So ss is predicted big things in this World, is he?
Nah, the status=wtf just tickled my funny bone. Not that I'd be surprised if SS did make it big in some way.
Serious thing first now !

I read a statement of Abdul Qadir who advocated inclusion of Rehman in place of Danish saying that rehman was better with the ball, bat and as a fielder than Danish.
I think Danish will play first matcha gainst the WI (as Afridi) will miss it, and if Danish gets hammered like he always does then it might be his last match of WC, and after that he can say goodbuy to OD cricket and stop whining and behaving like a victim.
If my memory serves me right, the selectors clearly wanted to give a more deserving all round leggie in Mansoor Amjad a chance in OD cricket, it was none other than Inzi who stood against it as he thought that Danish would feel insecure.Inzamam has all along been a die hard supporter of Danish, its just that Danish always came up with nightmarish figures in OD matches otherwise he would have been in the team.
Kudus to Indian selectors for giving young blood a chance, guys like Ramesh Powar,UThapa, Chawla & Raina were tried and most of them were a success.In contrast Pakistan never give exposure to its emerging players and kept faith of tried and tested failed one's.Under 19 WC heroes like Anwar Ali and Jamshed were never tried, they surely wouldn't have done worse than Mohd Sami. Mansoor Amjad and Shahid Yousuf are two other cricketers that should have been given a chance at international level
I was searching for the Kaneria related threads because I hate these "underrated" titled threads . But seriously don't Pakistanis need him now in the ODI squad ?
Kaneria is rubbish.

Just re-read this thread, had forgotten it was the one that had given us the greatest quote (in a genuine sentence rather than a single letter) of CW history.

Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul, Shoaib Akhtar. I'd say he was their 4th best bowler at the moment (not too sure about the injury status on these players, but as far as I know they are all fit and healthy).
Averaging almost 34 over an entire Test career is poor, especially considering that figure jumps to 37.09 when you exclude the cheap wickets he has taken against Bangladesh. He doesn't bring much else to the field either, as his batting and fielding are poor too.
What's more, when you consider that early in his career he showed promise, and indeed delivered in a variety of different circumstances, he has been hugely, hugely disappointing in doing virtually nothing of note of late.
The same flaws that were apparent that needed to be eradicated have never gone away: lack of patience (despite good skills with accuracy that have been demonstrated often enough) and lack of a sufficiently large-wripped Leg-Break. His Googly remains the best in the business, but when the standard Leg-Break turns so little, even on dry surfaces, this is seldom of use.
Obviously, Pakistan's catching is never going to be helpful. But I am fast losing hope of him emulating even the relatively fleeting success of Mushtaq Ahmed, never mind being the superior I had once hoped from him.
He can't even crack Tests at the moment, FRAZ dude.
