kwami , learn something about how " great " men and Organisations think below... and keep your style for Bobbice
"Worcestershire were fantastic from the beginning," he says.
"They were sponsored by a beer company at the time, but they quickly gave me an unbranded shirt so I didn't have to wear
anything that advertised alcohol, and they give me space and time to pray.
Even at away games,
Graeme Hick
moved all his kit from the dressing room at Taunton so I had a place to pray.
People talk a lot about what a great player Hick was, but he is even greater as a man.

Moeen will be great and compare his stats to those who have already played for us.
I had hope he would have made it in two or three years ago but now he has.

Do you actually think that Worcestershire would have been so accommodating if not for the large muslim population in that area? .
They are only concerned about getting those fans in the stadium

"Yes, I could have earned more money at another club. And maybe they would have had better facilities.
But they've been good to me here, I enjoy being one of the main men in the team and I like the people.
Those things are more important.
It's not all about money. "

Worcester, unlike Leicester, does not have a large Asian or Muslim population.
As a recent addition to this family, Islam is a way of life rather than limited to the Mosque or Fridays. It is lived.
Moeen like many millions Muslims are not imposing their views on anyone else. He is identifiable because he wears a beard.
What Worcester has done is in line with many employers who accommodate the needs of their employees.
In fact Liverpool's Medic who is Muslim, or used to be anyway, detailed prayer facility and special food are made available for their Muslim players. All are from abroad.
One player not wearing the alcohol advertising serves to get them more publicity in many ways so finances are not lost because a handful of people do not support the advertising of alcohol.
I hope you do not mind me sharing this with you.

Mail ,
thanks for sharing that with Kwami and Googs
He credits
Steve Sylvester
, a sports psychologist, for much of his progress.
Sylvester, a former left-arm seamer who played a handful of games for Middlesex and Nottinghamshire
at the start of the 1990s,
helped Moeen put his faith and his cricket into context and banish any fear of failure
"He helped me embrace what I am all about," Moeen says.
"He helped me see the bigger picture and the role of cricket in my life.
Cricket, basically, is just a game and, by understanding that I have a greater purpose
I can relax and not worry about what happens on the pitch."

Moeen is a big deal here but 4 years ago he was heavily touted as he excelled in the age group representative cricket.
Good philosophy to have.
