Any of aussie pacers > best of Pak pacers

 

[ExplicitAI]

What's wrong with Sohail Khan? This guy picks up more wickets than the others anyway, a much more hardworking cricketer.

 

[Rayyman]

Any of aussie pacers > best of Pak pacers

Starc+Hazlewood > Pak pacers > Rest of Aussie pacers

[khanz141]

Rahat in front of Sohail... Based on what, 4+ years of Rahat Mediocrity?

 

[Speedster777]

1- Hazelwood
2- Starc
3- Bird
4- Amir

The rest don't even deserve a ranking.

 

[Abdullah719]

Rahat in front of Sohail... Based on what, 4+ years of Rahat Mediocrity?

The problem is that there are two Rahats.

They share each over.

One of them bowls jaffas.

The other one bowls short and wide rubbish.

 

[Major]

Starc
Amir
Hazelwood
Sohail Khan
Rahat Ali
Bird
Imran Khan
Sayers(who is he?)

 

[Slog]

I dunno why but I have a bad feeling Sayers wil take lot of wickets against us

 

[New Yorker]

The other one bowls short and wide rubbish.

Also known as mediocre Rahat

To be fair there are two Sohail's; first innings and second

But on recent form he's a cut above

 

[WC-Passion]

Starc
Hazelwood
Amir
Sohail Khan
Bird
Rahat Ali
Imran Khan
Sayers

 

[New Yorker]

Starc
Amir
Hazelwood
Sohail Khan
Rahat Ali
Bird
Imran Khan
Sayers(who is he?)

No chance Amir is better than Hazelwood

 

[Ellipsism]

It's quite amusing seeing PP'ers underrate Bird. He's exactly the sort of bowler the Pakistani batsman struggle against; tall, hit the deck with a bit of nibble.

Hazlewood
Starc
Amir
Bird
Sohail
Sayers
Rahat
Imran

 

[aloo paratha]

Starc
Hazelwood
Sohail
Bird
IK
Rahat

Don't know Sayers so I can't really put him anywhere.

 

[Ellipsism]

I dunno why but I have a bad feeling Sayers wil take lot of wickets against us

Doubt he will get picked ahead of Bird unless Australia decide to go with four seamers.

 

[Slog]

Starc
Hazelwood
Sohail
Bird
IK
Rahat

Don't know Sayers so I can't really put him anywhere.

lol no amir?

 

[Slog]

Rahat in front of Sohail... Based on what, 4+ years of Rahat Mediocrity?

I was contemplating putting him infront of Amir

I am a Rahat fan and i Know he would do well.

 

[Rayyman]

Besides OP, everybody forgot about Wahab.

 

[Major]

Besides OP, everybody forgot about Wahab.

He is separate kind of bowler. He relies on the old ball instead of the new

 

[aloo paratha]

lol no amir?

Lol oops I forgot, after Sohail, before Bird.

 

[EliteCynical]

Besides OP, everybody forgot about Wahab.

I didn't

 

[aloo paratha]

Besides OP, everybody forgot about Wahab.

Wahab is a hard sort of guy to rate, when he is on fire he is definitely Pakistans best bowler, but sometimes he's very wayward and lacks impact.

 

[Rayyman]

I didn't

You posted like 10 seconds before me. Didn't see it. Sorry.

 

[kingusama92]

What's wrong with Sohail Khan? This guy picks up more wickets than the others anyway, a much more hardworking cricketer.

He's not hardworking. Atrocious fitness levels.

Has never bowled well in the 2nd innings of a test match because his body gives out and the speed drops.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

I dunno why but I have a bad feeling Sayers wil take lot of wickets against us

He swings the ball both ways at a nagging length. Very much possible.

 

[Hawkeye]

Lots of wrist slitting going on here from what I see.

Bowlers who have totally failed or not performed good enough apart from one country being given top choices.

1. Asif (can't be ignored)
2. Hazlewood
3. Amir
4. Starc
5. Rahat

Doesn't really matter after that.
[MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] what's yours?

 

[Bilal7]

Top four are pretty obvious. Hazelwood, Starc, Amir and Riaz. After that I'd give Rahat the nod over Bird but it doesn't really matter. Australia has the better pace attack for sure.

 

[QalandarFan]

1. Starc
2. Hazlewood
3. Amir
4. Rahat Ali
5. Wahab Riaz

Dunno about rest.

 

[ExplicitAI]

He's not hardworking. Atrocious fitness levels.

Has never bowled well in the 2nd innings of a test match because his body gives out and the speed drops.

Still picks up more wickets and scores more runs than useless Wahab.

 

[Junaids]

What's wrong with Sohail Khan? This guy picks up more wickets than the others anyway, a much more hardworking cricketer.

Not going to play.

Because of the 7 left-handed Aussies I think it's a foregone conclusion (for LBW reasons) that Pakistan will go in with three left-arm quicks.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Starc and Hazlewood are in a league of their own.

Amir is a distant 3rd.

Bird and Rahat tied for 4th.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Not going to play.

Oh yeah true but he's been better than most of our other bowlers. Very underrated player he is.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

I have a feeling Hazelwood would be tougher to negotiate for Pakistani batsmen than Starc.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Wahab
Starc
Amir
Hazlewood
Rahat

 

[Jan Sher]

Lol @ rating Amir ahead of Imran Khan.

Imran Khan is our best Test fast bowler, if given a game, he will outperform everyone yet again, just like he did in NZ.

 

[Jan Sher]

Starc will fail big time, Hazlewood will be ok. Australia will lose 3-0, no chance for them!

 

[Jan Sher]

Starc and Hazlewood are overrated, especially Starc when it comes to Test cricket. Both are gonna have a mediocre series.
