I would choose Razzaq. He is consistent. Afridi has scored no points whatsoever in 60% of his games. In another 20%, his score was dismal. While he had one stellar game, that appears to be an anomaly. It is much more likely that he will contribute nothing. If he does score very well, the game is likely won. However, a game wins by 1 point. Scoring 100 points against an opponent who scores 35 is no better than scoring 36 points. Razzaq has scored more than 20 in 80% of his games. It is almost assured that he will strongly contribute to the team. \n" ); document.write( "
