Hameed's one point agenda

Lahore: Man of the match in the Peshawar one-dayer, Yasir Hameed has a one-point agenda — that the Indian team should never forget his name and face.

Hameed was motivated when Indian vice-captain Rahul Dravid thought him to be a nets bowler before the Rawalpindi one-dayer.

The 26-year-old was in the same lift with Dravid and media manager Amrit Mathur when the Indian vice-captain asked him whether he was the same bowler who had bowled to the visitors at the nets. He then asked whether Hameed was Saqlain Mushtaq's brother and was he also an off-spinner.

``He didn't recognise me and I didn't say anything. But yes it was a sort of wake up call for me. I wanted to score runs and stay long enough at the wicket to enable the Indians to recognise me throughout the series,'' he was quoted as saying. — UNI
