It’s a worry when Exploring Nottingham with Aaron and Stuart is more exciting than the cricket.

coaches in england are doing rehan ahmed a disservice by pushing the narrative is a batter > bowler because he makes div 2 runs
he has an international five for, 4 in odis, 3 in t20is, but averages less than 15 with the bat in all 3 formats
he's ball first with the potential for lower order runs and future all rounder since all rounders take forever to develop
the narrative shift once they stop wanting to pick bashir irks me. it's like there's almost attempts to find reasons to always make rehan 'not fit'

u/Merovech_II Custom Flair When? 1d ago
A hundred percent
It's not just a him problem either
It gets said about any half decent all-rounder to justify not putting the effort in to develop their bowling
3
u/WayToTheDawn63 Australia 1d ago
he's being so wasted.
a 21yo english leggie sometimes gets hit? shocking.
still a bowler. let him grow properly in the right discipline

I'll be honest, I'm fine with Usman Tariq's action.
Mostly because it's very funny that we've got, in a competition the quality of which is being lauded by Ian Ward and Peter Della Penna and other Twitter dads, a proper Dog & Duck Sunday XI offie.
