Pakistan's future pace trio in ODIs?

[super hitter]

Pakistan's pace trio's have been quite popular in the past, However, it is now that we aren't able to find a consistent trio and keep on changing them around.

But I have a feeling that Pakistan's going to come up with a new trio in the new era including

1) M.Amir
2) Hassan Ali
3) ?

Number 3 is the blank to be filled, it can certainly not be filled by the likes of Wahab, Junaid since they are past their peak. Muhammad abbas is also 28 and still not the best of the lot?
Sohail Khan would've been my pick if he was 26 at least.

Who do you think can be the 3rd man in the trio?

Rumman Raees; age 25

An amazing death bowler, who has got the pace, still not my favorite. Don't think will ever be able to stay for enough long with enough consistency.

Usman Shinwari; age 23

An evergreen bowler, from Khyber agency (they don't need any fitness requirements cuz they're the fittest), who seems to be shining soon. Still too young and inexperienced to judge him.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Amir, Hasan, Bashir, Irfan, Ehtisham should be our five man pace attack.

 

[sadida97]

Amir, Hasan, Bashir, Irfan, Ehtisham should be our five man pace attack.

why don't you rate junaid ? he bowled at 142 kph today...

 

[Chief Destroyer]

why don't you rate junaid ? he bowled at 142 kph today...

There's nothing to rate and his action is not clean.

 

[coy0607]

Abbas isn't ideal, but may be the guy.. especially because the attack needs another opening bowler

that slot can be made up from one or two allrounders- Ashraf and Yamin aren't very good, but can work as support bowlers for Hasan and Amir

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

why don't you rate junaid ? he bowled at 142 kph today...

It was a pleasure to see old flavour of Junaid Khan today.

Really pleased.


Hope he improves his fitness further and stays fit.


Pace Trio today was excellent. All are young. All 3 should be in line for 2019 WC.

How come Amir is your number one choice? What exactly has he done? Shocking. He is yet to take a wicket in this tournament. Now please don't tell me his economy was good, as we need attacking bowlers in ODI cricket. Hasan Ali is my number one pick, followed by Junaid for the time being, as he took 2 wickets today. Amir should be axed after this tournament, he is playing purely based on his reputation, which is quite unfair. Rumman should be selected in place of him against Sri Lanka. Raees will do better than Amir, as he has the variety, and has a decent List A record.

[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] sometimes you get so lost in overhyping some players that you think pointing out the correct flaws is 'hate'.

Wicket wicket and wicket!

The only reason you can dump AMir,

such a professional he is...

The way he opens with the bowl, Don't think anyone can...economy is always below 6.00...A treat to watch when he adds aggression to the bowl, truly warms up the game

 

[super hitter]

True.

But if its more then him, i.e if the whole forum is against you...then you can easily call it hate...go to the match thread for further elaboration

 

[Mamoon]

We have Hasan as the strike bowler and Amir as the defensive sidekick, so we need one more wicket-taker.

 

[Syed1]

I thought I would never see the day but Amir was our worst pacer on show today behind Hasan and Juni.

Not a long time prospect.

Still the best swinger I believe.

Aamir has been the sole reason we have not given aggressive starts away. Today he controlled one end with excellent spell and junaid backed him well and due to low run rate , spinners were able to chokehold on SA. With aamir gone we can b in a situation where his replacemnt starts leaking runs and we r suddenly looking at 100 in 13/14 overs. And today he got the ball reversing as well with unbelieveably gr8 yorkers.

Remain to the point or else I should be again educating you about dozen threads of yours which backfired.


Who has over hyped Junaid Khan ? Me ?


Khuda ko maan.


I have heavily criticised him when he deserved it.


But It doesn't hurt my ego when the same guy performs well I have the audacity to appreciate him.


While you prefer to bump a thread wrt his Action when he does well while at other times say dekha I told u He is finished.


Were ICC umpires and match referees Junaid's Phuppi k puttar in series vs Australia in Australia ? WTH they did not report him ?


You bumped the action thread when He did well.


I won't stop you and MRSN for the Divine missions. Carry On. I will read and admire.

 

[MilkyWay]

Aint the defensive sidekick. He is the main pressure builder. Look at bowlers when bowling with aamir vs the same bowlers paired with another n the diff will b clearly visible.

