Taijul Islam and Miraz (Mehidy) have been bowling well for some time now. I believe they will do something fantastic in this series.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nShakib backed left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and off-spinning all-rounder Mehidy Hasan, to do well against the Aussies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after: always\"><span style=\"display: none;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Taijul and Miraz are bowling well. Spinners like Raj bhai (Abdur Razzak) and (Mohammad) Rafique bhai were around in my early days,&quot; Shakib said.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;But there weren&#39;t pitches that helped wicket-taking, because we didn&#39;t really think about winning Test matches. Since now we are focused on winning, the pitches have also become more helpful for spinners.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAustralia have experienced spinner Nathan Lyon, left-arm spinner Ashton Agar, and legspinner Mitchell Swepson.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nShakib is on the cusp of completing a set of five-wicket hauls against all nine other Test countries. This feat has only been achieved by Muttiah Muralitharan, Dale Steyn and Rangana Herath.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I have that in mind. I have four innings to do it so let&#39;s see, Shakib said. &quot;It is more important to contribute, so if someone else takes a five-wicket haul it is good for the team. Taking wickets isn&#39;t really up to me.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;There are times when I don&#39;t get a single wicket despite bowling very well. And then there are times when I got wickets by not bowling well. Bowling [in] partnerships is also essential, so we have to keep that in mind too.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
