i have always rooted for BD (except when playing us) but i wonder how you praise them and simply slam the zimbos when:

saqibul has earned his figures against zim and kenya (with a 67* against SL - and a 0 vs. WI)
shahriar has played kenya and zim exactly half his 28 matches and tho' hit a good couple of innings initially v. OZ has no innings of note really and remains with a lower ave than chibhabha, taylor ...(who've played more against better opposition)
mortaza can be compared to our main three bowlers (m'pariwa, ireland and rainsford) 'cos he's played a lot v the rest.

ashrafal and ahmed look the goods to me - i'd give 'em a job anytime

i hope they do consolidate and become more consisitent too!!
