Raju enables us to bat deep with positive intent and I think that's important. Guys like Babu, Dollar and to a lesser extent, Farhad Reza bat better than they bowl from what I've seen, and the jury's still out on Tapash, who can also bat.

Bowling-wise he has a long way to go but can be a decent 3rd seamer of us, provided someone instills the desire and the technique in him to bowl more accurately without compromising pace and venom. A tall order indeed without Ian who did a wonderful job with RBX and Shuhash in a VERY short period of time. At least RBX has managed to hold on to that learning somewhat. We ought to be a spin-centric attack anyway at this point.
