Re: Imran Tahir
Imran Tahir is the epitome of a journeyman cricketer. **In fact, he has barely stopped moving. Since starting his first-class career in 1996-97 he was racked up at least 10 teams ranging from Lahore to Yorkshire via the Titans in South Africa. **That he has never remained anywhere for very long suggests a cricketer who has failed to live up to his potential, but his first-class record is impressive with a fine average and imposing strike-rate. His one-day figures stand up to scrutiny as well. He has had stints with three English counties; Middlesex, Yorkshire and Hampshire, who he signed for in 2008.

Given the circumstances in our high-profile team selection process, he would have been wasted. I mean, would he have been selected in place of Danish Kaneria? I say he would have, had selectors given a chance to someone other than Kaneria (Abdul Rehman was a successful, but short example). But you have to earn your bread somewhere and if South Africa are or will be giving him a chance to be a part of the team (the pair of Johan Botha and Tahir), all praises to him for taking this decision and joining overseas.
Being a Muslim, I will do as I am told in Islam that wherever I will get to play, I will try to give my best for them and do something special for them," he said.
Highlighted, given the fact that many choose not to side with someone and therefore dismiss the cricketer as being Pakistani who joins a team with a separate allegiance (IPL etc).
Will be interesting to to follow Imran Tahir’s performance in the ongoing 3 day game against Australia. He is playing for the SA Board President’s 11.
