Selectors thread: Akram Khan, Nannu and Habibul Bashar

[Saifulsohel]

$Thank you Akram Khan&co. for keeping faith in Tamim,Jahurul. Nazim played well in last match. Without negative Kayes,Nafees,Na eem team is looking much positive now.

[Tigers_eye]

Must solve the bowling issues now. Weldone on the selection. No AAA is good.

[oronnya]

Yes we need a fast bowling all-rounder and a very good off spinner ... Shafiul- Shahadat are very inconsistent.. I can never rely on them.. I wish Rubel wasn't injured .. then that would've been a very good team ...

[Awla]

For future series we should try this pace combination: Mashrafe- Nazmul- Rubel

[taklima_naj]

For me this a perfect team at the moment, and thanks for bringing jahirul one down, I want only nazmul in eleven instead of shahadat, thats all

Yes, so do I want this line up.

I think credit should be given to the selectors on a very solid squad. I wanted them to get rid of the non performers which they did. It has made a difference that Nafees, Naeem, and Alok have not been there. When guys are consistently playing badly, then it just hurts the teams performances. Also giving Jahurul the spot ahead of Junaid was also a wise decision. Jahurul performed much better in the DPL and thus has shown that he deserves to be batting at #3. Also this time they decided not to go with Ash despite him showing good form in the BPL.

I believe the next plan for the selectors is to figure out the opener's spot. If Nazim does badly for the rest of the tournament, then they should get rid of him for good in T20I's and ODIs and just have him be on the Test team. I think it was also very wise to have Anamul in the team so he could learn from being in the team.

So a job well done. Let's hope they continue with the good work.

^^^^ I agree. Credit to the selectors for not mixing up the performances of the BPL with the ODI team. Players such as Ashraful, Siddique, Ziaur Rahman, Arafat Sunny, Enamul Haque Jnr could have made it into the odi team for the asia cup due to their good performances in the BPL but the selectors didnt mix up the t20 format with the ODI format.

Also they did a good job by getting rid off Naeem Islam and playing 4 specialist bowlers instead of 3 like we used to before. Hopefully we have found the right balance for the team and we will see how it goes from here.

[zinatf]

kudos to the selection team so far.....we can see a lot of improvement in the team so far...let's see where it goes till the end of this year!

and to add to that I don't want to see Ashraful playing another odi/test unless he proves his form in domestic for a whole season.

[nadim 98]

I can't take it anymore. Eder brain er ki je ache shudu allah'i jane.

Shahdat: in his last 10 Test matches, picked ONLY 10 wickets; Avg:101.9...Bradman Who

Rubel(im a big fan of him, but can't take it any more, kill me!): in his last 8 test matches, he got ONLY 8 wickets; Average: 109...Even Better His career avg is 85+

Riyad: In his last 11 Test innings, his AVG is only 16.8 with HS of 38 with 2 ducks and 20+ twice(including his HS). He seems to be a valueless player who have nothing to offer. The misfield by him this morning is still my head This guy is totally out of form in every department in every format, yet he gets to the team coz of the VC tag.

My question is to Selectors: Do you f******* use your brain while selecting a team? Yes, i agree we don't have long pace pipeline, but a bit of thinking and planning make alot of difference. Rubel just came back from injury, and coach said he is fit but can't bowl long spell! Then, how is he fit? You guys are there to point that out, but you didn't and went with Rubel and SRK to begin with.

[Jadukor]

Shohag was in red hot form and made an immediate impact in the game. If we had taken enamul hq jr who is in an even better form, along side gazi, who knows may be we could have taken couple more wkts today. We will never know because yet again we are thinking negatively and stacking our lineup with batsman at the expense of a bowling unit that could get sides out.

Last time i checked Enamul Jr can bat aswell. Should have replaced Ryad who brings nothing to the table! Sahadat/Rubel, one of those 2 should be replaced by Nazmul. Hell just bring in Sunny aswell, we don't need those 2 crappy pacers in the team. Nazmul can be the sole paceman!

sadly everyone is fixated with the extra pace...that's why Nazmul is always the last option.

