yeah, Wasim was the real deal. Waqar was suspect and he was also much older than 18 when he debuted.. he fizzed out by 30..
That is so true. Every time he and Riz appeals, i am laughing. my peak was at best a passable club cricketer, and i see it 8/10 times they get it wrong when they appeal. what's with that? I understand Shaheen is young and excitable, why is Riz so bad?
Especially Imad could have been vital here. Anyways would have, could have. These are only talks now.
Imam is a good opener for our standards and Naseem is a good bowler for our standards.
Yes in some ways Naseem is lucky that he missed this world cup. His fitness is circumspect and would have broken down anyways
Impressive record by vice captain
And there we go.
Best attacks were always
He has but we should look past him. Our reserves have only 2 talented players but it seems like they are just t20 specialists
Pakistan conceded 350 plus against India in Colombo with Naseem & Shaheen !
Naseem got injured that match if I recall and did not complete his quota.
Ball tampering does not help you at the beginning of the match, Waqar was great even early on compare to today's bowlers. Also most of his playing days there were plenty of cameras and umpires checking the ball, so only in handful of matches he did ball tampering.
Rauf is a gone case.
It's impressive how people have excuses lined up for every issue. Pakistani pitches are the flattest highways in the world, look at how well bumrah has bowled in these rubbish Indian pitches. The reality is that your bowlers are rubbish and overrated, and nowhere near the best in the world.
Fans of a team with 2 Asia cups and 3 icc trophies calling a team with 5 icc trophies and 8 Asia cups are chokers is so cute. Seems better than getting embarrassed by minnows, getting groupes and being humiliated by your arch rivals all the time
The only useful line in this entire post is "Shaheen is carrying an injury", everything else is just pure garbage.
I have no problem with criticism, it's the other things you have written which indicate deep hate and jealousy but keep it up. We all need something to be happy. If not our own success, we can wait for and enjoy others' destruction
You have been to one wc semi and 0 finals since 1999, don't talk about choking. You get humiliated in the group stage itself
Isn't Imad too old to come back? How about bringing young guys like Saim Ayub
I have no problem with criticism, it's the other things you have written which indicate deep hate and jealousy but keep it up. We all need something to be happy. If not our own success, we can wait for and enjoy others' destruction
Chokers shouldn't talk big losers shouldDeep hate and jealousy? Again quite rich statement coming from people who are obsessed head over heels with Pakistan
Other things I wrote was simply pointing out stay grounded going by previous tournaments, it doesn't matter who played semi or final... With barely 6-7 top teams playing this sport all that matters is who lifts the cup so chokers shouldn't talk big
Naseem has bowled nine over .
I think it’s fair to say Pak have a terrible bowling line up right now and it’s been awful for about 15 years at least. It’s not enough to say that 1 SSA is good and the rest rubbish. For many years going back to Amir and Asif, we have had the same attitude of being heavily reliant on a couple of individuals. This is a recipe for disaster especially for an all format all season attack.
Exactly our bowling has masked us for a long time atleast two decades but everything has a shelf life
Surely this can’t be true.
spot on Indian attack is head and shoulders above ours. Indian bowlers some of them are already goats of the game shami and bumrah to name a few
And in a 3 match ODI series against Afghanistan in August, Shaheen played all 3 matches and Haris & Naseem played two each. Wasim Junior only got to play 1 match in that series. No other fast bowler was introduced in that series.
