Shoaib gets caught at the border

I don't know what Surrey was playing at. 

But someone has fucked up. 
And their potential saviour Shoaib Ahktar could not get past the border security. 
I will not make any jokes about Muslims getting caught without Visas. 
I don't know how mistakes like this are made, but this was a good one. 
Shoaib was to be the metaphoric white knight, and now all they have is Matthew Nicholson.
Again. 
When i arrived in London, with slightly less fanfare than Shoaib, i was asked the rules of my visa. 
Once of which was that you cannot play professional sport, unless you are on a professional sport visa. 
You'd think a county cricket team that brings people over to play for them all the time might know the rules. 
Perhaps not. www.cricketwithballs.com... fighting the war on tony greig
