Your team for the 2nd Test

[shakibrulz]

Gather around fellas, and select your XI as usual
Mine:
Tamim (if fit, or Ash to open and Anamul to drop down at 3)
Jahurul
Ashraful
Mahmudullah
Mominul
Mushfiqur+
Nasir
Gazi
Razzak (le sigh)
Rubel
Robiul /Sunny

Harsh on Anamul, but has to miss out if Tamim's fit. Ditch both SRK and Abul, get in Rubel and Robiul, or Sunny if it's a dustbowl (which I do expect).

[Habib]

1. Tamim
2. Jahurul
3. Ashraful
4. Mominul
5. Mushfiq
6. Nasir
7. Riyad
8. Gazi
9. Razzak
10. Rubel (if fit, otherwise Abul)
11. SRK

[shakibrulz]

Should stop letting Riyad hide at 7 imo. Either bat in the top order and make runs or GTFO.

[ms01]

1) Tamim Iqbal
2) Jahurul Islam
3) Mohammad Ashraful
4) Mominul Haque
5) Mushfiqur Rahim
6) Nasir Hossain
7) Mahmudullah Raid
8) Sohag Gazi
9) Abul Hasan
10) Abdur Razzak
11) Rubel Hossain/Shahadat

[Naimul_Hd]

1. Tamim
2. Jahurul
3. Ashraful
4. Mominul
5. Mushy
6. Riyad
7. Nasir
8. Abul
9. Shohag Gazi
10.Razzaq
11.Robiul

Out: Anamul, Sunny, SRK
In: Tamim, Razzaq, Robiul

Shakib isn't back yet. So he stays.

[crikss]

Changes will be Anamul, SRK, Sunny

IN - Tamim, Razzaq, Rubel / Robiul

But 3 changes

[Bonglababu]

Tamim, Razzak and Nazmul(or Rubel) are my choice.

[zahidnyc]

Best 11 bangladesh can have

1 tamim iqbal
2 jahurul islam
3 anamul haque
4 mohammad ashraful
5 mahmudullah riyad
6 musfiqur rahim
7 nasir hossain
8 sohag gazi
9 shaddat hossain
10 abdur razzak
11 rubel hossain

[Tiger Manc]

1. Tamim
2. Jahurul
3. Ashraful
4. Mominul
5. Nasir
6. Mushfiqur
7. Mahmudullah
8. Sohag
9. Elias
10. Abul
11. Rubel

[al Furqaan]

I guess there really isn't room to keep Anamul in the XI based purely on performance. But everyone should ideally get several chances before being discarded. How many chances did Imrul get? But I guess there was no competition back then.

My ideal lineup would be for the near term future:

Tamim
Jaharul
Ashraful
Anamul
Shakib
Mushfiq
Nasir
Mominul
Gazi
Taskin
Nazmul/Shafiul

Enam Jr, Rubel, Riyad, and Marshall will warm the bench.

This side bats all the way down to 9 without compromising on bowling strength. Nasir I feel is an underused bowler, and along with Ash and Momin, provide enough part timers. It is time to unleash Taskin because we simply don't have any other pacers. I would only play him in Tests and sparingly in ODIs if at all to keep him fresh. We don't play enough Tests to worry about overusing him and injuring him. We have BPL to get him injured.

9. Elias
10. Abul
11. Rubel

Unfortunately, Nasir can bat once

[Murad]

Ashraful in everyones eleven. Lol

And not a single person wrote his name as 'Ashrafool'.

[Miraz]

Tamim and Razzak will be in for Anamul and Sunny. Rubel may get in if he is fit.

[al Furqaan]

Razzak won't provide anything over Sunny. That being said, Sunny was a zero so Razzak won't be any worse...just won't be any better. Should have tried Saqlain instead of Razzak.

Lol sobai bhodro hoye geche

[AsifTheManRahman]

I'd be inclined to leave the batting as is, even if it means Tamim has to miss out, but I don't see a way to do that. Anamul will probably get the chop.

I wouldn't mind Robiul getting a bowl ahead of either one of the pie chuckers from the first Test. You know what they say, jodi laigga jaay.

I guess Sunny will get replaced too. Indifferent to it really.

Lol oops! I put Riyad at 5 originally, but then realised I wanted Nasir at 5. Forgot to put change #7 to Riyad.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Nasir might be ok where he is, he seems to have played into the #7 role comfortably, so I'd leave him there. We need a solid #7. Riyad, on the other hand, should man the heck up or retire.

[Tiger Manc]

I would love to see this lineup batting first on a flat pitch:

1. Tamim
2. Jahurul
3. Anamul
4. Ashraful
5. Mominul
6. Naeem
7. Nasir
8. Shakib
9. Mushy
10. Mahmudullah
11. Sohag

Bat the crap out of the opposition

[Max100]

If its for 2nd test, my line up

Tamim
Anamul ( i am expecting a century)
Ash
Mominul
Mushy
Mahmudullah
Nasir
Sohag
Razzaq/ though i wud prefer mosharraf rubel
Rubel
Robiul
