130-132I didn't watch the game , Was he bowling in the high 130s atleast?
What did you think of him130-132
Just bowled 5 overs and has been the best bowler so far, why move on from him so quickly? Give him some timetime to move on from him
But he is bowling at 130-132 on a flat track with minimal movement what to gain? Didn't Muhammad Ali came and vanished too he can do the same what Khurram can do and he was atleast quicker than himJust bowled 5 overs and has been the best bowler so far, why move on from him so quickly?

Atleast he managed to keep the Australian Batters quiet which is not the case with other bowlers.But he is bowling at 130-132 on a flat track with minimal movement what to gain? Didn't Muhammad Ali came and vanished too he can do the same what Khurram can do and he was atleast quicker than him

Best bowler of the lost. While shaheen bowlrd rubbish, khurrum bowled well.What did you think of him
If you know your lines and length and bowl it consisstently, that is good enough.But he is bowling at 130-132 on a flat track with minimal movement what to gain? Didn't Muhammad Ali came and vanished too he can do the same what Khurram can do and he was atleast quicker than him
If you are a 130k bowler you either need extra bounce or need to move the ball extravagantly one way (either coming in or going away) to be successful in Test match cricket otherwise even if you have Mcgrath like accuracy you will end up being a supporting bowler averaging 35+ with the ball.If you know your lines and length and bowl it consisstently, that is good enough.
That is what Asif did. He didnt do wonders with the ball by making it swing from 6th stump. Be consisstent and Khawaja had no clue what to do.
Other bowlers were bowling all over the wicket

that's the difference between someone being picked on merit after grinding in domestic and someone being picked on reputation.He actually did better than I expected. One thing I noted is his line and length is good and shows his done the grinds at FC level.
Shaheen was bowling rubbish on the other end.

He's been brilliant in first class recently was one of the highest wicket takers in the recent FC tournament at an average of 20I'm not sure who is responsible for selection in Pakistan cricket, but the first criteria is picking bowlers who have mastered some of the basic arts, line and length first, then having some skill with the ball and intelligence how to use it.
I haven't seen much of Khurram, but I saw some outswing, and immediately that tells me he has some smarts and can probably use the new ball. He's not really quick enough, but speed with no control is worse than useless.
I think you are too much emphasizing on pace. Shahzad bowled very well today and there was some consistent outswing going on for him. Some sort of movement with in 130s are always better than a 140+ flat trajectory bowlers.Minimal movement at 130k even with deadly accuracy won't going to make you last long in Test cricket specially if your height is 5.9/10
I think he's a good prospect for the third pacer role.
Shaheen
Naseem
Khurram
Let the others attack and he can contain the opposition. He might work better in such a combination and help the others become more effective too.
I always felt in FC he was around 83 or 84mph. I wonder why such a big differenceHe has good control over the new ball. All that is lacking is his pace. He has very low pace.
Pace is a issue he needs to bowling 5-10kph quicker .
Too late at his age. He ain't getting any quicker but I think he is quicker than he has shown this match or is carrying an injuryIf he builds his physique the speed will come.
FC performers will always do better than overhyped 4 over wonders. In any formatHarris rauf is phassst we all know what happened to him this worldcup.

This is a reality check for keyboard experts.FC performers are under rated by fans and its all about 4 over psl bowlers
Sensation?@Mamoon would like to know your views on this new swing sensation?

I think Khurram knows he is a soda bottle, but he has his head down and will continuously try to bowl at the right lengthsSensation?
You can mark him off as another Pakistani soda bottle pacer who makes a loud pop but there is nothing inside.
Yet another bowler who will have mileage for 10-15 Tests only, get injured and then disappear. It is absurd to hope anything from anyone at this point.
I guess constantly being neglected and not seen as flashy enough to represent Pakistan cricket is the best learning curb for all domestic cricketers in Pakistan.I have never seen a Pakistani bowler come in and start troubling a batter line Smith. He got him out both times and it was a proper setup. As if Khurram has been playing Test Cricket for a couple of years.
You are usually right. But I think their is something different about this guy. He has done the hard grinds at the FC level.Sensation?

I hope I am wrong and you are right, but I have zero faith and confidence in Pakistani players. We have not got what it takes and never will.You are usually right. But I think their is something different about this guy. He has done the hard grinds at the FC level.
He bowls the perfect test match line and length and set up Smith in both innings dismissing him twice. Not an easy thing to dismiss the world's best batsmen twice on debut.
Let's see.
Bro, after a very long time we played an actual bowler that had domestic experience and if you watched him bowl, he was very consistent to where he was bowling at.Sensation?

Sad thing is last year he was bowling at 135-142k even though in T20s but now he has slowed down considerably.