[NoName]

If they were going to play Rubel, should have picked Nazmul as well, its disastrous bowling with two pacers when one just came out of injury and has yet to retain his mojo, and the other one well...lets not go there.... Even Jurgensun was hoping Nazmul would have been in the squad

Riyad should have been replaced with another bowler, cause he can't bowl or bat (hope he proves me wrong batting), and it'd add to the comedy if he is part of a classical batting collapse.

Akram: On phone, let me select let me select first I am the chief selector....browsing on the laptop and can't take off his eyes on authentic curry dish it looks good..."it looks good I take it"
Bashar: it looks good but looks little oily
Akram: What !! what you know about authentic mejbani ghost...you put the extra oil in your chandi and go back to your reading books...just listen to me
Bashar: Ok sure then order one for me too...I select the same thing you select
Akram: Josh...Nannu tumar ki motamot
Nannu: I like it a lot and can select it too but I don't want to select it as i am thinking about the current health situation of ourselves. Also what if the players see it we are eating this. We just had Kurbanir mansho.
Akram: Can you answer my question straight
Nannu: Silence...(fuming in anger)
Akram: Silence is the best response...I like it...allright thanks for all your vote I am chief selectors and I select this dish...(phone ringing on the other side...pace bolwer selection decision pending selection committe. Selection committe sectrary called Akram to make the final call before the test...Akram hungry and meanwhile mad that he could not complete the order and was going back to on forth on two lines...meanwhile he mistakenly thought he is on the line with restaurant..but actually it was player selection secratary..."Listen I select the best looking one..that's my final choice.allright bye I gotta go"...the selection panel committe was not sure what he meant so they looked at the picture of SRK and selects him as our pace sprearhead

[mali007]

Its politics !! You can't drop Riyad because he is captain of Abahani , BCB chief is from Abahani .
You can't drop SN , because he is a close relative of Akram Khan !! Enamul Jr. being in top form cant be in the team because he does not have any "MAMA" in BCB . Same for Ilias Sunny and other inform Spinners .

[Cricketpremi]

This has been the state of our cricket over the last few years. We emphasize too much on such matters because we are losing day in and day out. Had we won more matches we probably didnt need to worry too much.

Our selectors should, from now onwards, give logical explanations for the selecting the players in the squad ahead of others

Its time Akram files for his resignation for utter failure in team selction. He does not not have it in him. He knows about this Test 2 years ago and he needs to wait 2 days before the actual Test to decide what would be number 2,3,4 based on a practice game? Are you kidding me, you select players based on a practice game 2 days before the one of 2 test in the entire year??

What have you done the entire year, where were you during the matches against the WI HP Team? He has the easiest job: do nothing, write down some names before a tournament and get handsomely paid from BCB. And drops the player who was the most successful against the WI HP Team: Enamul and brings in several non performers and out of forms in top 14. His mistakes are causing us games after games. We only play 2 Test per year, and we cant afford this kind of silly mistakes in team selection anymore!

You have just one job, it takes 5 minutes per month, do it right man!
What do you all year long only you know! And then serrve the nation with these blunders!
And I wonder what was BCB thinking taking Shane as the HC? Even Shujan could have done so much better.

[BrianLara7]

Do these incompetent selectors have a brain or not? How much (if they do) get paid?

[Ajfar]

I wish we would properly hite selectors rather than just hand out positions to ex cricket players. I don't think one needs to be a ex cricket player to be a selector. How about BCB makes the selector position available to everyone and let people apply for the job just like any other job. Than hold interviews and hire the most suitable candidates. Ex cricketer as selectors are getting so annoying, it's an extra perk for being a former player.

[Rabz]

Lets wait till end of the match before calling for heads.
They went with the strategy of having one extra batsman rather than one extra bowler.
We bat pretty deep, 8 recognized batsman plus Gazi who seems like someone who can hold the bat.
Lets see how our batsman perform.

Mind you, its not just the selectors who finalise the main XI. The team management including coach and captain also has a say in this.
