Aaqib had a nicer action and was a very competitive cricketer. Agree with you totally about Sami though, he's top quality and will prove it in the not too distant future!
I think I might just be more patient with Rao than you , he's only played two games, and is still only 23 so he can only improve from this stage, I maintain he might be a future option. I do think though just like you that he can improve on his action and follow through I'm actually surprised he's not been told that considering he has been in the first class circuit for as many as three years. Woolmer will work out what do with him. I will not play him though against Sri Lanka tomorrow, may be after we've qualified for the finals I migh give him another chance. Not tomorrow.
