That's why they need a stone waller like Saleh at #3. If he hands out there for few hours it will be beneficial even if he does not score many.If Shakib,Rahim, Mahmadullah are the best middle order bats in BD (certainly seems that way) then shouldnt they play 3-4-5 or 4-5-6.
As long as the WK is not opening after crouching for a long time - does it matter that these folks also have major bowling & Wk duties?
This guy seems like the best regular #8 in tests atm, yet he's playing in a side with (almost) the worst #2, #3, #4, #6 (think Shakib comes at #5, Rahim at #7).
Yeah, AWTA strongly.I would prefer
Iqbal
Nafees
Saleh
Mushfiqur
Mahmadullah
Raqibul
Shakib
order.
Yep they do need someone at 3 who can stick around for a long time. I think Siddique can play that role.That's why they need a stone waller like Saleh at #3. If he hands out there for few hours it will be beneficial even if he does not score many.
Just about the best that there is at the moment.LOL Rajin Saleh at 3?? Thats a joke..
I think Rahim should be used more as a batsman for Bangladesh now...the way SL treat Sangakkara..and if it is too much pressure on Rahim, they can always play Dhiman Ghosh as the specialist wk and drop those useless Ashraful, Aftab.
I think the playing XI should be
Tamim Iqbal
Shahriar Nafees/Imrul Kayes/Nafis Iqbal
Mushfiqur Rahim ( I have tremendous faith in him..he has a 50 against India at WC07 batting at 3)
Shakib al Hasan
Mahmudullah
Alok Kapali/Raquibul Hasan/Naeem Islam
Dhiman Ghosh (wk)
Masrafe Mortaza
Enamul Haque
Rubel Hossain
Shahadat Hossain
I tend to agree with you. If Rahim needs to be played at #3, he as to give up the gloves. But the order has to be changed a bit IMO.LOL Rajin Saleh at 3?? Thats a joke..
