Harbhajan Singh and Mal Loye for Lancashire in 2003

[lord_of_darkness]

Warnes a better batsmen than Harbajan but wouldnt go as far as going to call harbajan a good allrounder , he can chip in the odd time...

He will need all the experience he can get , hopefully its a good move

Who are the other Indians transferring to English teams?

 

[V Reddy]

Rahul Dravid( Scotland) Sehwag (Leics) Anil ( dont know for which county but i heard that he is playing)

 

[V Reddy]

Rahul Dravid( Scotland) Sehwag (Leics) Anil ( dont know for which county but i heard that he is playing) Sehwag will be the most succesful i think and he is a very good bowler now

 

[Neil Pickup]

Is Sehwag definitely playing next season?

As far as I was aware, it was still at the rumour stage, but if it's confirmed

Please play Notts v Leics at Cleethorpes...

Kumble's rumoured to be coming to Edgbaston - Sehwag is still a rumour AFAIK, but I'm not so sure he'll be a great success.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

yea depends if hes in a form that he normally is in , think the english fans are in for a treat , but he should play better against the county bowlers ?

 

[masterblaster]

Yeah Harbhajan averages like 19-21 in FC, something along those lines, and his batting is getting steadily better, so against County bowling, he should be able to notch up a couple of decent scores, and against County batting, he should be able to get a bag of wickets.

Harbhajan has destroyed Australia, England, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in the past, I dont see why he cannot do the same to the other counties.

Wow, Stuart Law and Harbhajan Singh for Lancashire, a great duo.

For Hampshire I wish it was Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar

 

[Bazza]

Well Tendulkar was mentioned but I don't think he is coming at all. Warne is already signed up but haven't heard much mention recently of who the other might be?

If we could get a classy batsman to fill in the middle order with Crawley and Kendall to go with a well balanced bowling attack including Warne, Mullally, Giddins, Morris, Mascarenhas, Udal, etc we could really do some damage this year.

I don't think the conditions will be to his liking - Murali managed to beat them, but he seems to be able to bowl well anywhere when fully fit - at this stage in his career, I don't think Harb can.

Yup hes going through a bad patch but hes been doing quite well so cant blame him for having his bad times , anyway doesnt mean he will continue the same in England , well hopefully not
He is fit though

He wasn't an all-rounder, he was a bowler who could bat reasonably.

Well thats what we call All rounder nowadays dont we, there is a topic here which tells u that Shane Warne is one of the top all rounders too

Also, I don't remember him captaining Lancashire?

He has played county cricket for Lancashire since 1988, and in September 1998 captained the team to victory in the Natwest Trophy and helped them clinch the AXA League title.

That topic is ridiculing the idea of the PWC all rounder rankings, by having Shane up at 4.

marc whats the address to the PWC ratings webpage thanks ?
