Who do you think should come to bat at number 9 ?

Sohel · #2 November 24, 2012, 10:04 PM

Abul Hasan Raju

I think Gazi has the ability to be a quite handy with the bat. His defense and technique is even more copact than Abul who occaisionally does look like a #10. Gazi looks like a middle order batsman. I think both men can average 20+ with the bat by the end of their careers.

I still think Sohag is a better batsmen compared to Raju

Doesn't really matter...who will become the Don of the day is just a matter of lottery...

Does it matter who should bat at 9? We shouldn't have to rely on a lower order batsman to save our skin. Whatever a no.9 batsman scores from 0 to 100, we should take it without complaining.

^^^ Bhai eto serious keno. We know we will loose but lets have little bit of fun. After all thats all we can do as a fan.

"Being compact" is considered good because we get to assume that means good enough technique to hold on to your wicket and survive playing defensively. That's not always the case as proven over the years by Rajin and Rocky, and the way their international careers came to an inevitable, thrashing end. Those two -- because of their inability to sight the ball, find gaps and rotate the trike -- would always get bogged down before getting out cheaply.

Gazi looks defensively more sound but Raju's defense isn't bad either. Gazi hasn't lasted long enough in the middle and scored significant runs for us to assume that he'll do better that Raju, someone who has done both WELL. I think Raju has genuine batting talent that needs to be developed into consistent runs. I think Gazi also has potential, but we have yet to see just how much.

MyRoom · #14 November 25, 2012, 10:43 AM

I voted for Abul! he can have a bit more time and score extra runs unlike Shahadat who by the way am glad is finally gone yeeesss!!!!!

Both Raju and Rubel looked better than some of our top order batsmen :P

I'd go with Raju though. While it seems he takes a bit of time to settle in with the constant swing and misses ( which is a concern, but nothing unusual for a tailender), once he's settled in, he does look like a batsmen :P
