If he gets a 100 today, Ali Hamid won't be far off the Test squad conversation. Excellent player in this format. Really improved against spin too, that was his issue.
Is he Zimbabwean?

Raza and friends are just waiting for a couple of good scores from Ali. He's OK, has had known problems against spin so this would just be the perfect test for him. :lol:
They'll probably save him for Ireland.

I see Larry took his default captaincy very seriously today, bowled himself into the ground with 25 overs in searing heat.
50 overs between him and Victor for almost no return.
Will be interesting what the team has to say if they start losing.

I know it's not the highest quality bowling but he has looked far more confident against spin this calendar year. About to score his 4th Logan Cup century of the year.

I'd rather have him as the token Raza pal in the side than Faraz anyway :lol:

He had a terrible season in the UK, like really bad. Showed his limits as a player.

Back to Larry. You have to wonder why he was prepared to stab NW in the back. All those guys had to do was refuse the captaincy. I guess they would have imported one, but if the players don't stick together they deserve what they get.
