LAW vs SHAKIB

LBW103 · #1 August 6, 2011, 02:42 AM

Forgetting the outcome of the Test Match and the ODI Series for now, who do you think is going to succeed in their power of wills - Law or Shakib?

From what has been said Shakib is being allowed to run the show with Tamim and cricketing decisions are being left to Shakib. I heard the commentators say that the field placing of BD was very odd and that Shakib just put fielders where the ball had gone. They were not very complimentary about him not bowling Riyad until very late on in the innings and that some of his bowling change decisions were poor. All of this contributed to Zimbabwe settling in and building a large total under no pressure.

Law had a reputation as a tough guy as a player, like Siddons. Siddons though made many of the initial team decisions and this time round Law has had he wants the team to do that. So what is going to happen if BD doesn't do well? Who will Shakib blame? There is a full compliment of coaching staff to turn to I believe. At what point would Law impose his will on the squad or is he just going to leave everyone alone?

There has already been a big disagreement according to the media over the final team selection where Law and Shakib are meant to have had a row. In a struggle for dressing room power, would Shakib get his way or would Law lay down the Law?

when stuart law came he told that for the Zim Series the final xi will be decided by selectors and captains and team management. as he is still new and most of the players are unknown he doesnt want to interfere in XI selection until he gets to know all the players thoroughly

so whatever is said in media is nothing but trying to create controversy i believe

Ha! Ha!! It depends on the final outcome of the match. If we win, Ice Man is a hero. If not, he has to swallow the blame.

Law is in no way to be blamed here IMO.

I don't see any issue here. Law will decide policy by discussion with the members in the team management. Shakib will implement it..

Dude, dont try to create things that aint there.

The team always take the captain's persona. Putuputu captain makes the team putuputu. Non-performing captain creates a non-performing team in the long run.

Clearly you have something against Shakib. I wish he didn't blame anyone and be tactful but since he thinks differently than any normal john doe, to answer your questions, he would blame those who are not performing. Be it players or BCB.

Dressing room always belongs to the coach. The field is captain's. I see no conflict.

LBW there's a lot to discuss now as a test is going on now. I don't see any need for bringing issues about the coach or the captain out of the blue. If you feel they are important then keep them inside you. I don't see any reason to raise the same type of topics over and over again.

I am asking for forgiveness if I hurt you with this post. But similar kind of posting from you gets annoying to me.

Rabz · #11 August 6, 2011, 06:53 AM

Next what ??

Law V Swift ??
Shakib V Harare Groundsman ?

Actually on reflection you are quite right. There is no conflict and there will never be any as the back room staff and changing room are always in agreement. I should not have posted that Law vs Shakib would even exist or that there is a difference of thoughts at any stage.

It is clear, thinking about what someone else also said, that the poor batting show with batsmen playing airy-fairy shots outside off stump and getting caught and being almost 100 short of the Zimbabwe total, will have the blame laid at the correct door. It is only one innings and we shouldn't panic that Zimbabwe's bowling attack is making it's debut and has only had 13 first class matches in total between the two opening bowlers.

I was perhaps trying to be perceptive about where this might be going. I wish I hadn't raised the subject as it"s obvious that it doesn't exist.

LBW103,

Please don't get discouraged by some post in the thread here.

Please continue to express your opinion/speculation here. Those are more interesting to read than for example 103th new thread on Ashraful for example ( "Please get behind Ash's rear")

Shafir · #18 August 6, 2011, 08:20 PM

I'm gonna go start a Shafiul vs Rubel thread, because you know, we don't know that it DOESN'T exist...

Absolutely pointless thread, as some of you have pointed out.

LBW just trying to stir the pot with controversial stuff as he always does.

pagol-chagol · #21 August 7, 2011, 12:01 AM

Even Kaler Kantha would reject this baseless speculation. BC loses reputation points to newbies.

Rabz · #22 August 7, 2011, 12:11 AM

^^ How about we open a thread called "BC Tabloid" ?

Zee, where art thou ??
