Ghulam Mudassar's action change after working with Aqib Javed

[LordJames]

A few days ago I heard Dr Nauman Niaz say that Ghulam Mudassar has changed his action and is now slower.

A day later Ghulam Mudassar said in the Interview that he has been working extensively with Aqib Javed on his action.

Did anyone else catch that? I never saw this kid bowl before so I am asking:

1. How has Ghulam Mudassar's action changed?
2. How much pace has he lost due to it?
3. Why was his action changed?

 

[Syed1]

If he has been working with Aqib Javed then Ghulam's career has ended before it even began. Unfortunate for the kid.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Aaqib is not a good coach. He should be fired.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

The kiss of death or should I say Aaqibs ego has hit him then

 

[DRsohail]

hahah he has gone wild..clearly his pace is down now..

 

[Chief Destroyer]

He's more side-on but not getting the same extension in the load up. Now he's solely relying on the final arm whip to generate pace.

 

[yasir]

Aaqib is generally a fast bowler killer. He messes up many, in recent past. Waqar or Shoiab should lead in that role, they can make a guy bowl fast, correct the right stuff, not slow him down

 

[Fahdi]

Aqib Javed and changing actions. The love story continues

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Ghulam's action did need refining. Going side-on was necessary but now he has to work on that load up. Can't be dropping the lead arm so quickly and relying solely on the bowling arm and he has to increase the distance between them(as was prior to the change) to lengthen the arm-path. He should be looking to emulate Starc in that regard.

 

[Ellipsism]

He's easily lost 5-6 km/h.

Inna lillah perh lou iss k career pe unless a miracle happens.


His action was quite complicated. His fitness and strength needed improvement. That's it.


Without the aid of Biomechanists or human movement expert his action shouldn't have been tinkered with be it be any Coach.

 

[Speedster777]

Aqib Javed has not groomed even a single fast bowler. why isn't he fired?

 

[Speedster777]

Need to run a campaign to warn all fast bowlers in domestics to stay away from Aqib.

Not just Fast Bowler Killer, Career killer of anyone he works with, period!

Aqib def seems to think nothing of both those, been successfully killing careers since the mid 2000's, list is getting pretty decently long now!

I agree. Its his addiction and hobby to play with actions. His next shikaar prey will be Ehtisham Sultan. [MENTION=141390]Ellipsism[/MENTION]

PCB were about to sign him as a coach after WY.... MICKEY spoiled Aaqib's party and saved pak...

He is the director for LQ... Aaqib's bowling action was very simple, not sure on back of what he is changing bowling actions of players just randomly....

Every young bowler should pray that he must not get selected for LQ and also should avoid going for the trials conducted by them...

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Why is Aaqib destroying the tiny amount of talent we have these days?

 

[Hasan123]

Keep Aaqib away from young fast bowlers. Seems to make unnecessary changes.

The changes he made in Ghulam's case were necessary. Remember, Aqib hasn't finished work with Ghulam, meaning there is a possibility that he will regain his lost pace.

 

[Ellipsism]

Ehtisham has been working with Aqib for over a month now and thus far he's done well and made some good progress.

Ehtisham isn't collapsing as much and is now bracing his front leg.

What changes need to be made?

Chief has already highlighted it above.

Favourite sentence from CD's book.

 

[moghul]

How does Aqib get these head coach's job ? Lets give him to India before Champion Trophy, that would be our only hope against India . Yadev, Kumar all need their action corrected, Aaqib can help.

 

[LordJames]

He still looks fairly quick

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Serial Action Changer at it again Somebody fire this incompetent hack already !!!

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Doctor & Waseem discussing Ghulam's change of action and losing pace.

They hinted at the guy behind it.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Ghulam has been more accurate since his action change. Also gets more wickets. I guess people here dislike Aaqib that much that anything he says or does is evil automatically.

He is not bowling as fast as previously. Previously he swung the ball back into right handers while pitching it up. Now he is unable to do that.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

It might take time to get used to the modifications. Aaqib gives suggestions to help some bowlers to become less injury prone. He doesnt totally change their action. Now he has a chance to become something in the long run.

Anyway time will tell. But these days he is pretty consistent with the ball.

His Action was so complicated that it shouldn't have been tinked with at all. Just his head position should have been worked at which is totally ignored.


Such actions are modified scientifically through experts in high performance centres. We neither have centres nor the machines or human resource so there is absolutely no justification for Hit and Trial methodology with a teenager.


