Somedays he (naeem) would come out in the crease to rebuild an innings after the collapse of top order, other times he would just come to face 2 3 deliveries where he has to hit the ball out of the park.
So those stats could be misleading and especially so because he bats at #8 and the TEAM being Bangladesh

Im not trying to say you're wrong. You might be right i just dont agree with your statement where you said "theres enough eveidence", there isnt as im suggesting those stats arent so reliable in context to his abilities.

P.S i wonder where he got his nickname of *chokka Naeem* from if he cant hit the ball hard enough ? He must have done something in the domestic level that earned him the name .. just a consideration.
finally someone talking some sense..agree with whatever you've said about naeem..also I thin naeem got the name in domestic competition..1 time in a DPL OD game he hit six 6's in an over..
