Well... i suppose in a nation full of cricket fans, it is good to see veryone capable is being given a chance to prove themselves

Yes Hasib. But then again as you know in our country, it's all about having the right Jack or John in right places. I wonder how many of the real talents would actually be considered for training at MRF foundation. On a brighter note, at least we are doing something to hunt better fast bowlers. I hope we can find at least two or three tear-away quickies who can bowl bloody fast. Would love to see a fast bowler from BD yorking SRT or Lara with sheer pace.