I respect your opinion but I see the same accuracy with drop in pace and absense of swing. Results are more or less similar but these were batsman heaven wickets.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Don't agree with Doc Nauman completely but he said that previously he could hit 145 and now he is 135 kph.

I would say his fastest previously looked 142 143. Now his bouncers look as quick as before but pitchef up deliveries are atleast 5 kph slower and swing is gone.

They haven't changed much, just made him more side-on. The drop in pace is due to less extension. His arms are closer together and he's just whipping through without extending much at the crease. He's got to lengthen the distance between his arms but instead of the torso opening up as it did previously, he's gotta hold his side-on position. This is definitely possible. Starc is the bowler he should be looking to emulate. He's more whippy than Starc but holding the front arm for a bit longer is what he's lacking.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Ghulam Mudassar's pace is gone completely.

Reason : Non Scientific, random (tuqqa) ways and means of changing bowling Actions.


Barely touching 132 kph now when earlier he was easily clocking between 137 - 144 kph.

 

[Abdullah719]

Why Aqib why

 

[Slog]

If he has been working with Aqib Javed then Ghulam's career has ended before it even began. Unfortunate for the kid.

This!

 

[srh]

Aaqib Javed may feel slighted that his accomplishments were not recognized as much as Wasim Akram's and Waqar Younis's just because those 2 bowlers were faster than him. So now he is taking revenge by turning fast bowlers into medium pacers.

 

[Savak]

TBH not sure if Ghulam Muddasar was ever that fast. But then again we all know the history of Aqib Javed with bowling actions. Mohd Irshad was once touted to be the next Shoaib Akhtar and his early stats in 2003-2005 were very impressive where he was getting 4-5 wicket hauls and was being highly talked about speed wise. For some stupid reason the PCB selectors back then had the mentality the boy needs a few seasons of domestic cricket to mature but end result was Aqib Javed changing Irshad's action and he was never the same bowler again.

 

[Bewal Express]

I keep reading about Aqib and changing actions story but can we hear from the actual players,or is it just an old wives tale to cover up for the fact that these bowlers aren't good enough to make it.

 

[King-Misbah]

So if a bowlers action is changed and it isn't as effective then surely the bowler after some time can revert back to his old action :s Wouldn't his old action be more natural to revert back to.

 

[Chokli]

lol i wouldn't put it past him, humans are just something else.

 

[Oneking]

I think the question was from people who have seen him before and after
All we see is criticism towards Aqib,

 

[Ahson8]

I thought his pace was down today but he bowled with a lot more control. When he had pace his line and length was terrible but this wasn’t the way to fix it. Looks like Aqib might have messed up another bowler.

 

[arehaan]

I am more worried about Shaheen Afridi under Aaqib. This guy is a proven talent killer and Afridi had a horrific first day outing. Too much Aaqib is bad for self growth. He is as useless as it gets the sooner Lahore gets rid of him the better.

 

[Sher Khan]

One Thing I have noted is he has improved his control over line and length. We don't need a spraygun. We had wahab for that. So his new action is fine and he looked comfortable with it.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Tbh he never looked like that he could hit 90 mph plus.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

What's wrong with Ghulam Mudasser?

He steams in and got a heavy demanding action and it's looks like he will deliver every bowl over 145ks yet he hardly crosses 130ks. Seems very Weird to the naked eye.

He supposed to be 135k-140k bowler but now turn in to weird trundler.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Who is responsible for all of this?

 

[ritzy_123]

Ian pont type of coach can resolve this issue not someone like Aqib to be honest

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Glad he is not a spray gun any more and is a thinking bowler, it's just a matter of time he fixes his technical issues and become consistent 140k bowler soon.

 

[Savak]

This is the guy who was touted as a 140-145 km/hr prospect. Not sure whether Aqib really changed his action that much but it is embarrassing to see him race, put in so much effort, force into such a whippy action only to bowl 125-132 km/hr half trackers which players are easily able to dispatch to the boundary. On what basis is this guy selected? He doesn't swing or seam the ball, his line and length is all over the place and he gets whacked very easily.

Quetta's fortunes changed for the better in 2019 when they dropped him for Hasnain in the PSL and he was the worst bowling choice for Sindh in the Quarter final.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Sad to see that he just gone down the hill for some unknown reasons.

 

[in_cutter]

Awful bowler. Another one from the PP hype brigade.

 

[MenInG]

Promoted to first XI for Quaid-e-Azam Trophy

 

[Savak]

Promoted to first XI for Quaid-e-Azam Trophy

At this point, he clearly looks like a ********
