2nd T20 Pakistan vs South Africa 15th November 2013

Re: 2nd T20 Pakistan vs South Africa 15th November 2013

A leg spinner’s stock delivery (leg-spin) moves away from a right-handed batsman i.e. spins from leg to off. A googly spins the other way, from off to leg, into a right-handed batsman.

A player of Razzaq’s experience should have known better. He should have been ready for the googly.

Razzaq played for the leg spin and Tahir outthought and outfoxed him with a googly

Razzaq’s priceless reaction

It is clear that our pathetic clueless selectors cannot see beyond regional biases or favouritism

I quite like Shoaib’s idea that PCB should ask (say 8-10) ex-greats to identify 2-3 talented players each, work on them and nurture their craft. This would give us a pool of 20-30 players from which a squad can be easily picked for test, ODI and T20 cricket. Put the onus on ex-players (rather than the selectors) to deliver!

I think the national coach should be given the responsibility to scout and select the national squad + the assistant coaches/strategists/management for a given tour...so the failures or successes could easily be credited/discredited to a single entity...each format should have appropriat crickters/coaches etc...believe in one god...so believe in one coach... :)

PS: The National Coach can be titled as Field Marshall... :D

BTW pl. give razzak some more chance. I feel though he was rusty , he was looking on the way towards clean hitting in the first T20.
