Naseem Shah: The gem we don’t deserve

[Local.Dada]

No he doesn't.

My bad. Has a 4fr vs Australia at home. Having said that I will stick to my statement that currently he is better than Rana. Now I don’t know in his comeback he looks out of shape and average.

How does every thread, regardless of its topic become about Indian cricket and Indian players?

you do realize this comparison was brought in by others right?

Bro Naseem has a 5fr in Australia and in home conditions. Is a good fielder and has won matches with the bat with slogging. I have never seen Rana do any of those even in IPL. Obviously Naseem may not last long due to mismanagement and his own indiscipline or Rana can have a resurgence and be a top star. As of today where it stands, Naseem is way ahead of Rana.

lol. Naseem has absolutely nothing to show in the international cricket.

Everyone knows how badly he has struggled in international cricket against the top teams. If he is dominating domestic cricket so easily, then it is only clear that our domestic cricket standards are very poor and stats from our domestic cricket cannot be relied upon.

I agree but these guys need to play entire seasons. Continuous improvement in county cricket, building bowling muscle memory had a lot to do with success of our older fast bowlers…

Guys like Naseem and Shaheen are yet to play complete domestic seasons and have power repeatability and muscle memory

Naseem’s sole goal should be to play this entire season and work on his fitness.

See, this is the problem with you. You neither remember events nor look at the stats, and you just post anything. Do you even remember how brutally Pakistan was beaten when Naseem toured Australia?

So please stop posting as if you are sitting in your friend circle, where you would be the most knowledgeable cricket fan and others won't correct you. We are all cricket nerds here. There is no mercy when you get the facts wrong.

Rana actually was instrumental in the Perth win taking out Travis Head.

Also was good in the CT in the two games he played. Because the NZ game was a dead rubber India put in Varun and then he was great in both KOs.

Absolutely. He has lost pace, isn't tall and hasnt really developed any skills to take wickets on a consistent basis

I just remember Naseem Shah being a threatening bowler: good pace, skills and a very fit fielder and useful slogger down the order with good batting temparament. I rate him. Don’t care for stats.

Rana is trash as well like Naseem. He is far from international class as of now…

He might turn a corner like ishant Sharma but at present he is a bowler who teams would smack around for fun

On his first tour to Australia he was threatening and pacy. Looked amazing for a teenager but his current version is a shadow of himself. Unable to sustain pace, unable to control line and too short to go with it.

Fitness wise he’s a potato right now

Thanks for proving me right

Don't take @Local.Dada 's cricketing opinion seriously. He forms opinion on feelings.

The next marquee match Pakistan will win be either either some tournament final or some big overseas test match it will have the Naseem Shah stamp. Bookmark this.

Also weren’t you the same guy who thought Azam Khan was the second coming of Chris Gayle and Md Haris the second coming of Gilchrist? I rest my case.

Anyone with 2 eyes can see Naseem’s natural potential. Too bad he hasn’t delivered yet. If handled carefully he will go a long way. I don’t think that’s the dumbest assessment in the world
