What's new

Has Junaid Khan filled the void Mohammed Amir left behind?

Now both are in the playing 11, along with Hassan. Let's see, as to what the trio can do.
 
Stats don't do justice to this comparison, especially when you consider the 5 year age gap.

You had to watch both bowl to realize Amir was a level above Junaid.

Junaid is a good persistent bowler who doesn't possess much skill. He is pretty much like Siddle.

Amir had Wasim level skill with the ball and the knack of bowling magical deliveries.

He was a once in a generation bowler while Junaid is a very good bowler.

Pretty good bowlers, all three. But they need to up their fitness and become proper athletes. I reckon Amir might be superceded by Junaid if he doesn't being his A game more often. However, Amir's mercurial performances have for sure granted him the status of being one of the elite bowlers in world cricket.
