Mustafizur Rahman - Slow death from Satkhira (Performance Watch)

[big_gamer007]

He's a good bowler like watching him bowl..

Can't understand OTT sentiment of people here it's really funny how people label players legends after 2 games..

He's doing good right now and should carry on performing like this for next 10 years and then we all can agree he's a legend..

Height of stupidity. He is in sunraisers squad

Warne struggled againist one country only.He has a very good record againist the rest.If Mustafizur does something like that then ofcourse he will be a great.

True. He was very successful against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

[Hasan123]

Mustafizur shinning again

 

[Dios]

Mustafizur now the second highest wicket taker in the IPL. Only one wicket behind McClenaghan having played one match less. Best average and economy rate by far. I had predicted he would be in the Top 3 if he played enough matches now he'll probably finish as the highest wicket-taker in his debut season.

Relax, for a young bowler with great potential, in 2/3 threads there had been so much rubbish spouted here that sometimes I get scared to even open the Mustafiz threads.

He is proving every hater wrong, who are raising the bar for him every time he is performing. Actually, it's a no win situation for Mustafiz - until Bangladesh wins a Test series in AUS, SAF & ENG with Mustafiz winning MoS - I don't see that happening during his career (IND/PAK couldn't do that in 80+ years so far), so he 'll always remain an "over hyped, mystery blower, a one trick pony", whose bubble is going to bust just whenever he is going to play in the country he hasn't played yet............

It's not like Nehra is a youngsta beauty

Anyway. There is nothing to learn. He has got some outstanding wrists which not many will have. Hence his bowling of cutters with little change in action.

One guy has. Unfortunately he doesn't bowl

I personally feel that would be Amla but Kohli is a close second. Kohli would make a good boxer, strong bottom hand.

Maybe he used to get in fights when he was young

Actually, most sub-continent players are born with strong wrists - Azhar, VVS, Zaheer, Saeed, Vishi, Mazid, Dias, Mahela, Sanath, Sanga .... even our Bulbul (Aminul), had steel made wrists compared to their body mass. What unique for Mustafiz is the flexibility of his wrist; it's extremely strong but flexible at the same time which allows him to vary pace with same action. Besides, this guy is extremely cunning for his age & the format is helping him as well.

Test series? lol let Bangla win a test match in their own backyard first. Of course performing well in tests will take Mustafizur to new heights.

Yeah that's true. The kid seems to be very intelligent and a quick learner. I think the only thing missing from his armoury is swing. If he can learn that, he'll be a sensation in Tests.

Comprehension is your problem, I can't help on that. It's Bangladesh for you, not Bangla.

Actually, that could be counter productive for him - for conventional swing of the ball, 1st thing you need is steady wrist & proper use of seem; which is not his strength. He can learn that (Imran learned out-swing in his 30s), but with a risk that it might cost his cutters. I don't think he 'll ever be a great swing bowler, rather he should plan to be a good user of new ball with seem-up balls on channels. For a bowler like him, if he can make batsmen play at 80%+ of his 1st spell balls, he 'll be great.

Bowlers actually learn themselves most - best thing he can do is avoid "Coaches", listen lot & observe. Intelligent boy, with lots for "good habits" - if he keeps his eye & mind open, couple of year in County, he 'll learn enough how to use new ball in FC games, keeping his core intact. Only "Coaching" that should help him is how to strengthen his body, manage work load & keep fit.

 

[Balthazar]

I don't think anyone is asking for Test series wins to prove his worth. I just made an observation that Bangla(desh) have yet to win a test match, and here you are dreaming of series wins in Aus, Eng and Ind )...

I was thinking the same as well today during the match. The cutters are so natural, instinctive and ingrained in his muscle memory that swing might come at the cost of reduced effectiveness in one or the other. I might be wrong and he may learn it to swing prodigiously as well but what you say makes sense.

Anyway his county stint will be interesting. Zaheer's stint at Worcestershire changed him as a bowler and he became a canny bowler after that. Will certainly be an important chapter in the kid's career.

 

[Executioner]

True the cutters are so natural, but he does bowl seam up in ODIs at times and I think we need him more in tests along with Taskin than anything else, so even if he is half as effectice in Tests as he is in LOIs we will take that gleefully.

Haha i never said he is legend, i never hyped him. I am just stating fact that currently he is outstanding LOI bowler. Though he needs to be tested in Test and also in away conditions. But i do hope that this boy may perform well, he is a good talent and should not be wasted.

Do u even know when did Bangladesh get their test Status and how long have they been playing it?


No problem, I m here to remind u. It's little over 16 years and they haven't played too many test series against teams like Aus, SA or England in these years.


