On second thought, after looking at his stats I think OP actually gives Shakib more credit than he deserves. From purely statistical perspective he's worse than most tailenders. He can't even score against weak teams. In ICC tourneys, against West Indies he averages 4 (four) and against the Netherlands he averages 1 (one)...yes you read that right and no those are not typos. If I'm picking a batsman for my team I'd definitely take Chris Martin over Shakib any day.
