[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Is Shaheen Shah Afridi trying to become an all-rounder due to the loss of pace from his injury?

[zarak]

Most encouraging thing about 1st t20 was Afridi’s pace. He bowled up in the 140s after a long time. I felt his run up and action was much stronger than it has been in a long time.

yeah ran in fast

It's t20. You can bowl 6 balls at that pace. Improvement will come when we see him bowl the same pace in ODIs and Tests

Criteria to become an all roumder in Pakistan is quite simple.. just slog few closed eye hits and if it connects then u wil be considered as an all rounder.

Shaheen Afridi thrown his wicket without scoring any run against South Africa... dont know who consider him an all rounder when he cant block a single delivery.

He can only hit some big shots like a slogger.

This bloke is a choker sadly.
Amir would have been calm in that situation. Thankfully Naseem doesnt choke.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

He’s got one shot, an ugly slog sweep towards deep mid wicket. No game awareness, no intentions of taking singles or two’s. Pakistan could be 9 down with 1 to win of 50 balls and Shaheen will look to play the same shot.

He’ll be coming in at 4-5 in the PSL, and if any Pakistani national team bowler gets taking to the cleaners against him then drop him from the national team.

He is a number 11 and would be a number 11 in every other team in the world

 

[shamaan]

He should be made to bat at 9 behind Naseem that was an brainless shot.

Hesitant to call it a cameo but good striking from Shaheen in the 2nd ODI against South Africa.
