Against good quality bowling strike rate of 74 is obviously good.

AGAINST GOOD QUALITY BOWLING? YOU CALL NEW ZEALAND'S CURRENT BOWLING LINE UP "GOOD QUALITY BOWLING"? NEW ZEALAND PLAYED WITHOUT SHANE BOND, OBRIEN, CHRIS MARTIN, KYLE MILLS.
bangladesh faced a 2nd tier bowling line up and yet imrul wasted 138 balls to score 101 runs.
i am not a twenty20 fan, but a die hard ODI fan.
a strike rate of below 80 in an odi innings can not be good. that ground was a small ground, most of the time people score at a strike rate of 90+ in that ground i believe. wasting 138 balls to score 101, not very convincing. i am not saying he did bad, i am saying it is not good enough to outperform a top team.
around 240 is not a good score in that ground, i repeat.
we need players like imrul kayes but the strike rate has to improve if bangladesh wants to beat top teams.
