i didn't get a chance to see him before but he really impressed me in that match. he has so many variations specially his googly seems good to me. the only thing i noticed was that he used googly very often in that match against tail-enders but i can give him benefit of doubt that he might want to decieve tail-enders as they must be expecting leg-break after every wrong'un.

have anyone seen him??? if yes then whats your opinion about him???

Salaam Aneel,

Did you watch Mohammed Irshad and Najaf Shah in action in the earlier matches?

Imran Tahir was very highly rated prspect few years ago but then he had two really ordinairy domestic seasons but he has done really well this year and should get some consideration for the Indian tour.

Saw him play for Middx a couple of years ago - did'nt impress. However, has improved by all accounts. I hope he is picked for the India Tour. Another good spinner is Tahir Khan, can also bat.

Uses the wrongun far too much, is a Saqi doosra-abuser or a Mushy before he even begins his intl career sadly.

In the game that I saw him last month he certainly didn't seem to abuse it as such. He used the leggie which did turn alongwith the occassional flipper and googly.

Though I saw only one spell of about 10 overs.

well thats good that he seems to be learning from his mistakes marooned. thanks for that. any topspinners?

Not sure, there was variety which I liked. I can't remember if he bowled top spinners.

However, in the end the things that will be most important are

1) How much his leggie turns on a regular basis (not sure if he gives it a real rip)

2) His control.

the most important thing Marooned is deception in the flight.

Yes that too. Mansoor showed he gets some indrift in the air hopefully he will develop to his potential.

unfortunately BW has already ruled out one of the few good spinners for the domestic circuit..

im not sure if it was tariq mahmood or imran tahir.

Never thought @ that time that he would play for South Africa did you?
