Pakistan don't have enough bowling options

[sahiwal_punjabi_786]

Pak vs England 2nd ODI

Bowlers:
Shaheen
Hasan
Faheem
Imad
Yasir

Harris won’t bowl.

Match winning teams need at least 5+ bowling options as I said before. What’s wrong with the management? Can someone share this with PCB?

 

[Zaz]

More than lack of bowlers its more the lack of quality today

Only shaheen and hasan are full time regulars
The likes of faheem imad and yasir arent good enough to be relied on over thr course of 50 overs day in day out

What faheem and yasir are doing in this team boggles the mind

 

[Hawkeye]

Imad and Yasir mean the batsmen will be licking their lips for a good 20 overs yummy feast.

Both should go for 70+ runs each.

Imad Wasim is a darter, and Yasir is also not being able to spin, googly.

If and when shadab is ready I would have the following bowling options

Junaid
Shaheen
Hasan
Faheem
Shadab
Imad

And then possibly Malik bowling a few too.

 

[Captain]

The quicker Faheem drops out of playing 11, the better the pakistan's chances... Should have played junaid for faheem today...

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

I disagree. It is not lack of bowling options.

All bowlers are bowling defensive lines. Hassan Ali used to pitch the ball up. Shaheen Shah used to bowl fast - so would Hasnain.

There is something wrong in Pakistani management's mindset. The England games are an eye opener.

 

[aloo paratha]

Well that's what's gonna happen when you have Faheem and Yasir playing. You're playing with 3 bowlers.

I agree with a lot of this. The bowlers need to pitch it fuller and be quicker but much like in SA, the management wants them to bowl defensively and it makes no sense to do so right at the beginning of a game.

I would bowl Hassan Ali where is gets bowled usually because that's where he is most effective and he the bowler that he is currently. He is very difficult to hit ..... may be that's why he is asked to bowl at middle overs.


Fahim is easier to hit than Hassan Ali .... may be that's why he being given opening because most batsmen are cautious in the power play.


Nothing wrong with trying Hassan Ali as an opening bowler in 2-3 games though.

Well after the pies that Yasir Shah has just bowled in his wicket taking over - I’m left speechless. Is he really that poor a bowler ?? Even a bloke from the crowd randomly asked to bowl an over of leg spin might not have matched that rubbish.

Yet Another Thread of Poor Bowling from Pakistan: Lack of Plan or Strategy by Bowling Coach

Hi all,

So not a surprise, what has happened in 2nd odi. Another worse performance. Can't bowl yorkers right. Can't bowl spin right. What game plan the team had? Did they work out on batsmen?

And as always, what is Azhar Mehmood doing? Boy, he must have loved this free ride. Had to do nothing to have our talented bowlers gone to this poor after the raw talent in PSL.

What is even happening? Why didn't bowlers get yorkers practice? Or is azhar mehmood wants bowlers to bowl at line and length at death overs?
All balls in slot at the end.


Poor poor cricket. And people blaming it on mickey lol. Nice.

 

[Markhor]

It's more so the lack of quality.

Honestly early wickets with the new ball is a rarity now for Pakistan.

 

[Energy]

Faheem is only a name on the team sheet. He is a liability with the ball the moment he bowls his first ball. Add Yasir to that and you're only asking for mercy from the opposition.

Shaheen and Hasan have been terrible today. So crap bowling all-round.

 

[adzzy786]

We do not have any WICKET TAKING bowlers. This is why we won’t ever be a threat because our bowling is just pathetic.

Faheem - averages 200 with the ball this year?
Yasir- should never play an ODI again
Imad- average of 45- again a nothing bowler

Shaheen Afridi is new and needs time to develop.

But that bowling attack is probably the worst on the world.

Let’s have Aamir, Shaneen, Husnain/Junaid

Hafeez and shadaab spinning options

 

[Brilliance]

Lol I don't know what it'll take to persuade them to give the new ball to Hassan.

 

[Brilliance]

Faheem Ashraf provides nothing with the new ball.

 

[xricket]

It's not the bowling options. It's the one preparing them for match. But no, lets sack mickey because it was his job that our bowlers couldn't finish the job. See the logic here?
