Re: What Imran Nazir is doing ???
Where those Pakistani idiot fans who were calling for his inclusion for the last three years...Imran Nazir this Imran Nazir that...
Even Afridi is more reliable then Imran Nazir...
They are still here, and they are still telling us that we have a 'second Afridi' in our team (I consider that a problem in itself, not a solution). For all we know, Imran Nazir may hit three centuries in a row and silence us (I pray that he does), but that shouldn't mean he was the rigth choice in the long run. This is a selection based solely on "runs" he made in recent domestic games as opposed to 'how those runs were made." I saw Imran playing in both 2005 and 2006 20/20 tournament and I was shocked that people considered him a batsman let alone an opener. He's a a true slogger who likes to whack the ball across the line (yeah, those weren't PULL shots everybody was raving about in that innings against South Africa, they were 'whacks' that paid off ).
We don't need a super star slogger to open the innings. WE just need someone who can hang around for about 10/15 overs. Pick any 'Batsman' from the domestic cricket, forget how fast or slow he gets his scores. Any run-rate is faster than a 'fall of wicket'.
