So why fixing something which isn't broken?
Why do you think he is hopeless? From BC forum here, I got the idea that he is a better keeper than Mushy. A lot of us wanted Dhiman to take up keeping and Mushy to focus on batting only.
Did you base your opinion because what he had said in the ICL time?

I only saw one match he kept against AUS so I don't have much to go by here.

I saw him last time which was probably when Aus visited, he looked nervous & shaky.


Anyway,I think dropping one or two catches happens to every wicket keeper, just because it's Mushy we go overboard with it.

yes I agree with you look at current India vs Eng test Dhoni and Prior both dropped easy catches.. so why we are complaining all the time about Rahim. Why not talking about his some good catches, some of them were at a time brilliant. I think Rahim is the best keeper what we have right now.

Rahim Alhamdulillah! has indeed improved on his keeping skills even if it be little since last couple of years. However, it is the lack of focus or sometimes distracted presence of mind which leads him to drop dollies(and many of our fielders as well.....)
I am no longer very confident about Jahurul. Rahim's keeping might have improved a little, but his keeping is way below the international standard, IMHO.

The reason i want Mushfiq to drop the gloves for tests is so he can entirely focus in batting at #4. Dont want him to get tired from keeping all day. We need Mushfiq to be solid up the order because frankly we do not have any other options.

in tests it's a very good idea for mushy to focus on batting imo, in LOIs he should probably still keep.

If my memory serves me right, he dropped Bravo in the 4th ODI. He also allowed a number of bye and leg-bye fours that should have been stopped.

Everyone drops catches, but competent ones drop less. Mushfiqur drops more.

Who do you want to see keep in tests so his focus is not solely on batting at any position and not get tired? With our brittle bating line up do we have the luxury to take a keeper solely on his keeping ability even if we had such quality? Don't think so.

Should we make Anamul that work horse when he's yet to play his first test? Even after he plays a few more tests it won't be wise to give him the double duty before he finds his feet at the international level.

Fact of the matter is, we can complain all we want but there's none really better keeper/ batter package of a player out there for us to replace Mushy which is a sad thing.

dhiman is the best option if we want a keeper who isn't mushy but can also bat. he's done pretty well in the NCL and yes there is a big jump from NCL to test cricket but he's still a good option imo, he's quality with the gloves and has good batting potential. but the selectors always prefer to choose an extra batsman anyway and dhiman doesn't make it as one of the best 8 batsmen in BD therefore he doesn't get into the team. but as a keeper batsman package he's actually a good option imo.

no better options with experience, but mominul and shuvagata are great prospects imo.

Just as you said, there's a huge gap in quality between NCL and International level and until I see someone personally cannot speak of their caliber.

But who do you see Dhiman's batsmanship can topple in the current batting line up in Test? Forget one day; I think for ODI Mushy is fine since prices are higher to pay in tests than ODI's when one makes a mistake so it would be advisable to have a better keeper in tests.

Tbh, I do not see Nayeem's place in any team of our teams. Though he played gem of a inning (I believe it was a fluke) in the first test. But he's very limited and can be exposed once opponent figures him out which is why he was out playing stupid shots match after match. I think he should be replaced with Anamul who proved that he can bat for a long time though he too is technically questionable but far superior to MOKKA (not Mecca) Nayeem.

well as i said i don't think dhiman is in the top 8 BD batsmen in the country thus he wouldn't topple any of the batsmen in the current line-up, but that's just on batting. i think with his keeping ability he maybe worth it over one of the batsmen in tests.

That's the same mindset I feel the selectors have as well. They think, Dhiman as a package doesn't offer as much as Mushy which is why he continues to get overlooked.

Maybe we have to wait for Nurul Hasan to develop before we see Mushy taking off the gloves. Until then, it's unlikely it'll happen.

You are right that the selectors are unlikely to replace Mushfiqur as keeper even if he drops a catch or two per match. Our best hope is someone new who can bat and keep. Let's see if Nurul Hasan can do this.

This is a relatively new phenomenon. Before, the keeper would be selected based on keeping. If they could bat, it was considered a plus. But, the thinking is flawed. One dropped catch can turn a match, as we saw in the T20.

i know it's relatively new, though it's been the regular thinking for probably a decade now.

until mushfiq thinks he should be stop keeping and somebody else may be given a chance we wont see a new keeper.

or if sometimes mushy gets injured we might see a new keeper.

anyway the chances he missed of samuels again ZIA was tough one. even if he had coaught it it wouls have not been his credit, it would have been luck.

against spinners or slow medium pacers when a keeper stands up, he has very little time to react if there is thick edge and ball deviates. and it gets harder when the ball deviates opposte to the ball was spinning or drifting in as wicket keepers general body movement and momentum is towards the natural angle of the ball and as if the batsman will hit it and he would never need to gather the ball or the batsman will miss the ball and he will get the ball. but if there is an edge and it deviates the opposite way of the wicket keeprs momentum it very hard to shift momentum

anyway mushfiq has also missed some easier ones at times but i am not sure whether there is a better keeper at the moment in BD who is less prone to mistakes.

so all we can hope is mushfiq becomes lees prone to mistakes in future.

Those who said Dhiman needs be given chance need to watch him in the BPL. His keeping didn't look that great last year and today he was just worse than Mushy in his early days.

He has lost his keeping skills half of what he had when he played for BD 6 years ago.

Even Anamul made some silly mistake in last two games but he can be in the team as a batsman along (and will improve his wk skills with time just like mushy), but Dhiman can't, and nowadays nobody values a wicket keeper if they can't bat.

^Saw Dhiman keep and bat a couple of years ago and he looked good enough to seem better if not too good for his surroundings. Didn't see him bat or keep last year so can't really comment on his game either way, but won't be surprised at all if it has declined somewhat. Our players tend to be oversensitive and lazy underachivers (AKA sissies) who can stay that way yet don't have scoring runs in casual and semi to non-competitive domestic cricket tragically called "FC: and "List A".

Having said all that, Sohan seems the more sustainable solution provided he doesn't decline before he's ready for the highest level.

Mushfiq has probably been the best keeper in BPL so far.

From what I've seen so far of all the Bangladeshi keepers, Mushy has been the best one. That take off Nannes was brilliant although it was a no ball so it didn't count. Anamul's looked shaky so far.

Mushy is undoubtedly one of the better WK in world cricket right now. Funny what some armchair pundits vomits out here in BC!

I was surprised by how ordinary Dhiman looked behind the stumps. His keeping has really deteriorated since I last saw him. And he seems to have gained a bit of weight as well. He was very lean a few years ago.

I have always said Bijoy is an ordinary keeper and that he is not better than Mushy. Those who watched him keep for the first time will have now realised this. Nurul Hasan might be a compact keeper but his batting is non-existent. He won't play international cricket if he can't bat.

Mushy is the best we got.
