What happened to these young Pakistani bowlers ? Anwar Ali looks totally different skill-wise now compared to those days. Does our domestic structure degrades players or what ?
 
Or is it that these kids are so unprofessional in their approach that they cant build upon their skills
 
I still remember that banana inswing by Anwar Ali and one flat track bully from our side left it assuming to be out swing ball ended up being made to look like fool, that overrated ftb is still in our side
 
Sharma/Pujara/Jadeja have panned out well for India.

None from that victorious Pak team made it big. :sanga:angelo

Rohit Sharma is not overrated in ODI's bro. He is one of the best openers out there.
 
very much overrated bro just can't put bat on ball if track is difficult to bat on with quality pacers

Tracks in ODI's are all flat anyways.

Rohit would walk into most teams purely as a batsman in ODI's. Check out his stats in the last 2 years. So you want Rohit to perform on Green Mambas which don't exist for ODI's?

That being said, he should be no where near the Test team.
 
It was a fluke by Anwar Ali due to weather and conditions.

Did you watch Junaid Khan bowl in Ind? That was yet another example of a fluke. He isn't even remotely skilled to pull that off on his own. And he NEVER has in his entire career.

Or do you recall Usman shinwaris banana swing in a domestic match? Yet another fluke.

see you you're self stated that tracks in Odis are flat all over so stats becomes irrelevant because he is being feasted too much on flat tracks the moment ball seams or swings he looks like fool eg. WC t20 vs pak and Bangladesh match

Nothing to do with domestic Cricket.


It was 2006. 3 Countries had started High performance Cricket Centres while 2 had Performance Centres. Pakistan had none.


Anwar Ali got a back injury. He recovered. A Bowling Coach sat with him and said :

Look your action puts alot of strain on your back plus you cannot bowl a delivery which either remains straight or leaves the right hander so your action should be mofified.


Modification of Action was done on Hit and Trial basis. Tuqqa. Assuming it would work.


3 Cricketing countries had high performance centres where there were latest biomechanics machines and other equipment to analyse bowling actions scientifically. They had biomechanics and human movement experts who would sit with qualified certified fast bowling coaches and point out deficiencies of action which put extra strain on certain body parts. The bowling coach used to give his point of view of what he needs in an action to allow the bowler to bowl different variations with similar repeatable action. Than using Science they planned what to do, scientifically the actions used to be changed or finetuned with right training.


Here the bowling Coach tried Hit and trial methodology on his own. The " Tuqqa " did not work.


Anwar lost his Banana swing. He lost his 5-7 kph speed he had gained post WC prior to the injury. Slowed down and never developed an outswinger even with the new action.


All the Hit & Trial method was employed in an Academy. It had nothing to do with domestic cricket or domestic structure.

Sorry. My objection was to the fact that you were saying that being FTB is something bad. Rohit is perfect for LOI format.

Lol it's exactly the kind of thing that's done via fluke and NOT natural.

TRUST me, even these 3 bowlers would've been surprised WHY it's moving so unnaturally.

JUST physics and aerodynamics they didn't have control of that day .
 
A bowling performance like that was surely a fluke. That pitch was one of a kind if one team got bowled out for 105 and the other for 71.
 
Aqib Javed the Career Destroyer showed up and weaved his magic
 
I was more interested in Akhtar Ayub at that time, that 8th wicket at 9:35 was great ball from him.
 
where is that other opening bowler jamshaid ahmed... he bowls like wasim akram's action. looks like he didnt play after this CWC u19

Don't know what's with this rather hubristic consensus that Junaid isn't even 'remotely', as you would put it, skilled. He was your best pacer for quite a few years and the only one capable of taking 5fers. Why don't you appreciate that he's the only international class pacer Pak has produce in years rather than insult him.

You're acting as though he was blocking the way of the next McGrath...Appreciate what you got. You shoukd look at talentspotters post rather than spew pure bullfaeces regarding conditions because if you look closely and actually use your eyes, you'd see its clear as day and there would be a real lack of moisture to support swing.
 
On this day, under the leadership of Sarfaraz Ahmed, Pakistan secured a triumphant victory against India by 38 runs in the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup final in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Young Imad Wasim was also a member of the squad.
