Not sure how that is a facepalm reaction. Rashid is decent but not great like Yasir Saha or did something that is noticeable that we need to afraid off. He simply said he hope we won't have problem facing him.

It's not like he said he is ordinary like Nafees and Tamim did before
He pretty much did call him ordinary and didn't say "hope."

Rashid may not be some WC spinner, but that doesn't mean you have to call an opponent ordinary or a facsimile in front of mic.

I had read the quotes and the article. I didn't come at a sudden conclusion.

An example of jumping to a conclusion would be to read about a young pacer's 5-0-29-0 figures in a practice match and claiming that he might be better than Rubel.
