POTW : xricket

[MenInG]

An excellent technical analysis of what could be wrong with Mohammad Amir by comparing him to another left-armer, Trent Boult, is this week's POTW!

Well done to [MENTION=138349]xricket[/MENTION] - Congratulations!

Ok, so, yeah, the ball was swinging and probably in new zealand it does help pacers a lot, but they have to do the basics right to pick up the wickets.

Here are few examples:



Notice, how close he gets to the stumps as he delivers ball, and the up right seam (which doesn't wobble). and the full length deliveries on middle stump

And notice, a contrast with pakistani bowlers:

I mean, how difficult is it really to improve? This is frustrating for me, as I want to see our bowlers bowl to their potential, but it's like they try their best to not bowl like that.

Take an example of Amir:
1- Bowls with wobbly seam
2- Pitches the ball short
3- Pitches the ball too wide of off stump
4- Pitches the ball too much on leg side, to compensate for point 3.
5- Delivers the ball away from stumps


Do we even want to improve as a team, or what?

I would be interested in knowing your thoughts

Good analysis and deserved POTW.

Amir has had the same issues for pretty much 3 years yet we have seen literally no improvement.

Insightful post. Congratulations!

A fan can spot it but well paid coaches cannot. Good job xrcicket.

Interesting ad though.

Amir needs to be dropped for Junaid.

But it seems certain individuals with influence do not like Junaid so he warms the bench until the losses become too much to bear.

If and when junaid is fit, he should start ahead of aamir

Excellent analysis and needs a read for those who have missed it

Excellent stuff.

Amir used to bowl from close to the stumps early in his career, now as you have pointed out he has been been really inconsistent with his seam position and point of delivery.
