These people worked hard to be there and stepped up after our key players left for the ICL. I am glad they are back, but they WILL have to earn their spot back in the team you know. A concept that is significantly missing from Bangladesh cricket. So I support that. But Kapali is..well he is Kapali.Purnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406042181818223918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294436113842444659.post-59465523716905145872010-01-09T06:44:14.190-05:002010-01-09T06:44:14.190-05:00Actually, the reason why Kapali isn't being pi...Actually, the reason why Kapali isn't being picked is because he was part of the ICL...for some stupid reason, Siddons wants to show that he can manage without the ICL players...if he had more sense, Shariar Nafees would've been opening instead of Kayes (who has just started to take his opportunities)Cricket Tragichttp://offcutter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294436113842444659.post-77333344353698961662010-01-09T02:01:41.004-05:002010-01-09T02:01:41.004-05:00We don't have four quickies dude, that is the ...We don't have four quickies dude, that is the problem. Our best ones have either been dropped or are injured. If we had Mortaza, Talha Jubair, Rubel Hossain and Nazmul Hossain all at the top of their form and in the same squad, then we would have at least a decent bowling attack.<br /><br />But I do agree about dropping the batsmen too early. That's where Siddons has been able to more or less stabalize the line up. Although I do wish he had given Alok Kapali a chance.Purnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406042181818223918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294436113842444659.post-32547059385896633092010-01-08T21:57:24.095-05:002010-01-08T21:57:24.095-05:00I've been following Bangladesh since they got ...I've been following Bangladesh since they got Test Status (I've a special place in my heart for them due to having studied with a number of Bangladeshis in school) and the batting problem seems to be largely because all the batsmen always seem to be super-young...<br /><br />I mean, as soon as they get a bit old, they seem to be chucked out for some reason or the other, thereby depriving them of the chance to gain valuable experience...<br /><br />As for the bowling, I just get the feeling that they're being very inflexible, sticking to the spinners despite the fact that it's such a bad idea at the SBNS. They should go for 4 specialist quickies rather..Thiru Cumaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725967506183431987noreply@blogger.com
