A squad for all conditions Bangladeshs 14-man squad for the first Test includes four specialist spinners, two seamers and many allrounders. They have options who can perform on a rank turner or a really flat deck at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. However, the grounds reputation in longer-version matches veers towards the latter, so Mushfiqur Rahim may have to pick an XI that bats deep. In that case, they may go for both pace bowlers in the squad, and bank on Shuvagata Hom for some offspin.Teams have scored in excess of 400 runs on nine out of 28 occasions in the first innings at this ground. But if curator Zahid Reza puts out a pitch that offers turn from the first day, it will end up being a battle between spinners on both sides.Sabbir ahead of Soumya At this stage it seems Sabbir Rahmans form and ability to raise the strike-rate will win him the No 7 slot with Shakib Al Hasan batting just one place above him. Sabbir doesnt have a great first-class record, and neither has he played a lot since the 2013-14 season, but his 60-odd international matches are enough to prove that he belongs at this level.The team management could, however, have to choose between him and Soumya Sarkar, despite the left-handers poor form of late. This choice can come up if they plan to go for the one specialist seamer, in which case Soumyas ability to bowl seam-up may give him the nod.Why Shuvagata Hom? He must be tired of being questioned about his place, and once again, Shuvagata Hom hasnt convinced many with his inclusion. Primarily a middle-order batsman, he is being picked as a specialist offspinner since the 2014 West Indies tour. His Test bowling record isnt up to the mark but since his last Test, against India, he has taken 25 wickets and scored eight fifties in first-class matches.As an offspinner, Sohag Gazi has taken a lot more wickets (48) in the same period, while among all specialist Bangladeshi spinners in domestic first-class cricket in the last 15 months, Abdur Razzak and Sunzamul Islam have taken 71 and 68 wickets respectively. Shuvagatas background as a batsman possibly gets him the place, though the selectors keep saying that he is a specialist spinner these days.Pace conundrum The decision to go with just the two pace bowlers is justifiable given the conditions in Chittagong but the selectors have taken a major risk by including an injury-prone Shafiul Islam and the uncapped Kamrul Islam Rabbi.Shafiul has recently returned to the ODI squad but hasnt given a convincing performance against Afghanistan and England. His last major haul in domestic first-class tournament was back in 2013-14. Apart from getting injured after short stints at the top level, Shafiuls other problem is his generally limited-overs length that he often bowls in Tests.Rabbi is a promising pace bowler who has carried Barisal Divisions burden for a number of years. His ability to bowl quickly and produce late swing with the old ball gave him the nod, and so did a genuine lack of choice among fast bowlers.Mashrafe Mortaza, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman and Mohammad Shahid are unavailable in Tests though they are Bangladeshs firepowers in ODIs and T20s. The likes of Robiul Islam, Shahadat Hossain and Mohammad Sharif are long out of favour while rookies like Ebadat Hossain, Mehedi Hasan Rana and Abdul Halim are too raw, which leaves the selectors with very to choose from.Loss of a match-winner Among the three players dropped from Bangladeshs last Test squad from July 2015, only legspinner Jubair Hossain draws some sympathy. He has now subsided to the point where he was dropped from his domestic first-class team, Dhaka Metropolis, in their last NCL match. Coach Chandika Hathurusingha lamented his decline but a bit more support from his domestic captains, coaches and team officials could have given this rookie legspinner a lot more confidence.Jubair became a victim of Bangladesh crickets apathy towards legsin despite his promising start in Tests in 2014. Being backed by only the national team management didnt take him too long to lose confidence, and that is evident in his bowling figures of late. But with such thin bowling resources, the BCB should find a way to bring this talented bowler back in the fray. Nike Vapormax Mens Trainers Sale .

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Mark Walton saved Miami against Florida Atlantic last year.He was even better in the rematch.Walton rushed for career highs of 155 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 25 Miami shook off a slow start to beat Florida Atlantic 38-10 on Saturday night.He ran for three touchdowns against FAU a year ago, and this time became the sixth Miami back in program history to rush for four in a game.Im not a stats guy, Walton said. Its great for me. Great for me to be the sixth or whatever. Im not big on stats. I just go out there and play and my ability showed tonight.Walton scored on runs of 7, 3, 16 and 30 yards. He was suspended for much of the offseason after a drunken-driving arrest, a charge that was dropped, and said hes had a chip on his shoulder since returning.He just plays with a lot of passion and heart, said Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya, who completed 17 of 31 passes for 191 yards for the Hurricanes and was picked off twice. He shows up every day and gets after it.Miami (2-0) set a school record with 108 points in the seasons first two games, breaking the previous mark of 104 set in 1998 and matched in 2002.I just want to score enough to win, truthfully, said Miami coach Mark Richt, who is the 10th coach to win his first two games on the Hurricane sideline. I like when theres not a whole lot of drama.Greg Howell rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown for FAU (1-1). Jason Driskel completed 18 of 36 passes for 167 yards for the Owls, who punted on their first seven possessions. Kalib Woods caught nine balls for 121 yards.We came here to win. We didnt accomplish the mission we came here to accomplish, FAU coach Charlie Partridge said. The good news is these are all very fixable things for a very young football team -- a very young, talented football team.Joe Yearby ran for 121 yards and a score for the Hurricanes. Miami ooutgained FAU 470-214, and forced nine punts for the second consecutive game.ddddddddddddI thought our defense played spectacular, Richt said. Very obvious how great they played. They would not let it get interesting at all.THE TAKEAWAYFlorida Atlantic: The Owls had chances early, getting into Miami territory five times in the first half but only coming away with three points. Driskel was poised against Miamis rush, but his offensive line failed him -- and Howell, who managed only 16 yards on nine first-half carries. The FAU defensive front caused Miamis experienced offensive line plenty of problems, a good sign for the Owls.Miami: The Hurricanes regressed in the first half, plagued again by the mistakes that doomed them in past seasons. There were drops, a missed field goal for the second straight week and silly penalties -- roughing the punter most egregious among them. Kaaya threw multiple interceptions for the first time since Game 6 of his freshman season, though he got clobbered on one. But Miami found what worked in the second half.POLL IMPLICATIONSMiami might not be a lock to stay in the AP Top 25. Floridas big win over Kentucky could get the Gators back in the ranking, though No. 22 Oklahoma States loss -- the Cowboys fell to Central Michigan on the last play of the game, though officials later said the winning score should not have counted -- may be enough to keep the Hurricanes ranked.UP NEXTFAU: The Owls visit Kansas State next Saturday. Its the only time FAU leaves Florida in the first six weeks of this season.Miami: A dangerous game awaits at Appalachian State next Saturday. The Mountaineers are 18-3 in their last 21 games, and the biggest crowd in the history of Kidd Brewer Stadium is expected. ' ' '
