Mustafizur Rahman - Slow death from Satkhira (Performance Watch)

Citizen4 said:
absolutely wrong information. He never bowled even a 140k ball. his effort balls were around 130 and average pace in the 120s.

Pretty embarassing how you had to come up with lies to boast a Bengali player

check this video from 1.50min below you see your own eyes written his fastest 141.6 and average 132.6, I've seen him bowling 144 k, but don't remember now which match it was

Opposite - he doesn't even look like 21, but I do believe he is around 22-23 now. Came to know about the kid in 2013-14 & someone told me that he is genuine 18, which is about 4.5 years back.
 
Really good bowler love watching him, altough I hope in the future he doesnt depends on his offcutters as much and ads swing to his armoury.:wasim

His fastest I have seen is 143.4KM, that's shed below 90mph. But, those could be technical error as well. But, he is indeed capable of reaching 140+ with effort ball even now. Unless it's a green top or hard cracked wicket, extra pace won't help his cutters, hence he doesn't try to bowl fast. If he is completely fit, he'll clock 144KM in CT.
 
He will end up as the undisputed GOAT T20 bowler. Already in the top 5 along with Malinga, Narine, Badree and Bravo.

I call this difference of opinion. He is still young, it wont matter if he is 2 years older since he is not a genuine fast bowler rather a guy who bowls variations with an odd one 139-141k
 
The kid is not doing so well anymore. Batsmen are starting to pick up his tricks. He needs to learn some new tricks or pretty much will fade away like mendis did
 
Extremely overrated bowler.

He isn't the same bowler as we all initially thought him to be. His secret code has already been cracked by most of the batsmen. He'll never be as threatening as he was during on the past.
 
He is struggling in the CT because there is zero purchase for the pace bowlers, atleast in the matches he has played in.

Played 2 complete matches, was ordinary against England, did Ok against NZ. However, he did beat the edge so many times its frustrating he didn't get many wickets.

He hasn't been as penetrative because he has been inconsistent with his line and length. When he bowls good lines he is a tough bowler to face. Also, since injury he has struggled a bit with pace but gradually will improve.

Courtney Walsh trying to bring the old Mustafizur Rahman back in action

Injuries affect fast bowlers and that s the truth. Ask the likes of Zaheer Khan, Shaun Tait, Mohammad Shami and the rest. Another fast bowler who has gone through the same difficult phase in his life is Mustafizur Rahman. Fizz , who was described last year as a special talent by David Warner, his Sunrisers Hyderabad captain at Indian Premier League last year, had to undergo shoulder surgery after picking up an injury while playing in the NatWest T20 Blast in August.

The injury ruled him out of action for five months. Since the time he has made a comeback, he has not shown the same Fizz that the world used to know. Before injury, Mustafizur had picked up 26 wickets in 9 ODIs, 22 in 13 T20Is and 4 wickets in 2 Tests. The numbers took a drastic fall after his comeback as he has been able to pick up just 31 wickets in 19 matches (2 Tests, 13 ODIs and 4 T20Is).

Courtney Walsh, bowling coach of Bangladesh, is working closely with Mustafizur and providing him useful tips and tricks to improve. It is too early to say anything apart from the fact that he is responding very well in the training sessions, Walsh told Cricbuzz after a one-on-one session with Mustafizur. "We are trying to make him bowl [from] close to the wicket but that is not the only thing as we are trying some other stuff as well."

Walsh has also requested Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to allow Mahbub al Jaki to be a part of his training program. Jaki is supposed to have identified the talent of Mustafizur during his early days and has played a huge role in the development of the fast bowler. We are trying to make him understand what his major strength is and looking forward to develop that, said Jaki.

It is true that after the comeback he has bowled a lot away from the stumps and there can be several reasons behind it, but as he could not achieve much success we made him realize that he needs to go back to his old bowling formula. At present, we are making him bowl in just three to four steps close to the wicket so that it gets seated into his subconscious mind so that later when he comes to bowl in full force he is able to bowl close to the wicket without making much effort, added Jaki.

The presence of Walsh in the dressing room has also benefited other Bangladeshi bowlers. Kamrul Islam, a right-arm fast bowler, says Walsh s feedback has helped him to a great extent to be a more effective bowler: With the guidance of Walsh, I have improved my balance while bowling and also have made some technical amendments that I hope would make my bowling more effective. I could not deliver in-swingers but currently I have been trying to master it. As a bowler, I have been trying to perfect the skills that I have already acquired. That s where my focus lies currently."

he was huge disappointed in the CT .he needs to improve his fitness otherwise he will have very short career and

will remain average bowler like he was in CT
 
Even though fizz has lost his initial mojo he's still the second best fast bowler in limited overs cricket after M. STARC.

Bcb must kick out useless Walsh if they wanna get back the old Mustafizur. Walsh is absolutely useless. Bangla need H. Streak again as the bowling coach again.

Bangla can also approach kumble for the position of head coach. His headmaster type attitude might be really beneficial for the bangla team.

2nd Best - LOL LOL
 
Walsh so far hasn't proved to be an effective coach. There haven't been any noticeable improvements made by young bowlers such as Mustafiz, Taskin, Rubel and the others since he took over. Mashrafe at this stage of his career knows his game and can guide himself. What are Walsh's coaching credentials? As far as I know he has only served as a selector since retiring. Was he only appointed based on his legendary playing career?
 
As soon as you remove the comfort blanket of the low and sluggish home wickets, India bullied and humiliated Bangladesh bowling for the minnows that they are....

Walsh cannot transform minnow level bowlers made out of glass into world level.

Do you even understand quality level of Starc, a world cup winner pedigree fast bowler.

