if bashing minnows is even a minor factor in figuring out who our best ODI batsman is, then SN would take the cake. but clearly he doesn't despite having a 50+ average against minnows.
as for SRs, suppose javed omar averages 40 in 10 innings at a SR of 45.50, that will actually be more detrimental to the team what aftab scoring 22.00 per innings at a SR of 100+

Again too much minnow talk.
I think pocha has summarized the thread well, please re-read his post.

Agree 100% with Russell. The issue is Ash (who is considered the best in BD) averages the same like a mediocre ODI player (HaBa), both of whom has played the same number of matches in over 8+ years. Period.
I dont care about BullSh!t talent and potential if that does n't translate to real numbers/performance. 100+ matches is good enough in any international sport to prove one's talent (if any).

And when Ash was averaging 30!!?? He is averaging a mere 24.57 is his last 20 ODI innings.