Even witch so little experience they have managed to smash West indies in West indies in a test series which many teams who claim themselves as a top test team is yet to achieve



So pls take ur hatred somewhere else. They have already emerged as a strong side and they've shown their strength by whitewashing teams like Pakistan or newzealand in Odis and by drawing test series against a team like South Africa

everything else is fine but drawing against south africa was a joke... Say thanks to the rain.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This IPL stint will do him wonders for the future and more such exposure with current and former good players will only benefit him more.

He's pretty much handling his first season of IPL really well and nearly picks up wickets in every match and his economy isn't that high either.

He could most likely go on to become a great of Bangladesh cricket in fast bowling if he keeps his feet grounded.

Ya, I've seen it all. He's a one dimensional bowler who can't swing the ball. The only ball he can bowl is slower deliveries. He'll soon be found out. Just let him get out of mirpur bla, bla, bla................


Bangladeshi fans should just ignore these nonsense. This guy has immense potential

I think it's South Africa who were lucky and should thank the rain God. Otherwise Bangla could have won their first ever test series against South Africa

 

[Energetic]

One year of International Cricket and already: many are labelling him as a star. He does look really good for limited overs, but we have yet to see how he will do in tests. Also, playing away from the subcontinent for a change. If he can yet prove doubters wrong – then I think it's safe to say the kid is unique. I don't think he will thrive in tests since he doesn't have that extra pace, and is prolonged to injuries. He was very bad in that game against India where the pitch had grass. He doesn't seem to have the conventional swing. He relies too much on the cutter, and he of all people should know that the cutter is not enough to succeed at this level. He also barely bowls seam up deliveries. He needs to learn to bowl early up, and take some wickets. I've noticed though however that his bowling and fielding is improving all the time in his IPL campaign. He's sensational, but still has a long-way to go. He needs to work on his fitness and swing.

 

[The Good]

The cutters he bowls are slow and suddenly he bowls a 140 plus delivery yorker and 99% of the batsmen haven't been able to do anything about it. "The Fizz" as he been nick named in ipl will do wonders in the future. Great talent for sure.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman could well ignite a bidding war between several KFC Big Bash League clubs as the T20 magician's stock continues to soar.

Mustafizur is one of the hottest T20 bowlers in the world right now, dominating the Indian Premier League at the Sunrisers Hyderabad with lively left-arm pace, deceptive slower balls and a hostile yorker.

Fizz should retire from test cricket as soon as possible in order to prolong his career and should solely focus on Odis and t20s. He has the potential to become one of the greatest bowlers of all time in Limited Overs cricket.



There is no need for him to waste his skill and energy in useless test format since it's considered as boring and time consuming by majority of the cricket fans.



With the recent emergence of different t20 leagues like ipl, BPL and psl there won't be any test format after 10/15 years anyway

He has the best bowling average and economy rate(and by a good margin to the second best).

He is being hyped because almost all batsman struggled against him and he has helped his side win plenty of matches. Points table will tell you they have been the best team so far though no one expected them to perform

Who has been better than Mustafiz? Fizz is one wicket behind Russell who is the current purple-cap holder but has played one match less and has a better average and much better economy rate. In fact he is the only bowler in the Top 5 with an economy rate less than 7. It's just above a run a ball which is phenomenal given the high-scoring nature of the tournament. Expecting Fizz to get the purple cap today. Only one wicket will do it for him.

You are right Rahman has the best average and economy, but he has played the same number of matches as Russell. Also Watson has a wicket more than him despite playing one less match.

Mustafiz played 9 matches and that 10th match is currently on going and will come on to bowl later in the evening

Regardless, contribution in team wins, average and ER are all the matters and in that sense he has been the besy performer

Well batsman these days are more equipped to play bowlers with variation. Let for example, Rahat bhatia has so much variation in IPL but in international cricket he would be a handful because most top batsman aren't too bothered by minor variations, virat destroyed him last time around. That's why India go with nehra and Bumrah

Now I will never say IPL is the yardstick. Mustafizur has been stunning in international cricket and almost singlehandedly won us a few matches. We fans just watch him bowl because we don't have e anything better to do with no international cricket

Two wrongs never make a right my brother, if you watch any debates on TV both BJP and congress blame each other's mis deeds and never accept their own faults..

Did you even watch the match? 13 runs off the 17th and 19th overs combined with Dhoni and Perera at the crease with required rate over 10. Not a single boundary conceded in the death overs. Pretty much won SRH the match by leaving more than enough for Nehra to defend. Lol at being outbowled. Yeah Bhuvi as usual did his thing at the start and made use of the swing but couldn't deliver when the pressure was on and conceded 15 off his one death over. Go watch the analysis and see what the commentators are saying about the effect Fizz had on the match or you can carry on embarrassing yourself. As for the purple cap he is still only one wicket away. As soon as he equals it he will go top because of his vastly superior economy rate. Not worried about that.

