[VIDEO] Mohammad Zahid (jnr) - New pace sensation from Pakistan!

In the Amir Hamza video, they were saying ' aik so batees'. That's 132.

Are we sure that is was actually 148kph?

The guy in the video can be heard saying "hundred and forty eighhht". Whether it's accurate or not is another matter, but even if we take off 5kph, mid 140's is incredibly impressive for someone of his inexperience.

even ian pont asked this pti guy to send Mohammad Zahid to him :))

he posted, you can see him in the image

That's encouraging but I guess [MENTION=131682]Ian Pont[/MENTION] will visit UAE or Pakistan after 11 months so before that he will go into PCB hands :-)
 
He may have bowled an over or two. And after conformation of speed PTI's secretary information would have tweeted this. Because otherwise if he cannot bowl around this speed in NCA than it brings lots of embarrassment to the organisers of the camp.

Saud Shakeel, Fakhar Zaman, Umar Akmal, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail are all quality batsman.

Please fans and players simultaneously need to delete yesterday's worst batting memories from their systems and look ahead.

Let's support Green Team and wish and pray that they handle pressure better against India in coming games.

Umar Akmal cant handle pressure at all , esp against India .... Babar azam is our future but how good he will prove to be , only time will tell . Haris sohail has problems against short ball & spin bowling . Rest of the two players , fingers crossed ... the cupboard is pretty bare at the moment I dare say !
 
How about we start Batsmen Hunt camp for a change , have enough fast bowlers already.

No need of explaining it to some of the people here. They seem to have minnow trundling mentality.

A raw pacer never played FC cricket bowling 148-150kph consistently is. GOLD.

You're taught skills but not pace. Of course he can go on to learn the skills at the NCA or during FC.

But these people only know how to slit writs and bring out negativity everywhere. That too with NO idea of how fast bowlers are developed.

Ignore them and continue posting about him. Can he bowl 148-150 on a consistent basis?

You make it seem as if it happens automatically. Whereas I tender exhibit A: Sami, B: Wahab

Sami has a good skillset, his stock delivery is the outswinger.

Wahab can't dream of swinging the new ball.

It doesn't happen automatically, but what you naturally need is that pace and them wrists. Wahab can never get his wrist right.

The rest can be taught.
 
I just don't understand that why Wahab's wrist cannot unlock ?

It is so strange yaar :'(

In an interview he said my wrist falls too much towards the left side naturally. To bring the ball back in, you need to turn your wrist right and lock it. Most likely what happens is his wrist breaks when he's delivering the ball.

Idiotic coaches like Wasim keep on forcing him to learn something that he probably will never be able to execute. He should have stopped trying to inswing long time ago, instead change his stock delivery to around the wicket outswinger. Considering his wrist is already falling towards left, he'd be able to swing it away more than most and I have seen him swing it away occasionally in the past but he's completely stopped trying now.

Around the wicket is a much better angle for him. He can slip in a yorker, bouncer, extra bounce length ball, with an away swinger(if he had worked on it). He's just really stupid man which is why unlike Amir he needs a thinking captain(who knows how to maximize his strengths and set fields accordingly) and the coach to provide game plans for every batsman.

As much as our batsmen failed yesterday our bowling (barring Mohammad Amir's exceptional spell) wasn't great either. If they had it in them they would have won us the match. Except for Amir we do not have a threatening wicket taking bowler who can run through lineup. Sami was cross seaming, Wahab can't swing and Irfan is one trick pony. Asif is the only name that comes to mind who can match Amir.

Chacha there is another problem.

His wrist falls so much towards left that the ball lands half on the seam and half on the leather. Hence it even loses half the possibility of moving away. Rarely it moves away even from over the wicket.

While in test cricket he has reversed the ball away from right handers from over the wicket but new ball or semi new ball ¿ 98 % of times remains dead straight.


I fail to understand than if Pedro Collins could learn to swing the ball back into right handers after 2,3 years than why can't wahab ? It's so strange. I have to watch his fivefer in England 5 wickets ago and revisit where he was standing 6 years ago.

Meanwhile Wahab should focus of fast yorkers aiming the body, slower bouncers , yorkers , wide yorkers , slower ones. He should not ball fuller length or good length because since it remains straight so he gets tonked by quality batsman.

He must ball as per his strengths. His spell against West indies in champions trophy, his spell against India in Mohalli and his spell against Australia in WC will tell you that his strengths are different and he needs to exploit them. His main weapon is fast skidding bouncer and yorkers. Didn't see him bowl one good yorker or bouncer against India and that pitch had bounce, pace & carry unlike most Subcontinent wickets.

