Naseem Shah: The gem we don’t deserve

[Asif321]

Shouldn’t have been on bench .

At least could have played a game

But our coach can't keep loverboys out of playing 11

SSA prefers Rauf and even himself over Naseem Shah in ODIs, what is this right call , professional jealousy or dosti yaari ?

Even Bangladesh pacers outshone us !

Naseem Shah can bowl upto 140s

Can swing the ball both ways, can bowl Yorker, bumper, slower ball

Has great cricketing awareness

With the bat too he can slog and give stand to the set batsman.

Gives in the field.

Why is this guy not in every X1 for Pak (when he is fit). He should be the permanent No.8 in all 3 formats à la Pat Cummins.

The irony is that ODIs are Naseem's favorite format, where he has at least some decent numbers.

Frankly for the last year and so Performances of Shaheen and Naseem are not up to the mark in the format.

Only Rauf has good performance.

Rauf is not as bad as he is made out to be but one thing for sure, in every important match for Pak, he usually sticks out like a sore thumb. To some extent Shaheen too but he at least has some match turning performances .

While Naseem can be expensive and also lose the plot, he still seems to come back and end up with decent returns.

Rauf is a luxury pacer. Management doesn't know how to use him.

Naseem has been awful in ODI and Test format since his injury comeback. He does decent on T20s still as he relies on his change ups now. But the old Naseem that we saw in WT20 2022 with that beautiful outswing balls at 145 clicks, is gone.

I think Shaheen and Rauf are condition specific bowlers who are more likely to succeed in SENA conditions but have still not mastered the art of bending their backs on Asian wickets…

Naseem has that quality of being a “all condition” bowler but prefers to bowl defensively to avoid getting hammered rather than going for wicket taking balls. In helpful conditions he is more lethal then Shaheen and Rauf

Didn’t have the physique or the attitude of an express pacer. A lovely lad whom we all love to support.

this guy is as mediocre as his numbers suggest.
