Who the heck would change their game from aggressive to defensive for fun?
Many of our so-called "Bang! Bang!" players have turned out to be big duds when it comes to big-hitting and strike rates around or above 100.
Sakib is a perfect example. I remember reading articles about him titles "Saqibul Hasan blasts Bangladesh to victory", and things like that. But then I watched him play for the first time during the ICC champions trophy in 2006, against Sri lanka. I was shocked to see how slow he played when he should have been accelerating to allow us the chance to win that match. He was unbeaten on 67, a knock which took 104 deliveries.
Anyway, perhaps Nafis Iqbal was another one of these players. Maybe he looked like a very fluent player in academy and first class matches, but when it came to the big league, as i like to call it, he gumbied up.
