Shahriar Nafees vs. Ashraful for lower-order position?

[Baundule]

On a serious note, if we need to cry for the technically limited player like SN, what the great coach has been doing about developing batsmen over the past 3 years?

[M.H.Rubel]

Few days ago Siddons said that SN is a very good spin player.He is a top order batsman so actually i was interested to give the #4 to SN but as it is not taken by Mushy so no way but to think #7 for him.SN can utilize power plays and as our couch think him a good spin player then where is the problem playing him in
#7 ?

I wouldn't play him at 7, in place of Ash. I'd play SN at 3, in place of Siddique- if he fails to pull his crap together on 3rd game

[al-Sagar]

ash could have easily tried to steer that ball through third man ... ....

any way SN to me will be able to play at NO 6,7 and do a good job because as a top order batsman he normally starts his innings when there is the mandatory PP's are on. he has the capability of playing over the top shots and shots through gaps. besides he can rotate the strike well and plays spin well. and there wont be any seam movement which is his weakness

though, its true ..... Best position for nafees is to play at three

No way SN is at 7. If he plays, he should be in the top order and should replace JS.
The main reason behind that is if he plays at No. 7, we will be severely shorthanded in the bowling side. We will have only 5 bowlers: Two pacers, razzak, sakib, naeem/shuvo/mullah. What if one of them is subpar on a give day? We need atleast one more who is a parttime bowler i.e. ash/ shuvo/mullah.

I am disillusioned with Naeem and very close with Riyad. Naeem should go. If Riyad stays, he should come at #3 or #4.

Sorry. I should have replied to another person's post.

SN at 3 replacing Junaid and Junaid replacing Nayeem at 8.

Same team as the Ireland game. Naeem did okay in that match plus his fielding was good. His off-spinners could be more than handy against WI lefties. And, you gotta keep playing Ashraful, especially, after his heroics in the last game.

So, winning combo for me.

Mohammed Ashraful safed himself from Shakib al Hasan's Big KnockOut Punch. This time he was so lucky that he bowled well, His batting is still poor. Am I wrong to say that the supporters of Asharful does'nt know about cricket. If a player fails to perform the whole year, what should you do?, lets look at country example, England, Australi, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka = drop them. Bangladesh = (keep them). This is a fact, all the supporters of Ashraful Does'nt Like RaQibul, Why?. In fact RaQibul Hasan is the most consistent player in the team!!!. If Ashraful gets a chance in Next Game well thats becuase of his Bowling.

Two wickets in a weird pitch against Irish batsmen is nothing extraordinary engh to keep Ash for the next match & that also against players like GAyle,Chanderpaul etc.
SN deserves a chace here but I'm sure Ash wont be dropped.
