Thanks and wow! what a first post rezwansyed! My first one was like: "fo reals dude" lol
Also thanks zaved vai.

Anyhoo, here is my analysis of Mushfiqur from memory:


Mushfiqur Rahim
Footwork: 6 (mediocre he has a specific problem addressing in next line)
Balance & weight transfer: 5 (it's awkward because of his kujo like behavior exacerbated further by his wicket-keeping stance; he needs to work on ergnomics and posture)
Temperment: 7 (he has saved our a$$ numerous times from under pressure)
Coordination & Timing: 6 (this one is vague because i dont have video so it's from memory)
Strokemaking (range of shots in his repertoire): 6 (again from memory)
Shot selection: 7 (more prudent than ash arising his consistency)
Improvisation & Creativity: 6 (nothing is standing out in my mind)
Ability to pick singles: 8 (highest as he is really good @ RBW and 'hustling')
Ball assessment (leaving bad balls; playing according to merit): 6 (again this one is from recollection)
Finesse and gap placement: 5 (nothing worthy of being highlighted so far)

Total score: 62 (beating Ash by a margin; shows how hard work pays off even slightly more than talent)

Feel free to disagree or elaborate further upon this.
