Tapash Baisha or Talha Jubair

[Pundit]

Why choose one over the other ?

What are their differences ??

...any comments.

Besides Talha Jubair's slight shin injury during the SL tour, I see that the only difference between them is in their batting.

Which means Tapash Baisya can bat - already has a fifty under his name in test match cricket - and although Talha Jubair can bat also, he is not as good.

But, Talha Jubair is a much better pacer to trouble Australia or New Zealand batsman than Tapash Baisya - if anybody has the chance to trouble any opposition batsman at all - it is Talha Jubair - not Tapash Baisya.

Given that England's two most experienced speicalist batsman Nasser Hussain and Alec Stewart did not play, Talha Jubair has bowled for 10 overs with 1 wicket - the wicket of Trescothick and that also giving away only 48 runs. Whereas Tapash Baisya has given away 61 runs in his 10 overs with 1 wicket.

Also, Talha gave away 7 wides among his 48 runs, while Tapash Baisya did not give any extra run.

In addition, Talha was out for a duck after facing 2 balls and Tapash had scored 9 runs in 15 balls.

So, who would you pick? [Monju is a must - unless he is injured]

Just imagine a lineup that looks like this -

Manju
Masri
Talha/Tareq
Talha/Tapash

And the magic of either Rafique or Enamul.

I think in 2 years we will be restricting others to gettable totals on our day. Chasing it successfully might however be a different story altogether.

You're gonna have to consider the pitch condition.
