| Is Kaneria the best of the new generation of spinners? Hi there! I thought I should start a thread on my favourite Pakistan player, Danish Kaneria.
Firstly, he's my favourite Pakistan player because last season he played for my county in England who are called Essex and he was by far our leading wicket taker. We also won significantly more matches when Danish was available to play for us.
As a result, I thought I'd pose a couple of questions to our Pakistani membership about young Danish.
Firstly, do you think he's currently the best young spinner in the world? If not, who is there to rival him from Pakistan, or indeed other countries?
As I understand it, Danish Kaneria is not a muslim. How do Pakistanis view having a non-muslim as a key player in their team? Is this a good thing for cultural diversity or will it mean that he is given less lee-way for having a couple of poor performances?
Finally, what other young and up and coming talents are there in Pakistan that have yet to be launched onto the international cricket scene and do you think that playing domestic cricket in the UK is key to Pakistani players being a success (notable stars of the county scene in the past have included Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Mohammed Akram, Salim Malik, Mushtaq Ahmed, Abdur Razzaq and many, many more) |
