Trichromatic Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Kaneria is a joke. He will end up figures of 5/210 as usual. 5/210 in UAE won't be that bad. :winky:
Cricket Tragic Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 But in 2005 he was probably our best bowler against England on similar pitches.... I think he still has enuff talent in him to perform well for PAkistan There is a toss up b/w him and AbdurRehman who is a defensive spinner but is a very capable late order batsman. I prefer kaneria over him Leaving his action aside, Ajmal is a good bowler. Rehman has done alright but I've not been impressed by his bowling. He has done well enough to get the second spinner's slot though.

I would rather have a attacking leg-spinner as compared to defensive left arm spinner

Hur Rizvi Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Run scoring is going to be easier in UAE anyways. Taking wickets will be more important. thats why KAneria is important... he might go for runs but he picks up wickets
Gotham Cronie Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Nobody gave Pakistan a chance in '05 after England clinched the Ashes and were being talked as being a #1 team.
Cricket Tragic Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 On which planet is Kaneria an attacking spinner? Being a leggie does not automatically make him an attacking option.
Gotham Cronie Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 3 T20.....looks like a 1st in a bilateral series. Offen there is 1....max 2 in some...but 3 T20. Too much...considering there are 4 or 5 ODI's also. Pakistan played 3 in New Zealend on their last tour.
Hur Rizvi Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 On which planet is Kaneria an attacking spinner? Being a leggie does not automatically make him an attacking option. In comparison to Rehman He has picked up 260+ wickets at an average of 34 and s/R of 67 which shows he is a wicket taking spinner
punjabi_khota Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Good lord what has happened to me. I am rooting for Pakistan this time.
Cricket Tragic Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 In comparison to Rehman He has picked up 260+ wickets at an average of 34 and s/R of 67 which shows he is a wicket taking spinner Have a look at Kaneria's 5 wicket hauls. I can bet that the majority of them have come with him giving away 100-150 runs. How often has he taken something like 5-60?

How often has he taken something like 5-60? Again yopu arent getting the point I am not saying he is the best spinner on Planet his competition is with Rehman and I feel he is more threatening compared to Rehman... I would take even 5/150 in UAE
