Oh dear. Just what we need...

He can bat too though can't he? Everything I read about him sounds promising, but I've never seen him play.

Got a bit of a Stuart Clark type action if I recall, mid 80's. Then again could well be making it up...

Channelling Amjad Khan?

Had decent control, don't ever recall him looking like an amateur.... there ends the comparison!

Rashid though does appear to have been very poorly handled, what did he do in SA that made the selectors change their minds - drop a few drinks? Bowl absolute dross in the nets?

I think he must have knocked Giles back.

Yeah so he got hit around and hasn't done too well in ODIs. Which is exactly what his List A record suggested would happen. I'm happy with him not being in the ODI or T20 squads. But he should definitely be in the test squad. 2 offies is pointless.
