[VIDEO] Dilbar Hussain - Fast-bowler from Lahore

Is this the absolute trash that's going around in the PSL??? This guy is a club cricketer. Those misfields were too funny :)))
 
What happened to that 7 foot plus guy that LQ had unearthed?
 
I would rather play Maaz Khan -- Lahore really need a strategist to figure out their lineup and balance. Dunk should bat 6.

Fakhar
Lynn
Hafeez
Villas
Sohail
Samit

Maaz
Haris

I don't think I've seen a worse fielder in professional cricket.

Lol, must be bad if he's even worse than the likes of Monty Panesar, Mo Irfan and Nasir Jamshed at the WC.

One can overlook lack of performance with the ball to an extent but showing such a temperament in the field is inexcusable.
 
Must be given confidence by LQ management.


He bowls 140 kph effortlessly and it is just a matter of time that he starts delivering his bouncers and Yorkers precisely.


Needs 2,3 matches on trot.



Meanwhile LQ or NCA must work on his Run-up. Needs to lengthen his Run Up and make it smooth. His fastest recorded delivery until now has been 146.5 kph and he can easily gain 5 kph with right coaching advice n technical support.


NCA should work with Dilbar and Amir Khan. Mudassar Nazar hope you are reading PP :)
 
Honestly, Dilbar against Peshawar was one of the best performances I've ever seen in a rain affected T20. I thought he was going to get BLASTED.

Saw a MASSIVE improvement from Dilbar Hussain, he has to maintain it now.

Best bowler of the match
Take ur hat off dilbar, great bouncers and changes in speed
And he bowls with such enthusiasm, reminds me of naved ul hasan in more ways than one

You seem to really hate the Qalandars.

You even criticised Maaz Khan and he only played 1 game that was 12 overs, so most people expected him to get hammered, as did Wahab, Hasan etc.

I have been hearing this ‘he can easily gain 5 kph with right coaching’ stuff for a while. Keeping in mind Dilbar is an adult and his body isn’t still developing. Now, how many players do we know from history who have achieved this? Sure, one or two - Chris Woakes. Can’t think of any other ones off the top of my head, tbh. Amir, Wahab, Junaid, Gul, Asif all either maintained or decreased their speeds at this stage of their careers.

Agree his run up is not good, and needs to be fixed, but 5 k is a serious increase in pace to expect! I would rather he focus on control and learning how to swing the ball rather than trying to gain pace.
 
Very impressive Dilbar to get Watson's wicket with a 145.8 Kph ball!
 
He’s impressive. Reminds me of Wasim interns of how he generates such speeds with such a short run up (ps: not in terms of quality )
 
Experts here have written him off already lol .. 15-20 games for a fair assessment but the dude doesn’t lack in desire/ commitment & swagger pace wise 90mph no probs
Just noticed 5 Pakistani pacers hitting 90mph + in the same game wow i think that’s a first
 
Yet another express pace bowler.

Where are we suddenly getting all of these from?

Many people dismissed him based on just his name, Dilbar -- seems like a softie from that! But he's the exact opposite.

Passionate. Fiery. Pacy.
 
Today he was FANTASTIC.

Bowled with control and speed and was genuinely threatening and hostile.

Shame how it didn't work out in Australia though.
 
Produces pace without much effort and with the same action delivers few kinds of slower balls. Needs to be given a white ball domestic contract and chances at that level. National one day cup is coming up post BD series, he can be a pretty decent pick for any region. He is 27 and with not much hard ball experience under his belt, he should be given complete opportunity to grow as a player in my opinion just like any decent prospect.

Players like him improve the quality of domestic cricket. Time to get of trundlers in white ball cricket
 
Looking better every game. Don't think he's quite international quality but happy to be proven wrong. As mentioned above he will improve the quality of domestic cricket at least
 
Pakistan has plenty of 140+ bowlers but since there is proper cricket structure these cricketers don't get the chance.LQ should be given credit for talent search.They gave a chance to Haris and Dilbar.Both of them bowl with good pace.They have played very little cricket so need to learn a lot.
 
