haha.... what is difference in this and last wc team?? only yunus khan..and he is more of a test player.. so dont worry, be ready for the bashing...
seems to be a promising talent , he's a bit late to get noticed by subcontinent standards at the age of 26-27 , was about to leave cricket for work in a plumbing company as a foreman, until a first of its kind initiative from a pakistani cricket blog and fans brought him to the notice of Aqib Javed who asked him to train at the NCA.. He has developed a lot since then , as the fast bowling legends of Pakistan including the great Waqar Younis have seen possibilities in this talent and groomed , mentored him to a level where he is definitely a bowler whos going to trouble a lot of batsmen in the coming days. Not so much with his speed which is around the 140 mark at best but because of the steep bounce hes going to generate because of his height. He stands around 6'10" . SEems like an intelligent and cool guy who studies the great Joel Garner to understand the bio-mechanics of bowling by very tall fast bowlers..It isn't easy for such a kind , as with any fast bowler they have unique issues of bio mechanics and rythm to be fixed. One funny thing is as i watched the youtube videos of him hes so big that his follow through inertia and long legs after the delivery takes him past the batsman's crease almost everytime.haha Plus his fuller deliveries skid like Wasims and are deadly although the control over short ones are is impressive too So pakistan will have a lot of issues with over rate if he hasn't already fixed this.Check out his blog at cricistan (dot) com
Already the paki side is demoralised by the extreme actions taken by the PCB. Now the omission of these players. But you cannot predict the T 20 results. It may swing in paki's favour also
"He was currently the world's leading wicket-taker in the format" .is this correct? Was-- past tense, currently-- present.... m i the only one confused??

its wrongly written as officially. It is not official and we would get an official figure when he comes to west indies.
As regards Umar gul being the best it depends based on what factor you assess a good bowler. He is indeed one of the top most wicket takers and also THE BEST deapth over bowlers but maybe not so at the begining of the game. It is quite subjective.
But it is a big blow not to have him in our team :(
