Re: Inzamam given option of four openers for England
I think Sajid Mahmood is a decent bowler. I mean, there are better bowlers on their team (Flintoff and Harmison come to mind), but you can't "blame" everything on the English conditions.
Yes, the conditions are exceptionally favourable for seamers, but there's more to getting wickets than just the good conditions in England. Although I would love to see Mohammad Sami back to his 'old' self again, realistically it has not much to do with a "slump"... I think (as mentioned above), it has a lot to do with his attitude towards the selection and team.
For him to perform well, he needs to go in with the mentality that he earned the selection and not the other way around (i.e. the pcb "earned" by selecting Sami).
I kinda hope he gets selected though... I know majority of pakistan cricket fans have been itching to see him back in his ruthless form. Also, It'd be interesting how Taufeeq Umar plays , considering he's selected...
He seems pretty legit.
