Default Mahmudullah - Head on the Chopping Block?

After a superb home series against India and Sri Lanka earlier this year, Riyad seemed to have gone out of gas. He has not scored a single fifty in his last 20 ODI innings, since the NZ tour. His low position in the batting order prolly can be used to justify his lack of runs, but his low SR of 58.58 is certainly unfitting for a #7 batsman. He has not contributed much as a bowler in the period either, only bowling 79.5 overs in 20 ODIs.

IMO, he is a total waste at #7. Management either needs to find him a higher position in the batting order, or just discard him for the time being. There are much more deserving prospects (ie Sabbir and Nasir) are out there for the #7 slot.

drop him from odi team.

If u move him up the order he will be the same due his inability to rotate the strike;will become Rok 2.


Its time to bring Nasir or shabbir for no 7 who ujses their brian as well as have the ability to hit.

I am one of his biggest fans, but hey, for the current improvement of the performance of the national team and for himself, i say he takes a break and comes back as a better batsmen, a better player.

I don't just get this guy. When he needs to play well in batting powerplay, he plays to save follow on, and when he's just required to stay there, he plays a wild slog and gets out.

Same here, I still like the guy, he is still technically one of the better batsmen that we have. He should be still a must in the Test team (whenever we play in that format next), but just don't see him fit for the ODI team atm.

Imagine any one in same position from IND or SL team would easily worked till end to save his team. What a selfish or egoistic or greedy or foolish or wrong headed player he is/was today. Cant just figure out what made him to play that shot at that moment, run rate and everything was all in our favor, unbelieveable. I wouldnt mind if he was out for good ball or fielding or reason. Cant help but slap him on the face.

Absolutely. The guy since tri series has hurt his team with his sluggish batting during the end of our innings. Riyad should just stick to tests because I believe he's our perfect #7 for tests. He's shown the ability to score big in tests but his style is just not fitting for ODIs. I don't think moving him up will be the answer either. He's not like Naeem where he bats in the top order in domestics and in the national team he's a lower order batsman. Riyad has always been a middle/lower order batsman. So either he bats at #7 or he gets dropped and for me he's just not done the job.

Mahmudullah Riyad has been on an easy ride in the team like Mohammad Ahsraful of past.He is not determined to reach any goal.He is not in the race of saving the spot in the team, so rest him for some matches and let him understand there is no place for slowcoach!

entirely agree.
I believe Ryad is a very good batsman,perhaps the best after Sakib,Tamim,Imrul.
He needs to get dropped,I'm sure he will make a strong comeback.

The other threads people are blaming Ash. Just because Ash played a crucial part to the loss doesn't mean we should cut slack for Riyad who hasn't done well this year at all. It's true though Ash played a bigger part to our loss today then Riyad.

Ash started it but riyad finished it...there was no need 4 him to play that shot and get out that time..if only he had been there Shakib would have brought us home..a simple thing..had to just give Shakib the strike and Riyad had to blow it

Atleast he bowled well today. He needs to move at no.4 position in place of Ashraful. May be we need someone like Sabbir in lower order.

He's one of the guys I really want to see do well but he seems lost at the moment.

I agree with Eshen, either change his role or sit him out for the time being.

But there are other glaring issues for the team too.

Mash - Forces Shakib to bowl him 5/6 overs even if he's leaking runs. You can bring him back so the team needs to compensate as you don't get full 10 overs

Ash - What more can I say that hasn't been said already. He gets dropped, we get a historical series win and he's brought right back in again !

Junaid - Playing for Test spot. He started a good T20 player with the ability to hit but now seems desperate to prove ability to block and stay in the crease

SN - Surely the NZ series deserved to keep him in the squad and not a reserve

I said this before and I'll say it again.. I don't think it was a coincidence that the 4-0 NZ wash came without Mash and Ash in the team. There is something about their presence (post injury era for Mash) that seems to create a negative body language in the team.

I think alok kapali deserves another chance in the bangladesh national team, and im very confident kapali would do better in ODI'S and in TWENTY20'S than what mahmudullah and ashraful did in todays match, and what mahmudullah done in the recent nz series!
