Kaneria, I remember his debut series against England, when we actually got to see highlights from the winter tours (yes even the ODIs!). He looked accurate but wasn't very potent and didn't really turn the ball a great deal. I've noticed he's mainly played against Bangladesh and has taken a shedload of wickets against them which gives him a very good career record, but I'd give him more time against other opposition before any judgement is passed.

this guys a legspinner to watch! he can spin the ball very well and also has matured and disguises his flippers and googlies superbly, he's the 2nd Hindu to play for Pakistan and I think he's a great find!
He's been a real threat against SA in this test series along with Malik and Shabbir, Personally I think this guy would take bags of wickets for PAK in tests and ODI's, in the 5th ODI against SA he bowled 10 overs, 1 wicket for 37 runs, and that wicket was herschelle gibbs gettin stumped.
i think Kaneria is better than mushy, better action, better spinner, better everythin..

first of all Mushtaq has been one of the best leg spinners of the modern era. If Danish can achive everything mushtaq did, then he would have done good. Mushtaq's performances in England, in Austrailia, in the World Cup have all been memorable. Quite regulary even in presence of the two Ws he used to take the top order wickets. 180 odd wickets in 50 matches is very good for a spinner.
Secondly when I saw Kaneria in the past he looked very ordinary indeed. Miandad also used to praise him a lot but I could not undertsand why. Neither did he have the turn nor did he take wickets. But in this recent series he has been doing very well so hopefully he has turned the corner. All the best to him.

I rate him quite highly
He seems to have all the tricks , a very mature bowler for his age , pretty accurate , dosent turn the ball a massive amount but certainly enough to worry people & he gets some handy dip on the ball.
He's no Shane Warne but aside from the Victorian & Mushie he's probably the best leggie on the planet ATM , Kumble is better on the subcontinent but nowhere else.

Looking up Kaneria on Cricinfo, I saw that he's been signed as the 2nd overseas player for Essex next season since Andy Flower is now considered a domestic player due to his English passport. Essex's overseas players next season will be Zimbabwean-born Scott Brant who didn't exactly set the world alight last season and Kaneria, 2 quite unproven young players. I don't see Kaneria as a risk in the Collins Obuya category, but since the only reason his Test average is below 30 is because he took 34 wickets in 5 Tests against Bangladesh...

I think Danish will be valuable for Kent, however PCB will be well adviced not to play Danish in Pak team against India as Indian batters will make a mockery of him. For Pak the best bet(as far as spinner is concerned) would be to have Saqlain in the team in the series against India!

Depends on the pitches.
Virender Sehwag made a point the Indian authorities seemed oblivious to; spinning pitches would serve India best.
However, if we get the sort of surfaces we had for the recent NZ series, Pakistan and India would do best to pick 11 batsmen including a wicketkeeper - because a result ain't on the cards! The only use for pitches like that is to stack-up batsman's averages, so you might as well give as many as possible the opportunity, and leave bowlers' figures from being damaged.
