And..Amir is taken off.
Wow, tamim. Still thinks this game will go till the 17th over..lol
 
Taskin just doesnt look like the baller he was, after starting of his international career. Doesnt look any threatening at all, which he did while playing for the national team. Either it is the BPL, which makes his performance look ordinary, or injuries have taking their tool on him.

Don't think its injuries, since he's still bowling at relatively high speeds. He just doesn't seem to be a smart bowler, and needs someone to guide him like his captain does in the nat team. Here he has Tamim who knows jack.
 
agree . There is a reason why wasim drools over his bowling

On a separate note, who would you pick if had the choice between Asif and Amir?
I would be tempted to pick Asif just because he was that good.
In all seriousness, Asif needs to be back too. On merit, of course.

Good point raised. Tamin is an atrocious captain in any aspect.

i would pick asif. A totally different breed of fast bowler . Pakistan has produced bowlers like Amir (fast bowlers who swing the ball late) but not like asif. He was a magician who taught amir a lot of things about bowling (apart from the spot fixing). Asif even taught jimmy anderson the wobbling delivery. He could have taught a lot to other young fast bowlers too.
 
Oh Tamim :facepalm: Dont they any pacers, or at least medium bowlers? He keeps using these part-time spinners.

Totally agreed.
Too bad the buffoons in PCB can;t comprehend this fact.

I love his Bo*b smash celebration with Mushrafe

He has just returned from Injury.

I believe he needs a few matches under the belt. Definitely a better bowler than some of the mediocre players in BPL.
 
Chittagong Vikings are very strong team on paper But they are out of tournament due to brilliant captaincy of Tamim
 
Don't worry guys, Tamim is a rubbish captain.

Michael Clarke said that his Dog could have coached the 2003 and 2007 Aus side to world championship given the players they had. But if Tamim was captaining the side, he would definitely ensure Australia would not even go to the 2nd round.

He is no different from Afridi. Chittagong has a strong team on paper: Dilshan, Amir, Tamim, Anamul, Taskin, Enamul, Mendis, Shafiul, Zia and they are languishing at the bottom.
 
the top 3 teams of the leaguue are: Barisal, Comilla and Dhaka, all 3 teams have decent captains: Riad, Mashrafe and Sanga. 3 confident no nonsense players.

And the bottom two teams have Mushfiq and Tamim as captain
 
Tamims captaincy is pure example of lakeer k fakeer

Tamim is actually the worst captain I've ever scene. Stupid not to bring Amir back in yet.
 
And some mediocre bowlers.
They couldn't defend 150+ scores...twice!

Who are these mediocre bowlers? Taskin and Enamul are decent bowlers.

It was a mixture of poor fielding and poor captaincy. No bowling unit can do much about that.

And I stand corrected.
Even Wahab is a decent enough bowler for Pakistan but can he win you matches? No.

If Tamim had Warne, Wasim and Waqar at their disposal he would still fail to defend 180
 
Trust me, if Mashrafe wasn't the captain then bowlers like Taskin, Rubel and even Mustafizur would've been flops. Good captaincy is vital in Cricket and something Cricket boards especially those in Asia must focus on. Talent wise, the Asian teams have had the best ones in the last 20 years, but when it comes to intelligence and captaincy, the Asian sides suck compared to i.e. Australia.

It is a matter of how you handle your bowlers and fielders. Wahab can't win you matches because of poor captaincy. Misbah is a brilliant captain, but Azhar and Afridi are subtandard captain.

Mashrafe for example is a brilliant captain. Look at how under his presence our pace bowlers had such brilliant performances. Rubel, Al Amin, Taskin, even himself was brilliant in the undoing of Pakistan, SA and India bowling attack on unfriendly wickets.

He would back his bowlers even after they get tonked. Tamim on the other hand is a so-called world class batsman who always bottles it under pressure. His fitness is poor, and sometimes plays like Umar Akmal. In T20 cricket, having a proper captain leading the side is half the battle won.

You are focusin on Tamim as a captain which is a different matter altogether.
Captain can't force you to bowl in certain areas. Bowlers have to take the responsibility too.
Like today, Amir bowled a brilliant first over but the spinner on the other end kept leaking runs.
A good bowling unit will always figure a way out. That's what I meant.
 
Taskin is nothing special, he just got jacked by taking roids :akhtar

Yes.
And Wahab is extremely over-rated on this forum.
I would gladly accept a bowler who leaks some runs but takes 2-3 wickets in between rather than watch an 'inspiring' spell that yields no result at all.

Bowling attack is actually good, I follow Bangladesh cricket a lot and I believe that the bowling unit is decent, definitely better than that of other teams in the competition.

Can't say the bowlers bowled poorly. They did their level best but didn't get the aid of the captain or the fielders. I watched every match these team played.

Yeah he is. Let Amir come back and see how Wahab becomes Rana Naved of this forum
