Not sure England were ever particularly interested were we?PEWS cheeky bastard.
yeah got sucked in by the hype tbh thought he must have genuinley improved out of sight if both SA and England were gunning for him.His WC 11 showing may also have helped.
He's been a bit funny with his opinion on Tahir though:
I mean he obviously has every right to change his mind but equally I don't think we should be giving him too much credit for something he went back on entirely.

Love rubbish leggies? Tune in Day 2 and 3 of the Sri Lanka V New Zealand test, you'll get your fix.Tahir = the new Bryce McGain
Who can forget his one Test vs SA?
18-2-149-0
Got to love comedy rubbish leggies
weren't you advocating for tastle during the last test?
Yep. Doesn't mean he'll be decent though
Was a gun before he did his shoulder.
we all have our flaws
Jono will never call me **** we share the Kohli love though Jono always gets the chance to blow him first
The bench must be so conflicted. A Victorian but with Danish connexions.
Yeah, never ever thought he'd looked test class to be honest. Just cannot fathom how he took that many wickets across the world in FC cricket while not being able to use basic components of spin bowling like drift and flight. Leg spin is one of the hardest skills in cricket to master so its hard to be particularly scornful against him, but one is frequently drawn back to the slow amble to the crease of Ian Salisbury followed by the familiar deluge of tommyrot when watching Imran Tahir bowl.Well, in fairness to tec, he was in the team when SA got to #1.
Think Tahir is proof that bullying tailenders with your one decent weapon (a well disguised googly) will only get you so far.
Be interesting if anyone CBA to work it out what percentage of his FC wickets are from numbers 8-11.
He does not want to play test cricket sadly. Also so much West Indies test cricket clashes with a big domestic t20 competition where he gets paid big money for. e.g Big Bash on same time as the West Indies tour of Australia and their summer test series normally clashes with the IPL. Its the same with Gayle and Pollard unfortunately.
Cynically I think this is one of the reasons they made him captain. Probably not the biggest reason but I'm sure it factored in given they had no good candidates at all.
