what do you think guyz? Should Nazmul play against WI? he seems to be a favorite of Ian Pont as well...

Quoting our dear offstump bhai from Fast Bowler Expectations thread. Some food for thought:

his problem to me was he was too consistent with line and length and very little variation of pace at that stage of his career. so once batsman got used to his length and pace used to come down the wicket and play his deliveries on the ball. nazmul could not cope with that and with no plan B used to struggle.

later i saw him lose his ability to swing the ball that much though he now has developed the skills of varying pace. also some injuries have harmed his development.

i know the BD fans now expect shafiul and rubel to do good because the have more pace and talent than any other BD bowler ever but i feel nazmul can also be a very good bowler with some proper guidance and chance.

i HOPE u can contribute to aid his developmet

i dont think our team management will break the winning combination.

I don't think we should break the combination unless we have a McGrath in our bench. Both Rubel and Shaf have swing and pace; even if the pitch is on the slower side, at least they can reverse swing and put the W. Indian lefties in losing their middle or leg stump. We do have to remember that our SLAs may not be effective against the 4-5 lefties that WI have in their line up.

This recording was long time ago. Nonetheless, it would be wise to pick Nazmul over Rubel. Nazmul is bit slower but accurate in line and length, also economical in first 5/6 overs. It will not be bad idea to give him a chance during regulation pp.

we can try at least in one game.

Don't see any scope to bench Shafi or Rubel. Only player that's expandable to accommodate Nazmul in the team is Razzak (his left arm slow bowling is unlikely to make much impact against Windies), but that will be a huge gamble and don't see our management going that far.
