you should be concerned about the elbow straightening, not bendingWould rather be punched by Ashwin or Shakib. Their bent elbows would probably mean it would hurt a lot less.
He is Lil short of neurons, don't worry.you should be concerned about the elbow straightening, not bending

He is probably better than our first spinner as well.We all know how gun AshWIN and Ben Chokes are, but people sleep on how good Shakib is.
Shakib would walk into any test side in the world ATM. Better than Ali/Rashid, better than Mishra/Jayant/Nohit, better than O Keefe/Lyon/MMarsh, better than Craig/Santner/Sodhi, better than anyone the West Indies or Zimbabwe have, better than any of the second-spinners Sri Lanka or Pakistan have, better than Maharaj/Shamsi. Literally makes any Test XI in the worl
Haha that was posted back when Herath was still playing I think? Has only become more true with time.He is probably better than our first spinner as well.
If I am not mistaken, Mushtaq did it twice against WI. That is some feat.Bumping another thread because why not.

That also means he has a heap of crap performances too.What i find mind boggling is that Botham had 10 + five fors and 10+ hundreds. Thats ridiculous. Yes he played 100 odd tests but that's crazy.
