Shakib is not a domestic bully but he's more successful in international cricket where as players like Ash are not equal with their ability to turn talent into performance. For some players it takes big occassions to be at their best where as for others big occassions kill their natural ability. So in the end, a good combination of basic and temperament is the key for every players success.

Have to agree. Temperament is something that seperates men from boys. When Nasir came into the intl scene he probably didnt have the domestics stat to back up his inclusion into the team ahead of many other prospects but boy did he have the temperament one needs to be an international standard batsman. He seems one of those who is undaunted by pressure and is so cool and calm. Remember, he averages 40+ in intl cricket

We need players with the temparement like nasir. Hopefully, anamul will be as good temparement wise as Nasir. And after seeing his batting, inshallah he will solve our No. 3 problem