 

[TeymurBlake]

I would potentially look at some other pace bowlers. But I would take Rumman Raees from those options but just. I like Usman Shinwari, but I unfortunately not seen enough of him

 

[Mamoon]

Aint the defensive sidekick. He is the main pressure builder. Look at bowlers when bowling with aamir vs the same bowlers paired with another n the diff will b clearly visible.

He is generally economical, but can't buy a wicket to save his life. He is the definition of a defensive bowler, and they do build pressure.

 

[CricFan2012]

If Raees can crank up his pace then he's a must. He needs to be able to hit up to 145 with 135 average

He's a smart bowler like Hasan and now we're seeing how great bowlers with brains are, gone are the days of Rahat and Sami's.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Not a long time prospect.

What doesn't make a 27 years old Fast medium bowler longterm prospect ?


He was terrible for 3 years due to bad fitness. Now that He is bouncing back and starting to perform now He becomes one who is not longterm prospect ?


Let the CT end and than take out knives to discuss who should be dropped and replaced. Meanwhile appreciate all 3 pacers who were excellent today.

 

[Square Drive]

This current one. Amir, Hasan, Junaid. Fantastic trio.

I'd have Sohail Khan and Rumman Raees there as the other two pacers in the squad, with one of Aamer Yamin/Fahim Ashraf (preferably the former) in the squad as the pace all-rounder.

 

[Hawkeye]

You bumped the action thread when He did well.

When on earth do you bump a thread? Of course when a bowler bowls and is playing! You wanted me to bump the thread in the India match when he wasn't playing? )

You bump a chucking thread when a bowler chucks, it's not about performance.

I never under appreciated him man.

He can stay until 2019 World Cup and even after that with the current form.

But, the thread is about the future trio who'll rule the next decade, Junaid at 35, can't take it...He's physically weak and as he crosses his 30's, will start declining.

However, loved him today, was a better leader then Wahab is, advising Amir throughout.

This post seems to be utterly meaningless.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Despite Averaging 57 with the ball in last 12 Odi's Junaid Khan still averages 28 with the ball.

Good thing is that He looks much fitter and in much better rhythm. He needs to put in more hardwork and he will improve further. Hats off to Azhar & trainers.

Amir & Hasan also average 27-28 like JK.


If JK stays injury free, gains muscle than He will be as good as pre 2013.


Atif Jabbar should replace Wahab while Rumman, Bashir should be in Pakistan A team.

Amir hardly gets unfit unlike Junaid...You can never trust the consistency of Junaid's pace...I highly doubt it.

Let him play a few more matches and we maybe able to unify by an identical conclusion.

The guy bowls with same action gets tonked you don't bump JK action thread. The guy performs well with same action you bump the thread. In Urdu its called " Bughz "


The way many have Bugh e Moaawiya against Misbah ul Haq.



On the tour of Auatralia JK's identical twin wasn't playing for Pakistan. Were the umpires referees Phuppi k Khaala k Maamay Chaachay Taaey k puttar of JK who did not report a blatant chucker ? ?

There is no evidence to back this claim of yours.

Be objective.


Jk has been fighting one injury since last 3 years and that's knee trouble. You are too young to know his complete history of NCA medical panel destroying his 3 years of Int Cricket by terrible treatment. When he needed 4 weeks rest they were making him do rehab exercises where upon MRI teo weeks later his knees swelled like anything and there was severe fluid accumulation in knees twice more than before. This was how it messed up.


Had Jk been naturally unfit would he have played that many back to back tests in UAE, SL, BD dead tracks in severe heat from 2010 to 2013 without getting injured even once ?


Amir has had atleast 5 different injuries since his comeback.


Be objective kindly. Out if JK, Hasan and Amir my favourite is Amir but that does not mean I should mold facts to justify my love or hate for him or others.

Wahab is someone I aspired the most until the past performances.

[Chief Destroyer]

Are you paying the slow over rates ?

In the squad, not the bowling attack.

 

[zyrus]

That "trio" mentality is 90sh. We need 4-5 bowlers and keep rotating them. Junaid, Amir, Hasan, Ruman, Usman can do the job, we can also bring in Yamin or Ehsan when all are down.

I don't buy containing in ODI cricket. Honestly, Hasan is doing what Amir was supposed to do, because of his reputation. Amir is playing solely based on his reputation.

I agree, Amir isn't the best bowler in this team, however dropping him would be extreme.

Why extreme? Does he own this team or what? He has been mediocre in ODI cricket since his comeback, so just because he has been economical, he shouldn't be dropped? We have lowered our standards.

