Qadir was great to watch. I can remember Trevor Bailey calling him " a slow bowler ,with the temperament of fast bowler." I think I remember Shane Warne saying he was influenced heavily by watching him. That description would fit Warne too.

Whats all this got to do with the WBA thread.
It’ll be puns next.

No idea mate, I’m stumped.

If you want to post about a postponed match, which won’t be rearranged, no one is stopping you.

His brother Sadiq played Brummie League, but I can’t remember who for. Might that have been Walsall, I wonder?

But it wouldn’t explain the ,“Marvellous Mushy,” headline I remember, or think I remember, anyway.

I made my adult cricket debut against Aston Unity as a 19 year old. A towering Zimbawian international called Dave Dinsmore destroyed us - all out for 25. A couple of years later he sadly collapsed and died whilst in his mid-20’s I remember reading.

Surely they could have swept the water off the pitch. It would have been a bit of slog , though.

Rain stopped play?

Nice weather for ducks though.

A couple of times last season, the night matches were in danger of being called off " Bad play stops light."

Spot on said it myself last week :+1:t2:

And ,how could I forget? Chris and Stuart Broad. The interesting thing is that the son generally does better than the father.

Howzat for a pun?