I’m starting to like him as LO bowler.

Seems a good prospect.

Definitely needs to play domestic cricket.

140+ in T20s
 
He seems a pretty decent T20 bowler.

Generates a lot of pace from such a short run up and has good variations.
 
Guys, I wanted to get to know your thoughts on Dilbar. When I see him bowl and put it in a good area there’s something I see in his bowling that stands out for me. He gets extra zip (even off a batting surface) and bounce , a zip which you don’t see in many fast bowlers. I wanted to get your guys thoughts on if he can develop himself in fitness, fielding and consistency - can he break through into national team in the future? I just see this X factor in his bowling but he’s not the youngest guy. But with consistency along with his current talent set imagine what he potentially could do overseas ie South Africa

He’s a fantastic bowler. I guess we should trust the LQ PDP as they are the ones that put their money where their mouth is. I’ve seen him in a couple of games. His speed generated from an easy action is remarkable. Has good variations and in a season or two will be lethal. The main thing is that there is a decent squad of up and coming right arm pace bowlers (Salman, haris, ruman, aamer yamin are others) that look like they could develop and put pressure on guys ahead of them like musa, husnain and nasir shah.

Having left hand -right hand combinations, slingy actions with tall upright bowlers (dilbar is one of them) augurs really well for solid bench strength. It seems that waqar is really proactive in polishing them off for the next step up.
 
Ps I forgot to add he seems a carbon copy of Ravi rampaul the windies bowler who also had a very short run up and was lightning quick and tidy but bowled with a heavy ball. Dilbar is a real prospect. I think he will get picked by a uk t20 team this season if he puts in a couple more good performances.
 
He's just bowled a superb outswinging yorker at high pace.

What a ball.
 
Impressive Dilbar - very accurate and quick also! 148.2kph
 
His reverse swinging yorkers are good .
Seam position and zip off the pitch is there as well.
Potential limited overs player for Pakistan.
 
Wonderful bowler.

A hidden gem. Where was he?

Should be in contention for World T20.
 
Seriously impressive. Has pace, variety and intelligence. Only needs to focus on his fitness and he can have a good career in the short format. Should be on the radar of the national selectors.
 
Really enjoy watching Dilbar Bowl
Pace-Bounce-Swing
Another slap in the face of the people who were laughing at the saying Pakistan has 90Mph bowlers Walking the streets.
 
Amazing bowling from him .he is improving in every match .Hopefully he is involved in domestic tournament to further polish his skills

Very simple and short answer to your Post.


1. Did you follow career's of Starc, Johnson and Ryan Haris ? What were there average and top speeds when they started their international career ? And how they increased there pace ?


2. When Lahore Qalandars plucked Laadi (Dilbar) out of nowhere through their talent hunt 2 years ago Laadi's top speed was 86 mph. (Watch his interviews)

Now his fastest recorded delivery is 148.2 ie 92.08 kph. Mind you he is 27 at present.


Give this guy to a real high performance centre with professional qualified coaches, biomechanics/human movements experts and latest biomechanic equipments and with modifications to his Run up he will surely gain 5 kph more.


From a giggly run-up with lower momentum he is generating 92 mph with ease.
 
As said earlier, he should be part of the national one day cup and overall domestic setup. Guy has some really good white skills and if he can maintain good fitness he does have something to offer even in red ball cricket with his pace and bounce.
 
If he can bowl with more consistency I think he should be an ideal test bowler looks like he could easily bowl 10-15 overs a day.
 
Definitely should be considered a potential option


Melbourne stars weren’t crazy when they picked him
 
Did not realise this guy was a fast bowler to be honest. He seems to mix in a lot of slower balls. Looks like a bowler with some intelligence which makes a change from many of our current pace bowling hopefuls.
 
I have heard someone said that every younge fast bowler's have been told they need to try to bowl fast as possible.
Which I assume is to change the attiutude and its producing results.

