Well, we had to have a good batting day at some point . . unfortunate that it comes through with England batting!
But these are the kinds of days where a bowling group grows . . test of temperament!
All the conversations around Shaheen being useless or Naseem being useless! Garbage! They are extremely inexperienced very young bowlers in their early 20s . . The world is recognizing their talent! Other option is to go back to Wahab Riaz and Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali . . well, they weren't tearing apart batting line ups either! So, this is the best we've got!
Shaheen is clearly extremely talented and is growing all the time . . has to work on old ball skills . .
Naseem is even more raw . . his action/run up and delivery stride has changed since the SL/Bang series which means he's not being able to move the ball and bowling too wide . . There are a few technical issues that can be corrected and should be and it will almost immediately make him more effective . .
If people like Wasim, Holding, Atherton, Nasser, Warne, etc. are talking about his talent, potential, action, etc. . who the hell are we to question their wisdom and knowledge?
If we're expecting him to tear apart this line up and average 3/4 wicekts a match, the problem is us not Naseem!
Trust me, there is no one in the domestic circuit who will come in and do better than him! and he definitely has a high ceiling . . We have to be patient and keep our own expectations in check! Give him 20 tests . . then see how he has developed and where he's at!
Waqar Younis has a job to do!
