Sham...agreed..I want to add another angle to the discussion. Suppose! we decide that the stage is set for a pinch-httier...who should do it? I used to think Rafique was the ideal choice...however now I think may be we should rethink that. For me the ideal pinch-hitter is someone who can do the job without being sorely missed in his usual batting position. Rafique has become a vital cog in our late order hitting and losing him cheaply (when sent as pinch-hitter) causes us double the headache. I think Masrafe or Tapash should be considered as pinch hitters simply because they can hit the ball cleanly, have good technique, and losing them cheaply may not quite cause the psychological setback that we associate with rafique's cheap dismissal.