Fizz bowls off cutters as a stock delivery. This is not a fast bowler.

Even mentioning him in the same breath as Starc is nothing short of blasphemy.

Mustafiz was outstanding in the tests against Australia particularly the second test. Took 5 wickets in the match
 
I like his nickname :afridi Now that Shakib has quit on his stool I am interested in BD test series in SA only due to Tamim Iqbal and to see how this Fizzy fella does, hope he has a good tour I had high hopes from him when he was doing so well, cricket needs a strong BD team and to hell with players like Shakib who quit when their team needs them most

[MENTION=136334]Shutdown Corner[/MENTION] checked his stats in that series. not that bad. Barely bowled in the first test due to spin domination.

match figures of 0/21 after bowling 9 overs.

second test he took 5/100. overall thats not the worst figures u could get.

Tbh wasn't watching the match until the very end and at that time pitch looked supportive for faster men. Taskin looked really good
 
So Rabada ending up with near identical stats as Fizz in this game against a much worse batting line-up. Guess he is an average bowler too and the Rabada chapter has closed?
 
Mustafiz clocking 145 kph in the 1st Test in SA and so far has 140.9 in the second.

Amir clocking 141.6 vs SL in Abu Dhabi...so Satkhira's slow death only a half yard slower.
 
Seriously .
16 to defend . Should have done better against someone like Asif ali .
Lahore is cursed :( .
 
Absolute trash bowler, and to think some were suggesting he’s an ATG in the making :)))
 
Has been brilliant in PSL but he needs to back his yorker more at the death
 
Bangladesh are better off picking Hasan Mahmoud (I think that’s his name), their under-19 fast bowler. He looked real good, tall and generates decent pace.

No need to make fun of him. He's already ATG for Bangladeshi team in all formats. Might not be an ATG by general cricket standards but definitely he is one for Bangladesh.
 
Mr. Fizz won't be very popular in the streets of Lahore right about now :))
 
This would be invaluable experience for him, however the Keeper and Akmal were equally the culprits.

Sorry but he is as mediocre as they come. Decent bowlers would defend 16 runs on this pitch 9 times out of 10. He was daft enough to bowl a length ball to Russel on the last ball. Rubbish.

Bangladesh shouldn't lower their standards so much as to have this guy as their ATG.

I don't want to brag it, but you are taking cheap digs at the guy because of poor fielding. This exactly what I read in game thread and please try to respond this in civilized manner -

I don't understand why people are cursing Mustafiz here. It's not to back him, but here I read PSL's fielding as a determining factor for the "standard" of the cricket - then in Super over, a catch is converted to SIX, then Russel was brought to strike with a basic fielding error by WK!!!!

Not sure, how to determine standard of cricket from close game, but for such high standard, 1st 4 balls, scorecard should have read like -

1 W Dot Dot......... which would have required 2 SIX & a FOUR in last 2 balls.

Obviously, we can talk about 90% catch success (probably 89% now, for that SIX....)

I'm not taking cheap digs, I'm telling it how it is. Also I have stated in the post why I believe he is a rubbish bowler. Misfields happen, but you don't end up bowling a length ball to one of the fiercest strikers of the cricket ball when there are 3 runs to get off 1 ball.

He got smacked for a six off the second ball by Asif Ali FGS.

I know, that's why first point was that Buzz shouldn't have given him the ball for Super Over. Still he gave it to him because Kid has gone for less than 6 in other 3 games.

Would have won the game to day as well, unless PSL's super quality fielding choked when it mattered. I always respect you as the best entertainer of PP, never delusional.

He was unlucky as well - that 5th ball went for a top edged 4. Cricket wanted LQ to lose today, Mustafiz is part of it.

McCullum himself said he should have taken that.

However, that's more to do with how hopeless Asif Ali was. Fizz was just mainly bowling length balls.

He used to bowl yorkers once upon a time but I haven't seen them recently.

Why are you bringing BD team here? This is what CI explains -

Mustafizur Rahman to Asif Ali, SIX runs, McCullum drops the catch at long on, and it's a six! He's furious. It's full on leg stump, and lifted over the bowler's head. Two fielders congregating there, but Umar Akmal got in the way of Baz's attempted catch. Tries to flick it back, but can't.

Would have been a better catch than Afridi's if he had taken that. He couldn't have had the balance to take it himself, the best he could have done was parry it to Akmal.

McCullum sets high standards so I'm not surprised he said that.

Cricket wanted LQ to lose today, hence a fielder like Buzz dropped a catch and that went for six. Even had it dropped inside ground, that would have been just 2 on this ground.

But yes, Mustafiz failed to deliver yorkers; probably that six sacred him to pitch it up. Buzz should have gone for Narine for sure - this is 2nd game he lost for his poor bowling sequence - lost to KK as well for that.

Give it a rest. It wasn't a drop. McCullum couldn't have had the balance to take that catch himself. The ball was always going away from him.

Mustafizur is being shamed because he bowled a rubbish super over, where half of the balls were length deliveries. Rather than accept it, you continue to clutch at straws.

Now stop wasting my time.

He was bowling short with third man and fine leg in the circle, the field was set so they have men on the boundary for fuller deliveries. Wasn't it Russell who he embarrassed with that incredible yorker for SRH against KKR yet he didn't try to bowl that delivery again.

When you are an intl. bowler who has T20 experience around the globe, you cannot bowl like that in a super over. Watching the game, it was not a dropped catch but a failed parry to save it from the six.

His bowling was poor in his 4 over stint of the actual game as well. I'm assuming he's a lot better than this normally, I've seen him in two games now, and he's looked very ordinary.
