balls profile: Shakib Al-Hasan

There seems to be almost no proof of Shakib’s existence before he topped the world’s all-rounder rankings.  It was like he wasn’t there, and then, wow, there he is.  Was made captain of the Bangladeshi team because he was the only one with a driver’s license who had kissed a girl.  His left arm spin looks shit at times, but occasionally he gets it right.  Takes a lot of 5 wicket hauls, although at least some of them have to be because all other Bangladeshi bowlers are heaps shitter than him.  Is also a decent batsman, currently he bats in the Bangladeshi death seat of the middle order.  Has the captaincy insticts of a rotting seagull.

    When does his left-arm spin look shit?

    • jrod says:

      Ris, when he bowls flat non spinning crap down the legside for hours on end. When he pushes it through to not get runs. When he doesn’t try to spin it. He is a good bowler, but when he is horribble, he really out does himself.

    Yes Rishabh, get in there. Sometimes Graeme Swann’s bowling looks shit as well.

  3. I think Shakib is a decent bowler but reduces his own effectiveness by taking on the restricting bowler role ‘coz the others leak runs as if there is no tomorrow. I support him wholeheartedly only for the reason that he has taken out KP a few times..

    Wish I`d read this prior to taking a taxi to Toronto Airport. I may have been able to engage the driver with a little more than the usual pap that comes into my head when confronted by a Bangladeshi cricket fan.

    So does Randiv get honorary Aussie citizenship or not?

  6. Rishabh says:

    He’s like a mini-Vettori, though with possibly with more potential

    The B’deshi cricketers play like such idiots you’d think they were still part of Pakistan.
