Also, what do we think of the left arm quick? I think he looks like a good prospect for Afghanistan.

Regis always gets out when he plays blocking or half hearted shots if he had attacked that ball he would have survived

[Jemisi]

Blimey. We may be better batting third trying to save it from here.

[Jemisi]

Well that is something for Raza. Hope the tail can hang with him.

[zimlover]

Block Block Block mentality, out you go, The block Block stuff is nonsense.

[Jemisi]

We had to expect the rough decision to come.

[zimbos_05]

Absolute no excuse for this shambles.

The coaches have to go. All of them have had way too many chances and it's clear that our players do not have the management they need to become better players and develop their skills.

[Jemisi]

c'mon Raza bash a few more

He operates in the 130-140 kph range, mostly in the early and mid-130s. He's a decent bowler, but not as good as someone like Hamid Hassan or Dawlat Zadran. These two have retired though, so he's probably among the best in the current crop.

Yamin Ahmadzai is their best pacer currently, but he's fast-medium too. I'd put Shirzad at number two. There's also Naveen-ul-Haq, another fast-medium bowler, just like Ahmadzai and Shirzad.

Wafadar Momand and Ziaur Rahman Sharifi have real pace, but lack experience and don't have great numbers yet.
