The Tamim Iqbal Khan Thread

[sharup]

Why would Tamim lie? Does he gain anything from it? I believe some of the meanings of their conversation got lost in translation and Tamim probably interpreted it differently. A puppy in bangla is "kuttar baccha".

Nevertheless, the underlying fact is they did have issues with each other. Tamim is known for his arrogance. He may make it sound like it was all Dj's fault he isn't exactly an angel either.

Tamim signs up for Wellington
Mohammad Isam

Tamim Iqbal will play for Wellington Firebirds in this season's HRV Cup. Tamim will join the New Zealand domestic side after Bangladesh's series against West Indies, and is expected to play seven games in the Twenty20 competition.

Jamie Siddons, the Wellington coach who was in charge of the Bangladesh team between 2007 and 2011, was the key element in the deal as he broached the idea to Tamim a few months ago.
"We are excited to have signed Tamim to play in our T20 competition," Siddons told ESPNcricinfo. "He will be a great addition for the Firebirds. I chose him over the many other overseas candidates because I think he possesses the explosiveness that we need at the top of our batting order. Tamim is yet to take off as a T20 player but I have seen him enough to know that it is going to be very good when he gets it all together in this format. I want my team to benefit from this in our competition this year."

Siddons, however, would have liked to keep the batsman a little while longer, but the start of the Bangladesh Premier League would shorten Tamim's stay by a few matches. "He will only be available for a possible seven games and the final but the BPL will possibly reduce that to six and no final as the dates suggest he would have to leave early which is disappointing."

Siddons said he would have liked if Shakib Al Hasan also joined Tamim at the Wellington side. "We were interested in Shakib but he declined due to injury at the time," Siddons said.

It would be really awesome if Shakib joined too. Jamie indeed loves these boys.

Stop it. He is not doing them a favor. They are doing him a favor. If he signed Ryad for this T20 thingi, then I'd say he is doing it for the love of BD boys.

Would be nice to see Tamim work with Siddons again. Tamim did credit most of his batting technique improvement to Siddons. Spending time with old guru will help him get ready for BPL. I hope he gets to play all the matches this time around.

I meant only two of them.

Why should he do anyone any favours except to his team Wellington??....he picked tamim who is still yet to be totally convincing in t20s, that is saying alot in itself.

[Gowza]

awesome! i know it's because of siddons but he's getting exposure in different conditions and getting known outside of BD. tamim is a quality player, they are lucky to have him and he's surely one of the best on the team by international performance. NZ is a great place to get exposure, would have been good if more BD players could have gone over there.

Enough of Siddons love of Tamim and co. Now lets talk business.

How do we follow Wellington Firebirds? Apart from CI and Blackcaps's official site.

Will there be any streaming available?

What happened to Kiwibd fan bhai? I think he lives in NZ. He might be able to give us some information.

[22Yards]

No ones favoring anyone. I think that is how it works in the real world. You make connections and then opportunity is bound to knock on your door given you are an achiever which Tamim is. Yes his T20 form does not speak a lot but he is sure capable of destructive innings. I give it to Siddons for realizing this and giving him this opportunity. Hope it works for both of them.

[TimAus]

Big congrats to Tamim breaking his highest First Class score with 192 for Chittagong. Hopefully this is a sign of big things to come. Monimul Haque also made 120.

[zinatf]

Welcome back Tim!

Congrats Tamim

১৭৬ রান নিয়ে দিন শুরু করেছিলেন, আউট হয়ে গেলেন ডাবল সেঞ্চুরি থেকে ৮ রান দূরে। তার পরও তৃপ্ত তিনি। সেই তৃপ্তির কারণ, অধিনায়কত্বের রোমাঞ্চ, নিজের ক্যারিয়ার, সামনের ওয়েস্ট ইন্ডিজ সিরিজ আর নিউজিল্যান্ডের ঘরোয়া ক্রিকেটে খেলা—সবকিছু নিয়েই কথা বললেন তামিম ইকবাল

 ১৯২ রানের তৃপ্তি, না ৮ রানের আক্ষেপ—কোনটা বড়?
তামিম ইকবাল: তৃপ্তিটাই বড়, তবে রানসংখ্যার নয়, সময়ের। অনেকেই এখন হয়তো বিশ্বাস করতে চাইবে না, কিন্তু সত্যি বলতে, জাতীয় লিগে এবার আমার মূল লক্ষ্য ছিল অন্তত একটা ইনিংসে সারা দিন ব্যাটিং করা। ডাবল সেঞ্চুরির আফসোস নেই বললে মিথ্যা বলা হবে। কখনো কোনো পর্যায়ের ক্রিকেটেই ডাবল সেঞ্চুরি করতে পারিনি। তবে সারা দিন ব্যাট করতে পারার লক্ষ্য পূরণ হওয়াতেই আমি খুশি।
 ১৭৬ রানে দিন শুরু করেছিলেন কাল, ভাবনাটা কী ছিল?
তামিম: খুব ফুরফুরে ছিলাম আমি, কালকেও যেমন, আজকেও তা-ই। নির্দিষ্ট কোনো লক্ষ্য ছিল না, চেয়েছিলাম নিজের মতো করেই ব্যাটিং করে যেতে। সত্যি বলতে কালকের চেয়েও ভালো খেলছিলাম। আউট হওয়ার আগের বলেই পুল করে একটা চার মারলাম। পুল করতে গিয়েই আউট হলাম। বলটি একটু নিচু হয়ে গিয়েছিল, ক্যাচ উঠে গেল মিড অনে।

congrats but eshob taskin faskin der nakani chubani khawa to mamuli bepar, noy ki dadas?

[22Yards]

This has been Tamims biggest problem over the years and this is where he lacks behind Shakib if I may compare. He has gotten many starts, some even when it mattered most but never really finished things off. Nonetheless a good innings but again leaves us something more to desire for.

are you sayin tamim leaves us beggin for more??? ^^^

yeah. I wanted a double ton from him. See you don't get to 192 everyday. So when you do get close to it you make sure to make full use of that opportunity.

I think 192 is a great score. If he'd gone out for 105 or something I'd agree with you but you can't criticise his work here. Unless you're Bradman or Lara then double tons are extremely rare.

[Gowza]

double tons are rare, and for sure it's a great score, but it will always be disappointing when someone gets that close and yeah you've got to make the most of your opportunities but you still have to be happy with a 192.

[Navo]

Is it better to get out soon after your double-century rather than continuing on ala Marshall Ayub or fall on the cusp of a double century ala Tamim?

[Zeeshan]

back to back, take that.....

wunderkind!!!

of course it's better to get the double, but a 192 is an awesome score despite missing out on the double.
