thing, if you go with 2 specialist pacers they have to be
quality and turn up everyday otherwise you need a 3rd pace
option even if they are just a part timer, they need to be at
least reasonable though.  the fact is BD are very fortunate to
have shakib, a guy who is good enough of a batsman to be in the
top 5 and a good enough bowler to basically be the #1 bowler it
means BD should be able to take an extra bowling option. so we
have shakib and sunny/razzak and 2 specialist pacers. that
should be a definate, the final spot can then be decided on
pitch, if it's a pacers pitch then take another pacer, if it's a
spinners one then go with a spinner.  in one-dayers and t20s we
can probably take shakib, sunny and razzak into a match but in
tests we can't, razzak has shown he's not a test match bowler.
