He was the Under 19 captain that took Bangladesh to the Semis. He has the eyes of Sabbir, should be included in the Odi's and we shouldn't waste his talent in Test where he will get found out after one innings.

I don't watch Test but seems like he's doing well, he can be the next Hafeez but a cleaner action, let's hope so :hafeez
 
Wonderful for Bangladesh and best wishes for the young man- 2 wickets so far and plenty more to come In'shaa'Allah
 
I am really hoping he will play many years for Bangladesh and perform. Hope he can be the right handed version of Shakib :)
 
Dream debut for the young man as he takes 5fer
 
Action is very smooth and minimalist, no straightening of the arm at all on release.

Not only is he a quality spinner, he is a handy batsman with 40 average in FC cricket. Also, averaged 60 with the bat in the U-19 CWC. I have seen a lot of talents come and go, but he has more potential and ambition than anyone else.

Looked of high quality, never seen a off spin bowler beat the bat with a new ball as he did
 
He was bowling on essentially a 4th day wicket, lets see how he does on flatter wickets. But he did look to have a decent clean action.
 
Watched the highlights of his bowling today and I've got to say, he looks a complete bowler already. Can spin the ball, gets drift, killer arm ball, seems like a real talent and I hope he does well.

Does he bat?

Averaged 60 in the U-19 world cup with and Man of the tournament.

40 average in FC cricket. 23 only in List A though. But from what I have seen, he is a very matured batsman who can play under pressure and according to situation. Technically correct.
 
He did very well but honestly speaking, he looked to me like a typical desi domestic bowler.

Feels like he simply floats the ball. I highly doubt whether he would do well in normal Asian tracks.

You watch Shakib and you can see there is more life in his bowling. This guy doesn't give me that feeling but he does seem to have good domestic records.

Damn, so he definitely can bat, List A average is likely to improve as time goes.
 
Great performance but why is he a talisman? Isn't a talisman an ornament worn around the neck like a necklace or something? o.O

Average of 40@60 SR is incredible domestic stats for a bowler who can bat a bit.

Actually he isn't known as a bowler who can bat a bit, He is mainly a Batting all-rounder and former U-19 Captain. A proper batsman who can bowl a bit. That's also the reason he played some awesome captain's knock in the U-19 WC batting his team out from some tricky situations.

Ashwin is a bowler who can bat a bit(bowling allrounder), Miraz is actually a genuine allrounder. His batting is well polished and bats with maturity.

However, recently he mentioned that his bowling is more potent than his batting and he is focusing more on his bowling. Shakib too is a better bowler than batsman despite being a genuine allrounder(He is a world class bowler, decent batsman at best). Miraz probably will be batting at 7/8 so I hope he can be our version of Ashwin in tests, and also quality in other formats as well.
 
Congratulations to Mehedi ... a young talent, has a lot of time to hone his skills but looks very promising indeed and a very good find for Bangladesh

Not that either. He matured as a genuine allrounder in the last 1.5 years. He is pretty good in both departments. That is why I hype him so much. A genuine allrounder is like goldust. And if he comes good, we will have two quality allrounders.

But I hope he lives upto his potential. I am sure he will unlike our other allrounders who go missing after a year or two

Yeah I agree, he's far better than a utility cricketer like Nasir, Sir Shubhagoto, Khaled Mahmud, Mushfiqur Rahman etc etc. I rate him as a future Genuine Allrounder like Shakib.

'anything whose presence exercises a remarkable or powerful influence on human feelings or actions.' -_-
 
Shakib doesn't look anything special with the bat; he doesn't have the technique, and struggles away from the subcontinent especially in seaming conditions. His bowling is his strength, but it has deteriorated in the last few years strangely. Mehedi Hasan Miraz is clearly another Shakib in the making, but this time a right-arm-spinners. He should be part of the ODI team – he looks like a genuine all-rounder. Him along with Fizz completely changes the dynamic of the Bangladesh ODI team wherever they go throughout the world now.
 
He gives the ball good number of revs ?

How is his Seam position ?

Does he get the drift ?

At what trajectory he bowls ?

What is his average speed ?
 
Ashwin will eat India alive going by this

Exciting talent coming out of Bangla. He and The Fizz could make for quite a spearhead in years to come.
 
6-fer on debut innings.

