[PICTURES] Taskin Ahmed - Bangladesh's Pace Sensation

[Lords]

My fav BD player. Has good attitude and very likable personality. Hard working and talented too.

I started liking him when i saw his crappy captain yelling at him over nothing.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Seems fit enough to take Dilshan's place as the most annoying face in world cricket.

Decent bowler though

 

[wrong `un]

Bowled better than Rubel and Wahab.

 

[Executioner]

Was bowling poorly upfront, was the reason why we were in the mess in the first place but full credit for his death bowling performance.

Fizz and Taskin could become a formidable bowling pair especially in the death overs. Teams will struggle to score anything over 75 in the last 10. And then you also add Shakib to the mix who can bowl better in the death as well as any spinner in the world(except Narine and Ajmal before their action remodelled)

 

[Xoib]

Bowled full tosses in the final over better batsmen would have tonked him

 

[Executioner]

Bowled full tosses in the final over better batsmen would have tonked him

Bowling full and straight is always a good ploy against tail-enders.

A low full toss won't go for too many runs, but a short ball can be easily edged to the boundary. His prime objective was to bowl full, be it a slight full toss or not. Obviously, can't comapre with Malinga or Gul in his prime, or even Fizz for that matter

 

[Finisher]

Lets see how he bowls against Buttler and co at the death.

Been there done that.

(Took wicket of Butler in the world cup)

In all honesty England juggernaut will be a tough task

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

He looks more a chucker now than before to be frank

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

A good ODI bowler.

If Bangladesh can manage workload of these two injury prone fast bowlers i also believe that Taskin and Mustafizur will form a very good pair in all the formats.They have the abilities. But we don't want to see another Mohammad Zahid of Pakistan who was a phenomenal talent but wasted due to poor management by the then Pakistani management. Both these two needs rest in between matches or series to keep themselves free from injury. They are still quite young and it will take time to develop their bowling muscles strong enough to take workloads of modern cricket.

 

[Mainul]

I watched his action closely . He looks so okay that every other fast bowlers looks chucker to me now.Yaar, you need to take appointment of an opthalmologist soon.Something is seriously wrong with your vision.

You're both mistaken, I believe.

Taskin's action is EXACTLY the same as before he was reported. It is 99% obvious now his reporting and subsequent suspension were politically motivated punitive measures.

If you check still frames, real time video, and slow motion video...everyone can see that his action has undergone no noticeable changes. Yet its now magically "legal" as deemed by the ICC. Why was the same illegal 6 months ago?

Ah yes, I forgot your still photos taken from a camera nearly 100m away with a fairly wide angle shot from quite possibly the worst angle possible that show quite clearly that there isn't a single millimeters difference in the angle of Taskins arm .

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Its not a iphone camera bro. These cameras are 100,000 dollar cameras that can spot ball tampering from 100m away. They can zoom in on a pimple from 100m away.

Plus its the real time and slow motion video footage. Its at leat 720p if not 1080 resolution.

Is it reasonable that after 6 months of allegedly remodelling one's action, there is only millimeter's difference?

And just wait, he might get banned again which would shatter my theory anyways. So need to start worrying right away.

Then I am afraid he might get reported again.

 

[Executioner]

His action looks clean enough to not get reported

 

[street cricketer]

Regardless of his action, I honestly don't get the overly hype behind him from BD fans.

Mustafizur is a sensation no doubt about that, I'm a huge admirer. But Taskin looks like a bowler who can bowl in the good channels at a decent pace. A good bowler? Definitely. A pace sensation? Not sure..

 

[Shutdown Corner]

Then I am afraid he might get reported again.

Very possible since his action hasn't changed an iota...if he in fact was chucking to begin with.

He is hyped because he's already a good bowler and only 21 yo. Has the potential to be a world class quick. Not many bowlers can bowl 90 mph in their teens anywhere, let alone from Bangladesh.

Absolutely agree with you....i will take in form rubel instead of taskin for his ability to reverse the ball...taskin is a good bowler...but not extraordinary one like mustafiz...

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Very possible since his action hasn't changed an iota...if he in fact was chucking to begin with.

Only his slower ball bouncer was considered to be over 15 degrees, the rest of his deliveries were legit.

He did bowl the slower ball bouncer to get Mohammed Nabi's wicket, if you notice carefully his action remained same. If the officials think that the slower ball is 'chucking' then he needs to deliver it in the right way. We can't lose Taskin again, he's a good death bowler.

Dude, he is the only guy from the subcontinent at the moment who has a six pack, also can bowl quick. The guy bench presses 500 pounds

His slower ball bouncer is his cleanest delivery. And its the same one he used in the 2015 world cup vs Scotland. They both had zero visible bends. I have gone through pretty much all his youtube videos which is easy to do since he's only played 25 or so intl matches. Can't find any reasons why he would have been banned if the Brisbane testing center results have no errors. Chennai and Brisbane cannot both be correct since they tested the same thing and got different results.

