Taylor was batting for himself.

Surprisingly for Rajshahi, Ervine is showing good form now. Remember he was out of the XI after pathetic performance in the first 2 matches.

It's about time! One would've thought that his medium pacers would be suitable for this kind of format in Bangladesh pitches. Good to see he's finally using his talent. He was after all initially picked to play for Zim because of his bowling at the start of his career. Unfortunately, he's turned into a de Grandhomme(i.e. average batting allrounder), and he'll lose his place at Hampshire because he can no longer contribute sufficiently with the bat.

That's one thing he should learn from our very own Elton Chigumbura, and even Afridi. Never let go of your primary strength, and if it slips, work hard on it to get it back up - you might need it. I for one certainly hope Sean works on his bowling. It may save his County career this coming season! On the whole I couldn't be bothered about him, in fact let me revise my soft stance and wish him the worst! Maybe we'll see him hooking up with Henry at Lashings prety soon, hope he still has his number!

I'm a little bit concerned about your young talent Nasir Hossain. A star in the making - cerftainly one to double up with Sakib with both bat(lower middle order)&ball in the future. But too much is expected of him with the bat too soon. They should let him bat 8 in Tests and 7 in ODIs while he continues to work on his bowling. His batting will come naturally. Right now Bangladesh can(and should) select six batsmen, plus Rahim(wk) who are better than him!

I think I would have used the same reserve had I been speaking of your beloved Matsi or Duffin as I did with Taylor, Hhm.
