Mohammad Rizwan the trend setter?

[MenInG]

No regular pads as a wicket-keeper!

I suppose helps him being agile - more things for Sarfraz to note

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

He is wearing them under his pants

 

[Hawkeye]

He is wearing them under his pants

Yeah.

And struggling a lot while keeping, don't come across as a natural keeper. Best we keep him in the field.

 

[MenInG]

Those arent regular pads? He isnt struggling at all! Excellent stumping

 

[Major]

Not possible. The reason why players wear pads is because the knee is the most sensitive area. One hit on the knee, and you are crippled for the rest of your life.

Maybe he is wearing under the trouser

 

[Stallion__]

He is wearing the ones short leg or other closing fielders wear, beneath trousers.

Watch the game

 

[Asif321]

looks a fielder not a keeper

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Have heard a lot of people saying that he is a horrible keeper or so but looks absolutely fine to me

 

[MenInG]

looks a fielder not a keeper

Based on what?

Excellent run out throw

 

[Bullet Drive]

Superb athlete.

World class fielder, and a great keeper too.

How has he struggled? Not a single mistake all day.

 

[Major]

if he is not wearing pads, then this guy must be crazy and PCB should fine him for this act.

Apparently he is risking his career this way.

collection , his movements

Dont think a hit, even on the knee ,off a spinner is as serious as you are trying to make it out to be.

 

[Major]

it is serious. Knee is very sensitive area. And they are no playing with tennis balls either. At the end of the day, dint a bail injured Boucher?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Yeah.

And struggling a lot while keeping, don't come across as a natural keeper. Best we keep him in the field.

thats because he isnt, took up keeping very late. I have said from the start that Rizwans keeping isnt much better then Umar's. There is a reason why Adnan is preferred over him on domestic level. As a batsman he has a future as a keeper not really

 

[MenInG]

What did he struggle with? Not sure which game we are all watching!

 

[FreakCricket]

sorry but he was wearing pads underneath his pants, was easily visible.

 

[A-1]

Quinton de Kock did this before rizwan.

oh and They wear pads underneath.

 

[Bilcha01]

Wear the pads underneath. I agree, Sarfraz should keep and Rizwan should patrol the boundary with his agility.

 

[#GreenRoars]

I think it was started by ABDV

 

[Pace90]

Rizwan is already a good keeper, he is a natural athlete, with very good reflexes and a quick learner. He has the talent to become a top notch keeper.

 

[MenInG]

South Africa and Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper-batsman, Quinton De Kock does not wear the external leg pads while keeping wickets and instead wears the internal smaller pads. One of the most consistent batsmen in IPL and world cricket, De Kock was seen without his regular-sized external leg pads while keeping and it has very interesting to find the reason behind it.

De Kock did not play in the first game for Mumbai as he had to be quarantined after returning from the series against Pakistan. Chris Lynn made his debut for Mumbai in his place and scored a good knock of 49 off 35 balls. De Kock was available for the second game and Mumbai had no second thoughts in replacing in-form Chris Lynn with De Kock, but De Kock was dismissed for just 2 runs off 6 deliveries against KKR.

Quinton De Kock’s method of wearing internal small pads inside the pants instead of the external leg pads has helped him in many ways. It has bettered his movement and agility behind the stumps and has also increased the possibilities of effecting a run-out. The law does not mention that it is compulsory for the keeper to wear external leg pads.

It has also reduced a lot of byes and leg byes for his franchise with his comfortable movements and has facilitated him to go for some difficult catches that aren’t possible to be taken with the external pads which have some limitations. The numbers have been very good for Quinton De Kock behind the stumps as he has taken 47 catches and effected 13 stumps and also has the highest dismissal per game ratio of 1 among all the wicket keepers.

Fashion To Wear Internal Pads

Indeed, it has become a fashion for the wicket keepers to wear internal pads instead of the regular external leg pads. We have already seen in the women’s cricket when England wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor was wearing shin pads and it did happen in the IPL before with Heinrich Klassen when he used to play for the Rajasthan team. One of the greatest wicket keepers of all time, MS Dhoni has experimented in the World Cup too.

Unless it is under the laws and has been very effective, certainly the keepers will have thoughts of changing their traditional way into wearing internal pads.

This was in 2015

So we knew that the potential was there...

 

[ChTab]

Pakistan really wasted at least 3 years of Rizwan, he should've been in the playing XI in 2018 when Sarfraz started to play poorly.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan really wasted at least 3 years of Rizwan, he should've been in the playing XI in 2018 when Sarfraz started to play poorly.

Agree. He is going to be Pakistan's next great batsman after Babar. Really don't understand why he wasn't given more credit after scoring back to back centuries for Pakistan a couple of years ago.

 

[shamaan]

World class wicket keeper batesman

 

[GudduBadmash]

What a guy, what a player

 

[trickyone]

PCB should start using Rizwan as a poster boy instead of Baber (His image has been tarnished after that scandal).

 

[zn426]

Sarfraz wasn't going to get dismissed the year after winning the champions trophy. That's not done in any sport.

 

[Ramsay]

PCB should start using Rizwan as a poster boy instead of Baber (His image has been tarnished after that scandal).

Which scandal?

 

[trickyone]

Which scandal?
