Bring Back Habibul Basher

[nobody]

I am not a fan of ICLers but an unshamed fan of Rafiq and HB. HB popularly known as Mr 50 start to score 50. I think he is only one beside Asif who have more than one fifty in current NCL. We are searching for a number 3. SN is not suited for that. He is a good player of spin no doubt. So ideally should bat before 4. But below 3 are occupied by Rock (I still have hope), Ash (selectors still have hope), Shaq, Mushy, Riyad and bowlers. Beside he proven back stabber. HB has the record to support him for batting at 3. So bring back HB and in the mean time let rock/ Big Z mature.

Thanks for the laughs. Habibul Bashar has a greater chance to get an IPL contract than to actually play in a test match. Keep dreaming dude.

Knee jerk thread. He can not do anything better than what we have. Good that the selectors have a level head on not picking players way past their prime.

HB as a guest speaker on local schools and colleges, I am all for it.

this year HaBa has not even scored a 100 against Alamgir-Kabir-Bowling yet and we have started bringing him back talking. to me the current group is not good enough yet but far far better than what we had before!

[Antora]

I am going to pretend I did not see this thread! Seriously, you've got to be kidding me... bring back Bash?
Oh dear!

[Eshen]

Well, at least, he can't be teased as a schoolboy

[beshideshi]

Dhuro, not Bashar, please ask Akram Khan to retire as a selector and come back to the team. No one other than him can save us from this situation

they will call him uncle ji ! him, laxman, dravid and sachin can start a seniors' 1 wkt tournament !

[Shaan]

I would say bring back Rajin Saleh for the test in place of Ash, but uncle Bashar no thanks..it's time to move forward not backward !!

[shajib14]

Considering his past records, ability to play at no 3 position in tests and current domestic performance; he is not a bad choice at all for a temporary period until we find somebody who is reliable in that position.

[Naimul_Hd]

Haba will get a shiver of surprise seeing this thread !!!

[wiseshah]

lol.haba is not the same haba any more. he is struggling for every single run. in form haba is always great but not this one

[Miraz]

We have moved on from HB, Pilot era. There is no point going back, we have more enthusiastic and deserving player in Naeem.

Let's groom future players who can give service to Bangladesh for a longer period of time.

Obviously bringing back Bashar is not even in option. But Bashar at his prime was better than the whole current lot combined. He is still by far the most consistent test batsman we have had. That guy used to score consistently in the entire series not just one innings!

[Roni_uk]

I can't believe someone actually opened a thread about bringing back HaBa! Come on .. we want to move forward and not backward.

As long as we're not getting such a consistent run-scoring machine (compared to the rest of the BD batsman) to be termed as Mr. Fifty, everybody will remember Habibul Bashar.

In fact, because we have all seen what players like him could do in the past, we're criticizing our current crop of players for not having the patience or the standard to cope with this type of Indian attack.

[Shehwar]

Absolutely with you on that sis! I specially remember the away series against Pakistan and West Indies around 03-04. Really fond memories!

bringing back rafique would be better option than bringing back habibul bashar

[bujhee kom]

Bring back Bashar, for what? For acting as a police guy to crowd control at the stadium?

[Tendulkar_Mcgrath]

R u kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ashraf-FTP]

Yah bro.. Nice dream.. Keep dreaming, thats all that BD fans can do anyways

[shiplu]

He should come back as Test Captain Only, his test batting stats are acceptable

[cricket_pagol]

Bring Habibul bashar to the commentary box and remove Shamim Ashraf....

[aniksh1]

HB was the best player from our previous generation...but generally we have much better players now!! Nevertheless Salute to the man for that 30 avg...he dared to dream slightly bigger back then...lol
