HASHIM BHAI

I must say that there is a huge element of Joy when Hash achieves something. Like I said I take my hat off to the man for being a role model for the Muslim Youth Today. And to add that with his achievements on and off the field makes him a man like we say it on the blog "IN A DIFFERENT CLASS". Below is an article relating to the Mutual & Federal Cricket awards.
WELL DONE HASH. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.

Ntini becomes SA's leading man

South Africa's latest new ball combination, Makhaya Ntini and Dale Steyn, were fittingly rewarded on Tuesday night for their explosive conclusions to an otherwise mediocre season for the national side when they were named as two of the Mutual & Federal South African Cricket Annual's Cricketers of the Year.Ntini and Steyn were paired together for the three Test series against New Zealand at the end of last season, and their firepower enabled South Africa to secure that series 2-0 and thus put a glossy finish on an otherwise disappointing season - particularly in the Test arena in which they lost five of six Tests against Australia.

The three other recipients of the prestigious award made by the annual's editor Colin Bryden last night were wicketkeeper Mark Boucher, who was recognised for the third time, and Hashim Amla and Ashwell Prince, both first time recipients.Ntini became the first player to be recognised five times, having previously shared the record for the most nominations with current teammates Jacques Kallis and Shaun Pollock, and three former players, Clive Rice, Ken McEwan and Allan Donald, who were all rewarded on four occasions.
Boucher was recognised for the first time since 2000
The 29-year-old from Mdingi in the Eastern Cape richly deserves the recognition which goes alongside Mutual & Federal SA Cricketer of the Year Award he claimed earlier this year.He was by far the national side's outstanding performer during the difficult series against the Australians and claimed 28 wickets in five Tests.He also became the first South African to pick up back-to-back 10 wicket hauls and recorded the best figures by a South African bowler in a one-day international when he snagged 6/22 against the Aussies at Newlands.Boucher was recognised for the first time since 2000 for a season in which his gritty qualities were once again on display. He played one of the most important innings of his career when he made an unbeaten 50 to guide SA to victory in the '438' game at the Wanderers in March.Amla's career continued its upward trend as he marked his return to the South African team with a gutsy century in the second Test against the Kiwis at Newlands.He was also the only batsman to score over 1 000 runs in South African first-class cricket last season. Prince cemented his place in the national team with a determined century in Sydney.That knock elevated his status in the team and he became one of the senior members and was even handed the captaincy for the tour to Sri Lanka when Graeme Smith was forced to withdraw.

To all the cricket owes out there I always wanted to get views on the following questions
1. Why is Hash's technique critisised by the Superport owes?Do they have nothing better to do
2. Is Graeme Smith really fit to be our Captain and is he a good Captain?
3. Is Rudolph and Dippinaar really deserving of their places in the team?
4. Do you think South Africa Will perform in the ICC Champions trophy. I watched that Mahendra Singh Doni in the week and that owe will probably slaughter our owes in India?
