Match thread: 2nd Test: Bangladesh v West Indies at Dhaka, October 29- Nov 2, 2011

[Tiger444]

Even if Riyad isn't playing I would still drop Imrul. What's the point of going in with a batsman that will score a max of 20? Rather we should bring in Nazmul so that he gives us an extra option for bowling. And then move everyone up the batting order.

[M.H.Rubel]

I hope our selectors should go with this team:
1.Tamim
2.SN
3.Naeem
4.Rock

5.Riyad
6.Mushy
7.Shakib
8.Nasir
9.Sunny
10.Shahadat
11.Rubel
*This team really looks a strong team to me.

খেলায় ফেরা হলো না সহ-অধিনায়ক মাহমুদ উল্লাহ’র

ঢাকা: দুর্ভাগ্য পিছু ছাড়ছে না জাতীয় দলের সহ-অধিনায়ক মাহমুদ উল্লাহ রিয়াদের। ডেঙ্গু জ্বর সারিয়ে মাঠে ফিরতে না ফিরতেই ক্রিকেটের বাইরে চলে গেলেন হাতের আঙ্গুলে চোট পেয়ে।

বুধবার অনুশীলনের সময় ডান হাতের বৃদ্ধাঙ্গুলিতে বলের আঘাতে চোট পান মাহমুদ উল্লাহ। প্রথম বিষয়টিকে হালকা ভাবে নিলেও পরের দিন নেটে ব্যাট করতে গিয়ে ব্যথা অনুভব করেন। বৃহস্পতিবার এক্সেতে ধরা পরে চোট আক্রান্ত আঙ্গুলের হাড়ে চিড় ধরেছে।

চিকিৎসক দেবাশিস জানান,“প্রায় তিন সপ্তাহ মাঠের বাইরে থাকতে হতে পারে জাতীয় দলের সহ-অধিনায়ককে। চোট আক্রান্ত আঙ্গুলে গ্রিপার পেঁচিয়ে দেওয়া হয়েছে। সে ফিটনেস প্র্যাকটিস করতে পারবে। কিন্তু ব্যাটিং করতে পারবে না।”

ওয়েস্ট ইন্ডিজের বিপক্ষে হোম সিরিজ শুরুর একদিন আগে ডেঙ্গু জ্বরে পরেন মাহমুদ উল্লাহ। দুই সপ্তাহেরও বেশি সময় বিছানায় থাকার পর সুস্থ হয়ে মাঠে ফিরেছিলেন। ২৯ অক্টোবর থেকে মিরপুর শেরেবাংলা জাতীয় স্টেডিয়ামে অনুষ্ঠেয় শেষ টেস্ট খেলার প্রস্তুতিও নিচ্ছিলেন। কিন্তু বিধিবাম শেষ টেস্ট আর খেলা হলো না সহ-অধিনায়কের। সহ-অধিনায়ক হিসেবে অভিষেকের জন্য তাকে অপেক্ষা করতে হবে পাকিস্তান সিরিজ পর্যন্ত।

বিশ্বকাপ থেকেই ফর্মের উত্থানপতনের মধ্যদিয়ে যাচ্ছিলেন জাতীয় দলের এই অলরাউন্ডার। জিম্বাবুয়ে সফরেও আশানুরূপ খেলতে পারেননি। তারপরেও জাতীয় দলের সহকারী অধিনায়ক করা হয় তাকে। ওয়েস্ট ইন্ডিজের বিপক্ষে কোথায় নির্ভার হয়ে খেলবেন তা না রোগবালাই পেয়ে বসেছে তাকে।

^this can be a blessing in disguise..now we can drop edgebaba and bring hom in

[zinatf]

Yes even I want Hom in. Come on, give him a chance....this guy has been good in FC cricket!!

[Go_Bangladesh]

the countdown to the match is surely wrong, according to it, the match starts tonight eastern time but according to cricinfo, the match starts on friday night. Can anyone confirm this, I would love if it started tonight.

[nakedzero]

Look at the top of this thread. The countdown is accurate I think.

Intersting,, why would you want to drop Nafees or Raqibul, who scored runs in the last test? Nafees scored a fluent 50, Raqibul 40... what did they do to deserve a chop? Also, why would we want to overuse a 19 year kid when he maybe much needed for the ODIs against Pakistan next month?..

the logic is a bit confused.

Hom will go to A team only if he is not selected for the WI test. not he will not be in WI test because he is with the A team.

no, if he is selected for the second test then he won't go with the A team to West Indies.

[bd fan]

My XI would be:

1.Tamim Iqbal
2.Naeem Islam
3.Shahriar Nafees
4.Roqibul Hasan
5.Mushfiqur Rahim
6.Shakib Al Hasan
7.Nasir Hossain
8.Shuvagota Hom
9.Elias Sunny
10.Shahadat Hossain (give him his last chance, if he fails then leave him out of the Pak squad)
11.Rubel Hossain

This team means we will have a strong batting line up from 1-8, as there is a chance we may have a collapse during batting

[Murad]

Imrul will not be dropped. According to Shakib, current XI is okay.

Shuvagotor mone hoi kopal bhalo na.

[deshimon]

There is no change in the previous squad.

Exactly my prefered team, not necessarily my batting order though.

I would try SN at #2 and Naem at #3. I would let Hom bat #5 or #6. If things goes right Hom bat @ #5, if things get wrong Rahim can bat ahead of him.

I wouldn't select Hom, if I use him @ #8, I would rather select a bowler. To me Hom is a batsman, so we we select him, we need to find a middle order for him.

In the 2nd innings if we need to address RR to win, we can promote Sakib, Nasir and Rahim ahead of Naeem and/or Rakibul.

According to Kalerkantha Imrul will be in playing XI for Dhaka test

[shivfan]

I'm not convinced that Fidel is fit enough to last another five-day Test....

He could be replaced by Roach.

[sadhat]

I think the count down clock is incorrect. Its showing 6 hours to begin the match. However match does not start until tomorrow. Please confirm.

It does start tomorrow in BD at 9:30am which is 11:30pm tonight in US eastern time. So the clock is correct.
