Tahir now doing giles and paul harris

[Cricketics]

Trying to bowl everything negative to get a wicket. It's not really illegal delivery, but dates back to the time when Paul Harris tried the same stuff to get Sehwag out and back in 01 Giles doing to get Tendulkar. We got to hang in here. Keep dumping him.

Some SA fans feel bowling of Tahir would be considered poor even in under-12 cricket :hysterical:

Tahir is a total shyt bowler. I think they would be better off with Robin Peterson. At least the guy can bat.

For Durban - SA will go with 4 pacers. McLaren to replace Morkel and one more pacer (who will that be - if they want one more - does Parnell have a chance?) - they know thats their best attack - all pacers with Duminy as spinner.

[Old guy]

His performance against Pakistan allowed him to play against us Thank you padosis :icflove:

[NareshK]

Honestly one of the worst spinners I've seen. All he bowled were half trackers and full tosses. Duminy is way better than him and he is not a regular bowler.

Ray Price of Zimbabwe was the best spinner I have seen who didn't get to play enough after Stuart Mcgill. Had he moved to South Africa when he stopped playing for Zimbabwe, I am sure he would have represented South Africa. He was really good. Very underrated spinner. I am glad he got to make some money through Mumbai Indians, when he got picked in IPL.

This guy actually plays for an international team? :hahaha: Cant land 2 balls in a row at the same spot. Shane warne and Anil Kumble are rolling in their graves already! If this is the spinner South Africa picked, how mediocre are those who they overlooked? :yikes:

South African support staff say Imran Tahir has picked up a bad haircut and will not play any further part in this test.

Tahir is shyte .. Why is South Africa not playing Robin or Paul Harris?? Both can do the holding job 100 times better than Tahir.

Paul Harris retired last year.

[mastana]

He should only play against Pakistan. :hehe:

Paul Harris retired last year.

Get him back out of retirement ... If Afridi can come back, why cant Saffers get the only good spinner in the country to come back and play .... Else play botha ... Even he is more accurate than the immigrant.

[fineleg]

If sa mgmt have brains, they will play all pace attack with mclaren and parnell or some such in durban.

Harris did a fabulous job on his debut test. India was in a great position to put up good score on day 4 and win a test series in SA. Some of our veterans caught cold feet and couldnt buy a run against Harris.

Harris was decent, Tahir is not.

[Iconoclast]

He was decent in UAE but leggies are gonna be expensive when picthes dont turn. They should save him for subcont tours where u need a leggy

I am sorry.. leggies occasionally land the ball :cantstop: He hardly landed. Some of them he landed were at his feet.. Seriously he would not qualify for under-12 team with this bowling. Never seen such a trashy bowling from a specialist spinner ever. I understand spinners did not get much out of it. But it still shouldn't stop you from landing the ball reasonably well.

Does this fecker know how to pitch a ball properly? Either it is a rank long hop or a full toss!!
