IMO depite me disliking Liton, we need someone who will take over the gloves (eventually). Despite Liton scoring that 94* there were alot of silly errors he got away with and by that time Windies bowlers had mentality lost. What impressed me was he got set first. If he could only work on his footwork.

Sabbir regressed in many ways. He was a useful finisher but he has not been able to deliver for years. His 100 against NZ in a losing cause is useless. I rate Soumya's 29 run knock higher than that useless century.

Finally Bangladesh got a capable replacement in the place of Mithun Chakraborty (I am a Disco Dancer).

I just hope he doesn't follow this innings with a string of low scores, otherwise we're back to square one again.

I think he is at a different league compared to other tryouts. He may have occasional lapse in performance because of inexperience but I believe we have got a pure batsman in him.
His comparatively better keeping is actually a bonus.

..had the talent, now showing some maturity. When he first came his batting had some weakness (all leg side shots), but he worked hard and addressed some of the technical issues. He plays with confidence from the beginning, but gets out prematurely. he went back and produced some good innings in local league. He got one chance against Ireland tour andhe produced, get got into the team as reserve. Now he got another chance to play in the WC and in his first WC game, he came in difficult situation and he showed enormous maturity and skill to give Sakib a hand to take us up-to the end. What more can you expect from a young reserve player from his first game in WC?
I know its just one game. But in this one game he was a gem.

Totally agreed, even a Litton critique cannot complain.You have to have tremendous ability to play your first game in the world cup and score 94*(69) coming at a situation where your team is in a precarious position.
The thing about litton is, he is the ideal batsman moving forward. Mithun or Imrul will play these good slow innings here or there but seldom strike it over 80. Litton came in and scored at 130+ without taking too much risk at the beginning. His 76 against Ireland was class too, effortless.
It was also great to see that he actively tries to rotate strike which Mithun, Sabbir and Riad can't do.
I hope he is consistent and alsp improve a few things, which includes his footwork when ball is bowled close the stumps

With Mossadek reportedly out due to injury.. very very important for Liton to put up a good score today

“A few years ago, he would have run away from a bouncer. I have lost count of the number of times he had been hit on the helmet or the body. There had been times when even we even feared for his safety while batting. Maybe, he was very short that fast bowlers targeted him with short-balls. It also didn't help him that he never looked to duck or sway from bouncers. He was so feisty that he wanted to take them on,”

So after the regular sessions were over, he used to take him to nets and feed him with chest-high full tosses from 15 yards. “The same old trick, wet tennis balls at his body. The number of balls he faced went up from 100 in the first week to 300 by the third. After a while, every day I used to wake up with a shoulder strain,”

Quote:
“We needed 46 runs in the last three overs, and he just came and belted Hossain for five successive boundaries,”
“After the first pull, the opposition captain stationed three fielders in the leg. But it didn't matter, he kept playing the pulls, beat them all and we won the match with 2-3 balls to spare,”

Love reading such stories!!

Nice article although talks only how ecstatic Montu D is from the two pull shots his ex student produced - could be little more analytic and investigative.

Maybe it's time to drop Liton from ODIs. He has played 43 ODIs and stat-padded his below 30 average. If you take away the 6 50+ scores he has from his 43 innings, his batting average is less than 14 from the remaining 36.

If you do the same for Kohli (take away all of his 50+ scores) then he averages like 19 or something. Not defending Liton just saying you can’t take off someones good performances, everyones stats will drop if you do that.

Liton is one of the best batsman in Bangladesh. I would pick him as one of the first names in the team sheet. However he should not open. He should always play in the middle order or late order. Opening in domestic is not the same as in international game.
Bangladesh should open with Naim and Tamim. I am not sure why Naim is not given adequate chances. Naim is better than those Shadman Afif and Saif Hasan (all of them extremely over-rated).
In the bowling The new Mehedi is far superior all rounder than Mehedi Miraz . Miraz can play in test but should be nowhere near odi and T20 team.

LKD needs yo be a bit more consistent I think.
He’s got the potential to bash the Zimbabwe bowling but somehow he’s not too patient .

For me technically, Mushy and Tamim are our greatest ever batsmen.
I expect Liton to be added onto that list in a few years.

Stepped it up a bit recently, very nice to see. Let’s see what he can do from here, looks to have worked on the mental side of things in test cricket which has been the biggest reason he’s improved.
