Three 100s and one 50 in 10 FC matches, and two 100s and one 50 in 5 List-A matches from a bangladeshi all-rounder are not good enough to call spectacular batting. Why? That's grade A "rubbish".

A bit of research always helps before shooting off at the mouth, or from some other orfice i've been told by men wiser than I. Here are the stats from his recent NCL performance, if you don't find the stats in bold ranging from very good to spectacular, especially compared to other all-rounders in the tournament, we don't share the same prejudices or PLANET for that matter: -
