very hard to see.
hope that the table changes slightly in the future

[t697318]

your point, besides cook is a much more consistant player than ash?

[nycpro96]

WOW! Thats explains so much.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Meh.

[Spitfire_x86]

Ash's best year = Cook's worst year. End of the story.

[nahaz]

Try comparing him with Pakistanis, like Salman Butt..he's regarded as one of their more talented players.

[Fazal]

What's the point?

I guess to make sure ASH is cooked "well done"...cooked all way around.

[Zeeshan]

Looking at the thread title, at first I thought this thread is gonna be Ash and culinary arts after his conquering the music world.

Disappointed mijan bhai. Red arrows for you. :P

[al Furqaan]

the same can be done with any of our players and any first XI man from the top 6-7 teams. the worst top 7 batsmen from legit sides still average around 35. your brenden macullums, your mark bouchers, your brendan nash's.

our best test bat of recent times is mushy and he averages a *mere* 37 over the past 15 months.

that alone tells the story.

nonetheless, we have at times fought tooth and nail against the likes of SL, SA, NZ at home and this is why we get excited and continue to follow a team of 25 averages.

[PoorFan]

If you Cook ... you will have Ash ... whats new?!?

[BANFAN]

Cook has a recorded national cricketing history & culture of almost 200 years. Ash has 10 years. Lets make such comparison of BD/Eng youngstars atleast after 25 more years.

Surprisingly, I found Ash quiet competitive, as a BD player By god, 5 centuries, Neck to neck HS in similar number of matches, Even thought of it, could cause nightmares for any BD cricketer 10 years back.

Well done Ash and hope the Next generation will make us more competitive & proud.

[godzilla]

why are we comparing ash with cook? again behind ash's a**!!

BTW did anyone ever realise that a lot of english players have the weirdest last name ... Cook is for one ... the funniest i heard so far would be SIDEBOTTOM HAHA (hope i spelled it right)!! i mean honestly what where they looking at when naming him lolz

Bet you never heard of some of the Indian (even Bengali in that case) names.

Banowari, JhunjhunWala, TyreWala, GongePaadDhey (not the right spelling, but sounds almost similar), BandePaadDhey, MukhePaadDhey...

[BD-Shardul]

কুকের সাথে আশাফুলের তুলনা, আশরাফুলেকে কি পাইছেন মিয়া ভাই? Ash can stroll with Katrina, can Cook do so?

If this is the best defense for all Jalals then .....

At least we can no longer hide behind his nadan age.

Why is Godzila burning? Is it because Ash's fat a** occupying the most important slot in the national team?
+++
Wow t697318, how did you know I had other agendas? Genius indeed.
+++
Z, this thread shows that Ash can never become a Chef. It is all about food.

Nice one P. Mukhepaaddaiy, lol.

[bujhee kom]

Ash is a man and Cook is a guy! If Ash wanted to Ash could cook Cook and eat him with kacha morich and dhoniya!

So you meant arm-pit not geography. Make a movie on Ash, it will sell like hot cake.
