Yup...if he always uses his head and playes this way...he can be a quality player

Afridi's bowling is JUST unbelieveable.. I had written him off after the world cup and he's proved that he is still capable of scoring and of course bowling well.

Players like Afridi will always perform well against everyday bread-and-butter bowlers. He was blasting away part-time county players in his last county stint as well. And he always will, no matter how he's performing in the international arena.

Good to see the Pakistani contingent performing well yet againt on the english county circuit.

Azhar Mahmood seems to be doing well with the bat in England!
hes got an average of 38.5

Waqar joins Warwickshire as Bond’s replacement
Wisden CricInfo staff - 21 May 2003

Waqar Younis has joined Warwickshire on a one-year contract as replacement for Shane Bond who has suffered a suspected stress fracture of the back.

Waqar, who has already enjoyed spells in England with Surrey and Glamorgan, did not get off to the best of starts, opting to miss the Frizzell County Championship match against Kent because of general fitness concerns. He hopes to make his debut in a one-dayer against Essex in seven days’ time.

“This will probably be my last season in county cricket but I’m a professional cricketer, I enjoy it and my appetite is there,” Waqar said. "I’ve been training for the last four or five days and things are looking good so I’ll be quite ready to play in the next game. They’re a good bunch here, but I still hope I can make a difference.

“The team here is very talented and if things go well for us I feel we’ve got a real chance of winning something.”

Waqar became available for another spell in county cricket after being sacked as Pakistan’s captain following the team’s early World Cup exit. He was one of eight players left out of the squad for the subsequent Sharjah tournament.
