How exactly is that dancing around? You want me give you an estimate average without knowing exact number of matches we will play!! Come on, cut out the being clever act!
And again how is that contradicting myself when it comes to Shan selection? That's not me contradicting myself at all, infact it proves that Shan wasn't selected because of his connections through his father, had to at been the case he would have been a permanent member of the side for last 10 years! So I hope now people will stop calling him parchi and sifarishi!
You claimed that the PCB Board of Directors' incompetency was the reason for Shan Masood's failures. However, his father being part of the Board contradicts your claim, because you are implying that his father is incompetent (which indirectly implies Shan the batsman as well). But your original argument was that Shan is an excellent batsman.
I asked multiple times for you to estimate the average, but you just danced around and not gave an answer. I already said you to assume 8 Test matches a year, but still you did not comply. One big part of cricketing discourse is the discussion of mathematics and intricate statistics of rich data points this sport has. Not willing to discuss averages (accumulative, progressive, year-by-year) of players is quite illogical because statistics is an integral part of the cricket analytical discussion. Throwing a number out is not hard, it doesn't require much skill or crunching of mathematical models.
According to studies in many fields, there are some mantras or theorems taught:
Psychology says that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
Statistics use mathematical data from past and current trends to predict the future.
As far as subject matter is concerned. Shan Masood's average has been on a steep decline since his century @ the Old Trafford in 2020—He averaged 34 then. Now after 13 innings that average has plunged to 28. This completely puts rest to your statement: "His average is only going one way, which is up!!".
I never called him parchi or sifarishi, that is just your thinking. Maybe the reason why he hasn't been a permanent member of the Test side was the he has the most Ducks as Pakistani Test Opener (7 Ducks in 53 Innings) after Mohammad Hafeez (8 Ducks in 105 Innings). And apparently you think that he would have 30 Centuries if he was "permanent member" of the Test side. And you want him to play for an another 10 years. Can you please justify your thinking?
