Should Mushfiqur be stripped of his captaincy?

[shuziburo]

Since I have been critical of Mushfiqur Rahim's decision to use his pacers during death overs, it is only fair that I describe what I might have done.

1. Bowled Rubel in two spurts (the second time around the 20th over).
2. Bowled Mash in three spells (the third time before the 35th over).
3. Bowled Gazi in three spells (4 + 3 + 3), the third spell during death overs.
4. Changed bowling a bit more so that the batsmen could not get comfortable. But, if a bowler was giving fits to one batsman, I might make an exception.
5. Not play Mash at slip.
6. Talk to Mash about bowling change, etc. No point wasting a valuable resource.

If want the same captain for all teams (I am not a proponent of this, though), Razzak is not an automatic selection for tests.

But does have to be a performing one who warrants a confirmed place and I don't think Razzak is.
I believe Mash can be a good captain for the one dayers since he's a fighter but who knows how long he will remain fit.
Tbh, even with brain farts Mushy may be the best choice given his position is pretty solid in the team with 80% good decision making ability. Problem is, in his case, the 20% turns out to big blunders at times.

eishob ajeira kotha boila love nai.
no matter who the captain is, for a team like BD which doesn't win regularly, we fans will always end up criticizing .
I still remember very well how even Sakib was criticized when he was a captain.
So far what I like about Mushy is we perform more as a team, the team spirit seems pretty high.

All decisions a captain makes can’t be right or bring positive result always. Take last 3 ODIs for example , If you blame the loss of this game on him than give him credit for the other wins.
That being said, I want him to focus on batting and captaincy and let someone else keep the wicket.

A number of things went wrong...that shala 3rd umpire gave Samuels not out when we could still have won the game. If that was a BD player that is faaking OUT. Remember Shakib's stumping in AC v India?

And there are BC morons who don't think the ICC conspires against Bangladesh.

[Zeeshan]

A resounding 'NO'. He may not be the sharpest one in the batch but it will lead to further turmoil if we were to strip captains as frequent as indian stars changing dresses in a single song.

Seniors like Mortaza and Shakib could give Mushy some advice, since I mean they were captains in the past and smarter ones than Mushy. I wonder if they just stand there quietly seeing Mushy making stupid decisions or if Mushy just don't heed their advice in general.

Hard to say which. But, I have not seen Mushy approach the senior players in the field. Thus, more likely that they don't offer unsolicited advice.

অবশ্যি পাব। তবে ব্রিলিয়ান্ট অধিনায়কত্ব দেখা থেকে নয়।

Right now one more No than Yes. It's going to be a photo-finish!

No other option. Should not be changed. Once Shakib returns, he should be made VC (But should never be sent to the post match media conference unless he is the MOM) so that Mushy can discuss before taking crucial decisions.

And no, dont fire him.

Yes people should move on really. Move on and run away from Mushy ASAP. He lacks common sense and certainly dont deserve to be a captain of a Test and ODI team. You want a replacement? Yes, even a 5 year old baby can do better. Supporting him after all these mistakes shows how naive some people can be. Simply pathetic.

[BANFAN]

After this series... Make him VC... Shakib captain..captain looks after the on field events and VC off field... both problems solved.

Then that is just a shame, they are playing in the same team with the aim to win after all.
They need to swallow some pride or whatever excuse they have and start communicating with each other in these issues if they care about winning at all. Riyad is just VC just for the sake of someone to fill in that position.

Look at Ponting, he was there to guide and advice the younger players that took the helm such as Clarke, we should be able to.

Exactly my thought. This moron is costing us game after game.
Can someone slap the his face and kick his back? How can he sleep at night?

[M.H.Rubel]

If the pool was a public one then it would have been better.
Mushy is leading the way.......
I wish i would have another ID. I would vote for Mushy another time.

[Fazal]

Sack or not, BCB should seriously think about alternative in near future. As a captain, I don't see high ceiling for Rahim, he will be below average. I have seen no significant improvement of his captaincy over time.

He might have higher aspirations.

That is my biggest issue. I am not expecting Pataudi's brilliance from him. But, he keeps making the same mistakes. He continued the trend today.

Mushy will get his 6th win against a G8 today. Shakib got four in a span of two years.

Fixed. How soon people forget. That even with a B team in his hand and leading from the front. Something Mushi doesn't know.

Mushi's captaincy success = HB's success. Here and there contribution. At times making himself look like fool.
