Should Mohammad Amir be picked for the World Cup?

[JattMaula]

There is nothing Pakistani abt it.Its more of Australian type.It was Pakistani if Amir was picked

Pakistan thing about this whole thing is yet to come.

A Brocken leg. A last minute call. The epic comeback.

( Alexa play "Mama Said Knock You Out")

I can see it.

Hasnain has alot of pace but that doesnt mean he wont get carted. Because his control is still very minimal and he can be all over the place. Still think Amir can make the squad. He has the best opportunity to prove himself in the ODI series against England

Hearing there was a practice match today and Amir bowled very well and took a few wickets.

Who'd have thought?

News on any other performers?

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hope Amir performs well against England and cements his place for WC he is too good as compare to Faheem, Junaid

 

[MenInG]

Amir has an opportunity in the England series [to make the final cut]," Sarfaraz said at the PCB headquarters in Lahore. "He has been working hard here and has shown that in his bowling in the training camp. In the practice match yesterday, he looked good while bowling. We will try to provide him an opportunity in England so he can perform.

Quotes from Sarfaraz Ahmed presser today.

 

[giri26]

Test matches, he was sensational.

That was before the ban. He wasn't anything special in the two series after that. Sensational is a loose word. He was out bowled by Sohail Khan in 2016 and Mohammad Abbas in 2018.

 

[MenInG]

Amir and Yasir - two of the luckiest cricketers around - both have a huge mountain to climb to make them useful for this squad

 

[MenInG]

Inzi speaking on TV

"We have given Amir a chance as he is a quality bowler and if he does well on the tour of England then we can consider him for the World Cup but when some people say that he is a senior bowler and deserves a place then that is difficult to accept as performance is an important criteria for selection"

Nasser Hussain on the Amir subject:


PakPassion.net: Only 5 wickets in his last 14 One-day internationals and now having to fight for a place in the World Cup squad. What do you make of Mohammad Amir's recent form in One-day internationals?

Nasser Hussain: Obviously there has been a lot of disappointment from Pakistan fans regarding Mohammad Amir and I am sure that for such a high-quality bowler Amir himself is disappointed in these statistics and his output. It seems that the white ball isn't swinging as much for him these days. When I recall Mohammad Amir at his best, he was bowling those big booming inswingers and then the one going across the batsman became a threat. When the ball hasn't swung for him, what is his plan B? There's been a drop-off in pace from Mohammad Amir, and perhaps it's a confidence thing. But having said all of this, I see him as a big-match player and one only has to think back to how he bowled in the Champions Trophy final and the players he got out. There is no doubt that he gets great players out when he is on-song. It doesn't matter who you are, with his recent statistics, nobody has a God-given right to be on the team sheet day-in, day-out and you have to perform. Like I said, Pakistan will always have top-quality pace-bowlers so competition for places will be intense. I think they have done the right thing with Mohammad Amir, go to England, play in the 5-match series against England, the door is not closed on you and we will pick from that 17-man squad and let's see if you can get back to your best. We want you to do well, but you have to make sure you put in the performances in those 5 ODIs against England to play in the World Cup.

So the big day is here - can he repeat CT17 heroics at The Oval?

Mohammad Amir situation update:

He is suffering from a throat infection and has fever.

====

Unlucky for him and time running out for his attempts at redemption.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Who knows he might not even get a chance in the Odi series but would still be selected in the WC squad in place of one of the other bowlers who gets tonked against England.

I see it happening most likely .

There's no other choice.

He's the only hope we have in fast bowling.

 

[MenInG]

Doing well Amir but we need more from him.

 

[sadida97]

beillint bowling… but pace is disappointing

 

[bujhee kom]

He is easily your best bowler and 2nd best seamer in Asia after Bumrah.

 

[MenInG]

7 overs and just 19 runs and one wicket - seems to be a level above all other Pak bowlers.

Head and shoulders better than the others.
