Khaled Mahmud was arguably one of the least talented cricketers ever to captain his country, but he brought an amateur's enthusiasm to one of the least palatable tasks in world cricket. Despite scoring a composed 47 on his international debut, against India at Dhaka in 1997-98, it was as a wobbly seam bowler that he made his mark on the game, for better or for worse. During the 1999 World Cup, Mahmud made the most of England's early-season conditions to take three top-order wickets for 31 runs, as Pakistan crashed to a 62-run defeat at Northampton. It was a result that all but sealed Bangladesh's elevation to Test status. A good communicator and team man, he succeeded Khaled Mashud as Bangladesh captain, following their humiliating 2003 World Cup. But it was during this period that his Test bowling average briefly ballooned above 400 - the worst mark of all time. As Bangladesh's run of failures continued, Mahmud became the target for a hostile crowd, particularly during his final series in charge, against England in late 2003. He was dropped from the squad soon afterwards, and retired, only to reverse his decision shortly afterwards. Though he hasn't played a Test since November 2003, he's been a regular in the one-day squad and took career-best figures of 4 for 19 against Zimbabwe in March 2004. Mahmud announced intentions to retire in October 2005 but made one last appearance against Sri Lanka in February 2006. Fittingly, he top-scored and left the arena to a standing ovation - but it was still not enough to save his side.
