I haven't seen such a quality spinner in Pakistan for a long times. I still fail to believe selectors didn't picck him in the squad when world cup is in India. Did you see how specialist spinners like Sodhi and Santer riot against a champ against spin(supposedly)? I doubt all round spinner can bowl such spells. He may take one wicket but that's it. Don't see them bowling match winning spells. That's why it's mind boggling how our dumb selectors have missed a specialist spinner.
When God is with you your days are great.
Nawaz bowled well in PSL but was very lucky to take as many wickets as he did. Asghar bowled twice better than him but got 2,3 less wickets.
That just cost us eventually uptil now.
Can't find Afridi's interview where during a mid game break he was asked about Asghar and he said he will take 2,3 years to get ready. Whereas he troubled the best PSL pakistani batsman and still Afridi had to say this.
Afridi wanted Nawaz as he could hold the bat.
My point is we should have picked anyone I would have had no issues Imad or Nawaz but not both.
Asghar is better than Jadega, Raina, Sodhi & Santner.
Seeing pakistan pace attack after India Pakistan game they would make square turners for our next games to neutralise our pacers but if we had Asghar than it would not have been possible.
Let's see How Sami, Imad, Nawaz, Irfan, Anwar Ali & Khalid go fitness wise in next 7 days.
Their fitness will be tested. Incase of any injury God forbid we should rope in Asghar.
