Azhar and team management have converted most of the bowlers into bowling machines

It's sad that even a team like England outguns us in the spin department. Never thought I'd see that day.

No more chuckers allowed, and suddenly the supply of spinners stop from our side.

Shows a lot about our spinners scene.
 
Shaheen trundling in at around 80mph...

We’ve become a team of trundlers, both batting and now even the bowling..
 
Bowlers not showing any imagination!! Where are the Yorkers? Where is the search for late swing? What’s with these back of length ball after ball? What happened to the fuller length??

Aik ball Yorker ya full length nahi karaye pacers ne!! It’s terrible

This.

Bowling coach has no clue of a proper bowling strategy. They have just become bowling machines, bowling at the wrong time with the wrong tactics.
 
Waiting for Arthur to remind us that we are a proud team and we hate losing.

But but Azhar Mahmood is a legend bowling coach.

Has great credentials of coaching multiple international teams.
 
Even Shaheen isnt bowling like he usually does.
What has happened to our bowlers.
 
Do these commies get an extra £ everytime they mention the Bollywood ipl . Good catch by Fakhar
 
Yasir just seems really short of confidence for LOI cricket and it seems quite harsh to keep on sleecting him over and over again.
Is it only me or Pakistani bowling is looking completely toothless today. Is the wicket so flat or the bowlers are looking very flat. The body language looks very negative for a team that is supposed to play a cricket World Cup in few weeks
 
Excellent catch. Unlucky Bairstow, could have hit it anywhere.
 
Bowling has been regressing for many years now ever since Ajmal got banned

Don't know why pundits still think our bowling is great

Australia, England, India, South Africa and New Zealand all have better attacks
 
Lucky Shaheen. He was bowling the same length, ball after ball without any innovation.

Poor throws, lack of intent in the field. Just going with the flow. This pakistan team is the lowest i have seen in recent times. And you dont get wickets with such attitude. The pace is in low 80s. And all the claims of the coaching staffs have been proved ridiculous. On top of that, Imam ul Haq, what potato fitness he has to field inside the circle.

bro, Don't you think he isn't good enough to open the bowling right now?

He has been our best pacer for a while, but he is bowling very slowly at the moment. I hope he is not hiding an injury.
 
All the matches since SA T20s alone ask for resignation of Azhar Mehmood atleast.

Slows it down a touch . . pitches it up! already has a better over . . slow it down even more!! Go closer to the Kuldeep and Rashid mode of bowling

Yes he needs to flight the ball and bowl fuller at a slower pace - around 70-75 kph . Will do much better .
 
If the idea is to have them all get out caught on the boundaries pulling medium pace short ball, it’s a terrible terrible strategy!
 
People we need in our Cricket.

Wasim Akram, Mushtaq Ahmed, Abdul Razzaq, Younis Khan, Mohmmad Wasim.

People we get

Waqar Younis, Azhar Mehmood, Mohammad Akram

Fakhar and Shadab are great fielders. Something to be happy about.

Bring lots of energy to this otherwise dull side.

I think they save at least 20 runs each game! And take great catches too. Particularly Shadab, brilliant.
 
It will be a massive miracle if we get to the semis. Team looks so flat and we just don't have the players.
 
England are a great batting team. Look at india when they played against England last summer. England were 130-2 playing at over 6.00 run rate. Except for Yasir, i think we’re doing quite decent. Not great, but okayish.
 
Pakistan need Root back in the hut early. He will be 40 in 40 before anyone notices him at the crease.

It’s a flat track .

Pakistan are competing well , others attacks would be going for more against this England batting .

Anyone’s game at present

I disagree.. the lengths are predictable... we haven’t even tried bowling full after the first few overs.. at least bowl or or two Yorkers.. just afraid of getting hit!

Jigra hona chahiey yaar.. you don’t win big games by being timid!
 
We have to realize that on these flat decks, it's only the batting that will save us.

If we want to target the semis, batting needs to fire from the top. Imam needs to strike at 90+ strike rate, or give him some rest.

I would agree with that assessment though playing the likes of Yasir and fumbling run outs doesn't help
 
Loving the lengths Yasir is bowling now though. Give him a slip.. he is going to induce an edge .. watch!! And it’s going to go begging cuz no slip
 
England will have a great run all summer and in the WC but will fail when it matters
 
Atlast 87 kph from Shaheen. Looks like our bowlers are taking full over to warm up these days

Imad is successful in T20s but not in ODIs where while he can contain, he's not penetrative enough.

He's about as successful as a non chucking finger spinner can be in ODIs these days. Only wrist spinners are penetrative in ODIs nowadays

I always thought the same but with inclusion of Archer there team has gone a notch above. Now they have 2 genuine wicket takers in Archer and Rashid.
 
Sarfraz should bring in haris to bowl,english batsman struggle against los and hes an good enough bowler.
 
Looks like Sarfaraz is reading my rants... slip is in and so are yorkers.. hurray!!!!

Roy batting at 83 SR. And people blame Imam
Click to expand...

I don’t get this logic. Roy’s career SR is 105, which means today is an anomaly and not the norm. Even now, he will probably smash us eventually if we don’t get him out.
 
where is that Pathan Power, where is that Passion where is that Aaag, This lot seem too soft and demotivated.

Yeah but Imad manages to make a difference in ODI. He slows the RR and puts pressure on the other team, paving the way for other bowlers to take a wicket. He is also good at batting so i’d say he’s pretty important to PAK.
 
Yes yes boys.. this is how you do it... go for the base of the stump.. keep them guessing..
 
Shaheen not bowling the yorkers earlier is out of fear of getting hit. He has started to bowl those at the new batsman Root.
He needs to mix it up rather than being predictable.

You are right ,he just started playing after back injury and as usual our bowlers brought him back in form.
 
Currently important players Pakistan have. If these doesn't play, it makes a big difference.

Imad
Babar
Shadab
Amir
Haris
Shaheen
Hafeez
