I believe dada (Ganguly) played a great role to include Tamim in his team

CricketWiz · #7 March 25, 2012, 05:33 AM

J. Hopes was hopeless last season ... hope Tamim have the answer.

Good news. The Pune Warriors team is not that strong so Tamim has a good chance to make an impact. I was hoping, given his recent T20 form and the innings he played against India, someone would pick up Mushfiq as well.

Yao mushi looks the real t20 deal ... He has developed a baseball style heating technique with constant shuffling

Shakib probably will play for KKR.... I'm not sure though. But I can see him in KKR team list. I think Shakib had a contracts for two seasons.

He is deffo playing for kkr

Congrats Tamim.

Let's look at the chance of him playing in the XI:

Other overseas in PW:
Callum Ferguson (AUS)-Middle order batsman so 50/50 to pick him or Tamim

Nathan McCullum: Lower order bat and handy with the ball...i guess no competition with Tamim

Angelo Mathews: Injured, even he his fit, he got to play for his country vs England

Wayne Parnell: Definitely playing

Jesse Ryder: Main Rival of Tamim. But i want Tamim and JR opening combo and SG at no 3.

Marlon Samuels: Will be busy first few weeks playing Australia

Graeme Smith: Another Rival for Tamim

Steven Smith:

Luke Wright: A handy opener and a handy bowler so wont be surprise if he gets picked ahead of Tamim.

SO overall, In first few wk's of IPL 5, Tamim have very gd chance of getting in the playing 11. If he does, he have to PERFORM, otherwise i can see him warming up for a long time.

Mushy's gotta prove to be more consistent though. I think he needs another good year or 2 before he gets a chance. Tamim getting an IPL contract has been long overdue. He should've gotten a chance in last year's edition. I think that with another good year, Nasir could get a chance in the next year's IPL.

Can't see them being in the same situation as Tamim really. Ash was really lucky in the end to get an IPL contract. Knew that he wouldn't be a success in the IPL. Mash has always been an awful death over bowler which really ruined his career in the IPL. And tough for Razzak because they already had good spinners in the side. So Tamim's different from these 3 in my opinion.

playmaker · #16 March 25, 2012, 08:57 AM

Mash bowled well in the death overs in the last 3 matches and his E.R overall was less than 5. Though I dont want him to be playing in the IPL after what KKR did to him

And as for lalla, he is still a quality spinner, works very well in slow and low pitches

if they both play we'll have another Notts vs Worc kind of match but this time with better TV coverage

Shakib and tamim will be the only BD duo to play against each other in 2 Non Bangladesh teams in 2 countries

reality is most people dont look for players from minnow teams even though they are better then a fair amount of players in the ipl.

Dear NumberOne Mushy Fan in BanglaCricket,

HE will get his chance inshaAllah...just wait until after the ICC World T20 competition where the world should take notice of the little dynamo(an ideal platform for someone like Mushfiqur Rahim to make statements with the bat of course...)

Patience is the key. We have to slowly wait for the IPL to realise the talents of Mushy and Nasir. It will happen but we just have to be patient.

"tamim to play for pune" is slightly misleading
But at least he's in the side

Rabz · #25 April 9, 2012, 12:45 AM

^^ Tamim to benchwarm for Pune Warriors
