Bro india has world class bowling attack at the moment .
It doesn’t work like that. You have no control over these complexes - these are deeply buried psychological feelings of resentment grounded in his own playing experiences.
Imagine how bad Waqar must have felt being out of the 1992 world cup because of injury. Put yourself in his shoes. One of the greatest moments in Pakistan history, not just in cricket but generally one of our greatest moments as a nation. You were a guaranteed starter and you feel you should have been part of that, but now you’re the second sibling no one remembers while Wasim and Imran take laps around the ground trophy in hand.
You then have another back injury, and are half the bowler you used to be. You’re hammered in the 1996 world cup. You consistently live in the shadow of Wasim Akram. You’re sidelined for the 1999 world cup, where Pak makes the final again, and running on your ego, you become captain for the 2003 world cup where you’re hammered, all the while Shoaib Akhtar overtakes you rapidly as the premier right arm express bowler in the team. You retire a sad retirement, without the swan song you wanted, and resolve to cement your legacy through coaching, since you were never able to achieve that glory during your actual playing days.
You fail as coach but you give it a go, then another go, then another go, then another go, and finally a go as bowling coach, because you genuinely truly need to prove to yourself that you can achieve that glory, your actual skill as a coach be damned. As one of the former top players in the world, “I can’t” has never been an answer, and it (unfortunately) continues to be the case. This is why he is so strict with his players, described by Wasim Akram, Younis Khan, Shoaib Akhtar, and now Mohammad Amir as difficult to work with, and so on - Waqar has a genuine messiah complex and any player that pushes against his tight leash interferes with his vision.
I have a lot of respect for Waqar because he had one of the most phenomenal peaks of any bowler to have ever played the game. But it is clear he has a lot of complexes, in fact not too dissimilar to Misbah who I also did a psychological profiling of based off of the 2007 T20 WC final, a moment that psychologically changed Misbah forever.
If you dig deeper on Waqar, you scratch at a certain complex he seems to have about the damage that just one serious injury can do to your career. It appears he is unloading that now on Naseem, out of a genuine sympathy where he doesn’t want him to have his career end before it even begins.
It comes from a good natured place - however, Waqar refuses to accept that maybe, possibly, it’s feasible to tweak Naseem’s action into a safer loadup without reducing his potency and zip. That would require Waqar to accept that bowling coaches with lesser records than himself have a better understanding of bowling technicals than he does, and can achieve those results that he can’t - that’s something I don’t think he will ever be ready to accept. It simply goes against the most innate fundamentals of his identity.
Yadav is pathetic and Bumrah is half the bowler he was last Aussie tour.
He is bradman of bowling
Usman Qadir - the guy takes Man of the Series in previous series, operates smartly, uses variations and looks quite penetrative which Yasir clearly lacks however isn't good enough hence gets omitted from the squad...another guy (Yasir) who has been lackluster and hasn't looked penetrative at all for the last couple of years gets selected...where is the grooming of promising talent, what's going on Pakistan selection!!??
Amad Butt - Wasim Akram has been vouching for Amad Butt since last couple of years or so, those who watched him play can clearly see wicket taking penetrative abilities...he keeps on taking wickets however somehow gets ignored each time from the 16 member squad...astonishing again!!
Bring on the smarts Pakistan selection, smell the coffee!

The continues selection of Yasir shah year after year is starting to become quite unbelievable and outrageous
How old is Harris Sohail and how did he pass the yoyo test?
Usman qadir hasnt played FC enough , we dont even know if he can bowl 20 overs a day. He has bowled a toral of 150 overs in 11 FC games and only has 13 wickets where his average is 51 and economy is 4.44.
you may ask for zafar gohar but Usman Qadir in test matches?
Usman should have been played in the T20s but agreed, playing in tests was a bit risky. However, he may not have done much worse than Yasir, I believe.
The level of negativity we have on PP has actually driven me away from the great forum that it once was. Pakistan has bowled really well, especially on Day 1. New Zealand havent lost a home game in 3 years and these are very difficult conditions for our young attack to be playing in.
I'm going to Day 3 of the match tomorrow. Hopefully it's a good sunny day and Pakistan is batting by then.
NZ - 371/6 after 136 overs.
NZ should start hitting now.
There were other so called top bowlers from Pakistan in the Zimbabwe series (Hasnain, Imad, Wahab, Fahim etc.) however none performed or looked better than Usman throughout the series + he looks quite smart, thinks on his feet (which the current crop clearly lacks, most r dumb) + his wrong one is much better disguised than Yasir's (forget Shadab, I don't count him as a competent leg spin bowler).
Atleast give the guy a go in the dressing room, groom him...those who saw that ZIM series and his bowling will clearly agree with me
50 by watling , another solid innings by him
Lol! Great bit of commitment from Naseem after twisting his ankle to still get towards the ball.
Waqar is cancer to the team. A good bowling coach like Allan Donald , Ian Pont , Shane Bond is required.
Waqar has some crazy connections because we're never getting rid of him.
I guess give me either Aaqib or for the fiery sake Shoaib Akhtar any day over tried and tested failure Waqar
Abbas is like how dare you try and drive me.
Hence why he's economical. In test you're not looking to hit stumps but looking for nicks back to slips, which is exactly where he bowls. If he tries to hit the stumps more often his economy would be really bad. Just as I typed this he gets the wicket from that line.Abbas missing the stumps 93%
Look even the commies are showing where Abbas should be bowling. So what actually do Waqar and Misbah work on when it comes to bowling plans?
Abbas is like how dare you try and drive me.

That too at a searing 119kph.
I hope someone end this garbage bowler career. I would go with Hasnain and Ammad butt in the next game, instead of fahim and abbas.
extremely boring match,
action will start when we bat.
And that bit of aggression worked in his favour. Pakistani bowlers lack so much in that agression and self confidence.Abbas is like how dare you try and drive me.
Very Defensive field set to Jamieson he might get impatient with just working singles.
And that bit of aggression worked in his favour. Pakistani bowlers lack so much in that agression and self confidence.
Abbas finds some lift off a length and gets the wicket. Southee and Wagner will come out playing shots.

See he unruffled the batter with his loving glare.
why do pakistani fans still react like that we are a top team , we are a number 7 test team and 31 rating points below the team we are playing against.
The 2-0 loss in this series will bring us to our lowest rating rating points in a long long time.

We are not bad team, we are badly managed team in the world. We are yet to find a Coach or a Mentor who can get the best out of these guys.
Misbah was never an answer never. Getting rid of Mickey was a mistake and on top getting rid of Sarfraz Ahmed was a double blunder.
