Shaheen looks to intentionally cutting down on pace. Maybe the leg-stump rubbish he has served up in the past few games has forced him to concentrate more on his line.

Yet he is still having issues with his line lol

Focus on your studies :)
This is the screenshot of Kusal Perera edging it to the keeper.
Hasan Ali getting a bit of nip
Shaheen hasn't been getting the banana movement that Jansen was getting the other day. He has been struggling to find his line and length (for now)

yup he has been getting beautiful shape with the new ball.i still have doubts over his old ball performance especially against IND and SENA

These abrasive surfaces suit hasan in my opinion. He might still be useful vs sena. Not sure about india. They seem to play him well. I think for India we should bite the bullet, drop hasan and go with ssa rauf and wasim jnr. Have nawaz and shadab as ARs.
 
Shaheen's radar has been all over the place for more than a month now
 
Hasan Ali has been solid with the new ball, his death bowling needs to improve though
 
This is the kind of pitch where Hasan’s pace will get purchase. 130-135 kph is plenty, just need Shaheen to get the line better
 
India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa & England will totally demolish this weak & ineffective Pakistani bowling attack.

Brace yourselves for a total massacre.

Could it be heat? India is a lot hotter than Pakistan. Also humidity.

Could certainly see it being heat, but wouldn’t you expect him to slow down as the innings go on? His second spells have been faster recently, it’s the first spell where he struggles for rhymn.

I'm a design student, we don't have exams for design students in Australia. All our work is practical and done in class. So no need to focus on studies as much since at this point I've already done adobe photoshop, aftereffects, illustrator, Auto CAD, Z brush, Maya and God knows how many other software to death.

I've passed on everything. I just have to attend to fill my quota lol. It's kinda boring when you've completed all projects and just attending class to do nothing but get those participation marks 😂😂😂.

The unfortunate reality of completing things early lol.
 
We really should have picked ihansullah or zaman. One of them for sure should have been selected in the squad.

Might play a small role, but he was doing the same in the Asia Cup under cloud cover.

It has to be his rehab not being good enough to get him to 100%. Shaheen seems to need more work with the physio and in the nets to get back to where he was.
 
Simon Doull making the point that Pakistan have not hit a 6 in the power play this year at all...
 
I'm on leave today, not for the match though but would still be watching ball by ball. Gotta be worth my time!
 
Shaheen can't take the afollow through catch....big miss as it was Mendis

He's not finished. He's just been bowled to the ground because his workload has beeen mismanaged. Remember in last year's WT20, he was nowhere near 100% fit.

I'm still not convinced that he's fully fit at present.

I agree and that’s my point. Unless you manage him and give him time to get back to full fitness you will kill his career. Look at how India managed Bumrah. They kept him completely out and now he’s rehabbed and back to full pace.

As I say that Shaheen’s limping
 
I won't lie, Afridi looks like a trundler right now.

Let's hope a few wickets give him some momentum psychologically.
 
Damning statement by Simon Doull.

Pakistan have faced over 960 balls in the PP without hitting a six. Kusal Mendis hit 8 sixes during the PP in his last game.
 
SSA is bowling poor stuff here. Very bad. Not the one we were hoping for

Again we rushed him most likely.
 
I have become fan of Kusal Mendis. He is giving vibes of Mahela Jayawardena
 
Take Shaheen off, introduce Rauf, and bring back Shaheen for a later spell
 
Feel bad for him he knows he has a reputation of picking up wickets at the start and he knows that's the expectation

Quite a lot of pressure
Especially with no naseem shah, more weight on his shoulders
 
Shaheen needs to be taken off. I'm sure he will come good later. Sometimes you just need a break
 
Shaheen isn’t fit

He shouldn’t be playing. Doing injustice to Pakistan
 
Shaheen's knee is strapped

Doesn't look fit at all, don't see Pakistan qualifying for the semi final
 
The thing about Shaheen is he is a momentum bowler. If he has confidence and gets a couple wickets he can bowl a deadly spell and impose himself. Sometimes it just seems he gets too hard on himself, stiffens up, and his action becomes less fluid.

During these times, Babar should probably go and calm him down.

I don't know why we always rush players. Could have picked anyone else and let him recover to full strength. No point in stressing his knee joint further.
 
Does the ball look like it will spin on this pitch?

Hasan inducing false shots, 3 really close opportunities for catches now
 
The way Mendis is playing, he's scoring runs but he's giving chances as well.
 
At the stadium today, Babar is getting the biggest cheer just like that. He is a superstar here.
 
I am so scared for shaheens knee. What if it buckles. Maybe rest him for the next few games.
 
Man, it's so depressing to see Shaheen trundling around 135 & getting smoked all over the park. He is a bit overhyped at times by the overexcited fangirls, but still used to be a genuine fast bowler not so long ago. It looks awkward to see him with such gigantic frame to bowl at that gentle pace, it suits Hasan but not him. Babar has really spent all his force by overbowling him in must win games against Nepal, Bhutan, Mongolia etc.