If he comes good overall, then Bangladesh will have 2 quality genuine allrounders, that is 2 more than all other countries combined :shakib

Tomorrow is another big day for him. He needs to come good with the bat and help us get a strong lead. Also bowl with the new ball later in the day.
 
I've noticed his action is almost identical to Hafeez and I've noticed he's wearing a long sleeve top. Hope they've put him through all the tests and he is clean
 
Sohag Gazi the off spinner also made a dream debut in test and ODI. He could bat as well.We had a dream about him. After being suspended for suspected bowling action he has become an average bowler.

I hope Miraz don't walk his way. He looks a more mature bowler than his age.But i am not so excited about him right now. This pitch is spinner friendly and no pitch can be more wanted for than this one by an offie for debut.I want to see him play on batting friendly condition. I hope he becomes a long term prospect for Bangladesh.
 
Difference between him and Gazi is that Miraz looks like a complete bowler with maturity.

He looks determined to make it big. I would love to see him prosper. He could be our next Shakib, only shorter but more enthusiastic.

He has the stamp of approval from the best in the business.

There are no Shakib, Taskin, Mustafizur in the list but has hacks like Mahamudul, Abul. That's not a good sign for him to be in the list :O

Jokes apart, that's a great feat to be the highest wicket taker in the under 19s but I don't think it's the indication of his best potential.

He's a great bowler becoz he's talented..not for this bulls*** table filled with no bodys (mostly).

Its a good thing to have a talented player under your wings, but you also need to know how to use such a talent. The other day they decided to open the bowling from him which was ridiculous. This talent would be just wasted

This is the age when intelligence/experience takes a back seat while raw talent does the work.
 
Saw few glimpse of his bowling, was he bowling a doosra or was it an arm ball ?

Thats why you need to watch the match properly instead of simply commenting.

The new red ball was getting far more bounce and turn than the old ball and England opened with Alistair Cook and Ben Duckett, 2 lefties.
 
Another 6fer for the kid, he's making Shakib look like Mosharef. The kid is the next captain material, after Mashrafee retires we should make him Kaptaan :misbah
 
Seems very impressive,I cricinfo'ed his name today morning after reading abt his latest 6fer :P
 
Two 6-fers in two matches. Hope he can make an impact in the second innings as well.
 
We would certainly want him to score runs in this innings. Good bowler but batting needs to improve

I think he could be our next world class bowling all-rounder.

What performance. Need to improve his batting which too is generally good
 
Fizz-esque start to his career.

Imagine Fizz, Taskin, Miraz and Shakib together. What a bowling attack. Hopefully we get that in New Zealand.

For NZ conditions we need another pacer, maybe Shahid? I just hope no Shafiul
 
if he gets pitches like this throughout his career he will rack up 5fers just like Ashwin has on Indian tracks.
 
I think we can make space for Nazmul Shanto, the kid was the mike hussey of our under 19 team. Also we need to groom our firestarter all rounder, the kid bowls at 145 kph and can slog. Forgot his name :inti

Who,?

Saifuddin? Barely bowls 130 and can bat a bit. Csn bowl Yorkers at will
 
Looks a fantastic prospect Mehedi.

Very impressed with his variety and he changes his pace beautifully.

Looks to have a very bright future.
 
The lad has all the basics to make a solid spinner but unfortunately his career can only go one way from now. I hope the BD fans are patient in the future because he will face some tough times.
 
What a year this kid is having. Captained Bangladesh U19s to their best ever world cup result. Became Man of the Tournament in the world cup. Made his international debut. Became Player of the Series in Bangladesh's best Test series yet. Living a dream at the moment.
 
Mehdi to England:

"Mujhe tum nazar se
Gira tho rah ho
Mujhe tum kabhi bi
Bhula Na sakho ge"
 
He's decent but that's about it.

Pakistan have such spinners playing in the back allies. :javed
 
Kid needs to develop a stock ball, which he'll be able to land on "sweet" spot at will. He was excellent in 1st Test, when he was bowling at an economy of 2, but then Pom batsmen started to move a bit against him & he bowled few short balls almost every spell, sometimes over. Success of off/finger spinner depends on their accuracy - a leggi can buy wickets, but finger spinners, particularly offies can't. His batting is good, just need a bit confidence - I think, he needs to bat at 6 or even at 5 for his FC team.
 
Brilliant prospect , I think from now on Bangladesh can beat all the non asian teams in BD and will give tough time to india , pakistan and sri lanka.
