Got to say, I'm disappointed.. I tuned in to watch Pakistan's pace attack and it's not really inspiring.. Adil looks good but there's no penetration of the olden days.. Underwhelming

forget the old days, this is what we haven now :(
 
Ok serious stuff now:

Steyn didnt bowl for SA and kiwis just killed their bowlers and people keep making fun of Pakistan who are mising so many key bowlers..
 
Imagine if YK or Misbah had been 1 off 15 balls.

Pakpassion would have crashed...
 
What were management thinking not to give Adil new ball vs NZ? Ridiculous. He seems to have control of the ball and hitting his spots.

Tbh our bowling attack is on par with India these days.
 
24-1 after 8.

If this was PAK batting, we'd have hundred threads saying Shehzad is being selfish etc.
 
Zimbos currently giving phainty of their life to SL :p Masakadza and Taylor partnerships 108 runs at an RR of 6 lol Malinga 29 in 4 overs i think SL played him in hurry he is not ready

Zombies are showing some serious threats to all teams, their bowling against Nz, now their batting.

You are an educated person.. I'm sure you understand the difference.

YK and Misbah are senior batsman.

You allow leeway for youngsters who are dynamic.

Missing Amir, Asif, Junaid and Irfan. Even we can't find quality pacers quicker than we are losing them.

Of course I do.

A player is a player.

If he is 40 or 20 ... he is playing for the team.
 
Sohail Khan is absolute trash, with all due respect. It is good that Ehsan Adil seems to have found some form because we can have a decent attack if him, Irfan, Riaz, Yasir and Afridi play together.
 
I've come to the conclusion our bowling attack is fine.

Only problem is Sohail Khan. I'd swap him for Sami ASAP
 
I think, he won't be playing any match in the WC unless any one of our 4 bowlers gets injured.
 
Sohail Khan 5 overs 0-27

Adil 4- overs 0-5 ...

Clearly the difference is glaring.

they are trying, playing him in this game after that cramp, training him very hard too, but this guy is a rockstar and not getting injured.
 
Wow after Shoaib Akhtar now Shoaib Malik damaad ji is in hindi commentary box too for Star Sports. India please keep him there we dont need him back in the team after WC

so now adil wil also become trash because of these 2 boundries ??
people always love to judge bowlers by 4,or 5 overs.
 
Has Adil booked his place for Sundays encounter. I think he just may have... so it would be Irfan, Wahab and Riaz, Afridi.... The 5th bowler could really cost us the game if we go with Haris Sohail as 5th bowler...
 
Adil has decent pace, hovers around 135-140kph. Decent control as well. Sohail khan has neither, pathetic.
 
Sohail Khan 5 overs 0-27

Adil 4- overs 0-5 ...

Clearly the difference is glaring.

and now adil 5 overs 17 i think,
and 10 overs 55 or 60. you'll see.
2,3 overs don't make difference.
when they will bowl 10 overs,than we can calculate difference.
dont know why people give their final verdicts by just watching 3,4 overs.
 
i think he is holding his pace,
though he he delivered 140.4, 139, 138

Hv u seen him bowl ever? He is clearly maxing out. Stop trying to cover up. If there is any quality it does'nt stay hidden . stop being the devil's advocte. They r useless trundlers bowling on a pitch with life

Thats why I will go with

Irfan
Adil
Wahab
Yasir/ Rahat depending on the pitch

No. He bowled a poor ball that could have been easily avoided and the second was a good shot. Sohail Khan hasn't had one spell of quality at the big stage so far which is a pity because I was actually excited to see him.

He also got smashed around in one of the practice/tour matches.

So true Bullet Drive.

It's fine to play yourself in as long as you look to accelerate once you have. Just playing a long innings plodding on without attacking (or expecting guys new at the crease to do the attacking) isn't great, nor is it really good to go uber aggressive at the start so that you lose your wickets (by all means punish the bad balls, but don't look to dispatch the good balls when you're new to the crease, you'll likely get out).

and Adil was smashed twice in ODIS,
am not saying adil is trash, nor sohail khan is trash.
what i am saying, judge the bowlers for complete 10 overs.
than analyze.
now what if in next 5 overs adil give 40 runs? than every one comments will be changed,
 
thats why am watching ptv sports

Humaare cable waale generator on nae ker rahe so none of the cable channels are working :( so watching star hindi on internet and listening to kapil paa ji shoaib malik and akash chpora at the moment although i will prefer kapil with akhtar
 
Thats why I will go with

Irfan
Adil
Wahab
Yasir/ Rahat depending on the pitch
That means Younis khan would have to make way for the 5th bowler and we all know its not going to happen, dropping Younis khan is beyond team mgt. Younis khans inclusion really disturbs the team balance for me.... your thoughts on it ?
