Is Wahab Riaz a bad bowler?

if juni was bowling yorkers.. asad can bowl yorkers so where were his yorkers.. what kind of a death specialist is this guy.
 
Wahab hasn't improved one iota since his debut in England, he still bowls as if he's wearing a blindfold. I don't want to see him bowl for Pakistan again.
 
He is a confidence bowler, just like Sami. Not saying that he is bad , but he sprays balls everywhere on the pitch. A flying slip should be positioned for his deliveries at all times.

Such a sprayer this guy..why does he spray so much..oh good God....
 
Is Wahab Riaz an Awful Bowler?

He has been utilised poorly but I have seen no improvement from Wahab in terms of bowling. Has he improved his bowling since his yorker v Yuvraj? No.

You could almost say that he's extremely excitable and his excitement caused him to spray all over the place
 
Where is Wahab Lawyer (alberto) today he should appear in our court today...
 
wahab doesnt deserve automatic selection in xi at least....even umar amin can be played in his place
 
I never saw the last over but it amazes me that people would prefer Abdul Razzaq, Asad Ali etc

Wahab bowled with hostility in the middle overs and was very good.

A bad last over in a game that isn't a World Cup is really not a big deal. Saeed disappeared for a number v Narine and our batsmen were again woefully short.

How long before you realise that Pakistan have by far the best odi attack but the batting is the real area of concern. We aren't scoring 250 these days and that is not enough to win most games.

The only hope for 2015 is of our batting starts scoring more heavily.

Too many agendas attacking invididual players when the batting side of Pakistan is clearly a problem. When is the last time a Pakistani batsman other than Jamshed scored an ODI hundred?

That is something which you all need to answer.

Pakistan cricket was at its best when we had batsmen who could score 100s. No most of them are incapable of doing so. With the advent of t20s, batting has become even more important.

bad control. cant bowl yorkers, cant swing,cant seam. pace is not 170kph that we would say extraordinary. should be taken out from the last two matches.

who the hell wants him back? if we have a better bowler then him then why not. if we are the best ODI attack then we cant have exposed weakness of death. we need two fast bowlers at death... we have juni but wahab is too inconsistent.

Asad Ali looks like he can bowl accurate yorkers in the death overs. I'd like another look at him, pace isn't everything.
 
We need to prepare any other bowlers now for our LOI.. he should never play for Pakistan again.. he has had enough chances now

I said this at the start of the match why Junaid replaced Asad.. Wahab was the one he should be replaced with Junaid
 
We should have stick with Asad Ali in this series instead of Wahab...

Someone in this thread mentioned Razzaq.
 
Like I said in the pre-game discussion thread:

Drop Riaz. Play Junaid. :facepalm: at people writing off Asad Ali after 3 games. The guy bowled well at the death and has a very good ER so far. Have some patience. Wickets will come too. Riaz on the other hand has been hopeless for a year or so. His brain doesn't know where his hand is gonna bowl. Wayward full tosses which due to his pace end up going to the boundary, generous pies wide outside off stump, etc. has become his repertoire so to speak.

If Pakistan is to pose a serious challenge to India and England in 2015 down under, our batting must step up and Wahab Riaz and Irfan must play.

This is a random odi series: best to build towards the World Cup. One cannot win everytime not have the desired outcome everytime. However, finding ourselves in tough situations repeatedly will eventually result in us thriving in them.

If Wahab performs well next game people will say Im happy he performed well. He's the kind of bowler we need down under.

Be patient. Everybody wants repeated choppin and changing- are you aware of what it does to the team?
 
We have so Much Fast bowling Talent at UN-19 Level
Still playing with Crap bowler like Wahab :(

bring new UN-19 Kid he will do better than Wahab

Mohamamd Aftab is easily better than Wahab raiz

why cant we try another bowler? our bowlers seem to adjust quite quickly. and wahabs inconsistencies are not filling us with confidence. why do we need him to pose challenge to india and england? if anything he is a weaklink in our bowling.
 
A moments silence for Alberto's soul......


Okay done and so is Riaz. Lost all hope now. Asad Ali at least showed he has a brain, if you want a bowler who can slog then try Anwar Ali

He gets good bounce and has pace and looks as though he's just learning to move it around a bit. A lot of the uptight guys will be cannon fodder. Aim is for him to peak in the next 2 years in odis.

next 2 years... we cant afford to have a bowler avg 59 for the next two years... bowling is our only strength and we cant have weak links over there.
 
Gul's death bowling was missed badly.

But dont jump on wahab like this. It was just a bad game for him.

Give him more time. If he doesn't succeed, then he should focus on tests.

just one bad game?


are you kidding me? he has done nothing his whole career other than taking yuvraj singhs wicket.





the guy is a cannon feeder. his line and length are totally erratic and he swings it once every 10 games.




this guy is worse than shoaib akhtar at the end of his career.


i bet shoaib could come back now and still bowl better than wahab. guys a joke. we have lots of fast bowling resources and its time to end this joke of an experiment. let this clown go back to domestic cricket and figure out how to bowl straight and then MAYBE he can come back if we are really desperate for fast bowlers.
 
Another chance for Riaz, though i suspect he gets it because of his slogging. It's the opposite of Hafeez
 
We have threads about Umar Gul and Wahab Riaz whether they are awful or not?. How about making one against Ajmal?

:ajmal
 
Very poor bowler. Has no control, it's like a five year old bowling for the first time.
 
As I said once before, he's like a bowler that's releases the latch on a pressure cooker when not needed.
 
I commented this in the 3rd ODI match thread when Wahab has just bowled his first over.

Wahab has the potential to lose Pakistan this match
Click to expand...

And since then he has left no stone unturned in damaging Pakistan's chances of a win.
 
He's probably lurking around this thread, crossing fingers and everything else he can hoping in hope Wahab performs.

No doubt we'll see him again, if he ever Wahab performs again.
 
Alberto is probably hoping riaz hits a 6 so he can reopen the "wahabs brilliant batting !!!!!" Thread.

Regardless of what he scores he should be dropped, he isn't worth the runs he slogs
 
and once again he shows he is not right for us.... time to try another bowler... there are many bowlers we can try so makes no sense in giving him chances.
 
those comments :)))
team is surrounded by mediocrity

i agree with the other posters here - to be fair i think the pcb have been fair to him, theyve given him plenty of chances, and to be fair to him, the last time he was dropped he went back to the domestic circuit and performed (from memory) - so no issues either way so far.

just going forward, he has no place playing international cricket. if he hasnt fixed his accuracy by now its unlikely he ever will.
 
Misbah has high hopes from Wahab it seems; he seems to be getting more chances than he deserves
 
This guy is definite a Sami number 2. The negatives out way the positives we should cut our losses and try someone else.

If you want just a good bowler then give Asad Ali a run
If you want a decent bowler who can bat well then pick Anwar Ali

If all else fails try Gul again and see if his break has done him any good
 
I knew someone would bring up the dropped catch, well guess what : tough . He is 28 isn't a kid and if a dropped catch is his excuse for bowling crap than he doesn't have it to play international cricket. Look at the 5th odi against SA. Junaid had AB dropped early on the game by YK. Did he bowl filth for the rest of the game ?

No


Besides Riaz does this anyways
