  • I think those speed guns are a load of crap. Somehow the white ball goes faster - I bowled 83-84mph in the Test match, and 93mph in the one-dayers. It's crazy. I hadn't bowled a ball for ten days.

    Please advise me by e-mail of any event in future.

    Hi,

    Firstly thank you for this oppurtunity to contact yourselves and delegate some of your time to read this email.

    Please kindly could you contact myself when further trails are happening…

    I have been very unfortunate as a cricketer as my greatest ambition is to play and perform in the professional arena. I am very practical and realistic individual in terms of obtaining a professional contract. Again I must Emphasise on the importance of bad luck,which mainly inc being overlooked due to continuous injury, diagnosed with tendonitis of the wrist for 2 years and continous injuries on both knees.

    I have a genuine all round game. I specialise in opening an innings and seeing it completley through,or batting at 5 and creating a very good allround finish..

    I Bowl leg spin very effectively, siimilar to that of Anil Kumble and Shahid Afridi.

    Finally I am a point and extra cover specialist.

    Again Thank You for your time and look very forward to hopefully hearing from yourselves very soon…

    Junaid
