Does anyone know why Kaneria was picked ahead of Tahir.

His party trick of eating an apple through a tennis racket kept the team happy.

Not entirely sure, but looking at like for like records (ie in County Cricket) DK has 307 @ 25.09 compared with 158 @ 27.62.

Because Kaneira is a better bowler.

Debateable. Turns it more, but also serves up more "four" balls and his googly is a lot easier to pick.
In limited overs I'd take Tahir 10/10, but the longer game is harder to call.
I don't think he's a panacea, but I do think Tahir is better than Harris, whose success, such as it is, has actually been pretty impressive for such an obviously limited bowler. He should improve SA, but enough to be the outright #1? Not sure.

Yeah, Parnell had lot of potential as he had pace at such a young age. However, I don't think he has got control of his line and length enough to be a world wrecker plus he rarely gets any swing. Also add injury woes.
He's still young though, he has enough time to learn and become an excellent bowler.

No need for such length. In future, please use the patented Bashing-England-Via-Circular-Thinking-O-Matic:
That's awesome.

Exactly. The Pakistan selectors pick players based on their ability.