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Very impressive comeback.

When do BD play outside Asia? Will be interesting to see how he bowls away from home conditions. Did well in the WC as a rookie.

 

[Prince_]

At the moment taskin is easily the 3rd best fast bowler from subcontinent. Only fizz and Bhuvi r ahead of him. If he hadn't been banned unfairly he would've achieved so much more.

No love for Shami bhai?

 

[Executioner]

In ODIs Shami has outperformed everyone from SC. But Fizz and Taskin have potential to overtake him easily.

As for Bumrah, I think he is more effective in the death so important in the shortest format.

Fizz definitely. But Taskin averages like 29 against non minnows in ODIs. Shami averages 24 in the double of Taskin's sample size. I think Taskin is early in his career and we should wait and see before making judgements or hyping him up.

As for Bumrah, his low ODI average is skewed due to a very short sample size. I think he will be a success bowler in T20s but we will see where he stands after 1 year in ODIs.

What do you base this on? He got spanked by Afghanistan and only managed to get the tailenders.

 

[Prince_]

What do you base this on?

This is based on his performance in last three years where he averaged below 25, this is based on his ability to bowl consistently over 90 miles per hour, this is based on his ability to bowl yorker at will during the back end of the innings, this is based on his mesmerizing average of 10 runs per wicket against strong Indian bating lineup and the list goes on and on........

He got spanked by Afghanistan and only managed to get the tailenders.

This was his first match after his ban and he didn't even know whether he would get the chance to play the match or not. Just try to imagine his mental condition in last few weeks and u'll get an idea.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Taskin is going to end Butler's career

How many international matches did he miss during his ban period

Haha valid point.

But tbh with him our bowling would've been a bit more potent in the t20 WC itself.

Nah it wouldn't have, Pakistan still bashed us for 200+ runs. Our only bowler with an intelligent brain is Mustafiz, he creates pressure and picks up wickets. Rest are doodhbath

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Side On of Taskin Ahmed's Runup is so Unusual


Good Bowler though.

He has been bowling rather poorly since his come back. Something is not right.

 

[Executioner]

Pitches are sluggish. Taskin relies on pace and bounce as opposed to Shafiul or Mashrafe.

I love how smart he is. He setup rahmat with 2 excellent spot on yorker and than bowled a bouncer.

But he has bowled a few loose deliveries here and there. We need him against England especially at the death

 

[Statsman]

What a comeback performance after being scrutinized for illegal action!

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

He's bowling with his tail up.

During those replays in reviews that action looks slingy. Hope it's just a one off else will get reported again which will be bad for Desh.

Nothing wrong with slingy action though, what's the issue then?

Not Malinga slingy, other type

 

[Executioner]

Taskin averages below 25 bowling in Subcontinental wickets and I am sure he now has an adequate number of caps to suggest the sample size is good.

I am impressed that he hasn't whithered away just yet. Just gets better and better. Definitely one of the better LOI bowlers in the world right now.

 

[Dios]

I thought match was gone after Taskin was handed the ball again after conceding 15 runs in the over. But he got the breakthrough and then swung the match decisively in Bangladesh's favour with Buttler's wicket. Takes a lot of mental strength to comeback in such a pressure situation after conceding runs early on. He still has a lot of work to do but the potential is definitely there. Fizz and Taskin can take Bangladesh to new heights.

 

[Gordon.Freeman]

Taskin Ahmed is the next Mashrafe Bin Mortaza of Bangladesh, with a lot more pace and a lot less injury...

 

[Hasan2K8]

Great spell from Taskin's 2nd spell. Alhamdullilah BD found a genuine replacement for Mashrafe Mortaza. When Fizz back, BD ODI bowling is beast Just need Al Amin in the side instead of Shafiul.

Mustafizur is injured?

 

[Hasan2K8]

Mustafizur is injured?

Yes he is. Out till maybe NZ series somewhere in Dec.

 

[MMHS]

He has to learn his proper length. Walshi was a master of fast medium length staff - if Taskin matches half of his skills, in these cheap era of cricket, he'll look better bowler than Walshi.

That leg cutter was picture perfect - almost thought G-DK-L was bowling in his second spell

 

[imrankhannsu]

Taskin has a few issues:
- very rigid run up
- bowls short bouncers which are ineffective
- doesn't adjust when batsman is on the moves
- his airplane celebration is a bit cringe

If he can work on these, he should be a better player

He has only one issue - he thinks himself to be Allen Donald without the ability. If someone can slap that thought out of him, he'll be one of the best pacers in the game.

 

[Executioner]

His issue is he not only thinks himself as Allan Donald, but also has the impression that Allan Donald would be successful by bowling bouncers to batsman who grew up in SA/Eng. Rubel has the same problem too.