What do you mean by being outbowled? He gave away only 13 runs at the death in a match where his team had to defend around 10 rpo at the death.

Oh wait, you people demand that he gets 2-3 wickets every match to show that he is worth it. You definitely understand cricket far better than this nobodies like Sammy, Doull, and all other comm who has played cricket and watch the matches while you sit in front of Cricinfo and making judgements.

I am just going to draw a comparison. I never compare Amir with Mustafiz, but Amir played in BPL and Mustafiz played in IPL with better quality players on more batting friendly tracks. Mustafiz's team is on the top of the table and has the best average and ER in the tourney, while Amir's team in BPL(and it was a better side than other teams in the tourney on paper) was bottom ranked.

Find me a 20 year bowler who can regularly bowl at the death with barely getting tonked on flat tracks against quality batsman, say Dhoni and Perera.

Worst logic of all time. Amir was best bowler of the BPL and was head and shoulders above the next closest. It's not his fault that his team was ranked at the bottom despite him being the best bowler of the league.

Also Rahman has the assistance of Nehra and Bhuvi (who has the purple cap now) and Warner as opening batsman is probably the second or third best T20 batsman in the world. That is why his side is ranked so high, not because Rahman bhai was picking up fivers for fun in every match.

You question my cricketing knowledge but then start comparing two bowlers based on the performances of their teams. Haha keep trying buddy

Do you think Mustafizur has been the best bowler in the IPL?

 

[Syed1]

Do you think Mustafizur has been the best bowler in the IPL?

I think he has been excellent and may end up as the best bowler in this year's IPL, but he is no where near the level you guys are hyping him to be.

Did you even watch the match? 13 runs off the 17th and 19th overs combined with Dhoni and Perera at the crease with required rate over 10. Not a single boundary conceded in the death overs. Pretty much won SRH the match by leaving more than enough for Nehra to defend. Lol at being outbowled. Yeah Bhuvi as usual did his thing at the start and made use of the swing but couldn't deliver when the pressure was on and conceded 15 off his one death over. Go watch the analysis and see what the commentators are saying about the effect Fizz had on the match or you can carry on embarrassing yourself. As for the purple cap he is still only one wicket away. As soon as he equals it he will go top because of his vastly superior economy rate. Not worried about that.

Lol this quite a partial analysis.

Surely giving 5 runs off 3 overs bowling in the powerplay taking one wicket (one wicket denied) is a bit more than what you have credited Bhuvi for in your post.

He has been setting the rhythm for SRH for many matches now taking early wickets consistently by swinging the ball pegging the opposition on backfoot.

You are right - Bhuvi was good but ask yourself this whose contribution mattered more for SRH winning today? RPS were still in a very good position to win going into the final overs despite that phenomenal spell by Bhuvneshwar at the start. If it wasn't for Mustafiz's two overs at the death RPS would have got home but that's just my opinion.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

All else aside - the guy is an absolute pleasure to watch.

You want to sit up and watch him bowl. Brilliant bowler.

I'm not really discrediting Mustafiz. He bowled really well at the death but I felt it was more of a complete team performance. The batsmen had decided not to take chances against Fizz and were going for doubles rather than boundaries. His return was expected. BK at the top, Nehra complementing him, Fizz at the death and Ojha's phenomenal glove work were all reasons for the win and it wasn't a one man performance.

True

I think everyone did their job well. Sunrisers bought bhuv to get wickets up front. Mustafizur doing what Malinga did for MI

 

[Adijazz1706]

Bhuvi Kumar should get credit, he has been amazing. The Fizz is still better.

Abu haider rony was the best bowler in BPL by a big margin and also won the tourney for him

I never mentioned that Amir is inferior. Mustafiz did his part. Find me one current bowler with obvious exception of Starc who can boast a ER less than 7 at the death.

He is not getting wickets because batsman aren't chancing their arms against him at the death because they know that will only cost them wickets. But that doesn't matter to fizz. He is being hyped to bowl economical spell at the death and win his team matches by choking the runs. And not come into bowl when there is a new batsman in the wicket. That is others job.

If you do what your team needs you to do and your team is winning you matches. In BD vs Pak T20 match Mustafiz gave just 20 runs in his quota. We won the match easily. He made the job easier for other players same way other bowlers helped him a bit.

 

[Slog]

What do you mean by being outbowled? He gave away only 13 runs at the death in a match where his team had to defend around 10 rpo at the death.

Oh wait, you people demand that he gets 2-3 wickets every match to show that he is worth it. You definitely understand cricket far better than this nobodies like Sammy, Doull, and all other comm who has played cricket and watch the matches while you sit in front of Cricinfo and making judgements.

Amir won a world t20 in his first ever tournament whereas Mustafiz went home crying after his side choked against India in his first tournament

However mustafizur has had a better start than Amir in LOI
