His attitude was positive and that intent alone translated into runs for us. But to say that he didn't have much deficiency in his technique is a blatant, but willful disregard of facts. His productivity or numbers by our standard are not in question here.

bashar is done...i fully agree with that. unless he does what pilot is doing, there is no way he should come back.
however if you look at bashar's stats, for a while in his career he was averaging 40 and for the vast majority of it was averaging 35, 36. thats comparable to ganguly and sarwan. bashar was class, no friggin doutb about it. but the key word is was.
i agree his technique was non existant, but rare players can suceed without technique, and often technically sound players struggle (e.g. rajin saleh).
its a bit like education. not all rich or successful people are educated, although most are. similarily not all educated people are rich.
