Let's Talk Squash - SUSPENDED

Just been watching the BJO U-19 finals. The Egyptian Mohammad El Shorbaghy reminded me a lot of Jansher. He has the same uncanny anticipation and the deceptively lazy looking footwork. He was controlling the T for most of the match, and though Gregoire Marche tried everything, he still lost 0-3.
Considering the fact that he is not yet 18, he looks set to duplicate Ramy's feat of 2 Junior titles.

I thinks its too late for him to be the next Jansher, maybe the next Ramy? Didn't Jansher win the World Open when he was 17? When's the World Open? Does he still have time? Question

Jansher's records probably won't ever be duplicated.

If you picked jansher from the time when he dominated in the 90's and was in his prime, and placed him amongst the current crop of top professional squash players he would really get his arse kicked. no way would he dominate like he did in the past. still a class player though, but he dominated at a time when his opponents were not as good as todays players. still have great respect for the man.........
