Yeah, find myself agreeing with you here. Why the hell would you have him bowl at the death if hes almost perfectly suited to bowling with the new ball. I mean, even if he did improve at the death I'd only bowl him at the death as a last resort because hes just that much more effective than most other bowlers in the overs before the death. Plus we have other good death bowlers like Gul so I don't see why we'd need to use Asif at that time.
Hope that doesn't mean you're reluctant to.
Nah, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.Hope that doesn't mean you're reluctant to.
Not too sure, Razzaq's batting is terribly under-rated and I haven't seen much to suggest that Arafat can match it. His bowling is better and fielding is far superior.
Hush hush, eye2eye.Tu Shey.
Razzaq is just a medium-pace basher, teams have figured this out now and its just a matter of time when his late order hitting would turn in to a non entity.
No worries mate if people from Norh West Frontier (Pathans) of Pakistan were to pronounce this word it would come out somewhat like the way u spelled.
Thats why hes easily our most consistent late order hitter and comes off much more often than guys like Afridi. You don't hit McGrath for 20 in an over by being a "medium-pace basher". I'd say when his late order hitting declines we should look for someone else but as of right now hes our best.
i remember that,
Yeah, Razzaq when he gets in the mood (especially when he's playing England at Karachi) is probably the most phenominal late-innings hitter you'll see.
