Haris Rauf is a serial bottler and runs machine

The statistician Mazhar Arshad mentioned an interesting stat that Haris Raufs bowling average, strike rate and economy rate is much better bowling first in comparison to bowling second. If the team management selects him and if he has to bowl in the second innings then they need to get his overs out of the way early.
 
Stop picking players with "Haris" in their name

-14 points lol That too 10 points from his batting. Head and shoulders above

Yes.

I also observed this.

It seems like too much pressure make him leak runs. He can't handle pressure.
 
Rauf gets unnecessary hate from PCT fans and legends because they all want him to be something he isn't. His captains use him in powerplay and at death where he regularly gets smashed. Guys like Akram keep nagging that he doesn't play FC cricket.

He is an express back of a length quick that should bowl within overs 7-16. He is excellent at that job and will have highest success rate. Especially on wkts which have good carry he will be very hard to get away from back of a length for boundaries when rhythm is on.

Shaheen got thrashed in the first two outings. Last match once Abhishek was gone Shaheen felt a sigh of relief.

Dude there are only 20 overs in t20. Powerplay is 6, death is 4-5 overs. That leaves around 9 overs in the middle.

You want captain to bowl a bowler on a trot for 4 overs in the middle with no flexibility whatsover? The captain then has to change the other 4-5 bowlers around him completely.

And middle order is when spinners bowl most but you want a pacer there?

This is like wasting 10 overs in batting because you want to accommodate a tuk tuk batsman.

No captain wants a fast bowler who cannot bowl both in power play and death. He will be forced to bowl main spinners in powerplay and death. Will destroy the entire balance of the team.

Everyone wants to bowl 7-16 because that is the time when teams generally consolidate

There are much better options to do that job than Rauf.
 
When a fast bowler falls over in his follow thorough every time he bowls you have to say there’s something wrong there, and what’s with blowing his fingers after each ball as well?! Every good spell by him is ruined by three terrible ones!
 
Every one in pakistan is a bottler..good that all Shaheen overs are completed by 16th..if not he would have leaked runs instead of Rauf.. Faheem Ashraf bowled well in the match, but again, in the next match when India play with Pakistan, he will be in poor form and may not be in the team also.. every player in pakistan will have one or two good match against India, however ultimately they will end up bottling in one of the crucial matches played against India..No point singling out Rauf only..
 
He has poor nerves. Can't handle high pressure games and has a big sample size for it now for him to be out of the team for future big games.

Mazhar Arshad has a habit of presenting a half baked half hidden stories. The guy believes Azam Khan is the best middle order batter in Pakistan. And he's been on it for over 3 years now.
 
He bowls quick but gun barrel straight unfortunately, which is easy for high calibre batsmen to dispatch. Pakistan need to move on from him and give bowlers with a higher ceiling a chance such as Abbas Afridi.
 
Yeah. Haris has been a huge disappointment. He really should not be bowling death overs at crunch moments.. He not good enough for that....
 
Haris Rauf is not a bowler. Even that LQ guy Dilbar Hussain was better than him. PCB should get rid of him ASAP.

Sadly, that's not something I am so sure about. The pool of talent for Pak is bone-dry

Funnily enough, Abbas Afridi could have been a good selection for those slow UAE pitches. He has some hitting ability with the bat too. But instead Pak went with Salman Mirza because I guess he bowled really well on doctored Bangaldeshi pitches? Eventhough he was playing the same role in that side as Shaheen and was never going to play over him. Even if Shaheen got injured they would have selected Hasan Ali.

Pak should go with horses for courses approach. But pak is never known for the pragmatism. always believes in magical moments ala akram/imran kind of phoenix stuff.so always big names are preferred over reasonable ones.
 
Three years since we first saw the real glimpse of our run machine
===
✅ 3 years of India's unbelievable win over 🇵🇰
✅ 3 years of 'Kohli goes down the ground'
✅ 3 years of the greatest ever T20I knock
 
Ok wow.

Salute Mike Hesson!

Haris Rauf not only retained in T20s but also called back for ODIs!!!!

Enjoy.
