SERIES SALAD

Bishwajit Roy
The Tigers had a strange experience an hour before the third and final one-day international starting al the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.
New Zealand all-rounder Andre Adams was mimicking how Bangladeshi batsmen appeared in the middle to handle the Kiwi bowlers during the series while coach Dav Whatmore supervising a light practice with his charges before the match.
The spectators at the Big Bowl responded with a cheer especially when the Black Caps all-rounder, who was named 12th man for the last limited-overs game, copied Bangladesh opener Javed Omar Belim's bat lifting.
But it might have been an irritating experience for the home batsmen who frustrated the home crowd with their wretched batting throughout theseries.
AMINUL AT THE BNS
There was a surprise visitor al the BNS. It was none other than former Bangladesh captain Aminul Islam.
The first player to score a century in country's Test history, believed it was just a matter of time before the Tigers made their mark on the international stage.
Aminul, who now plays club cricket in Australia, still could not resist the chance of seeing the next generation of Bangladesh cricketers take on the Kiwis in the third and final one-day international.
"1 think there is no reason to be frustrated with Bangladesh's cricket. Look how impressive our boys are in bowling and fielding. We just need to improve our batting and I believe we will overcome the bad patch soon because wc have some talented cricketers in the squad," he said adding that he was not thinking about his chances of a comeback to the national side.
Bangladesh's highest Test scorer with 145 against India on this ground, Aminul has yet to announce his retirement from international cricket after making his final Tbst appearance against Zimbabwe in2001.
He was later invited into the STAR Sport's commentary box and gave a polished performance over the microphone when chatting with Alan Wilkins.
WHERE WAS NAZMUL?
Il is always better not to hide anything to avoid confusion.
So reporters were taken aback when they saw young paceman Nazmul Hossain not in the playing eleven for the last match after a brilliant spell of bowling in Chittagong against the visiting New Zealanders.
At first nobody was ready to accept Bangladesh team manager MA Latif Khan's explanation that the 17-year old right-arm pacer youngster was sick and that's why he was excluded.
Then there were whisperings that the youngster was dropped to make way for all-rounder Mushfiqur Rahman who was the preferred choice of stand-in captain Khaled Mashud whenever the Rajshahi stumper gets the chance to lead the team.
The confusion increased when Nazmul was fielding as 12th man. However, it was later confirmed that Under-19 pacer Rubaiyat did the job wearing Nazmul's shirt
While this was going on, unlucky Nazmul, who also fell ill before the Test series, sat in front of the dressingroom.
"The doctor has advised him to take rest because he is suffering from fever. We were forced to drop him at the eleventh hour. He will-be examined tomorrow," informed Latif.
