[VIDEO] Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah - a special partnership for many years to come

[kron]

Best opening pair in world cricket currently

based on? In white ball ?

 

[Farabi]

Whilst Arshad is good if we are only going to play 3 pacers I would go for someone who can take the pitch out of the equation we seen how some of Australian players struggled against the bounce in England.

Terrible advise. Aus is the place where you need to bring the pitch into the equation.

Somebody with control like Faheem and Naseem could be effective in Aus as long as they hit the right areas and don’t get carried away with pace and bounce. Discipline is key there

their issue is lack of height.

Fahim no thanks he's a 4th seemer at best.

 

[Markhor]

There was a camera shot during the SL Tests when Naseem was walking back to his mark and Shaheen came over from mid-on to have a word.

It brought a huge smile to my face because I saw these two now carrying on the pace bowling legacy that began with Fazal Mahmood and Khan Mohammad, revived under Imran Khan and Sarfraz Nawaz, and immortalised by Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.

It's also really important the pacers guide each other as our batter captains struggle to relate to the intracacies of fast bowling.

 

[Saj]

What's really heartening is that they are very good friends on and off the field and long may that continue.

Naseem sees Shaheen as the big brother and mentor in cricket and away from cricket.

However, I wish people would stop saying they are the new Wasim and Waqar!

Height is essential in Australia. Shaheen despite being very tall, isn't able to generate bounce consistently.

Naseem is not that type of bowler either.
Neither is iqbal or faheem.

This is the issue with Pakistan bowling. Until they are able to bend their backs and generate lift, not much will change in their ability to produce wins.

Batting obviously has serious holes against pace and bounce.

I repeat again. Pakistani bowlers don’t need to do anything special in Aus except bowling to plan and bowling tight lines and lengths. India just won 2 test series in Aus with some really disciplined bowling. It’s some weird Pakistani myth that something special needs to happen with bowling to deliver down under , which ends in heartbreaks.

 

[MenInG]

Shaheen suffered a huge dent to his reputation in the game against India. Hope he comes back stronger.

 

[MenInG]

Naseem ruled out of the Asia Cup due to injury.

He is crucial for Pakistan's chances in the World Cup.

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Both are talented I'll give them that however without proper guidance on field that talent means nothing.

When you have Babar as captain you could give him Warne and Mcgrath and he'll make them look like Shadab and Rahat Ali

Naseem ruled out of the Asia Cup due to injury.

I hope it is not that serious?

Naseem ruled out of the Asia Cup due to injury.

Is this precautionary or serious?

Not sure how Naseem can recover within a few weeks with a serious shoulder injury.

Zaman Khan replaces Naseem Shah in Asia Cup squad

Colombo, 13 September 2023:

Right-arm fast bowler Zaman Khan has replaced Naseem Shah in Pakistan’s 17-player squad for the ongoing Men’s ODI Asia Cup 2023. Zaman joined the team in the morning today and will train with the squad at the RPICS in the evening.

Naseem injured his right shoulder during the match against India. He continues to be monitored by the team’s medical panel that is taking all necessary precautions keeping in mind the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.

Haris Rauf, who did not bowl on the reserve day of Pakistan v India contest as a precautionary measure, continues to recover well after he felt discomfort in his right flank on the first day of the match.

Team doctor Sohail Saleem: “These two fast bowlers are our assets and the team’s medical panel will provide them the best possible care ahead of the all-important World Cup.”

 

[IAJ]

Many fast bowlers will struggle in the WC unless you implement a rotation policy. The bowlers these days are used to bowl only 4 overs and not 10 overs and therefore I am afraid you will see many quicks from different countries breaking down.

 

[daytrader]

Naseem Shah travels back to Pakistan today.

End of the partnership for now. Hopefully we get to see it again in the WC

 

[TheSultan]

The question has got to be asked - why did all of them play Vs Nepal? Why can’t scared kitten Babar ever have the guts to allow his non first XI play against minnows.

Agreed here. No need to play your premium fast bowler when you are not in a situation like a must-win or something like that. waseem or Faheem could have easily managed the workload for them against Nepal.

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is pretty Alarming for Shaheen.

Naseem Shah:

• First 10 Tests: 21 wickets, 45 Avg, 70 SR
• Last 8 Tests: 31 wickets, 25 Avg, 47 SR

Shaheen Shah Afridi:

• First 21 Tests: 86 wickets, 24 Avg, 48 SR
• Last 9 Tests: 27 wickets, 37 Avg, 66 SR

This is pretty Alarming for Shaheen.

Naseem Shah:

Shaheen Shah Afridi:

• First 21 Tests: 86 wickets, 24 Avg, 48 SR
• Last 9 Tests: 27 wickets, 37 Avg, 66 SR

Shaheen is a bhagta hua spinner.

 

[shah_1]

Never been the same bowler since his knee injury(Shaheen)

 

[Mercurial]

Naseem Shah is overrated; he is getting hit around by Bangladeshi batsmen. Shaheen, however, has a higher ceiling, mainly due to his height, and he is likely to make a strong comeback soon.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Former Pakistan cricketer, Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel:

"Naseem has better fitness, and Shaheen is currently struggling with it. But Shaheen is better than Naseem."

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Shaheen needs a rest of 6 months from all form of cricket , he just lost his accuracy with the new ball and just not in the right frame of mind to accept his shortcomings and starts working on it , he is highly stubborn and not willing to learn or admit his faults.

I don't think so Shaheen is better atm. Stats could say that Shaheen is better but in today's time, Naseem is way ahead of Shaheen. A genuine all-format bowler he is.