Now they all need to get fitter, play first class cricket and get better and faster

Should be part of domestic set up to enhance his skill level
 
I saw him today and he looks to be the real deal his ability to reverse swing(if the ball hasn't been tampered with) looks the best we have had for a long while. The pace was excellent and if he could work on consistency of length we have a hell of a talent.

Who knows. You may well be right. I don’t want to write anyone off. He does have a giggly run-up. Maybe there is some room for improvement there. Skeptical that he will be able to gain 5kph. Obviously when he first came into the qalanders camp, he must have been bowling in a very raw, unmechanized way. Prob didn’t play much proper cricket before is what I am guessing. So you would expect his pace to go up from that stage. Now, I do think that he needs to improve his run up, and gain more consistency in his action, but would expect this to result in more control and consistency rather than a massive jump in pace.

My argument is that when a bowler has passed the development stages, both in terms of body maturity and action setting, you don’t see too much increase in pace. But I may be wrong. So, I did not follow Starc, Johnson or Harris intensely, but I assume that they did not gain 5kph after the age of 25...

I take your point though, there is perhaps opportunity for improvement in pace, but generally, I don’t see it happening with bowlers once they are grown up! Perhaps I may be wrong though..



I did follow the careers of those bowlers.

He really should he has been improving by game by game that shows great character and he will only get better he looks Hungry for success to so I think he is great. Even when he debuted in the bbl and he got smashed just by watching some of his deliveries you can see their was something special hope he keeps getting better and would love to see him play for Pakistan
 
Needs to be called up to the NCA ASAP.
Special talent. That wrist action is perfect for reverse swing and getting zip of the pitch.
Clocks 149 kph from a three step run up.
 
Somebody needs to talk to him about his behaviour as well.. Bowled a head high beemer at Khushdil at the end and then turned away without any attempt at an apology whatsoever.
 
Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman believes that pace bowler Dilbar Hussain has a very bright future ahead of him.


Zaman’s comments come after he played alongside Dilbar for the Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

The 27-year-old claimed seven wickets in eight games at an average of 27.

While Zaman was impressed with Dilbar’s performance during the PSL, he pointed out that the Faisalabad-born fast bowler “needs to work on his fitness”.

“When we were training before PSL 5, Dilbar was causing a lot of problems to batsmen in the nets,” Zaman said in a YouTube video as quoted by Cricket Pakistan. “I told Dilbar that don’t take pressure and bowl the same way in the match like you did in the nets. I have faced very few bowlers like you. Even the opposition teams rated Dilbar very highly but he still needs to work on his fitness.”

Something to work with definitely. Waqar rates him.

Good pace, ability to swing the ball.

He can improve with some guidance.
 
Should be called up to NCA has the pace can improve with guidance needs to work on fitness thou
 
Qalandars are obsessed with having a no name guy become a household name

I dont mind it as far as they can deliver 145kph bowlers with decent skill set as they did in the form of Haris Rauf and Dilbar Hussain. Also its not like they are not picking good young domestic or U19 talents, they picked Shaheen just after he played in U19 WC.
 
His improvement has been exponential and the T20 WC has come one Yr too early for him. He bowls an excellent Yorker at good pace, and is deceptively quick. His run up needs a few more yards to give him more momentum and rhythm

He wont get a chance for another year or 2 not ahead of shahid amir wahab rauf husnain naseem hassan ali but is a decent prospect

Yes.

Can be a good T20 specialist.

But, so much established competition ahead of him.
 
WOW. His improvement has been something to behold to be honest. He's deceptively quicker than he looks, he can swing the ball well, seems to have a solid repertoire of deliveries and his fitness is good. But his fielding needs work.

From. What I have seen, he has the ability to be more than a T20 but that requires the hard yards of FC. Whether he has the desire to do is the biggest question, I think not.
 
The zip he gets off a good length is unreal ,
Wicked in-swinger to go with the pace and bounce . if the coaches can't mold his talent into world class performance than shut down the NCA . supremely gifted bowler but very raw.
