Mortaza's Batting

[rafiq]

Mortaza should have delivered the goods and put on a 27 run partnership with Aftab on that 3rd morning. The ball was 70+overs old.

I daresay if he comes across Batty or Giles in the 45th over of the one days, he may take 27 in one over...if we get to the 45th over that is!

Best slogger by far is aridi, comapred to flintoff or pieterson.

Thanks for letting us know but i doubt Piterssen played less odi than Mortoza and Flintoff's not passing 96.41 is it ? I would love to see Piterssen having the same strike rate after playing that many odi's what Mortoza played ...... [/quote]

You can't compare Mashrafee with Pitersen and Flintoff! Pietersen is a great batsman and will be better; Flintoff is an awsome allrounder with great ability of hitting boundries. Mashrafee Mortuza is not even considered as an allrounder. His batting technique is terrible and he slogs. Some say that Mortuza can be an allrounder if he works on his batting. The thing is, he is a bowler and the best bowler fast bowler BD have had by far. If you compare him to other world class bowler (McGrath, Pollack, Streak, Harmission etc), he is not considered as a top calss bowler.
So I say forget about batting now, let this guy be a better bowler than he is and than he can work on being an allrounder. One thing for sure he will not be the next Jacques Kallis or Courtney Walsh.

Well on dailstar, Mashrafee just confessed that he was bothered by the short stuff - this is unacceptable. Somebody needs to have him practice against talha and shahadat bowling with hockey balls on astro turf!

Mashrafee didnt played well in the 2 test but Iam sure he will score some fast runs in the ODI.

[cricman]

Mashrafe said he didnt like bouncers and since in ODI there wont be none he was gonna do better

Posting bb's question here..
yes rob.. I am also curious. Did you get some Idea about Masree's batting? Even though he is horrible in tests and defensive batting... he is good for ODI's

I like your observations and always try to look for your posts. Couple of days ago, I read your post about Mashrafee Mortaza's batting. What do you think about his ODI batting today?
