Mushfiqur Rahim - 104.71
Nasir Hossain - 116.51
Mahmudullah - 85.12
Ziaur Rahman - 170.00

So, of our top and middle order, Nasir has the third best strike rate in T20Is. He may not look like the type of player who can belt a ball all over the park but somehow he gets the job done - and he clearly does it on the big, international stage rather than in warm-up or domestic T20s. Yes, his form is a concern but evidence of the past year indicates that he comes good, more often than not.

Yeah apparently he does get the job done but his current form is a major concern. And the sooner he gets his form back the better. And that was the point I was trying to make

I've never questioned Nasir's inclusion and talent. I did raise a finger at his T20 form and wanted Alok in the XIV since he is a better hitter of the ball.( Now I don't want him in place of Nasir but think Alok can have a place in our T20 XIV ) But thanx for the stats. I had no idea that his SR is that high..
