Ramiz was the main reason for zahid's injury problems.
Akhtar himself said he had not seen a faster bowler than zahid.
why?
Raja was the captain and he told Zaid to bowel but Zaid said he has an injury and can't bowel but Raja forced him to bowel and his injury got the better of him.
Yup. We lost a bowler who along with akhtar would have ruled the world.what a pity.
He bowled around 90-95 MPH at Best.
He is a bit overrated as far as speed is concerned.
Akhtar from 2001-04 was easily the quickest bowler, just by watching him bowl you could tell.

At what point of the match was this mentioned?
When Irfan was using his Pace, Tony even mentioned that Irfan and Zahid both are from same city Gagu Mandi...I was surprised how come he remember the name Gagu Mandi...

Zahid is on record for saying that he was touring New Zealand with the Pakistan u19 team in 1995 and he was still a few months away from turning 19. Pakistan played a couple of test matches and some one day games on that tour. During one of the matches at Wellington where speed guns were fitted He clocked 100mph a few times. No other bowler was getting close to that speed and it even made the papers the next day. Zahid still has those newspaper clippings with him.
As senior New Zealander who is aware of this ? Please share
Zahid said that the fastest he think he ever bowled was in a side game against New Zealand A where he says he only got 7 wickets but 7,8 catches were dropped of his bowling. Might be the slip cordon could not sight the ball ?
Is any player of new Zealand team who played that side match is on record of saying anything about Zahid's pace ?
When even Saleem Malik the senior most player personally talked to Ramiz that Zahid is injured he had a whiplash injury prior to match so don't bowl him further let him go out of the field why Ramiz did not listen to Zahid and Sameen and said don't worry it's just a niggle you will be fine. Carry On.
Ramiz is such an intellectual ?
Amir came back after two stress fractures of back and bowled more fast so did Cummins and Milne. So has the treatment of stress fracture evolved within last 20 years ? Why Zahid could not recover despite getting treatment from England? What was the difference in his case and Amir,Milne and Cummins case ?
Bowling 100 mph at U-19 level is an unbelievable ability if true.
Please contribute.
Meh. Srinath was faster.
That sarcasm just killed me
Also, the recent ODI between Sri Lanka and West Indies - Ian Bishop stated that Dushmantha Chameera reminded him of Muhammad Zahid the extreme quick pace bowler from Pakistan in the Late 90's.
That was actually so nice to hear ... Man, I still miss Zahid's run up.
Just imagine an under 19 cricketer bowling 100mph . Just incredible mind-blowing.
Zahid was defiantly the fastest bowler i have ever seen. No doubt about it. And ive seen a few.
Shoaib and Lee come second.
Meh. Srinath was faster.
Not sure about fast but Srinath was a better bowler than Zahid.

Stupid thing to say as Zahid wasn't able to play much coz of injury. The only thing Zahid is referred to is his speed, had he played long enough he would have been compared to other bowlers.
Srinath was the best ever Indian pacer and should be compared to other Indian pacers.

I didnt start the comparison. Read post # 41
He did come back but he was never the same, largely down to the fact that the injury was not treated properly and Zahid was left to his own devices by PCB.
lol...Indians are commenting about FAST bowlers...
As usually some bitter comments from the neighbours.
Go away and have some Diwali fun guys...
Which comment you found bitter? That Srinath was better bowler than Phasst Zahid? Its a fact.
As far as poor comment is concerned, read post#41 and get some perspective who started. But I know you will ignore it.
And yes we may never had express FAST bowlers but we always have few Ajay Jadeja's ready for all Waqar Younises you can dish out![]()
Shoaib was bouncier, Zahid had more air speed. Bunch of paindus like Ramiz ruined Zahid's career before his body even matured.

