"Naseem, Hasnain & Haris are capable of destroying any batting order" : Saqlain Mushtaq

"Naseem, Hasnain & Haris are capable of destroying any batting order" : Saqlain Mushtaq

Famous last words or does it have any substance?

==

Saqlain speaking in a presser:

"Since last few years, these three have been executing the plans and demands of Pakistan team really well. The captain, me as a head coach and the entire support staff has confidence in their abilities. Shaheen used to lead the attack, but these three also on a given day or situation can change the game"

"We have Naseem Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, and Haris Rauf who are capable of destroying any batting order. Good weather is also going to support all of us in playing"

[daytrader]

I'll be happy if these 3 start. Along with Shadab, Nawaz and contributions from Khushdil, we have a very potent attack.

 

[Marooned]

Surely we can't ignore Dahani.

He has more wickets than any other bowler in the last 2 psl seasons combined. More than even Shaheen!

That's more than Hasnain has shown at any level.

Remember, Dahani's very best came at UAE.

 

[Omer2002]

I'll be happy if these 3 start. Along with Shadab, Nawaz and contributions from Khushdil, we have a very potent attack.

The only issue is with them three they cant bat...also i think not the best fielders but i guess in a 2020 game batting shouldnt be required

 

[Saj]

Let's see.

Big words. I just hope they don't come back to haunt us.

 

[pratiktc]

Lower order batting can be made up by Shadab and Nawaz.
Pacers should try to improve atleast hitting skill. Nobody expecting any cameos but if they can edge a boundary in end overs can help team

 

[Hextro]

It's all on Naseem and Haris right now. I've developed some faith in Naseem after seeing his bowling performance against the Netherlands. I don't think Dahani is ready because he's been very inconsistent with his line and length and he's down on pace. I remember in this year's PSL Dahani kept bowling in the slot despite getting hit every time. He needs to develop a higher bowling IQ before playing against top international teams.

 

[Rana]

Hyperbole statement

Harris Rauf has never been a 4-5 wicket bowler like Shaheen. You need that proven 4/5 wicket bowler in your attack before you make these hyperbole statement

 

[jattafridi]

This Indian team will destroy all three bowlers

I am serious revenge

 

[IAJ]

They are capable of destroying any batting line-up, and any batting line-up is also capable of destroying these 3 bowlers.

 

[proud_pakistani]

True but all 3 are also wayward. This can go either way. Aar ya paar.

 

[Snowflake]

I don't think even Saqlain believes that

 

[Saj]

This could be a 100 for 6 or 100 for 0 from 10 overs scenario.

I just hope Pakistan's bowlers radar is on-song as this could get ugly.

 

[sweep_shot]

They are talented but weren't very consistent so far.

Naseem seems to have improved since his return. Did well in Netherlands recently.

 

[shamaan]

I'll be happy if these 3 start. Along with Shadab, Nawaz and contributions from Khushdil, we have a very potent attack.

Dahani has to play instead of Wasim who's injured.

 

[shamaan]

That would be a big insult on Dahani if husnain is picked ahead of him.

 

[CadPakFan]

Well, Naseem has shown some promise, only if Fakhar had held onto that catch of Kohli then it would've been a whole different game.

Maybe Saqlain should more attention to important details like not having a left handed second slip, instead of making pointless statements.

Hasnain and Dahani are of similar standard except Hasnain is quicker.Both of them have potential to become good bowlers.Pakistan has good bench strength in fast bowling so it should keep rotating them.

 

[IMMY69]

Dahani is the best of the lot.

Should be opening the bowling in each format.
Harris and his short pitched rubbish is what lost us the game.

Replace Harris with Hasnain in the next game

 

[hitthestump]

Pandya would have just come out earlier, nobody was stopping him yesterday. He played all our bowlers with complete ease.

Pakistan were 20-30 runs short.Khushdil and Asif scored 11 runs between them.I believe they and drop catch of Kohli were the reasonPakistan lost.Dahani hasn’t played many games so it is too early to say how good he is going to be at international level.

Thread is about our fast bowlers and Saqlain was hyping up Hasnain, Naseem and Rauf.
In my opinion Dahani is the best of the lot. He has huge potential.

The ability to move the new ball both ways, get bounce due to his height, and bowls at a very good click.
He should have played more games by now and that is a failure of the management which includes Saqlain.

 

[sweep_shot]

Naseem, Shaheen, and Hasnain.

3 young and very capable fast bowlers. Pakistani fast bowling is looking good for the upcoming decade.

 

[Bewal Express]

We have had so many false dawns, lets hope they stay fit and grounded.

 

[Minnowbasher]

Fast bowling future looks bright in Pakistan

Shaheen
Hasnain
Naseem
Shahnawaz
Rauf
Wasim jr

All international quality bowlers but other than rauf and shaheen still need more experience.

 

[chuck]

As IMMY69 said, Dahani looks like a real deal. Too early to hype others, international cricket and careers are not based on one or two isolated performances. Naseem produced 2 good overs in one game, had a bit of luck with Rahul dismissal and then some bad luck with Kohli's catch drop. He also showed poor fitness to even complete 4 overs in a 20 over game - Dubai heat can't be used as an excuse here, professional cricketers need to be able to deal with that. It was a mixed bag to be honest and I am not fully 'sold' on him yet. Let them perform with consistency for a period of time before attributing these ridiculous badges like 'destroying teams' - collectively they couldn't even bowl the opposition out, something that was achieved by opposition bowlers in the same match and same heat.

Didn't you watch what Wasim and Irfan pathan were saying when they batted and then came out in the heat ?

Kind of got to agree.
An inside edge wicket is luck favoring bowler. Dropped kohli catch was his bad luck.
And its a fact that indian bowlers took 10 wkts in afternoon heat and no one broke down compared to bowlers who took only 5 one of them a lucky inside edge and 2 bowlers hobbled in their 4th over

Pak bowlers were bowling fast naseem and rauf were over pushing themselves. That's the reason behind their break down

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is true. But they bowled 2 over spells tops. Pandya did clock 140 plus too with effort balls. YOu would want bowler to be far more flexible than this. Lean and mean. Shami used to break down frequently. Then he resorted to some sort of desi training regime. He is one bowler who consistently maintains the speed even in a Test match withour breaking down.

The pacers have an important role in prizing out wickets up the order and in bowling at the death.

But it does beg the question if Babar could experiment more with the likes of Iftikhar, Khushdil turning their arms over in the middle overs.

On flat pitches good batsmen can score against quick bowlers without difficulty that is why it is important to use variations eg slower delivery,bouncer,wide yorker and toe crushing yorker.On juicy pitches where there is bounce and ball swings then it is a different story.It is not easy to dominate quick bowlers.
