Paul Harris keen to make an international comeback – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PL-Harris-c2193, the discarded South African cricketer, believes that he still has a lot to offer to the country in the international sport, and hopes that the selectors will show faith on his abilities in future.
The 33-year-old debuted for the Proteas in 2007 and cemented his place in the Test team because of his ability to tie down the batsmen and bowl in the right areas consistently, although the left-arm spinner is not a genuine wicket-taker.
Since the last year, South Africa has preferred the right-arm leg-spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-c64193 Tahir, over Harris, the Pakistan-born cricketer being the more aggressive option in the longer format of the game.
Harris however, has not given up on making a return at the international level and feels that he still has it in him to deliver the goods for the Proteas. The Harare-born cricketer admitted that Tahir has been doing a commendable
job in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739 maintains that he did not deserve to be dropped.
"I'd still like to have my name in the hat. I want to play for South Africa again," the left-arm spinner said. "Look, at the end of the day, I think they gave Tahir a chance. He had done very well in our first-class cricket. They
gave him a chance. Probably, yes. I was a little hard done by.”
The out of favour Test cricketer has so far picked up 103 wickets in the 37 Tests he has played so far at an average of 37.87 runs per scalp, which needs to improve, if and when he is given another go at the world stage.
While talking about http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409 holds the key in the all-important battle and the speedster can solely destroy the English batting line-up.
"I think Dale's role is going to be important, if he bowls hard he will give the batsman a very tough time. I don't think spin will matter much. I think Steyn is the key, he is our X-factor," added Harris.
