No, they're bad because he didn't bowl many good spells in that period. The West Indies innings was just an extension, not an anomaly.Nnanden said:the only reason his stats are so bad (from your link) is because of that one bowling innings against the Windies!!
Mortaza was looking really, really good before his injury but we've seen what that sort of thing can do to players before.Rafique is a legend, Rana and Haque look pretty good, and I seriously rate Mortaza. He generates good pace and bounce and occasionally some movement. I hope he stands up (though India are in amazing touch...).
I'm going to wait and see how he bowls before assuming it hasn't taken it's toll.
