Default Skewed Data

Durjoy the bowler: His 6 wicket haul by "throwing" the ball in BD's first test. This makes his data overvalued.

Ash the batsman: His century against SL. However, he has tremendous potential, and that should not be taken away from him.

Monjur the bowler: His only value in the TEST team is that he possibly frustrates the batsmen to such extent that they try wreckless shots against other bowlers, awarding them the wicket. He is therefore undervalued.

Kapali the batsman: He has begun his career against the stronger teams (not India as it was when we played them, nor Zimbabwe). So, the hope is that his average can only climb. He too is undervalued.

Rafiq the batsman (really ?) : Is this Rafiq the spinner ? Given his bowling prowess in test matches he will hardly be getting into the team. Therefore his good average hardly matters. He is overvalued.

I say give Tushar's spot to Ashraful. Not Bulbul, not Nannu (his age means that he is a serious case of diminishing return), and CERTAINLEY NOT Akram Khan.
