Cricket 5 DT Saturday, January 28, 2017 BANGLADESH DEBUTANTS IN TOUR OF NZ Taskin Ahmed Right-arm pacer Test debut Took two wickets and scored 49 runs in two Tests New Zealand’s Tom Latham took a blow to the helmet from a bouncer from Bangladesh’s Rubel Hossain during their second Test match in Christchurch nafees iqbal’s expert opinion ‘No escape when you drop catches’ • Tribune Report Former Bangladesh opening batsman Nafees Iqbal gives his take on Bangladesh’s recent tour of New Zealand. INTERNET Taskin [Ahmed] made his debut. He is quite experienced in ODIs and T20Is. He is a great bowler but could have done better. But I was a bit disappointed with the batsmen. We lacked the intent, to be honest. Subashish Roy Right-arm pacer Test and ODI debut One wicket in one ODI Took three wickets in one Test Bangladesh's catching was belowpar, along with their ground fielding. Are you concerned with the side's recent fielding displays? Fielding is a very important part of cricket now and has no alternatives. Test cricket demands you to take 20 wickets. There is no escape when you drop catches of the home team as they are used to playing in their condition. But then again, no one drops a catch intentionally. However, I think we should have improved in order to have a better outcome. Bangladesh have improved dramatically in fielding over the past few years so it is a bit disappointing for not being able to live upto the standards. What went wrong with the batting, across all formats, despite there being a few high moments? New Zealand are a very strong side Bangladesh Injuries 1st ODI Mushfiqur Rahim – pulled his hamstring, missed the remaining ODIs and the entire T20I series. 3rd T20I Mashrafe bin Mortaza – suffered thumb injury, ruled out for at least four weeks. Tamim Iqbal – hurt his left thumb while taking a catch, x-ray came out clear and did not miss any match. Imrul Kayes - tripped over the advertisement boards and hurt left knee while at their den. My personal opinion is that we should have won the second ODI after getting a good start. But irresponsible batting cost us the game. Now we have some excellent and world-class players who have the ability to play in any team around the world. So it is a bit disappointing when things go wrong in such manner. We do not call ourselves underdogs any more; we have passed the time when we were at a learning stage. We have trying to attempt a catch, did not bat in the game but played the remaining matches. 1st Test Mushfiq – Returned in the Test series only to pick up a thumb injury, ruled out for three weeks and missed the second Test. Imrul - strained front thigh muscle, missed the second Test. Mominul – suffered a bruised rib cage, missed the second Test. advanced now and proved that in the last two years. I am not saying that we should have won every game in New Zealand but we could have won at least one ODI and drawn the first Test. How did the five debutants perform? Talking of the fast bowlers, their performance was decent. I think they could have done better, given the pace-friendly condition there. 359 Shakib al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim's effort is the fourth highest partnership for the fifth wicket in Tests. This is also the highest partnership for a visiting team in New Zealand going past the 350 runs added by Pakistan's Asif Iqbal and Mushtaq Mohammad in 1973. Number of players to have held 3 the record for the highest score and best bowling figures in an innings in Tests for their team before Shakib. He became only the fourth such player when he went past Bangladesh's previous highest of 206 - by Tamim In Numbers What are your thoughts on the team selection during the tour? It is a bit difficult to say anything. It is easy to talk when you are not part of the dressing room. The best judges are the selectors, the coach and the captain. I cannot make a comment on that because I do not know what happened in the meetings and the dressing room. Your expectations from the solitary India Test? I am very hopeful that the team will perform well in India bearing in mind the condition is similar to that of our home. India always prepare batting tracks so our batsmen should do well. We have batted well against England at home and I believe we can do the same in India. We should not be worried over what happened in New Zealand as the condition is totally different from here in the sub-continent. • Iqbal against Pakistan - in this innings. Shakib is the third player from 3 Bangladesh to score more than 3000 runs after Tamim and Habibul Bashar and the second highest run-getter for Bangladesh. Shakib joins an elite list of 14 14 cricketers to have scored more than 3000 runs and to take more than 150 wickets in Tests. Previous instances in which the 6 No 5 (Shakib) and 6 (Mushfiq) have scored a century against New Zealand. Incidentally the last three occasions have happened in Wellington. Nazmul Hossain Shanto Left-hand bat Test debut Scored 30 runs in one Test Nurul Hasan Wicketkeeper-batsman Test and ODI debut Scored 68 runs in two ODIs, took two catches and made one stumping Scored 47 runs in one Test, took two catches Tanbir Hayder All-rounder, ODI debut Scored five runs in two ODIs and went wicket-less