Sometimes you have to look past results as well, look at potential. He is not doing any harm, he keeps it tight. He just needs to bowl a more attacking line and length, which can literally change in 1 match, someone just has to get it in his head.

A quick question, who else are you going to bring in?

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

There's nothing to rate and his action is not clean.

I wonder why hasn't any umpires, commies, county side, franchise cricket teams, and INDIA haven't noticed this simplistic error in Junaid's bowling....Truly Baffling

You're talking way too much sense for this forum bro.....

Then I'd probably say props to him ..... The first of his kind and truly a genius who fools so many people having access to advance imaging technology and super slow mo's.....

 

[Chief Destroyer]

This is not the first time a bowler has gotten away with chucking for a long period. The umpires don't re-watch every ball to see if he's chucking or not. They only bother if they catch the bowler chucking live. Like I said, Junaid mixes it up well and wears full sleeves all the time.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

You're talking way too much sense for this forum bro.....

Look brother Ahmed, when CT squad was announced there was a thread asking that with which selection you have major disagreement ? I categorically singled out Junaid Khan. My argument was that his fitness is very poor and in last 3 years He has played 12 Odi's averaging 57 with the ball which is not acceptable at all.


But I am not a blind hater or a blind lover of any player.

When JK will look fitter to my eyes, will bowl with improved speeds, will take wickets, will perform better than as TSPK I will have no choice at all but to praise him because He deserves it. If He proves me wrong for Pakistan than I will be more than happy. I dont endorse hypocrisy and I won't try to give any justification to undermine Jumaid Khan.


I don't rate Ahmed Shehzad the opener. I point out deficiencies in his games abd criticise him but the day he does well whether in domestic or Int Cricket I praise him and he deserves it than.


When I first saw Fakhar in Ramazan Cups 2012 than in domestic T20's 2013-2014 he impressed me more than what I saw in 2016-2017. Why ? Because his balance was better, crouched less and had a better game through the offside against Pace. Today he showed improvement so I praised him along with Grant flower and Mickey Arthur and want him to improve further. This is how it should be in my opinion.


I do not believe that we are here for Agendas and to feed our likes, dislikes, egos and arrogance. For me rational analysis with Minimum of Bias is key. Nobody is capable of being proven right 100 % times. Sometimes even in developed world a player proves the team management and selection committee wrong. If you make a judgement honestly than you should not have any regrets whatsoever.


I think when Pakistan lost Amir & Asif due to Spot fixing there was a huge void to be filled. JK did extremely well in both Tests and Odi's from 2010 to 2013. He was Excellent, had grear stats if you consider that he played most of the Cricket om flat dead surfaces remaining super fit for a long time in hot humid conditions. So, if JK bowls like pre ban than I want him in Pakistan team ahead of all yes all domestic Youngsta beauties and He would deserve that. I just wish that He stays fit and improves his physique further. I am glad with what Azhar and Pak team & NCA trainers have done with him. More hardwork needed and He must ensure to remain injury free aswell as controversy free.


God forbid if he gets reported no problem. He will be tested at ICC accredited labs and than we will talk once the results are out. I would love him to either clear the Tests straight away like Taskin Ahmed of BD or clear it with minor adjustments like Al Amin Hossein of BD. Hopefully He is within 15 degrees for all his variations. Until this is not proven otherwise I will keep saying that He looks within 15 degrees others can say otherwise NP but those who pick this up specially when JK performs than be it be anyone I shall raise my voice.

 

[JibranAnsari]

I like Zia ul Haq and i know no one else likes him here. His action is so effortless and is capable to bowling at high speeds without much effort. Hope some work is done on h by good bowling coach , he is a diamond in rough.

 

[PakSarZameen]

The Amir-Junaid-Hasan trio needs to be given an extended run. 2-3 series at least.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

I want a back-up fourth medium pacer in there instead of shadab, imad, hafeez, fakhar, and malik.

that is like 5 spin bowling options. one of them has to be dropped for a seam bowling all-rounder.

 

[Syed1]

Because he mixes it up well. He chucks the effort balls.

Yeah not one single ump or ref can see this mixing, but our very own PP expert Chief Destroyer can see it.


Why even have biomechanic testing we can just employ you and you can use your superman vision to tell who is chucking and who is not.

Pace Trio today was excellent. All are young. All 3 should be in line for 2019 WC.

