Hmmm have mixed feelings about this. As much as I think Rashid is awesome, he isn't a T20 player. His record in domestic T20 games isn't brilliant. But then again I see T20I as a chance for new players to get a feel of the International stage and that's what Rashid is getting. So yeah, hmmm lol.

Why replace him with Rashid someone how got a poorish record in OD matches, an awful one in Twenty20's and has been poor this season?

 

[Ollie_H]

Well, David LLoyd will love it! He always thinks there should be a leggie and now we have one!

 

[King Cricket]

So, is Adil Rashid a quality cricketer?

 

[Dr. Pepper]

He's young with a lot of talent. A genuine leg spinner who can also bat. Last season he had a very good season for Yorkshire but this season he's had a poor start. He could be a star though.

He could be a star though

Well my sig says he will, and it's never wrong.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Your sig doesn't mention Shakib Al Hasan...

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

just mentioned this in another thread. but I don't see why you would pick Rashid when samit patel is staring the selectors in the face.

 

[Biggy]

He looks to me more like a First Class player, he's struggled in the shorter forms of the game, very interesting selection.

Your sig doesn't mention Shakib Al Hasan...

He's already his team's best player.

Fitness Issues, the ECB feel he isn't up to the right standard of fitness to be playing International cricket. Not as bad as Mark Cosgrove!

Rashid played for Yorkshire yesterday and actually bowled pretty well! 1 for 25 from his 4 overs, bowled some absolute jaffas!

 

[The_gas]

I am liking the look of Rashid, get this guy in the team. :banana2

 

[King Pietersen]

He got slapped about by Scotland yesterday.....

 

[Themer]

I think that Rashid is a decent player and may have the potential to become a good International player but he is not suited to 20/20 cricket paticularly. Don't understand why someone who isn't in the Yorkshire 20/20 team regularly gets in the England team.
