Ian, look what you did. Now you have caused dissention in the ranks.

Time to split this and move to Forget Cricket?

Hard luck chinaman! Apart from fuelling to the idle-but-(what-the-heck)-"academic" arguments here, this thread is taking us nowhere near redirecting the wind. And yes, some of the posts are disproving our idea that we left our junior-school-life-futile-obstinacy to preserve our liberty to nickname ourselves. Well, maybe we are just too old not to become oversized kids in the knickers.

Taking a leave from know-it-all-supersized-adult as above, are we just deserting the 'tigers'?

he is probably pulling himself out of his recent bad-patch..
u shud hav seen him at his peak-form!
Bashar is a class player.. lets hope he comes back in full..

I don't know what is the definition of class player u mean but Bashar definitely not a technically solid batsman.

Bashar is 32, Agent, not in his late twenties...

no i don't think Bashar is technically solid, but I don't find any reason why we should compare him with Ash. He gets the runs at no.3, and Ash is also doing a good job recently. So I think it's going to be best keeping the order as it is.

All our batsmen... starting from the openers upto the late mid-order, suffer from more MENTAL ERRORS than TECHNICAL ERRORS.
They have all got technical faults.. true..
but its actually their problem in attitude and confidence that stop them from having full application of their skills.
So often we see them making silly mistakes and get out or put themselves in danger!
'Confidence' is a very big word on which all of our batsmen still need to work a lot!

And yes.. I agree with many here, that Bash & Ash ar not to be compared.. they both r doing fine in their own places.
