Is Mohd Sami a love child of Imraan

[Xuhaib]

We know Imraan had a great knack for spotting talents but in case of Sami he has gone overboard, every time he is on T.V he talks about the unlimited potential of Mohd Sami and how the captain Inzi and coach Bob Woolmer has mishandled this "next Malcom Marshal". Jesus Christ!!! Imraan this guy has played around 30 test matches and has an average of around 50 and anybody who has decent amount of knowledge for the game knows Sami is just a skiddy bowler who bowls at a decent pace and gets no movement whatsoever and is erratic most of the times.

Rant over.

May be Mohammad Sami (the pimp) has promised Inzamam of a hot blonde,each time he gets selected because of the undeserved phrases of appreciation about himby one of the greatests of the game.

If he is, he hasn't inherited his old man's looks or talent.

I believe the love child theory. That's the only logical explanation for Imran's unwavering support of Sami.

Well sami has alot of talent no doubt, but the problem with him is his inconsistentcy, hes probably the most inconsistent player i have seen, even more than afridi......the reason i think Imran likes him is becuase hes got pace and has a very nice and smooth action, its pretty obvious that he can become our premium strike bowler but for some unknown reason his performance is on the low side as well as him confidence.

Well how long should the PCB give Sami to realize these potentials? I think he's been given more than enough time to prove himself and has been a disaster. Imran needs to stop harping on and on about him.

Indeed he is very inconsistent. He differs between bad, and absolutely shocking. Scrapheap for Sami. He's been tried so many times and it's now quite obvious that he just isn't good enough, and never will be.

I agree, i think he shouldnt be considered anymore.....he should play more domestic games and perform with consistentcy before he should be given another chance. All i said in my previous post was the reason behind imrans thinking to play him.

Well not sure about never, but at the moment he isnt good enough and should only pay attention to domestic games.

Sami is the only "weak point" , which makes some lose the logical conversation on any sort of thread ,on any forum and under any circumstances .
Sami and Agarkar are like the Steve Buscemi s of Con Air . They are there in this trade and for no particular reason!

 

[PhoenixFire]

He could be very good, as good if not better than a Brett Lee, because Imran Khan, despite his many flaws does know what he's talking about when it comes to quick bowling.

Sami could be good because he can swing it at 90mph, but lacks consistency big style.

Smooth action and good pace are not the only ingrediants needed in the making of a good pace bowler. Due to his short height Sami dosen't get the extra bounce, his bowling with the new ball is shocking no swing or seam movement although he does get to reverse the old cherry but his control is so bad that he wastes it most of the time.

Absolutely. Nothing to argue about.

missing musharraff in this post though.

He's got a history for it aswell.

Agreed on Sami but I don't see why you should club Agarkar with him!

Agarkar's ODI record in the past 5 years:

2001 (23y 28d) 12 101.2 504 17 4/27 3/26 29.64 4.97 35.7 1 0
2002 (24y 28d) 26 193.2 1021 38 4/32 4/34 26.86 5.28 30.5 2 0
2003 (25y 28d) 14 86.5 399 20 4/37 3/18 19.95 4.59 26.0 1 0
2004 (26y 28d) 13 111.4 570 21 6/42 3/39 27.14 5.10 31.9 0 1
2005 (27y 28d) 16 129.4 672 29 5/44 4/18 23.17 5.18 26.8 1 1
2006 (28y 28d) 19 151.1 657 26 2/22 2/25 25.26 4.34 34.8 0 0

He has been top notch the last 2 years and a crucial part of the ODI team.

Low blow Xuhaib!

...or height or brains

Sami's lack of height is definitely a problem, as is the case with Agarkar, but the extra pace can be put to good use. His Test record is awful, but he's done rather well in ODI's and he's been successful against the Indians, who have a superior batting lineup. Plus, none of the other non-Akhtar and non-Asif bowlers have that kind of pace and power which can run through batting sides cleanly.
