South Africa v England, 4th Test, Jo’burg, Jan 14-18

[bucky]That was not a mistake, you just misunderstood me completely. It might have looked like I wrote Pakistan, but that's just because you're all a bunch of racists out to get me. Take a look at yourselves in the mirror, you disgusting creatures[/bucky]

Seeing as Taips knows more about South African cricket than I, according to him Tahir barely gets a match in FC cricket in SAF.

Although he last played in late December and picked up a 12fer.


Not sure why this should hamper him, he's done exceptionally well for Hampshire and is a revelation. IF the Wanderer's is a green top as Trev proclaims, then Duminy should be enough trouble for England, with the 4 seamers.

Take Tahir to WI, try him out on on a more fragile batting line up.

My recollection of Tahir is that when he's in the zone he's very dangerous but when off form he offers up plenty to hit.

A less punchable version of Harris then.

Similar to Kaneria then?

Trev in generalising people shock. FFS.

Which must make England eternally desperate.

When it's a greentop in Johannesburg spinners are redundant.

Smerky I don't know where you come up with this shit.

Tahir's FC stats this season

Imran Tahir 2 82.4 5 358 7 4/112 6/203 51.14 (Titans)

You will also notice that he has been picked for only 2 out the 8 games Titans have played

Smerky you talking about this amateur game?

Odd post coming from an Englishman.

Yeah, yeah, I understand the context of the post, but couldn't resist an unrelated jibe.

I believe the post was ironic Skulls, are you a seppo or summat?

What's the story with First Class status in South Africa? Cricket Archive are claiming he has 44 FC wickets @ 22.15 in the 2009/10 season.
