next is rafique with 100 wickets, 48 innings, average of 40, strike rate 87

then we have mash and shahadat. mash has 78 wickets from 51 innings, average in the 41s, strike rate over 76 while shahadat has 70 wickets from 56 innings, average almost 52, strike rate 74.

those are all of the hugely significant wicket takers that BD have produced.

the next group are enamul jr with 44 wickets from his 26 innings, average 40.61, strike rate 80.6 and tapash with 36 wickets from 29 innings, strike rate 93.7.

sohag is next on the list from just 15 innings where he's taken 34 wickets, average 35.32, strike rate 74.

so tapash took 2 more wickets but has bowled in 14 more innings than gazi so it's pretty obvious that gazi has performed better overall than tapash.

with enamul jr he has 10 more wickets but it's also from 10 more innings, given gazi's record to-date you'd expect him to get to 44 wickets quicker than enamul jr, at least based on wickets to innings ratio.

from here it gets tougher to compare because the rest have played a lot more than gazi but let's say gazi continues as he is currently going off his 15 innings to date. he's going to have 68 wickets from 30 innings, 2 wickets short of shahadat who took 70 wickets in 56 innings that would be a difference of 2 wickets but 26 innings

similar for mash. it would be 10 more wickets for mash but from 21 more innings.

to even up the innings a bit more let's say gazi continues on his current path all the way to 45 innings, he's going to have 102 wickets. that surpasses even rafique who took his 100 wickets from 48 innings.

i was bored...

No problem! Enjoyed reading that. Suffer from more boredom so we can discuss Bd cricket! lol. The way you get into the nitty gritty, you would be a great contributor guest on a Bd cricket radio show I want to produce.
