What's new

[PICTURES/VIDEOS] ] Is Hasan Nawaz the second coming of Inzamam-ul-Haq or Imam-ul-Haq?

Just a gentle reminder guys that against big teams his consistency might drop. But he is still a gun player. So keep supporting him.
 
Hasan in recent PCB podcast told that he handles and performs really well under pressure. Pointed out his domestic innings and even the 100 in chase v New Zealand.

That's a really positive sign because handling pressure and not chocking in sports is really hard to learn if you're not natural at it.
 
His real test will against top teams. But so far, he looked promising in the middle order... Keep going

Exactly. It’s very refreshing what we are seeing right now and naturally fans will get excited more than usual because we longer hold the privilege to see generational talent come through often but my approach to these kind of cases has changed now.

Best way to assess the talents of a player - to determine its determine is:

1) Can he survive longer than 5 years at International level?
2) How will the player do against top sides?
3) How will he perform in the longer formats?
4) Can he win matches for us against top sides?
 
The best thing about him I noticed in yesterday innings that when the boundaries dried up due to good bowling from BD then Hasan showed respect to the bowl instead of going all out attack and in process losing his wicket like Shadab , Aga and Farhan , He played a calm and mature innings under pressure and against good death bowling and still batted at 200 s/r while remaining not out , this is a great sign of becoming a great batsman in future.

However his game against good quality 140k+ pace bowling is clearly a work in progress and his game against bounce and swing is pretty mediocre to be honest but with a champion mindset and nerves of steel I am pretty sure he will overcome his weaknesses.
So the great thing about him is that he can play all the shots and can also put price on his wicket which is just non existent quality for Pak batters in our history of cricket except for Inzi and Saeed and Zaheer and Majid and Yousuf no other batter in our history had these two qualities together.
 
No doubt he is breathe of fresh air for this poor middle order but he has some glaring deficiencies like struggle against 145+ bowler and also his off side game is very limited. Let's see how he perform against top team that will be his real test

T20 in middle overs is all about dealing with spin and he is definitely one of the best batter of spin we have ever produced.
On par with Younis , Malik and even Miandad.
 
He has issues vs 145+ bowlers? Oh wow. He’s a really unique Pakistani player that has those issues. None of our players are particularly good at facing that pace.

In particular the favourites of so some of those pushing that agenda.

And for those not pushing that agenda and trying to appear to be “balanced”, don’t be so scared about getting excited about a player. Enjoy it, not everything has to be doom and gloom. Allow yourself to dream.

I like what I see but the jury is still out, as it would be on any player new at this level. I hope he solves our 5 problem at the moment and then moves up to 4 as he grows. Lots to like
 
Things to like about him
Long levers - Takes on the ball early
High and Fast bat Swing - hits the ball hard and clean.
Good against spin.

Things he needs to work on.
No to little offside game against pace bowlers. Good teams can easily bog him down.
Vulnerable against short pitch bowling.

You are right. There are very few 145+ bowlers in world cricket anyway. It's a non issue overall.

Bro don’t you know? Babar and Rizwan treat 145kmh bowlers like spinners?! They hit them for 2-3 sixes every over!

Yup!

Also hits from a strong base.
Doesn’t have 1 or 2 release shots. Appears to hit naturally all round the ground.
Remind me a lot of the young Dhoni when he first burst on to the scene. Used to hit the ball hard and clean.

For improvement:
His game against swing/seam was also exposed
Strike rotation against pace