# I still back Wahab

I won't judge him on pace alone, hopefully he will have other attributes with him.

Nothing ll happen out of this "hunt"
No one is talking about it, Imran Khan knows, give them some high numbers so later on he can claim that he gave PCB 4-5 guys clocking above 145 but PCB were not able to handle them properly.

Because his wrist naturally falls to the left, he doesn't have to turn it much. Simply lock it and execute. Had he focused on outswing which he's actually able to bowl, he would've improved a lot more by now. Poor advice from paindus like Wasim didn't help either.

Yes, he needs to stick to his strengths. Either full or short or a lifting good length delivery, anything in between will be dispatched.

Against India, the field set was set for him to bowl full angling away expecting the batsman to catch an edge which is stupid as that's not his strength. He was successful in the WC because Misbah used his strengths accordingly and set a legside trap field with a short leg in. That should be a regulation field for him every game.

Thanks brother.

Another thread was made regarding the same talent hunt program with a pathan. We were discussing his age and what his looks suggest. He looked 140+ surely and was right handed and that thread got deleted. Forgot that guys name.

It was Muhammad Bilal 15 years old from Peshawar but he was find of Peshawar Zalmi. There was a Samaa news report on him aswell. He had quick arm action and reminded me of Mohammad Zahid Snr.

I think that thread got deleted due to copyrights issues with Zalmi foundation.

His action didn't resemble Zahid's. Zahid had a high arm, open chested action with a long jump, the closest we've gotten to him was Ali Imran Pasha.

Bilal and Zahid jr have conventional side on actions.

Quick arm action of Bilal. Bilal is quite front on and open chested. Flow through crease and fast arm Tomatin reminds of Zahid. Action resembleness is minimal.

It's 15 years old Muhammad Bilal of Peshawar.

Not 18 years old Bilal Shah of Mardan.

Yes he seems 5'10 5'11 which is taller than Malcom Marshall & Bilawal Bhatti and is a decent height. Sami is also of the sane height and while he was express nobody ever felt than his height is a disadvantage.

Mohammad Sami had a Test bowling average in the 50's.

Basically, there is one bowler every fifty years who becomes an international class paceman whilst being under 6 feet tall - from the entire planet.

1930's Harold Larwood
1980's Malcolm Marshall
2010's Ryan Harris

I would argue that any talent/camp system should have quotas as follows:

Minimum 30% of triallists must be at least 6 feet 4.
Maximum 20% of triallists under 6 feet in height.
Total ban on triallists shorter than 5 feet 11.

Wahab Riaz 3 overs 46 runs.

4th over yorker lengths all and fast gives away one run and takes 2 wickets.


We should use him after 12 overs with 4 overs on the Trott. Just like Umar Gul. Only use him earlier if we have a small total to defend and we need wickets.

Somebody needs to show this footage to Wahab, tell him to bowl more like they in death... He used ta bowl very good Yorkers, even in 2011 SF, he bowled very well in death as well...

I don't know why he is not sticking more to Yorker length now [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

He will bounce back. Seeing a green wicket and watching Amir he also tried same length. We know he has consistency issues but he is a match winner on his day.

Boult pre injury was successful bowler aswell. And Sami's average of 50 is not because of his short height. Everybody knows that.

Haris and Malcom Marshall also proved their worth.

If your argument should be taken seriously than for next 30 to 50 years all cricketing nations should ban selecting pacers under the height of 5'10.

Let the kid play domestic cricket and see where he stands. If he becomes a wicket taker and bowls express pace I won't mind selecting him at all for any conditions. And as far as he gives good performances he should be retained in side.

And due to camera angles we aren't sure of his height yet. He may be 6 or may be 5'10. We just don't know at the moment.

Sarcasm, right?..Cus nothing could be more false than that statement..
Waqar younis and Shoaib Akhter were both the best of their generation at their peaks...the prior one of the best ever..and guess what they were both under 6 feet...Akhtar is 5'10'' actually...he used to wear those big cowboy boots in all off the field interviews..on field he was always in 3-4 pairs of socks, tho that was probably for cushioning as well

Dale Steyn , the greatest fast bowler of modern times is no taller than 5'10..Malinga is around 5'9''..
Lots of other examples as well.

One other thing I've always found annoying as a fan of genuine quick bowling -- over the years, I've seen bowlers like Mohammed Sami or Nantie Hayward who were quick and as soon as they get taken apart, its because they think of nothing but pace ---- but if a so-called medium paced line and length bowler like Umar Gul gets taken apart, they get the benefit of the doubt, its just a bad day at the office...even if this happens time and again, is this not double standards ?
Click to expand...

