[VIDEO] Mir Hamza - How good is he?

Good bowling with a smooth action. Was swinging it and seaming it and was bringing it back to right handers. Should be in squad so that he can learn more.
 
Where is he? I cant find him playing in the on going T20 cup where all and sundry are playing.
 
Strange that such a talented bowler like him is not playing while there are so many bad bowlers who are playing. May be [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] would know why Mir Hamza is not playing?

what if he marry a British girl and become eligible to play for England? That will be disaster for Pakistan considering the severe dearth of fast bowlers who can swing both ways in Pakistan. In fact I don't know any Pakistani fast bowler other than him who can swing both ways

Haha, chill out
 
Quality prospect. Has a mean outswinger (to the left hander). Also has really good pace. Looks much quicker than Sadaf Husain.
 
I've seen a previous video if him bowling and he was swinging it both ways. Looked pretty pacy too. Should have been given a chance on these A tours
 
Do PCB have an eye on this guy? This guy can swing it massive and has an impressive record at a young age. Get him into the A team instead of the rubbish there atm.
 
He is having another solid season, took 8 wickets in the last match against WAPDA. He needs to be fast tracked for the LOI team as has genuine ability to swing the new ball !
 
Just got Sami Aslam out bowled in the first over in the current match, seems to be in great form.

I feel like him, and Sadaf Hussain are not picked because of there pace..the wickets currently in Pakistan are very conducive to medium pace bowling with the preparation of wickets..him and Sadaf Hussain should definitely be first on the team sheet that tours England. I think both will be a handful.
 
Took another fifer, also all the wickets were of top order batsmen including Fawad Alam and Nasir Jamshed.

well i would not call Fawad Alam a top order batsman but thats just me.
Getting Fawad Alam out in domestics is quite a big challenge.
 
I agree in helpful conditions he would be a handful. His pace is decent, around 83 mph and he moves it both ways.
 
@ fast and furious. I thought I replied earlier. After years of watching cricket I just know.

Took a 7-fer 7-73, has taken another top order wicket in the 2nd innings. Genuine swing bowler.
 
Mir Hamza, M.Amir, Ehsan Adil, Junaid Khan, M.Irfan, Wahab Riaz, Sadaf Hussain, Rahat Ali - wow.

All our upcoming bowlers are lefties
 
Definitely should be selected in Pak A team next time. Also he should be invited in NCA to train.
 
He can swing the ball both ways, but I would give Sadaf a chance first and foremost.

For those that think a solid FC record does not matter, should watch Ehsan's bowling this game.

Sadaf has the height factor to give him that extra bit of boost.

Not sure, whether Mir is a better swing bowler than Sadaf and even if he is, it is only marginal, hence Sadaf would be the better bet.

It's not marginal, Mir can swing it massive and is pretty damn accurate. He is faster than Sadaf as well.

Mir is quicker than Sadaf?

Where did you get that piece of info from?

In terms of swing, Mir may have the advantage but not by huge margin.
 
Its not hard to be quicker than Sadaf. The guy is a genuine medium pacer.

There is no substitute for making the ball talk - you either have it or you don't and Hamza clear has it in abundance.

Rahat is generating swing in the same conditions where Junaid, Wahab and Talha couldn't move the ball an inch so the conditions factor was simply an excuse.

Lol I'm not a speed gun but he is faster than Sadaf. I would predict him to be around 84-85 mph.

I recall, others saying Shinwari bowls around "137-145kph", but when he debuted, he was bowling around the 130kph mark.

Same goes for Adil, misleading speed readings and he turned out to be faster.

You can't judge pace via a footage.

Others haven't watched and bowled as much fast bowling as I have.

Fair enough, but I don't like to judge a bowlers pace through a video.

Just for future references, how fast are Mir Hamza and Sadaf Hussain?

When they make their debut, I guess we will find out and see, if you were correct.

I haven't watched Sadaf a lot but from what I've seen he is around 130k and Hamza 135k+. A bowler can up his pace quite a bit with some strength work like Adil has. Starc is another example.
 
Thanx guys I'm seeing this viral vdo on various websites, so before I posted someone else posted this to know more about this upcoming talent. Mir Hamza took 6 in the first innings fro Khi dolphins against multan on 18 nov 2014. Such an attempt was made before also for Sohaib Maqsood, edited vdo of his performance in T20 faysal cup.
His action is the same as huge-inswing-to-the-lefthander bowler Kabir Khan [now Afghanistan coach], another talented swing bowler like Usman Shenwari, but this vdo does not show his ability of bowling with the old ball and on a dead senile track, a hallmark of Pak bowling. Also he does not have enuff pace.It is a ground reality, domestic circuit pitches r green tops or pitches covered with grass to make the bowl swing for first 15 overs. Initial part of the vdo in his bowling action, his arm is bending quite a bit which can bring in the ICC committee made to reprimand chuckers.

the way he moves the new ball in air , he wont need much assistance from the pitch and he was reversing the old ball too and he swings the ball away from lefthander not in to the lefthander so get ur information correct

The problem is with you. yon need to correct the way of expressing something in written form. anyone will be misguided by ur top level way of expressing so first correct urself
 
I have showed his video to Ian Pont and he has said he has a messy action. Good thing about him is his swing but he says he is missing out on extra pace.