Because it works for him at home. Today, what Josh did to him, would have fetched him at least 2 wickets in Dhaka League, if not 4.

Walsh needs to make him understand that he is too small & there is a big world outside Dhaka League.

 

[Pakpak]

Yes he is. Out till maybe NZ series somewhere in Dec.

Ah, sucks.

I hope he is fit for PSL.

I am pretty sure he gets smacked by local batsman for his short pitch stuff. It happened in BPL 2015 already.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Taskin will be ordinary if Mashrafee retires, without Mashrafee Taskin will be a Maruti Suzuki without an engine.

 

[Suleiman]

Could be tearaway with his physique, if he had an MJ or Shobby type action.

Rawalpindi wala Shobby

He's not naturally muscular though. He's a gym rat. He used to be a skinny kid. Even in his BPL debut in 2013 you can see how thin he is.

 

[Surf]

Taskin is so young and so damn good, he is the best bowler in the subcontinent hands down. All respect for him. The way he was seaming and swinging the ball he is too good. He is much better than overrated Amir.

That would be his country man, Mustafizur.

Taskin needs to get control over his economy.

Aamir averages 25 @ 4.6
Taskin 25 @ 5.8

Aamir is clearly better due to his economy.

 

[Executioner]

Taskin and Fizz make a lethal combo.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Taskin Bieber, Taskin decided to follow his Idol. Never say Never

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

What ?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What ?

That reaction

 

[MenInG]

1/20 off 3 so far for Taskin but some superb catches by him also vs Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup

 

[sweep_shot]

He needs to be more consistent.

He tends to bowl 4 good balls and then 2 boundary balls (ruins the over).

 

[FearlessRoar]

Taskin Ahmed's excellence with the ball won him the Player of the Series award against Zimbabwe

A bowler to watch out from Bangladesh during ICC T20I World Cup 2024

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Superb bowling by Taskin Ahmed, registered magnificent figures of 2/19 in 4 overs against South Africa in ICC WC 2024.

Taskin apologised for arriving late before India match, says Shakib

The unexpected reason behind Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed not featuring against India in the recent T20 World Cup has recently garnered attention. Reports disclosed that Taskin overslept on the match day and missed the team bus, a fact later confirmed by former captain Shakib Al Hasan today.

Bangladesh faced India in a Super Eights match on June 22, following a heavy defeat to Australia. Taskin, being the vice-captain and a key figure in the pace attack, was noticeably absent, causing a stir in the Bangladesh media. The team fielded a batting-heavy lineup with only two pacers, replacing Taskin with middle-order batter Jaker Ali Anik, and subsequently lost by a staggering 50 runs in Antigua and Barbuda.

Speaking to reporters before leaving for USA to play in the franchise-based Twenty20 tournament Major League Cricket (MLC), Shakib said, "I don't know what caused it (the news breaking out); maybe to explain Taskin's exclusion as he is the vice-captain of the team. When he doesn't play, people naturally have questions. Now it has to be explained.

"Actually, what happened was, the team bus leaves at a certain time, and usually the bus never waits. If someone ever misses, maybe they get on the next car or if the manager acquires a car or a taxi. Or yes. Since the West Indies is a difficult place, communication facilities were actually a bit difficult there."

Taskin apologised for arriving late before India match, says Shakib

“So, when Taskin actually had reached the field, it was probably five to ten minutes before the toss," said Shakib

It seems like there must be another issue within the team because it's hard to believe that a plyer would keep sleeping when they have an international match. There must be some other reason that Shakib didn't disclose.

Taskin Ahmed rubbishes bizarre ‘overslept’ reports of missing T20WC match vs IND: 'I wasn't going to play anyway'​

Bangladesh star Taskin Ahmed has refuted the reports of getting dropped from Playing XI for the T20 World Cup clash against India after he overslept and missed the team bus. Taskin, vice-captain of the Bangladesh team, missed out on the crucial Super 8 clash in the mega ICC event. The Bangla Tigers made a change to their XI from their last match and replaced Taskin with Jaker Ali. They went ahead with just 2 pacers against India and lost the match in Antigua by 50 runs.

The Bangladesh all-rounder decided to come forward and shut all the rumours and admitted that he was a bit late but arrived at the ground on time.

"I was a little late, but I reached at the ground before the toss," ESPN Cricinfo quoted Taskin as saying to Dhaka-based newspaper Ajker Patrika.

"I arrived at the ground around 30-40 minutes before the toss. I missed the team bus. The bus left the hotel at 8.35am," he added.

The 29-year-old revealed that he was not supposed to play the match as the management had already decided to go with a different combination.

"I left for the ground at 8.43am. I almost reached the ground with the bus. It is not as if they didn't pick me because I arrived late. I wasn't going to play anyway," he added.

Maybe the alarm clock didn't sound well. Next time, he should use a tiger's roar as the alarm
