Re: Umar Gul keen to make comeback

Read my post again. I said using these two basics McGrath has been devastating. Its not a comparission. As Pathan, Balaji are making a good deal out of these things, same can be true for Umer. Its not like he is the best from the lot. But he does deserve a come back. And now since we have Rana, Shabbir, Sami, Rao and Akhtar , it will be a good contest between all these to earn a place in every other series. As we see happening in India, they can shuffle around the pacers at will, since they have a good backup in case of a out of form or injury case.

Its not over rating, its about having another intelligent pacer under the belt for some tough series to come, specially with ICCC 2006 in mind. The way Rana and Sami has put their efforts, is a big question for Akhtar and others. Its all about decipline and determination, even with very limited abilities. Umer is also very deciplined and will be an asset in years to come. Pakistan may not have lightning fast pacers, but some quality seamers with good decipline. Who knows from this lot some day we will have our own McGrath like or may be another Azhar Mehmood.

very well said
