hopefully he is just having a bad day.

If they had first hand knowledge of first class they would know who the high performers are, and these would get a look in in the A squads at least. Surely.
Now in KPK today they pick Israrullah instead of Naeemuddin. You just go and compare their records. Naeemuddin has scored 1K+ runs this season. Israrullah next to nothing. I am not saying this is defo safarish because the guy could be ill or something but I have my doubts, and it just would not surprise me.

i think there are two issues here:
- the weight of your performance in domestic cricket should be a factor (not the only factor, of course). So if discarded players do well in domestic, selectors have to set a criteria of why they should be allowed back in again to the team, unless the selectors have the confidence to say "no, you are done no more chances for you, no matter how well you do" For that to happen, the domestic teams need to drop these players MARK RAMPRAKASH
- sometimes international "ttfs" do well in domestic because they are used to the pressures of international cricket: meaning they are potentially better than domestic, but short of international standard. Perhaps the selectors need to give more weight to domestic uncapped players vs. the international players.

Agreed -there needs to be a blend. Our world cup squad including YK Asad Kamran Malik Tanvir Hafeez Azhar- I really hope not!!

They does not mean our national selectors- but the issue is the same

Yes, but it is the domestic selector issue that is hurting Pakistan perhaps: national selectors have to rely on domestic selectors doing an honest job.

Agreed the issue is probably top to bottom. A bit like the pakistani community as a whole unfortunately
 
He was good in his first spell yesterday. Didnt watch his other spells. Didn't swing it yesterday.
 
I'm afraid Mir Hamza might not have the ability to swing the new ball. Just like other domestic trundling bullies like Asad Ali.

At least not yesterday.

Let's see how he does in rest of the matches.

Who are you?

Stop acting like you are the main chief when it comes to swing bowling and determining whether or not a bowler can swing the ball :))

Its probs his first game with that ball. Let him have a chance :))

Why are you following my posts everywhere lol.

I'm his fan. Want him to live up to the hype.

And if you have trouble understanding simple English, read the last line of my post.
 
So he cannot swing Kookaburra ball currently. Its ok; now he needs to learn how to swing Kookaburra ball. Practice makes perfect.
 
will be interesting to see the bowler stats at the end of this tournament. We really need to hold this tournament every year and not just before a WC. It should be a permanent fixture in the calendar!

also should play all domestic tournaments with Kookaburra ball. This will help in easy transition from domestic to international. If now Mir Hamza go back to the old ball instead of Kookaburra ball then he will not be challenged to learn how to swing with Kookaburra ball.
 
Just saw he was in top 20 list of highest run getter in gold one day cup and averages 35 lol
 
yes he is very very good fast bowler.
but i would like to tell every one that kindly see Taj Walli,
he is very promising fast bowler too
 
i think he got 13 wickets in total 3 odi and 3 four day matches against srilanka A

What do you guys think of Mir Hamza after the three matches? Heard he swung it a little as well on this dead track.

Nope, he didn't swing the Kookaburra ball so Far. 2 bowlers who are swinging in this tournament are Taj Walli and Majid. Both are doing good job as compare to Mir. But, Mir is very talented, he was the part of Wasim's camp. He has improved his pace, but he need to work more on Kookaburra ball.

I hope his pace is in the high 130's now with an average speed of 135 kph at the least.

I thought [MENTION=139202]11ShadyBrothers[/MENTION] said he swung it a little. Anyway I hope that he learns to swing these international standard balls soon. Could be the conditions as well as this Pindi track is flat as hell.

More suited to first-class cricket. Too much of a nice guy. Needs to toughen up a bit and be more imposing on batsman.

I saw 4-5 balls of him. Shades of trent boult. Seems to have potential. He is definitely under my radar now. Will look out for him. :afridi

Mir was actually swinging the ball in the air today, GR.
 
Mir Hamza won the match for the Whites against Hyderabad today. He took 4 wickets and got the Man of the Match award for his performance.

Anyone got highlights of his bowling?
 
