Thought Shami bowled pretty well in SA actually. Looked our best bowler in Joburg but stupid Dhoni inexplicably refused to give him the ball for a 40 over stretch in the 4th innings.

Was pretty bad in England and NZ though.

Well, that went about as well as we could have asked for. Good job Shami.

Now to bat big and bat once, hopefully.

Cricketer Of The Year
He looks a good bowler. Strange that his average is so toilet duck outside India. You would think conditions in Eng, NZ, SA etc would suit him more than some of the dust bowls he bowls on here.
He's a better bowler since his comeback, it's also due to the balance of the team with the overs being distributed more evenly, allowing Shammi to operate at relatively high speeds without tiring out too much.

If Shami can maintain a sub-30 average, I'll be more than happy. Don't think we can expect much more than that TBH. Been good since his WI comeback.
