Someone better explain to me

This is disturbing me a lot .This is not the way we should select or drop our players.

May be it's time to change our selectors and do something new.

Has been saying it all along...no one paid attention until now! Is there someone to whom this selection committee is accountable to?

Rana (25.70) is a bowler who can't bat but averages better than batsmen who have potentials. Where does this puts the potentially sound, technically superior batsmen? Alok (17.69), Aftab (20.86), Ash (24.87), N Iqbal (23.54), S Nafees (19), JO (22.44) ?

Rajin (26.92) should be in if he is in form.

Why do you guys keep excluding stats of Zim? Aftab, Ash, bashar didn't play against Zim?

Well said, Cats_eye. To answer your last question - its the number game - manipulate the way you want! lie, damn lie, and statistics.

Its a common practice in cricket (check cricinfo analyses) to exclude numbers piled up against the minnows in order to judge how a player really was doing. A player could average 25 against 5 teams by scoring between 20 to 30 against all. He can also average 25 by scoring an 80 against Zimbabwe and averaging 5 against the other 4 teams. There is a basic degree of difference here.

This is not the main thing I questioned Sham about. I hope the subject won't get sidetracked from this.

and lastly, the more I see Shahriar Nafees bat, the more I think that he needs to see a batting coach and work on his technique. he is uncomfortable against the short ball and has a tendency to drive without any footwork when he is given a bit of width. definitely not good enough for an opener and i'm not sure whether thats good enough for a middle order batsman at this level either! and his two second innings dismissals were shockers! here is another "typical bd batsman who throws away his wicket at first opportunity" in the making!
