt got his chance.

Think about it. If West Indies say they are happy with the conditions then we are f***** big time if Shahadat and Abul are in the same line up together. Nazmul should have been in the team.

I think selecting from Enamul, Elias & Sohag is really tough. Elias shouldnt be dropped just because Enamul is doing well in the domestics. Elias has been bowling well for the national team and doesnt deserve to be dropped. So it was a toss up between Enamul and Sohag the whole time. SOhag does add variety but he will strengthen the batting a bit which might come in handy. So really it was a hard decision.

I don't think we should rely on Shohag's batting at all. Elias Sunny has 3 centuries and 8 50's in FC cricket, yet he doesn't seem to know how to hold a bat when playing for the national team. I know Gazi isn't Sunny, but an average of 27 in the world's best FC league isn't really flattering. Play him as a bowler, expect Pfeiffers, but don't expect anything from his bat. He will likely score no more than SN, i.e. a big fat Javed Omar Belim Golla.

i am not happy with selection. SN, nazimuddin and abul dont deserve position according to current form. mahmudullah is off form too, rubel just get back from injury, mushy is also not in good form. too many off form players. surprised not to see enam jr, i think we could place 3 spinner and 2 pacer in this match

my ideal selection wud have been

tamim
junaid
anamul/jahurul/mominul
naeem
mushfiq
shakib
nasir/ sohag gazi
sohag gazi/enamul jr
elias sunny
shahadat
rubel
