We need Shoaib Akthar back ASAP instead of Kaneria

[Noman]

Danish Kaneria have been useless in this match havent taken any top order wickets, He is as bad a fielder as Akhtar ..

We really need Shoaib Akhtar back he can take top order wickets and he can bowl 10 overs a day im sure about that in these condition in England..

Danish have played a lot of cricket in english Condition and he is still useless.

Akhtar would have knocked this tail out easily..

Akhtar is a wicket taker bowler unlike Kaneria who give 100 runs to take 2 wickets.

We need Akhtar back ASAP he will get fitter by playing..

[Liverpool_Faizan]

hahaha

10 overs in a day

this is the mentality that kills pakistani cricket.

[Big Mac]

Laughable.

[Solid Snake]

I use to be a big Akhtar fan but there is no point replacing one failure with another failure who may be slightly better (debatable).

Danish never gets wickets until he has given 100+ runs away. In the subcontinent where you have to toil away, this may be acceptable, but in matches outside the subcontinent figures of 150-5 are useless.

I believe ajmal would have been a better choice- at least he doesn't take an age to find his rhythm but that would only be a temporary solution, we need to try someone new.

[dhump]

ohh man I was waiting for such threads but not this shoaib akhtar man have you seen him lately ??

[insaftak]

Time to look for another spinner and saed ajmal isn't that spinner for test matches either

[proud_pakistani]

I dun get the ppl who are against Shoaib...whts he done wrong since his comeback...had one bad T20 against the aussies??.....if u saw the asia cup games he was in great rhythm...maybe he still needs more fitness for tests but he is still a very good bowler....

Wonderful idea.
Just curious why didn't you complete the sentence.
He will get fitter by playing what????

Also last we saw he was huffing and puffing to complete 4 overs in a twenty20.

[Warfare]

We might as well get Inzi and Waqar to play while were at it.

[uzy99]

No we do not

[ali_ed2006]

No we don't. However we do need someone else to replace Kaneria. Maybe Ajmal should be given a chance in the 4 tests.

[Noman]

Well no matter what Akhtar would have taken 4-8 wickets in this match in these condition..

Kaneria is useless - time to give Akhtar a go or try Hassan Raza or Ajmal...

[Warfare]

I think people are forgetting Ajmal in New Zealand.

[pakmania]

Akhtar needs a wheelchair to get to the crease,I'd really like him to be in the team though BUT,and this is a HUGE BUT.Is he fit enough ?

Rather just replace Kaneria for Ajmal

[Wazeeri]

Is Akhtar so slow now a days that we will be playing him as our spin option?

[Arsh_afridi]

replace danish kaneria either with abdurazzak or with yasir arafat.

[GLORY OF '92]

Ajmal or Ahmed or Riaz or another batsman. Kaneria is a liability.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

hahaha you're happy with him bowling 10 overs in a day

[zahid01]

This wicket was not for the spinners why do we always want players in and out i don,t see kaneria being dropped only position available is in the batting shoaib malik has it at the moment as for bringing back shoaib,razzak,for replacing kaneria is a joke as we will need a spinner in the team not all ground,s going to be like lords, and headingley, seamers friendly

[saadibaba]

Laughable post.

"Akhtar needs a wheelchair to get to the crease"....thats funny

[sully3]

i feel the downfall of kaneria had begun as soon as he started playing for essex. they have ruined him.

time to move forward

[Energy]

Shoaib Akthar is not required in the test team. Agree with the fact that Kaneria can be replaced, possibly by giving Raza Hassan an opportunity.

No downfall started when he was told that he's the next Shane Warne.
