Mashrafee Mortaza: The 4th Best Striker in the World

[babubangla]

Mashrafee Mortaza now holds the 4th best ODI batting strike-rate in the world.
Mashrafee’s current strike rate is 105.51. There are only 7 players in the world (with minimum 20 innings) with a strike rate above 100. When I checked day before the match against Kenya, he was 15th on the list with strike rate something around 94. But with his remarkable onslaught of 44 in 16-ball, he moved up to the 4th position in the list of All-time ODI Best Batting Strike Rate. Only MS Dhoni (108.73), Shahid Afridi (108.43) and Andy Blignaut (106.65) are above Mashrafee at this moment.

Good Job Mashrafee.
Hit’em Hard!!

[Ahmed_B]

Interesting! :)

I hope he bats on nore occassions and improves his Average as well. He is a great slogger for us and will make a difference in many matches to come I think.

[karimjay.]

Haha. Go Mashrafee! Hmm..I was wondering..If we had one Adam Gilchrist, Five Mashrafees and Five in form Afridis, will we have an extremely strong team?

[shovon13]

how about five lara's, five ambrose's, and a gilchrist. i think that team is better.

[mshakir56]

We will be the best team in the histroy of the game and no one would ever better it.

*Hasib wakes up from his pleasent dream*

[Umar]

[cracky]

Wow, nice find, Babubangla.

[KaaL-PurusH]

and how about 10 mashrafee as all rounder and a pilot as batsman. i think that's more better :P

[Fortuner]

I feel Mash can be all rounder like how pathan is transforming himself into...

Go mash..go...

jaihok,
obosshoi eta kintu akta shushongbad. asha korbo mashrafee tar ai tandob lila bojay rakhben. dhannabad.

[al Furqaan]

pathan as of late has not been bowling well...

masri has only faced like 200 odd balls, so that SR is deceptive when compared to afridi, and dhoni.

but still the way he bats, Masri will prolly still have a career SR of at least 90 but prolly 95-100.

true true.. its totally worthless if he can never make the same affort again when its needed.. cause i remember few months age he was facing this problem.. he didn't make much runs and totally forgot how to bat.. oh ya in the england tour

[shamster]

one thing mashrafe hates is a bouncing bowl.. hope he learns to bat well in all conditions would be nice to have a hard hitting all rounder in the site as Rafique wont last last with age nearing

[arafath79]

Mashrafe's main job is bowling !! If he is good with his bowling then fine !!! He didn't bowl that good against Kenya !! :(

Nope thats not going to work. Where's our spinner?

[moinkhan]

Thanks to Mashrafee, it's fantastic to see BD posting like 105 in last 10 overs.

[Mon]

Masrafee is a great asset for us. good luck
:joy:

[Rabz]

hope mashree can keep up this kinda battin in the later overs of the game..
that would be a great asset for our team....

he has all the chance of becoming a bowler allrounder of our team..

well done mashree...keep up the good work

How about 2 of Bashars, Ashrafuls, Rafiques, Mashrafees & Rasel along with our one and only Pilot?

[karimjay.]

A good team. But my team will make your team look like how Bangladesh is making Kenya look.

[hkooraham]

Mash is a great asset.
