Shakib = A more fit Ramesh Powar.

Less weight also means there'll be fewer tremors when the hype dies and he comes crashing down to earth in due course.

Don't embarrass the next big thing by comparing him with a guy who earns his living by eating and bowling pies.

I suppose it is a bit embarassing for Powar, but I don't think Shakib is mediocre enough to deserve that pie tribute.

You misunderstood me I said next big, the Powar lad is already pretty big.

It wasn't a misunderstanding

 

[Athlai]

Better than RTD? Yes IMO.

By the way.....Shakib is now amongst the top 10 ODI bowlers in the ICC's list as well. He is ranked at # 6 while Mashrafe Bin Mortaza is ranked at # 9 !!!!!

I've read a little about this guy and noticed some of his performances. How would you describe his batting and bowling? Is he really that good?

Shakib has bowled to the toughest SA side ever.

AB de Villiers v Graeme Pollock
Neil McKenzie v Barry Richards

Graeme Smith is a worthy comparison to those two imho. AB Dev is a good player of spin. McKenzie is an excellent player of spin.

Have not seen him bowling that much to really comment, but hey his stats are all against top quality teams.

His batting is blessed with the typical Bangladeshi dash and fervour, plus a non-Bangladeshi commitment not to throw his wicket away. Composed yet not afraid to take on guys like Mendis and Murali.
