Ian Butler is such a overrated death bowler, does he actually ever get the job done at the international level?

1. Drop Ashraful for atleast a year. Siddons recently said that he knew Ashraful did not perform and did not deserve a place but he would not be dropped as there is no one better to replace him. While that might be true, there was no need to say that in public because that will just diminish Ashraful's "barely there" hunger for runs and hard work. He considers himself indispensible now and does not feel the need to put in the hard work to save his place. He needs to be dropped immediately, and not picked unless he performs consistently well in the domestic league for a year.

Agreed on dropping him. Even if his replacement averages 25 in both forms, it's worth it. He's averaging 16 in Tests and 26 in ODIs over the past 2 years. Surely there's someone in Bangladesh with potential to do better.

That could be the first time that has happened in the history of ODI cricket.

Trust it to happen to NZ. Worst death-over bowling team in the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if its the first time of such an occurance - would be a good question to submit to the Ask Steven or the Numbers Game cricinfo columns!

a great effort from Bangladesh to reach 180..
Fantastic batting from Mushfiqur. He is one of the few reasons I feel hopeful about Bangladesh cricket. I really think Bangladesh should start using him as a specialist batsman ala Andy Flower, Sangakkara etc. If it is too much pressure on him, then drop one of the useless batsmen and pick another keeper and let Mushfiqur focus on batting.

jeez Richardson and Doull (mostly Richardson) annoy me.

They're wanking on about Rubel being "impressive" based solely on the fact that he can bowl 140-143kph.

Not wanting to hate on Rubel, but that sort of pace is neither here nor there at international level. I daresay Rubel's record will show you that.

Richardson does this every single time he sees a bowler over 140kph and it's simply based on the fact that he was scared of such bowlers during his playing days (and freely admits as much). It doesn't make for good analysis.

(btw I realise Rubel has also bowled 3 overs for 10 atm which is "impressive", but the fact he bowls 140kph is not)

Richardson on bowlers in general annoys me.

Doull is usually good though.

Pinga really proving he's a four day player. Not good at scoring when cramped, prefers to leave or block it, always has. Still, at least Ingram hasnt done anything dumb and thrown it away.
