Yep. Christian's must the same in limited overs cricket himself, but he (Christian) basically plays as a bowler who can add useful runs from #8 in First Class cricket days. Both are a bit odd in that a lot of people have misconceptions over what their primary skills are.

BoyBrumby · 01-05-2010, 12:49 PM

Razzak for the last over? Really? Shakib still an interesting captain.

EDIT: Suppose 8 off it something of a minor triumph.

Highlight so far has been Waqar's magic Pakistani/Ocker fusion accent.

172 in the end, very few boundaries at the end but still that is a very imposing total.

19.1 Abdur Razzak to Abdul Razzaq

finally got to witness this

Xuhaib · 01-05-2010, 12:55 PM

172 should be enough.

was a dire watch apart from Salman Butt's knock.

King Pietersen · 01-05-2010, 01:15 PM

Shot Tamim! Bangladesh almost entirely reliant on Tamim making a huge score. Hopefully he delivers; will certainly be entertaining if he does fire.

Smith interests the selectors because he has the potential to be the spinner Oz is looking for since Warne retired and is only 20/21

However, whilst he's learning how to bowl (and he looks like he has all the potential in the world), he's also scored runs for fun and is a genius in the field

IMO, he could easily bat 6/7 but shouldnt be trusted to bowl 4 overs every game - the selectors take a different view

Christian, on the other hand, is a slightly worse version of James Hopes

I'd pick Smith because the kid may well win games for you

BoyBrumby · 01-05-2010, 01:47 PM

Jeez. Pies from Razzaq. Length at his pace is terminal in 2020.

BoyBrumby · 01-05-2010, 01:49 PM

Ajmal's been on report for chucking before, hasn't he? Christ it looks an ordinary action.

BoyBrumby · 01-05-2010, 01:59 PM

Ashraful looks in top nick here. 50 up off 38. Still have my money on Pakistan, but with him and Shakib there....

Pothas · 01-05-2010, 02:01 PM

Yeah nice reminder by Ashraful of why he has dissapointed so many people, lovely 6 of Afridi last over.