True.

Not a long time prospect.

What doesn't make a 27 years old Fast medium bowler longterm prospect ?


He was terrible for 3 years due to bad fitness. Now that He is bouncing back and starting to perform now He becomes one who is not longterm prospect ?


Let the CT end and than take out knives to discuss who should be dropped and replaced. Meanwhile appreciate all 3 pacers who were excellent today.

The More you appreciate Azhar Mehmood the lesser it would be. As he says JK's pace revival project is midway atm.


Before CT I felt that the worst CT selection was JK who was averaging 57 with the ball with a SR above 60 and ER above 6 in last 3 years.


But amazing comeback from that horrible position to be amongst top 3 pacers of CT averaging under 20 with a SR of 25 and ER of 4.58. Brilliant.


As per Azhar's interview he made slight technical adjustments with Junaid which improved his accuracy and pace. More work in off season 4 weeks camp at NCA will follow. Well done to JK for improving his fitness. More improvement needed.


[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] Brother, " Rubbish " word & "Chucks" needs rest.

Like I've said multiple times, this trio is good enough to bring back the era of 220 par score.

Junaid, Amir and Hassan are all wicket takers and match winners on their day.

Good to see some competition

Junaids knees tend to give way so we need good bench strength

Junaids knees tend to give way so we need good bench strength

PCB should handle him with utmost care. He is a strike* bowler. Should be part of squad and be rested to let his knees recover.


*As of 19/06/17:
Junaid Khan: 62 ODIs 94 wickets (2965 deliveries)
Bhuvi Kumar: 64 ODIs 68 wickets (3128 deliveries)

Like I've said multiple times, this trio is good enough to bring back the era of 220 par score.

exactly these 3 and we should also groom faheem ashraf as the pace all rounder
he has potential and i hope these guys ll become the mainstays of our new era

 

[Pete Rose]

I just want Fahim Ashraf to be groomed as the allrounder.

Not just him but all 3 of the pacers, we have come close to bowling amir to the ground on a few occasions.

Good thing they all have big rest now

More specifically on Junaid, after injuries his biggest issue imo is that he cant handle being the leader of an attack. Whenever thats happened he has crumbled.

Right now though if he stays fit he is brillant as a third seamer because he is actually very smart and quite skill full.

Plus people forget how brillant he was at the death and continue to be so as he showed vs Eng. I think Amir and him compliment each other perfectly

Yes, He is vital for Pakistani LOI revival. His batting is better than all allrounders, more like a modern day batsman. Pakistan need a seaming allrounder, we already have 4/5 spin allrounders.

Shadab and Fahim as allrounders could serve very well for us in 2019 WC.

Shadab and Fahim both have huge potential.

[super hitter]

I wonder if the tables have turned now...

 

[babajee]

Amir
Hasan
Junaid

I like Usman but I have the feeling he will give us shameful humiliation against a top team

 

[ManFan]

A future ODI attack of...

Hasan
Shaheen
Fahim
Shadab
Usman/Amir/Junaid (rotation)
Agha Salman

Mouthwatering to say the least.

 

[Hasan123]

Amir
Hasan
Junaid

I like Usman but I have the feeling he will give us shameful humiliation against a top team

Shinwari deserves a chance. He should start ahead of Junaid.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Junaid should be our 1st choice. Because he brings energy. Mental toughness to the game.. he is player who always gives his best

 

[Greenstorm]

Shaheen should be our third pacer in WC 19 as he brings something different with his height.

 

[aloo paratha]

the 5 pacers in the squad should be

Junaid
Amir
Hasan
Shaheen
Usman

Junaid, Amir and Hasan to play against stronger sides, whereas attack should consist of Junaid, Usman and Shaheen against the likes of Bangladesh. Faheem to play all games.

 

[Square Drive]

Amir
Hasan
Usman

Junaid
Shaheen

Faheem plays all games. Rumman standby.

 

[New Yorker]

Amir
Hasan
Usman

Junaid
Shaheen

Faheem plays all games. Rumman standby.

In the long run the best trio will be Hasan, Usman and Shaheen,

Amir to be picked only for WC finals.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Junaid should be the leader of the attack since Amir is acting all primadonna with his mood swings, keep him benched until he comes back to his senses.

Meanwhile, Junaid, Hasan, Rana, Shinwari/Shah and Shadab should be the bowling lineup then.
