Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
Incredible start for Rana Naveed and not a bad start by Asif at all. Hope they both are in devestating form come the England tour.
Why do we fear for our batsmen that much? They have had a great time there during last tours? Hopefully they will this time too.

He’s British and might be a British who wants to get into the English team

^ mohammad akram has played for pak internatinal cricket team…
he got the ball to swing a lot, but often the swing was out of his control and either the ball was called wide or swung too much too late that the keeper cud not gather it…
was soon dropped and then got a chance in county cricket…
he has been doing good in county so far…
read more about him here…
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
^ He also played for Shekhupura as one of his major teams but that does not show i his record. Look at his batting average of 2.06 in 9 test matches and he used to say that I am a good enough batsman as I used to open for my club :D
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
A batsman would love to take Muhammad Akram's International bowling average as his batting avg. anytime :)

Mushtaq and Read in angry clash
Mushtaq Ahmed and Chris Read clashed angrily on Wednesday during the match between Sussex and Nottinghamshire.
The pair became involved in an argument after Mushtaq dismissed Read, with the Notts keeper thought to be unhappy at Mushtaq over an earlier failed appeal.
BBC Radio Nottinghamshire’s Robin Chipperfield understands there will be a meeting between the players, captains and umpires after the close of play.
Notts coach Mick Newell insisted there was no scuffle, just verbal exchanges.
The incident happened after Chris Read had left the field of play following his dismissal. He then left the dressing-room, walked down a flight of stairs and exchanged angry words with Mushtaq who was fielding on the boundary’s edge.
Sussex captain Chris Adams then got involved, leaving the field and entering the Notts dressing room, where he spoke to Read.
But suggestions that there may have been a physical confrontation have been played down by both sides.
Read was Mushtaq’s third wicket of the day, the Pakistani spinner having earlier dismissed Jason Gallian for 19 and Graeme Swann for 37. All three batsmen were trapped lbw.

READ SORRY AFTER MUSHTAQ CLASH
By Mike McGrath, PA Sport
Nottinghamshire wicketkeeper Chris Read has apologised for his confrontation with Sussex spinner Mushtaq Ahmed during the second day of the Liverpool Victoria County Championship clash at Hove.
Read was dismissed by Mushtaq but appeared to be angered by the continued appeals from the former Pakistan leg-spinner before he was dismissed lbw. Mushtaq was not warned by the umpires for his appealing.
The 27-year-old Read went into the dressing room after he was dismissed but then confronted Mushtaq on the boundary, an incident he has apologised for.
**“I wish to apologise for my involvement in the incident with Mushtaq Ahmed earlier today,” said Read in a statement.
“It was totally out of character and will not happen again.”**
The England and Wales Cricket Board could take action depending on the outcome of a meeting between Read, Mushtaq and umpires Rob Bailey and Graham Burgess.
Read was one of Mushtaq’s six wickets during Nottinghamshire’s first innings of 229, establishing a lead of 86 runs. The hosts had nudged ahead by stumps, reaching 111 for three.
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
Rana 4-29 and Mushtaq 3-58 in second innings as Sussex defeated Notts by 41 runs. Rana had 3-89 and Mushy had 6-72 in 1st innings.
“Naved has been in red-hot form and now has 78 victims in only 12 games”
report and scorecard.
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
one player that Pakistan absolutely wasted bcoz of politics and is still working his magic in country cricket is saqlain mushtaq.Just imagine,the guy who equals the record for fastest 100 wicket(or i think he might have beaten it) and almost had 2 wickets for each one day he played,the first spinner to get a hatrick is sitting out fo rthe last 4 or so years,just based on 2 or so performances.
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
I think it was more to do with betting than politics :-) ... I guess I am not following his recent county performances very keenly otherwise I would have noticed his magic as well
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
I don't think he had anything to do with betting. Saqlain was not able to sustain his performances compared to his past and was then considered "figured-out" bowler before being dropped. He got a few more chances (not consistent basis though) where he couldn't perform well enough to remain with squad.
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
Whatever happens rest of the season, Naveed has made such a scintillating start to the season. Masha'allah! May he keep his form going come during the test series.
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
Did you follow that ODI in NZ where McMillan scored a century in the very last over where Saqi helped his cause by bowling a number of no balls down the leg side to allow him to hit sixes at will. It was one of the most obvious fixed encounters. 
I still wish he makes a comeback considering he won’t be indulging in any such activities anymore. Because he was definitely the best orthodox offspinner of this era.
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
What could be the possible reasons why the latest superstart from Pakistan Moahmmed Asif isn't performing to the expectations?
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
Don't think he is good enough to keep his form form for the test series.
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
Navedul Hasan grabs 30/5 to bowl out Glamorgan at 160 (needed 258 to win). Mushtaq gets 38/3 to help him.
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
^ Kaptaan jee he can take 10 wickets for no runs but he is still not good enough for the tests. :D
Re: Pakistani Players in Counties Season 2006
I think no one in Pakistan is good enough to be in the team. Pakistan should not tour England at all. They don't deserve to play cricket:D
