Hi amam
Yeah... i too feel that Mr. Bollywood isnt going to last long. Till that time lets enjoy what he can offer. Waisey i was able to see him bowl a little bit today. The bowl with which he downed Gary kirsten was only ugly, mean ball...hehehe (i kind of enjoyed it in an evil way!!<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>)
Sami is a great talent and if he stays injury-free will become one of world's leading fast bowlers. Gul is a good economic bowler, but thats what he should concentrate on. I cant see him becoming a potent strike bowler in the mould of akhtar or sami.
What we need at this time is one more strike bowler who along with these two fast bowlers and with kaneria and shoaib malik will form the pakistani bowling mainstay for the next 5-6 years.
On the topic of commentators, my favorites are Ian Chappell and Omar Qureshi. Its too bad that Omar Qureshi had to stop commentating because of advancing age. Yaar, i dont think that Gavaskar is unbiased. Sure, he did back us in the '92 WC, but have u seen him lately? Terrible, i must say... he has totally lost his objectivity as a commentator.
On the other hand, Ian chappell rises above his nationalistic feelings to give comments and has the calmest head among all contemporary commentators. Waisey, Ian Chappell alongwith that buffoon Tony Greig, do form a wonderfully exciting commentary team. I mean, the calm logic of Chappell alongwith the over-the-top and totally mindless babble of Greig is a very enjoyable combination for me.
I also admire Geoffery Boycott for his cruelly in-the-face, honest but at the same time, bloody funny comments.