Hearing a lot about him. Hopefully he doesn't end up being a disappointment like Mohammad Talha. Amir, Riaz, Junaid, Hamza, Sadaf and Adil should all be invested in.

I rate him .

Mir Hamza has superior domestic stats than Majid Ali and Taj Wali . But he has got huge competitions from Amir , Wahab , Rahat , Majid , Taj and Junaid . Now he has to be better than atleast 4 of them to stake a claim for Pakistan team .

I heard some expert probably Doc saying that after recent camp wasim said now Mir is a Finished product and ready for int cricket according to him . I don't think anybody knows it more than Wasim .

Last match he swung the ball but little . Taj and Majid have swung the ball more . Let's see how he performs in last two games . He is impressive .
 
If he can learn to swing the kookaburra, he is one to look forward to. Unlike majority of his contemporaries, he possesses a cricketing brain.
 
0/30 0/18 2/33 4/28
Not bad figures, considering they came against Sialkot & Pindi
I thought he is just a line & lenght swing bowler but he has brilliant yorker in him!

He is definitely between 135-143 kph
 
Good death bowling until he bowled a lose ball and got smacked for six. Also not to mention that god awful fielder who over threw the ball for a four messing up mir's bowling figures.
 
I have now seen enough of him

Wasim Akram is right . I agree with him .

Mir Hamza is ready for the next step .

Lol yeah, I caught his last over. Good yorkers. Stupid fielder ruined his figures lol.
 
I have been impressed with this bowler.He is good enough for International cricket at some extent I mean he can perform well against Zimbabwe
 
Taj and majid lacks controll over the ball but this guy Hamza has everything expect pace. His controll is something amazing. Bowls yorkers at will.
 
4/34 in 16 overs in the practice game between PAK A & England. His victims were Hales, Buttler, Bairstow & Moeen.
 
That's a performance that makes me happy.
I don't necessarely want our bowlers to bowl 145kps+ but they should at least be hitting 140kph.

So I would like to know how quick was he as he is regiestered as Left Medium, not even Medium fast or fast medium.

That is what he is as he's around 120kph to 125 max.
 
He scares me literally. Cross eyed force of terror

He is known more for his swing bowling rather than his pace. Think he'll have a pace of somewhere between 130-140.

Yep he swings good, his performance was impressive, finally we are seeing some good fast bowlers. And he can crack up to 143

Somebody said he's around 120kph to 125 max. Is it true? Because if he can max 143 (as you've said) then it's impossible that his average would be around 120's. Instead, should be in mid 130's.
 
All the people who are commenting, did anyone actually see him bowl today?
 
11ShadyBrothers said:
Good stuff from him. Hope to see him break in the senior team. Want the likes of rahat ali to go away.

Rahat is a pretty solid option in Tests. Hopefully Amir, Wahab, Rahat & Mir Hamza will be the four pacers in the squad for the overseas tours next year.

Haha bro he was just joking. I am following all Pakistan fast bowlers closely. Mostly his deliveries are between 132-138 kph

lol, I see, so if he can manage to reach a window between 135-143 kph (which he can with time, I believe) with swing then I'll be more than happy. Because, anything around last 130's and early 140's with swing is not a cakewalk.

I haven't seen him but I'm wondering, can he do in-swinger to right handed players?

Yes and GR is right about his speed.
 
So Pakistan has unearthed another Pacer who can swing the ball. That's a surprise :)

I just watched some of the FB videos and this guy bowls pretty big inswingers as well as decent out swingers as well, not sure if he replicates it well with the Kokaburra ball or not though!

What I like about him is he has a good clean rhythmic run up and action. Speed is not an issue if he is able to provide consistent swing, line and length.
 
^^^Good point, if he not always striving for pace, he will always be able to get the swing!

Bowlers start loosing swing when they have actions that make them stress a lot and loose any rhythm

First time seeing him bowl.. Bilkul Steyn wala action hai.. Looks hella good, I hope his pace is consistently around the 140kph mark.
 
srh's arguments have won me over, he is useless!
 
Hope he gets a chance soon. He has loads of potential and Waqar is the perfect coach to help him reach his maximum potential.
