Surely you mean a helmet with a safety gorilla...

If Kongy did wear a helmet, and then signed on for WA, would he be a big, helmeted, warrior?

Aftab Habib is Hong Kong's coach. Bizzare.

Pakistan 2/67 off 11.4

Thought that as the game had been going for an hour and there'd been no posts, someone better bring us up to date.

by Zat Tue 24 Jun 2008, 11:59

Actually, that's a waste of time, because everyone must be watching a game of this importance.

Hong Kong ran out of gas exactly 155 miles before destination.

Should've picked King Kong. Can't believe they didn't. What were they thinking?

If not the Kong, atleast Godzilla, he's there in the neighbourhood.

On the basis of his yesterday's performance Tanvir thinks that he is an allrounder now.

by Henry Wed 25 Jun 2008, 06:24

Tanvir has a good first class record with the bat, and he bats at 6 or 7 for his domestic side.

Thats not saying much.
PAK has 23 domestic teams and all play in 1 large group so the level of competition is poor.

by Henry Wed 25 Jun 2008, 06:33

Still, he's not the worst. Has the ability to be a good number 8, imo.

by PlanetPakistan Wed 25 Jun 2008, 06:39

I like his attitude because he isn't scared of the big stage but unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to be a top level cricketer.

by SG Wed 25 Jun 2008, 07:44

he doesn't have the ability to be a top level cricketer.

Why would you say so?

He mainly gets the ball to move away from the right handers and when he tries to bring the ball back in he loses a bit of control and doesn't have much pace either. He might one day turn in to a handy ODI cricketer but i don't see him having a good test career.

by SG Fri 27 Jun 2008, 06:03

Yep, I'd agree with this.
