Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

Just read report that Arshad Khan will be joining the team in Sri Lanka for the test series.

What was the point in taking the other spiners? Lying on the beach? I thought they are building for the world cup and wanted to give new players some experience.

WHAT? You have got to be kidding me! ARSHAD KHAN OF ALL PEOPLE? Oh, shoot me. Shoot me right now.

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

Well:

- It has also been decided that Tahir Khan and Abdur Rehman will be returning to Pakistan after the conclusion of the One Day International Series.

So we managed to pay extra for a few "potentials" who were solely drafted into the team just for them to have the "dressing room" experience. How convenient.

You know, just call back Sami and get it over with. I don't want to have another heart attack in the middle of the series after they will decide to replace another God-knows-who "potential".

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

hey.. we needed two young waterboys to bring out drinks for teammates.. this service had to be performed efficiently and quickly.. warna humaray players didnt’ get enough time to finish the drinks..

Job well done Tahir Khan and Abdur Rehman .. you have made the nation proud! :jhanda:

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

u really dont think that we'd try inexperienced spinners against SL or India do u????
these teams r good players of spin and u simply cant rely on debutants to tackle their batsmen....

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

ab Mid-Tour PCB ko yeh baat yaad aee kya ? :smack:

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

I am sure you are the happiest person right now, knowing that Arshad Khan is joining the squad:D

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

chalo phir Salman Butt ko bhee wapis bhej do aur us ki jaga Mohammed Hafeez ko bhejo opening ke liye, Mohammad Asif ko wapis bhejo taake Mohammed Sami bowling karwa sakay, good job PCB :Salute:

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

Oh right. We will actually wait an eternity to blood the new debutants when we meet the likes of Canada and Hong Kong in the World Cup. That should be just about the right time for them to also get the "dressing room" experience.

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

You sound as passive as Inzi can be! :hoonh:

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

Well, I think we should have given either Tahir Khan or Abdur Rahman atleast one test match to just check how they fare in the international arena. I am not sure why PCB took them for the ODIs when we really didn't need them. In my view, they can be more handy in test cricket than in ODIs. Oh well, must have been a nice sight seeing for them but goodluck to Arshad taya....

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

Can someone from Pakistan please tell me are there no better alternatives than Arshad Khan. I don't belive that Arshad Khan is the best spinner in Pakistan.

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

what do u mean? can u elaborate what u r trying to ask me?

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

omg arshad cant even spin the ball, to be honest i think I am as good as him in off-spin bowling despite being a legspinner myself, in fact I spin the ball, which is sumthing he has trouble doing despite being a spinner.

Re: Arshad Khan to join squad in Sri Lanka

well forget Arshad Khan ... i think M. Hafeez is also knoocking on the doors :) he has scored five 50s in last 7 matches(domestic) with an avg. of 59. :)
