Unfit and even bowling 10 overs is too much for this lot.I have seen fear in Naseem eyes whenever he bowls theses days.
All the batters are smashing him .

They are lazy and done. The one selecting them deserves this (another embarrassment).
but his body is getting bulky.. 135 is max which he can deliver with carrying such weight
Then why does he average 35+ in t20s, where he only needs to bowl 4 overs?
I did nt say he was good in t20.. Probably not a t20 bowler.. if he can improve his fitness he can be effective in Longer formats. but right now it does nt look he will.. These guys are not so professional with fitness standards needed at this level
Rauf is 5 feet 11, Naseem is 5 feet 10 (180cm vs 178 cm). Barely any difference in height, not even an inch
Bro he is an idiot though
This what happens when you didn't take your game seriously. I hope he has played his last game. An overweight pie chucker is not required.
Most of these pacers like Naseem got directly introduced to international cricket without much domestic experience. They break down easily now
Any Batters who fear 135 Kph should quit Cricket!In an interview with Saj for inews, Pakistan fast-bowler Naseem Shah speaks about the tragic loss of his mother at time of his debut against Australia, why he is looking forward to bowling to Joe Root and Ben Stokes, what he hopes to learn from the likes of James Anderson and Stuart Broad and his ambitions to play County Cricket in England.
Pakistan’s uncanny ability to produce young fast-bowling talent has been evident since the country’s induction as a cricket nation in 1952.
Fazal Mahmood, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar are just some of the names who have enthralled the world of cricket with their blistering pace and ability to swing the ball.
But since Shoaib’s international career ended in 2011, there has been a degree of pessimism among cricket enthusiasts about the lack of fresh talent coming through the corridors of Pakistan’s pace-bowling factory.
However, it appears that any such fears can now be laid to rest with the arrival of Pakistan’s latest fast-bowling find: Naseem Shah.
Part of Pakistan’s latest generation of Under-19 pacers, 17-year old Naseem has quickly gained a reputation for his pace and aggression. He made his international debut last year in Australia and while his performances did not yield the results he had hoped for, he did show glimpses of the potential that he possesses.
During the tour of Australia, Naseem was also confronted with a personal tragedy, when his mother passed away back home.
He was unable to return to Pakistan for her funeral and was distraught that his mother never got to fulfil her wish of seeing him in national colours.
“It was a difficult time for me in Australia,” he says. “I was struggling to sleep and had to take sleeping tablets after the loss of my mother.
“She always prayed for my success and dreamt of seeing me play for Pakistan, but she never saw that happen which was tragic and heart-breaking. I think of her every time I take a wicket and thank her for her prayers and blessings.”
At the end of last year he took seven wickets in two home Test matches against Sri Lanka which followed the tour of Australia. However, Naseem’s talents really came to the fore during a Test match in Rawalpindi against Bangladesh in February. It was in that game he became the youngest man to take a Test match hat-trick, a moment that he particularly savoured.
“It was an incredible moment. The best thing about it was that it was in front of my countrymen at Rawalpindi.
“Pakistan has been starved of international cricket for many years and I hope it was a special moment for fans who were at the ground.
“I hope it’s the first of many records I can break, but above all, it meant that I had helped my country towards victory.”
Bowling fast requires a special mindset given the immense physical and mental hurdles that need to be overcome. For Naseem, these challenges are exactly what attracts him to the art of fast bowling as he explained, “Only a fast-bowler can understand the mindset of another fast-bowler and appreciate the highs and lows.
“On those days when your rhythm is right, your body feels good, your run-up is smooth and the ball is just coming out nicely, you are on top of the world and there is no better feeling.
“I always wanted to be a fast bowler and even in my school days, I loved to scare batsmen by bowling fast.
“I feel good when I see fear in the batsman’s eyes, it motivates me to bowl even faster.”
For a youngster like Naseem, he appreciates that understanding the manner in which bowlers like James Anderson utilise the conditions could well provide knowledge that will be crucial for his success later this summer and in the future.
“Learning from your own coaches and team-mates is vital, but I feel that watching the opposition bowlers and learning from them is almost equally as important,” he says.
“I’ll be observing the English bowlers very closely, to see how they bowl in home conditions.
“I’m a big admirer of James Anderson who’s been such a brilliant bowler for so long. You don’t take hundreds of Test wickets without knowing what you are doing and to be around Anderson and have the opportunity to learn from him is something that I am not going to miss out on.”
He may be raw, but Naseem has the confidence and self-belief of a cricketer destined for greatness.
He believes in respecting the opposition but not fearing their abilities and is keen to leave England as someone both English fans and players will remember.

“Joe Root and Ben Stokes are two cricketers I rate highly, and it will be great to test myself against them, he says. “I respect good players, but I do not fear them.
“I will show them respect, but I will not let them dominate and I will not think that these guys are really good, world-class cricketers and that I should be concerned or worried about bowling to them.
“I want to leave England this summer having created an impression on the opposition batsmen and with the fans.At the moment, they won’t know who I am, but hopefully by the end of the tour they will know all about me.”
The experience of playing county cricket is one that many greats of Pakistan cricket have attributed to their development in the past.
It therefore stands to reason that Naseem is looking at the upcoming tour as a way of impressing observers in England with a view to playing county cricket in the future.
“Looking back over the years many of the Pakistani fast-bowling greats have played county cricket and really benefited from it,” he says. “Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis are just some of the bowlers who have said that county cricket really helped them mature and improve and I would definitely like that opportunity at some point.
“I just need to manage my workload and not overdo it, but if the opportunity arose I would jump at it as I know it will definitely help in my development as a bowler.”

