I am afraid bhai that the record tells the story, and not temporary form over one of two games. Most of the BD squad average under 30. This is why the batting is what it is.
Taibu's record shows what a fine batsmen he is. His record proves his skill levels. You don't lose skill like that. The saying goes, "form is temporary, class is permanent" if you want to start talking about who is good. Agreed Mushy is vastly improved (which he needed to be or else Jahirul would be playing again) but Taibu is a class act.
What I always find curious is how the most biased fans can find something in a crumb of comfort to make a point when the overwhelming odds and stats prove the case against them. You base your views on what you 'think' and not what is indeed fact.
