Shakib is now ranked the number one all rounder in ODIs

[_Ed_]

Against top 8 teams.

His batting average drops to 27.19 and bowling average is 43.65.

Not quite in the same league as the best, but I suppose not too bad! He's definitely a promising young talent, and possibly Bangladesh's best player.

I'd expect that bowling average to come down, every time I've watched him it's looked to me like he's a better bowler than batsman (but very good with the bat too).

Good performance by Shakib.

 

[Precambrian]

Yes Susudear

LOL at Edmunds btw

**** off.

 

[Precambrian]

Point noted. Anything else?

Yep. Stick to the topic.

 

[Arjun]

Strange list. We find Shoaib Malik, Yuvraj Singh and Paul Collingwood in this list, which raises a question mark over it.

 

[Flem274*]

**** off.

Did I hit a nerve? Or perhaps several?

 

[Xuhaib]

Shakib to score 2000+ and take 200+ I reckon.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

 

[Xuhaib]

Strange list. We find Shoaib Malik, Yuvraj Singh and Paul Collingwood in this list, which raises a question mark over it.

Shoaib Malik did a lot of minnow bashing with the ball last year.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Quite? Expected more gushing from someone whose location was Shakib's bed.

 

[Flem274*]

Well he's got the opportunity and as a spinner in the subcontinent, the conditions to get those wickets.

 

[Craig]

No Sachin

Time for some attention seeking Indian newspaper/channel to start their bitching.

 

[Flem274*]

Think people are missing Xuhaibs point.

 

[_Ed_]

The list does seem quite batting-oriented. Surprised someone like Vettori isn't on the list for example, top bowler and really useful contributions with the bat.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Think people are missing Xuhaibs point.

Think you'll find that if it possessed any semblance of a valid point, said articles protesting the all rounder rankings on supposed basis would exist, instead of, you know, not existing?

 

[pup11]

Yeah i think the rankings are fair enough, Shakib has been one of the most consistent performers among all the all-rounders in the world and deserves all the accolades coming his way, but seriously gutted that Watto isn't there in the all-rounders list.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

In ODI's?
He hardly even gets a chance to bat.

Innings by innings - Last 12 months

 

[_Ed_]

True, but I think there are as many meaningful contributions there with the bat as someone like Yuvraj had with the ball in the last 12 months.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Let Vettori dismiss Pietersen 5 times, then we'll talk

 

[Julian87]

I take it Symonds is not on that list because of a lack of one dayers in the past year? He'd be the first batting all rounder I'd pick in world one day cricket.
