I agree with AF here. If you guys haven't noticed, Mushy's strike rate as well as batting has improved significantly in the last few games. Yes he screwed up yesterday, but I was more than glad that he tried to hit out and got out when runs weren't coming on an incredibly flat pitch. If anyone is ruining the middle-order, it's Rakibul Hasan of late. Out of form, and still not able to rotate strike regularly, let alone score at a quick rate on a flat pitch, I find him a burden on the rest of the batting line-up. India have a horrible bowling line-up, which is why he survived yesterday. Otherwise, he would've played out is usual 10 balls and then edge one to slip or the keeper as he has been doing of late against quality fast bowling. He needs to get his act together because he's wasting an important number 4 spot, where perhaps someone like Naeem could make better use of it. Mushy is simply a better version of Rakibul.
