4- You always need specialist wicket keeper for test cricek. if he can bat, good enough but his batting should not keep him as a wicket keeper. If 1 to 6 can't score trust me wicket keeper at number 7 won't do any wonders.
5- Danish Kaneria is from harbajhan Family. They both are playing international cricket for accidental reasons. Abdul Rehman can do a lot better than this 1-150 leg spinner. Even I can do better..na sorry...I meant my grand mom.
Irfan is tall, but bowlers like tanveer ahamad deserve more chances then he does. tanveer has been playing for the last 9 years, ending up at the top 10 position but never got call up, but now he finnily does. Irfan has jsut played one domestic season, he still has to play a little more games to get in the team.
Being spiner u dont get wickets very easily like pace bowlers. I think we have been watchign ammer and asif take wickets realy fast that now we want kaneria to bowl like that. SPiners start taking wickets after 40th over.
