Re: How much longer do we let Kaneria "develop" into a world class bowler
Qadir had the opportunity to play with a consistent bowling line up. Same goes with Murli and Warne. It is misfortune of Kaneria that he never had the opportunity so far to play with a consistent test bowling attack. Sometimes Shoaib is in, Asif is out, Gul is in others are out. It takes a combination to have a lethal attack. Look up at any game of Qadir you will see in the bowling line names like Imran, Wasim, Qasim, Aqib and Sarfraz. Imran was in there in all of them. Saqlain and Mushtaq had Waqar and Wasim. Same is the case with Warne and Murli. Moreover they became even better under great leadership, from Imran to Steve Waugh, these players had a great captain under them. How many times Kaneria, the only consistent bowler of Pakistan in recent memory, had the same opportunity? Still he has this many wickets.
It is easy to pick apart any bowler, but try to understand the perspective.
