All about Mashrafe Mortaza

[Banglaguy]

He is a player who, say played for Aus, Eng, SA, would be amazing. It's just these conditions don't help, and neither does the support.

He wasn't guided properly from the very beginning. That is why he had to have so many operations. Fast bowlers are like delicate flower. The board had no policies on taking care of prospects as such 10 years back.

I wish Mashrafee's speedy recovery. He is a fighter and a valuable player for team BD.

Best of luck Mashrafe. But most likely he is not going to be able to play internationals in this year.

[lamisa]

best of luck to mash! bechara, i feel very sad for him

[roman]

I will not expect him back in the national team anytime soon. He'll be in my prayers. All the best Mash...

^^ I think you are right
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) physician Dr. Debashish Chowdhury informed that it will take time for Mashrafe to regain full fitness this time. According to his timeline, the country's leading paceman has hardly any chance to make his international return this year.

“Normally it takes four to six months to fully recover from this kind of injury after operation but for Mashrafe the case is altogether a different one because the knee was operated on earlier. I think it will take time, at least seven to eight months,” informed Debashish

Mashrafe has contributed immensely, for a while, he was our spearhead bowler. but now the other pacers, namely Rubel and Shafiul has caught up to him. he needs to drop the attitude "he is god's gift to Bangladesh" and improve his gameplay. he needs to come back strong.

i thought mashrafe was such an exciting player first time i saw him in a test match. mashrafer sei rup ar dekhi nai test e. ODI te yes, but test e no. hopefully, he comes back strong.

Rubel and Shafiul have NOT caught up to him. Safiul is a minnow basher and gets hammered by the big teams. Rubel is Shanto 2.0 , absolutely no ability to swing the ball!

^^ didn't see that reverse swinger in the last game against new zealand which won us the game?

[Banglaguy]

^^^ One delivery does not make one "Amazing", IMO, rubel ain't that bad but far from int'l standard atm

Disagreed big time there. Rubel might not look pretty but his records are not bad at all, especially for his age as well. If you compare his records against the test playing nations in ODIs with Mash then you can see his records are pretty similar.

Rubel actually averages higher then Mash and his econ rate isn't that far apart. Rubel averages a 40 while Mash averages a 42, Rubel's econ rate is a 6.07 and Mash's is a 5.23.

I know stats don't tell us everything, but the fact is Rubel is a decent bowler. I don't know why some people put him down. Also consider the fact that he's only 20 years old. So not a bad average at all for such a young bowler. Give him 4-5 years and he'll be a fine bowler for us.

I can't stand people calling him a minnow basher. It's way to early to call him that. Because of his bowling against England we won that game in England. Also against New Zealand, he's done very good as well. Those 2 teams are not minnows by any means. Yes he does gets smashed and has gotten smashed badly but that doesn't mean he's a minnow basher. His record against test teams in ODIs is similar to Mash's as well. Give him time and he'll be a good bowler for us as well.

[simon]

^^ok he is not a mb:minnow basher but he is far too inconsistent.

[Sohel]

Those who call Mortaza a "minnow basher" only humiliate themselves with their ignorance. He may be one of the worst bowlers ever to bowl at death, or someone with a sulking and repetitive weight problem, but a "minnow basher"? C'mon guys!

At his best, he's one of the best new ball bowlers in ODIs, almost always providing a breakthrough with those first 5 overs of lethal bowling.

lol,Sohel bhai u got us wrong,we were talking about Shafi not Mashrafee.

[Avik]

Rubel was one of my least favorite players in the bd team, but then i saw him bowl against NZ in a test match. he got one wicket, with the cost of a lot of runs. but he bowled many overs, with a distinct plan. he kept bowling the same line and length, and the batsman cudnt hit him.

it is unlucky he hasnt come to the spotlight, because he didnt get his big performance in. Rubel is no where near Shanto. Shanto was a pretty bad bowler actually now that i think back. but Rubel is far more talented, far faster (he was bowling in the 90s) and far more disciplined. I think he needs a breakthrough, he will be highlighted. good thing is, the team knows about rubel, and he will be in the team despite not being a HUGE performer.

maybe rubel and shaiful hasnt caught up to mashrafe at peak form. i wud still prefer mashrafe, but these days, he gets injured so much! and he never got back his original self after getting injured and shakib getting promoted. rubel and shafiul has been carrying our fast bowling for quite a bit now, and they have performed. Rubel was simply stunning in the banglawash. if you have seen them, you just cannot forget his thunderous yorkers to finish NZ and complete the banglawash.

it will be great if Mashrafe comes back in full swing, but i have been wishing/saying that for a year now, wishful thinking, but at the back of my mind, i feel we will never see that happen.

[Tiger444]

^I prefer Mash over both as well. With the new ball, as Sohel bhai said, is great. He has better control with the new ball then both of them. Also its important to keep the experienced guys around. Its something we really need if we want to continue to become better. Just wanted to point out that Shafiul and Rubel are doing well so far and if they keep on improving, they could be great pacers.

^^^ sorry, but mash averages 32, not 42, mash's economy is below 5, rubel 5.50 +. RUbel is far too inconsistent. I guess the only up about rubel is he can still bowl moderately fast (as mash has cut down his pace drastically). And he has these ''moments'' which are good I guess. But grooming him properly might do the trick

[Tiger444]

^bro, if you had read my post carefully I had compared them in terms of their play against the G8. Not the overall average. So Mash averages a 42 against the G8 while Rubel averages a 40 and Mash's econ rate is a 5.23 and Rubel's is a 6.07. Again this is only against G8 teams. Again remember the fact that Rubel is still very young. I was impressed with his bowling in the WC. I felt he bowled consistently there. He seems to be making progress which is always good to see.

that he is, hands down. and has been so since his debut at age 18 with zero first class experience.

মাশরাফির হাঁটুতে সফল অস্ত্রোপচার

ঢাকা: মাশরাফির চোট আক্রান্ত ডান হাঁটুতে সফল অস্ত্রোপচার হয়েছে। অস্ট্রেলিয়ান সময় বুধবার বিকেল সাড়ে পাঁচটায় মেলবোর্নে অস্ত্রোপচার করেন শৈল্যবিদ ডেভিড ইয়াং।

এনিয়ে নড়াইল এক্সপ্রেসের হাঁটুতে চতুর্থবারের মতো কাটাছেঁড়া করলেন এই চিকিৎসক। আগের মতো এবারও অস্ত্রোপচার শেষে চিকিৎসক সন্তুষ্টি প্রকাশ করেছেন বলে জানান বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট বোর্ড (বিসিবি)’র মিডিয়া ম্যানেজার রাবীদ ইমাম।

হাঁটুর অস্ত্রোপচার শেষে মেলবোর্ন অর্থোপেডিক সেন্টার ক্লিনিকে নিবিড় পরিচর্যায় রাখা হয়েছে নড়াইল এক্সপ্রেসকে।

আবাহনীর হয়ে ঢাকা প্রিমিয়ার ক্রিকেট খেলার সময় ডান হাঁটুতে চোট পান মাশরাফি। এরপর লম্বা সময় ধরে পরিচর্যা করে বিশ্বকাপ খেলার জন্য নিজেকে প্রস্তুত করেন নড়াইল এক্সপ্রেস। যদিও শেষপর্যন্ত বিশ্বকাপ খেলা হয়নি। তবে মেলবোর্নে চিকিৎসা নিতে যাওয়ার আগে দেশের মাঠে অস্ট্রেলিয়ার বিপক্ষে একদিনের ক্রিকেট সিরিজে দুটি ম্যাচ খেলেছেন তিনি।
