Shakib al Hasan: Mozart of Cricket



An Inauspicious Birth

Yes, unlike Mozart he was not born in Salzburg or Sholobagh, Magura. However Magura does sound like Salzburg. But unlike Austria we don't see Austrian connection rather Australian connection.

Most legends have birth dates. But for Shakib al Hasan astrologers say he was born to bring Australia down.

Perfect Pitch

It was said he 'pitched' his perfect delivery when he merely threw an apple at age three. By age six, he discovered photographic memory and he could predict all games into their alternate reality bifurcating from variation of his bowling line and length like Nicolas Cage in Next. At age 10, while on a ferry ride to Jatrabari he apparently committed to memory the entire Tendulkar's 200 feat to see at what point he could've got him out just seeing the match once.

Teenage phenom

At age sixteen he was giving one man performances in Magura. He was playing in his imagination 1 man vs 100 and he was surprisingly beating them and winning them all.

At age nineteen, he entered BKSP. It was said after he joined the letters BKSP automatically alphabetized to BKPS or Because Kids Preach Shakib.

Yes Shakib was a religion by now. It wasn't unusual to see in Dhaka two students in white uniform and black pants would walk down the street and knock on doors passing vouchers to convert people to this new religion.

Adult years

It is said during his early 20s he bought the patent to the phrase "#1". So basically #1 Frog Expert to #1 Frogologist (As in Army Guy) to #1 Bowlologist (As in Damien Fleming's Shakib inspired school) or #1 NASA scientist or #1 Shell Collector or #1 Unix coder...you were basically acknowledging Shakib al Hasan.

Reason is because scientists say it is simply 'easier'. It is just easy to say Shakib al Hasan instead of #1 this and that.

To which Athar Ali Khan is countersueing in the amount of 10 billion dollars.

Later years

At this the Wikipedia breaks down, redirects to 'portal' and basically asks, 'What do you want to envision? Just frikkin write dude'.

So you can pretty much make any dumb stuff up basically like Shakib resigns, Bangladesh loses. Any Thing Goes basically which sums up his other moniker 'ATG".

Mozart years and performance

Every ball Shakib bowls is a chord and every over a score and basically every innings a symphony and every series an opera.

Soap opera.

His performance includes when he left New Zealand in tatters. As in he dressed as a homeless man in disguise and asked who do Blackcaps regard as the great of all time (g.o.a.t) to which unsuspect players all replied his name late at night in bar and pubs. It also includes when he scored 200. Not 200 miniuets in his pianoforte. Instead 200 times female DJs went swooning in RADIO FOORTI to much chagrin of his wife.

Shakib solved Kryptos. Basically Shakib's economy figures encrypt a vignerre cipher to solve the most defying problem ever.

Personal life and personality

It is said Shakib like Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein is a southpaw. He is described to be aloof, only because he 'ball ta a'loofey ney'.

Critique

Critics request Shakib for feedback they should publish.
