We have had many legends of the game with disparities in education levels. Imran and Wasim are two ATG's of the game with disparities in their levels of education, so perhaps the effect of education on a cricketer is overestimated. Mohammad Aamir is another cricketer that comes to mind. Sometimes the talent is just there to carry you all the way...but could it be that an education might have saved him from ruining 5 years of his life and a potential ATG legacy? Who knows. What do you guys think about the issue?
When Imran Tahir first played for South Africa he was a little wayward used to bowl short pitch deliveries and full tosses quite regularly. But lately he has been very accurate and has been spinning the bowl and also bowling googly at ease. He even troubled left handers in WT20 because of his accurate bowling. I think South African system has helped him develop as a good bowler. He is not only handled by professional board and management unlike Pakistan but is also managed by a world class bowler. His improvement is clearly to be seen and i doubt he would have been the same bowler had he played for Pakistan where coaches and board would have destroyed him as a bowler. But now alongside Steyn he is their main bowler in limited overs Cricket!
Sri Lanka are going to face the most strong team of the tournament in final (India). Their recent record against India isn't that good but is it about time Sri Lanka win a WC instead of losing the final again?
