very excited about rubel, though i dislike malinga-edwards style slingers on purely aesthetic grounds. very impressed by his "alleged" pace as he is just an 18 year old battu.
Shahadat needs to make his performance permanent in tests and not lose his bite, as he demonstrated in this last series.

And in ODIs, if he can step it up, we will not be sending these hyper-potential chick-lings to the sledge-hammer before they are able to cope.

Most of our young bowlers are one trick ponies (Talha, Nazmul especially)...who get compromised all too early in their career.

Wasim Akram may talk about milking young ones...but his magic is in his hands ...not in his head.

He comes from a time when Pakistan had many mentors in their team, and also great bowlers who provided cover to these budding bowlers. Like always, Asians tend to talk around ideas that hit their head as the first thing, instead of careful analysis of all implications.