Hasan's strength is bowling in the middle overs though. It's not being utilized well.
His career will be over before he realises his mistakes and the error in his ways. Same story with too many Pakistani players.
Only bowler I've witnessed who's batting is better then his bowling(excluding allrounders)
He might be bowling filth right now, but he is still quicker than Indian pacers so let’s not talk about trundling here.Specsavers missing a trick by not signing up this beautiful bowler for their next ad...
I see fear in the eyes of the batters as I am trundle in
Should have gone to spec savers...
Is he though mate not sure about that? With all the gosht he's eaten still huffing and puffing in at at 130ks, what a waste of meat, could have generated more pace from spinach? Remind me at what pace did your most amazing Phasst bowler on the last England test tour Abbas bowl at?He might be bowling filth right now, but he is still quicker than Indian pacers so let’s not talk about trundling here.
You debuted a guy grunting at 125 kph all match just recently
.
Based of what is naseem shah eating meat?Is he though mate not sure about that? With all the gosht he's eaten still huffing and puffing in at at 130ks, what a waste of meat, could have generated more pace from spinach? Remind me at what pace did your most amazing Phasst bowler on the last England test tour Abbas bowl at?
All good bowling 145k in a 4 over spell, but then T20's is probably what PCT's beautiful bowler's good for...
Back to spec savers...
Gave the response, probably not to the liking of the powers to be.... short response, he is a fear some Pakistani phasst bowler, got to be a meat chomper- as per ancient PP wisdom
Abbas isn’t young buddy.Is he though mate not sure about that? With all the gosht he's eaten still huffing and puffing in at at 130ks, what a waste of meat, could have generated more pace from spinach? Remind me at what pace did your most amazing Phasst bowler on the last England test tour Abbas bowl at?
All good bowling 145k in a 4 over spell, but then T20's is probably what PCT's beautiful bowler's good for...
Back to spec savers...
Now he isnt but in 2018... he was a trundler at the ripe old age of what 28ish?Abbas isn’t young buddy.
Trundling is what Anshul Kamboj was doing
Still better than grunting at 125 kph on debutNow he isnt but in 2018... he was a trundler at the ripe old age of what 28ish?
PCT in a downward spiral and your last boast of phaaast bowlers is going the literal t pan as well....
Are they quicker than most though- when was the last time your fast bowlers bowled a fiery test spell to remember? Will be more than few years... unless offcourse the world of PCT is now limited to T20's and the odd ODIStill better than grunting at 125 kph on debut
Our pacers are rubbish and yes their pace has gone down slightly, but they are still quicker than most in world cricket. Having pace doesn’t make you a good bowler but your inferiority complex even at this time is interesting to say the least.
to producing
Oh those beef vs vegetables wars PP and indian posters had. Yeah I missed that war.
Or even Philander.
What are Naseem's numbers? As I said above, Naseem has the same average as Venkatesh Prasad and AB Kuruvilla.He might be bowling filth right now, but he is still quicker than Indian pacers so let’s not talk about trundling here.
You debuted a guy grunting at 125 kph all match just recently
Lol, not in tests, Afridi, Naseem all trundle in tests while Bumrah, shami, Siraj bowl much quicker. Even Sri lanka, bangla, have faster bowlers than that.Still better than grunting at 125 kph on debut

It's a myth he's bowling quick, he's bowling 130. 135 he bowled only once ir 2x. Show me proof he is bowling 135 consistently?
Naseem's 35 is due to minnow bashing.
Your fellow countrymen are the ones having this unhealthy obsession when your pacers have barely caught up to the rest of the world.
Yeah but still, you are the only team to have a 35 averaging fast bowler in the team, who also trundles at 130kph.Your fellow countrymen are the ones having this unhealthy obsession when your pacers have barely caught up to the rest of the world.
The likes of Archer, Wood, Rauf, Starc etc are comfortably quicker than any Indian pace bowler at the moment, but a snide comment has to come from an insecure Indian fan
Sneaking in Tepiya in there lol.Your fellow countrymen are the ones having this unhealthy obsession when your pacers have barely caught up to the rest of the world.

Yeah. He has been the same bowler as he was on his debut. I think he got worse actually..
And even that backfired as WI of all teams defeated them at home for the first time since the 80s I believe.These lot got embarassed by Nahid Rana and Hasan Mahmud on home soil last year.
And then had to resort to table fan dried wickets to win against England just because of the sheer uselessness of their phaast bowlers.
Erm ..chadda sahab- .it's aug 2025 & the world XI is quaking in their collective boots...
....
both babar and him have declined and that 100-150 wickets at 28 also seems like a distant dream now lol
