When you have a stop gap career and bat out position (there is at least a slight difference between #3 and 4) you won't develop your game very far.

Soumya has gotten a million chances, and has a decent average from a handful of overseas games. Good for him, but his temperament and shot selection leads to the ONLY logical conclusion that its most likely a fluke.
