Re: Re: JUst like I said!

Imran Nazir is back, Saqlain out.

Another failure recalled, Pak cricket selectors said that one shouldn't panick, but they are actually panicking.


Come to think it would have been better had Pak called back Afridi. He can certainly lift up the side when others are down, can bowl useful spin and once in a while contribute with bat too.But most importantly, hge is the BEST pak fielder.

he is the BEST pak fielder.

which is not saying much

 

[Raj123]

hmm...nehra in for zaheer.
the wickets could be a bit more greener from now on, so they should probably stick with balaji for now and let nehra get fit completely.

Show Abe, is a piece of chucker, lucky to be in Cricket. Hats off to World batsmen to face ths imitation of a a crciketer

a piece of chucker that chucks chuckers checked by ICC while chucking. Repeat this mantra again and again and you shall discover inner peace and dare I say nirvana

Now I am off, to think about we can stop him being an imitation of a cricketer.. Did you have anyone specific in mind?

kumble's motivation

kumble told the papers that his wife was going to hav a caesarian 1st april...evening, and he wanted to be with his wife when the child was gonna be delivered...but that wud not be possible if the match was a draw, or, if they took too much time to take the wickets...this was his motivation to take those wickets! he was assisted by the pakistani batting line up though!

 

[shankar]

Balaji is a good prospect, but I don't think India should play him in tests yet. He has a few problems with his line. When he's bowling to a right-hander, his outswinger consistently lands way outside off-stump and when he does bowl on the stumps he doesn't move the ball.As a result he rarely looks like taking a wicket.I don't know if it's a problem with his action or something else.If he can sort this out he will be a far better bowler.

 

[Raj123]

but there is no one else to play with though

 

[shankar]

but there is no one else to play with though

That's true(if Nehra isn't fit). In that case he should be used as a stock bowler while the others attack from the other end.

 

[ReallyCrazy]

I agree. Even though i support balaji, I dont think he's a good bowler for test matches. He doesn't cause the batters much trouble and is not attacking enough. In ODIs he can be a good bowler in the latter stage of an innings.

If Balaji doesn't play and Zaheer is injured, then AA and who would come in?

Nehra's been sent as replacement for Zaheer along with Kaif for Ganguly.

 

[Armadillo]

And i believe very strongly that this **** side will get only humiliation.

The song that you mentioned, when it was first released in 96, Jadeja destroyed Pak team back then.Now its time for Sehwag and co to expose the so called "Rawalpindi Rickshaw" and others

.

Mate get a four wheeler, your rickshaw makes lots of noice ,a lot of huff and puff but no results.

Just shut up, honestly the indians on these forums (bar one or two) just make me sick, especially ajaarajkdka;f; and if shoaib is so crap then how come http://www.cricket.pwcglobal.com/cricket/cricket.htm

 

[Sehwag309]

I sincerely apologize for the shoaib comment, it was my stupid younger cuz brother who was fooling around. I will edit it immediately

 

[Anil]

Check out this article...it seems inzy asked for the grass to be shaven from the wicket and is now disclaiming all responsibility....

What's that mean in English then?

You're keeping us all in suspense. It's an English-speaking forum for a reason ie the mods can't cope with a second language .

well said :duh:

That maybe so, but he has been in some good form this season with four FC 100s. Not bad going...

Look, there are certain things which can be said and certain things which cannot because of misinterpretation - and this is most definitely one of them.

For shame. To come out and insinuate that the Cricket Web mods cannot cope with a second language is quite appalling.

<quack> Hear hear. Well spoken Lucky Eddie.

Why, thanks DD.

<quack> Not at all. They cannot cope with a first.

The only real problem is that he does not have too many wicket-taking deliveries. If he tries new deliveries that make the batsman play, he will get more wickets. His batting is quite good and given enough practice, will add balance to the team. Perhaps Srinath or some other coach can help him there. You can play him as a reserve bowling all-rounder (of some sort), but I'd still pick a specialist like Nehra, but not so specialised, that he can't bat or field.

I think he can pick wickets if only he can get that outswinger on line coz he has a good off-cutter as variation.His action needs a bit of tweaking.
About Nehra but I remember him fielding with a lot of commitment in the 2 ODI's he played. I think he's working on it.