The pont of this post was ?
As for who started it I've gone through almost every post.
Now coming to your last point about Jadeja, sure Vicky had bad QF but how many times afterward he was embarrassed by latter, more specifically in Sharjah. And btw how many times did Jadeja repeated his QF show again Waqar?
Nobody remembers these ODI's unless something dramatic happens (Eg JM Last ball 6 or Rajesh Chauhan hitting Saqlain for 6 in the last over ) . Waqar taking the wicket of Jadeja isnt a earth shattering event.
Not sure about fast but Srinath was a better bowler than Zahid.
Oh really. then what happened in QF isnt an earth shattering event too.
Shoaib was bouncier, Zahid had more air speed. Bunch of paindus like Ramiz ruined Zahid's career before his body even matured.
I once heard Ramiz saying that Zahid bowled a super fast spell at him at domestic level (Ramiz was returning from an international tour) and that he had never faced anything like that before. The keeper was standing way back and collecting everything above his head. May be something happened that day?
Dravid hadn't earned the name 'The Wall' back then but still, amazing delivery to get a talented young up coming batsman out .

Don't know but Ramiz was captain in Sri Lanka when Zahid was forced to bowl despite back pain.
I won't solely blame it on Ramiz but the whole group of selfish idiots from PCB management to the players. I'm sure Zahid wasn't the only career they ruined.
Anyway, I don't wanna dwell on the past now. It was just a passing comment.
Funny thing is it's a A Pakistani who took an Indian name.
I wasn't specifically talking about this incident but the overall ignorance of PCB on managing genuine fast bowlers especially at a young age and the jealousy of seniors who didn't want youngsters taking their spots.Don't put it on others. Zahid said let me go off the field . Sakun malik advised Ramiz Raja not to bowl Zahid. Team management pcb weren't involved. Ramiz's ans was don't worry keep bowling it's just a niggle you ll be fine soon.
Ramiz didn't have sense that apart from shoaib and Zahid he had not seen such a quick bowler in his last 20 years so how to treat him irrestive of match state ?
Koi worldcup final nai horaha tha k partnership break kero tou can win worldcup.
Now he criticises others etc as if a great intellectual and cricketing brain. Wasim was sick so Ramiz was captain for one match and look what he did:'(
I am wondering how he managed to generate so much pace with such a lanky frame. I have always wondered how Sami, Zahid etc were able to generate so much pace. Akhtar/ Waqar at least looked to have strong upper body/ shoulders.
He had signed with Nottinghamshire County that season. He went to England immediately after getting injured and His county offered him to be treated at UK on their cost.(They might have players insured)
When Zahid told PCB that he has been diagnosed with stress fractures of back the chairman pcb majid khan said they won't bear the treatment cost at UK and he should come back to Pakistan and PCB doctors will check him and see what the problem is and than they will see whether he should be treated here or abroad .
While all this was happening Zahid was advised that wasting time and travelling would worsen his injury further so he better get treated immediately through his county contract and you never know whether PCB will pay for his treatment later or not .
Now I don't know Zahid made the right choice or whether pcb was right than.
Shouldn't the PCB have withdrawn the NOC for playing county cricket on medical grounds ?
And I am perplexed that so many players have returned after stress fractures of back but it is said that with Zahid the issue was back got stiff and flexibility of back decreased and after few overs it used to get more stiff. What can be the reason ? Was there slight minor disc dislocation too ? Or Ramiz asking Koi nai Koi nai shabash jaan maar it's just a niggle resulted in degradation of vertebraes of his back ?
Immense loss for us.
I hope Zahid you are reading:'(

Zahid Bowled a total of 52 overs in that entire tour of Sri Lanka which covers 2 test matches and a warm up match. Akhtar has bowled as many as 25 overs in one innings in one test match.
Not sure why Ramiz is being blamed for Zahid's career ending injuries. Waqar in an interview long back during his playing days had mentioned that Zahid had a very stressful, demanding action and it would be very tough for him to stay fit with that bowling action.
Even Shoaib Akhtar has said Zahid did not manage himself properly and should have worked hard in the Gym to strengthen his back muscles.
