Moeen Ali - Poor man's Shahid Afridi?

[minamino]

He has been playing race card recently so I decided to check his stats to see whether he is justified or not in believing that. I was surprised to see his stats in every format. His stats are almost Afridi level bad. At least Afridi could be the game changer on his day but Moeen Ali has been disappointing more often than not.

Average of 25 in batting and 48 in bowling in ODI cricket is pretty bad.

Moeen Ali is a very humble and nice person. I highly doubt he would play the race card without justification.

Onto the cricketing side of things, I'm actually watching him bowl as I speak. He bowls very tidy spin and gets good purchase on the ball. He has nearly 200 test wickets for England and you have to be a good bowler to do so.

However, with his batting, when he first came onto the scene I saw him as a flamboyant, stylish player who was a number seven batsmen. The England management have confused him a bit about his role in the team causing the batting average to dip. If England had managed him properly, he would have a Gilchrist - esque batter.

In all, I wouldn't call him a poor man's Afridi as he is his own brand of cricket.

I don't think I am the troll here.

He is a poor cricketer who has a decent game once in a blue moon, and a complete bottler under pressure.

He likes to play victim but it’s funny because his background is the only reason for his popularity. If he was white, he would be a nobody.

He is only slightly better than someone like Liam Dawson, the Zalmi player in PSL, who can’t seem to get any games for England while Moeen at one point was being hyped up as better than Stokes.

Funny thing is that he has played the most matches from his community yet he is the only one who plays victim card. He should learn something from Rashid.

Rashid is a much better spinner, but since he doesn’t whine, he is not allowed to play as many Tests as Moeen.

 

[minamino]

Dawson is a better batsmen but not a better bowler. Rashid is much better bowler than him but almost on par with his batting.

Ok, where did moin state because of his RACE he was made a scapegoat, yes I think he was dropped from the test squad and he was dropped from the test contract list unfairmy, but where is it stated it was to do with his RACE

Moeen Ali took 2 wickets, 1 run-out and bowled a maiden over all in just his first over of the Abu Dhabi T10 League.

One of the worst and most cowardly cricketers I have ever seen. I don’t think he will play for England again but he is famous enough to make a living in franchise cricket.

It is also funny to see him sneak into the IPL every year when far better cricketers than him haven’t had contracts.
