Shami is also nowhere near as good as Junaid Khan. I'd also take the big tall **** over him as well.
Shami has more tools then Junaid atleast with the new ball the only thing Shami has going against him is that he is an Indian fast bowler who have a history of going southwards after showing early promise. Irfan unfortunatley does not have the age or fitness to forge a career of any decent length.

Not entirely certain Shami has more tools than Junaid tbh
Shami is just a ***ier bowler to watch because he moves it more in the air I think. Junaid is predominantly a seam bowler which is historically unPakistani and also less impressive to watch, but I'd back him to be more effective than Shami at the moment.

Don't know what's wrong with him, but he has stopped swinging and seaming the ball. :huh: :(

Lol two specialist bowlers who are going to be useless at the death who also don't bowl with good pace. Abdv is going to murder us in the last 10 overs and get a 100 here. You just know it.
Close enough.

And people actually compare Rohit with Tendulkar & Laxman, who both played Steyn (and his outswingers) rather well last time around.

Maybe only because he's not good enough to edge any of the balls (The only reason why I sometimes don't like cricket as much)
Nah this just shows you don't fully understand the cricket you watch. Rohit's done well to not follow the ball with his hands when it moves away; it looks bad but it's good technique against this sort of bowling. If Steyn wants to actually get him out now then he's going to need to pitch it up further, which will give Rohit a chance to counter-attack if Steyn doesn't execute perfectly.

Been a sensational half hour to watch. So much fun seeing our young guns go up against this attack. :D
Wish it'd been Philander instead if tsotsobe...
