Speaking about Faheem’s importance in the team, head coach ofNorthamptonshire said:
The fact he’s got the extra pace is key, we’ve got a very fine group ofseam bowlers that got us into Division 1 and that’s not going to change.
But when it’s a bit flatter and it’s the last 2 days of the game and thatlittle bit of nip has gone out of the wicket, someone with a bit of paceand swing and bowling yorkers then I can see him being a genuine threatwhen the wickets are flatter.
