Good news. Finally a positive for SA cricket it's just a shame it will only be for half a season.

Is that for sure? Like someone said earlyer he wont be needed in march

[Lightning McQueen]

We'll ruin any ability he has.

[MagicKiwi]

If we make the finals he will be back next year but this depends on his Pakistan commitments.

The fact that he will be there will be good. It will be a good chance for our batsmen to look at how a top class player prepares themselves and the amount of work they put in to being that good.

Will he play for a district club when he is not playing for sa

Will he play for a district club when he is not playing for sa

I doubt it.

what a waste of time and money

he basically is here for all the season- in th epaper it suggests he will play 7 first class matches and 6 one day games.

if younis khan cant show our batsmen the way to prepare and how to apply themselves when batting no-one can- younis can bat for long periods something that if cossie and ferg could do they would become top class first class batsmen.

He will be valuable for the young blokes to play alongside- but Im just really looking forward to watching him bat. IMO he is the best player to watch in world cricket, as he is not what i would call a conventional player as he is so uncomplicated- He is one of the few "see it and hit it" players left in test cricket and he is awesome to watch- should be good for the spectators- for Sa cricket the move is surprising to say the least- i would have thought there'd be other priorities and ways to spend the money

that decribes the Redbacks perfectly- do you also have an opinion on Younis Khan?

really positive move from the SACA. first for a while.
expectations of him carving the scene up should not be too high but as mentioned above will bring in a wealth of experience that will hopefully rub off.
very much looking forward to seeing him bat.

Lets hope he has the success that Jeff Crowe, Garner and Sobers, and not struggle like out latest o/s recruits such as Flower.