To be fair Gul used to have decent RFM pace and was capable of yorkers, death bowling, etc. He was never really a line/length trundler. Anwar Ali might be a better example.

Shahid Abbas is a right arm bowler whose been very impressive. TalentSpotterPk do u know anything about him?

You can attach his video by using Tapatalk.

I have just come to know about him from u. He needs adjustments in his action but don't know that altering his action can make him better or worsen him.

We in pakistan don't have qualified bowling coaches with substancial international experience and along with that you need a human movement expert. Than they sit together and decide what changes are to be made in a bowler's action to make him more consistent in his line and lengths, to increase his pace, to make his action more energy efficient. Than the drills are planned than the bowler does those drills next 2,3 months than practices new action in nets repeatedly for next 2,3 months and than plays domestic cricket with a new modified action.

This was the protocol by which Johnson's and Cummins actions were modified at a minor level while Pattinson's action was modified abit more and 2 became more threatening and 1 was equally threatening like before but again got injured (Cummins) but will get back stronger hopefully.


We modified Sami ullah Niazi and Anwar Ali's action in our own DESI way and see the results.


Wish Shahid all the best.
 
ataullah

Shahid also has lots of work to do on his follow through which collapses straightaway.

His Arm also needs to be upright while delivering the ball.

Send him to CricAus they will make him into a 145kph bowler but in Pak he has no hope.

JazakAllah TalentSpotterPk. I can't wait for the 10th for the next phase of talent hunt.
 
Can wasim akram and waqar not do better or as good as cric aus? I think we need to utilise better coaches at grass roots level because international cricketers shouldn't have major technical deficiencies
 
ataullah no.

Coaches alone should not change actions be it be Wasim or Waqar. They at best can guide wrt grip, ball release, wrist position, strategies and how to increase your fitness and bowling muscles and what diet and training to do.

Sorry in my last post I mentioned a peshawar bowler with speeds of 138 140 kph.

He is not find of PTI talent hunt. He is the find of Peshawar Zalmi foundation and his name is Muhammad Bilal. He has got very fast arm rotation with which he gets pace without much effort.

That Amir Hamza guy must have been someone else or wrongly reported. In that video which I guess #GreenRoars uploaded it was stated to be a 132 kph delivery " Aik sou Battees "

We must make our biomechanics lab and appoint a Human Movement Expert and a Biomechanics Consultant there. Even if we have to pay 15 to 20 thousand dollars per month to these two guys.

If we do this than along with them and a certified professional coach we can make Amad Butt and Altaf Ahmed Khan as 142-152 kph bowler while we can make Mohammad Zahid junior an express pacer who can bowl 145 - 157 kph bowler.

Not sure whether without these arrangements they will become this much quick with Hit & Trial bases or Tuqqa.

Well this kid did not excite me much. I don't agree with this Umar Khayam of PTI. He is over hyping both Shahid Abbass & Ameer Hamza. Especially Ameer Hamza. The way he is describing Ameer Hamza is abit too much. Decade and Amir thing etc etc. Personally I don't think there is anything special about him.

148kph is the most exciting thing uptil now and the best +ve out of think camp uptil now. Let's see what's up in the next phases of this talent hunt. Hopefully a couple more above 145kph.

We have these talent hunts ten times a year but never have we seen a single bowler actually make it to the senior or A sides.
 
Nothing is going to happen.

These 'talent hunts' are a total waste of time.

As usual, Pakistanis looking for shortcuts.

Hoping to unearth an all-time great from the streets who can be fast-tracked into the team, rather than focusing on proper channelization and adopting a systematic step-by-step approach.

The reason why this nation is so obsessed with the word 'talent' is because it is always looking for shortcuts and is abundantly short on work ethic.

In last 10 years talent hunts there was no bowler who in trials hit 140kph.

Ahmed Jamal I guess hit 139 in initial trials and than after training in final round he hit 144 kph.

Here in first time trial Zahid has bowled 148 kph.

Pakistan should ban this 'talent' word.
 
Actually, 140km/h is not a big deal. Play some cricket with Pathans in Karachi and you will find your stumps rattled even before you dare to execute the backlift. But 80% of their deliveries are either wide of off stump or outside leg stump, and the many are half volleys that can be easily hit by more experienced batsmen.

Every bowler cannot translate tennis ball speed into hard ball speed.

148 kph in a random trial with no domestic cricket background is serious serious Raw genuine pace.

Every bowler can also not bowl at a consistent channel. Even if he is just 140 and can bowl yorkers at will, i say get him in
