The Shakib Al Hasan appreciation thread

talk is cheap

None of you went and saw the original and best of all time last summer,

the one, the only, the great Jacques Henry Kallis

5/62 in the 1st innings against India. Watch out NZ.

 

[hineyrulz]

Gun.

Bangladesh did well in their last test against India. I would like to see them take a game off us in the ODI series.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

He absolutely sucks balls in New Zealand lol

 

[Ridders]

Even the great ones have off days.

 

[JJ]

he's having a few!

 

[Ridders]

Nice performance by Shakib.

36 with the bat and 4/33 from 10 overs with the ball.

 

[JJ]

about time to be honest, but I think we expected more... Vetorri has been better

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Very happy I put the reverse mockers on him, some lovely bowling last night

 

[Iafeta]

Approaching his maiden test ton here. Good cricketer.

 

[Ridders]

What a man.

 

[TheParraboy]

Do they have the Allan Border Medal in Bangladesh?

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Could have had two centuries for the match if not for cheating merkin McCullum.

Nice direct hit run-out too.

If Bangladesh had the Allan Border medal it would be called the Shakib Al Hasan medal anyway lol.

 

[hineyrulz]

Future superstar of world cricket.

 

[TheParraboy]

If Bangladesh had the Allan Border medal it would be called the Shakib Al Hasan medal anyway lol.

Fair call Manu

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Shakib

 

[African Monkey]

What a performance from the man yesterday. This comes after guiding Worcestershire back into division 1 of the county championship.

 

[TheParraboy]

I was very tempted to put Shakib in my CricInfo alltime World XI.

Ive lost some sleep leaving him out tbh..

 

[JJ]

Shakib

I find your man-lub for him disconcerting, given your (correct) criticisms of Vetorri...

He's a decent cricketer, but not sure I see much beyond that
