England A in the Duleep Trophy

[Richard]

Mahmood on the other hand may have burst onto the scene a bit, but he is horrible medium pacey.. do England want a Mark Ealham bowlalike opening the bowling for them in test matches?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with medium-fast if you've got the accuracy and the movement. Look at Chaminda. And indeed Pollock.
Anyway, from what everyone keeps going on, it seems Mahmood might be a 90mph-merchant. I'll not make any judgement until I see a Sky game in which he's playing with a speedgun.

I have to say I was impressed and it looked apparent that he would play for England

But so soon?!

 

[Swervy]

Erm.... isn't he up in the faster bowlers league. I have seen him bowl around 145 kmph

oh he definately has quite some pace to him....there has been talk of Mahmood around the Lancashire scene for a bit about his possible international credentials...i would like to see him get some more experience with Lancs before he gets anywhere near the England set up though...maybe in 2005

Nadeem Mailk should have been on the tour

Not at all to do with just having signed for Worcester, I trust?

Anyone fancy working out Kadeer's tour average(s)? Won't take long!

No Malik is High rated anyway also Kadeer average is 30 for 4 day cricket and 9 for one day cricket..... but who cares

Worst Maths Ever:

18.56 is nowhere near 30.

23.56 is nowhere near 9.

[marc71178]

Yes, fair enough.

But still, that Career record is apalling, and makes one wonder how he's even avoided the sack, yet alone made the Academy!

Appalling spelling marc :P

No Malik is High rated

So were Hoggard, Anderson and Harmison.
All have yet to demonstrate Test credentials.
