[VIDEOS] Haris Rauf is a habitually unreliable death bowler

[Abid Z]

Rarely you will see a bowler in T20 Cricket that will get you wickets whenever you need and be economical.

He gets smashed because he goes for wickets and bowls in match turning phases. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

Exactly. So he’s not a luxury he’s inconsistent and unreliable and thoughtless. Umar gul with a lot less speed was quite effective, not to mention bumrah, shami, siraj, southee, boult etc.

Umar Gul is one of the greatest T20 bowlers alongside Malinga. There's no comparison

Exactly. I think you’re now understanding the difference between Luxury and inconsistency. Well done.

Siraj and Shami don't have records even remotely comparable to Haris Rauf in T20 cricket. I assume we are including T20 cricket in these discussions?

I wasn’t necessarily making a comparison. They tend to derail threads. Just important to recognise that there are very reliable death over bowlers in limited overs cricket that have less pace than Rauf but are able to strangle the batting in death overs. Harris just can’t do that. He picks up cheap lower order wickets that’s about it.

To be fair, game was already lost by then. Tail was having a bit of fun with slogging.

Sorry. I thought you were referring to Game 1.

You are right. He is having a bad game today.

Right-handed Wahab Riaz does what he does best.

Pakistani fans breathed a sigh of relief when Wahab hanged his boots, only for his successor to emerge in no time.

Highly agree with you on this @Mamoon. At least Faheem proved he is much better today. I think its high time Haris gets dropped for series played in Asian conditions, and find some alternatives. Mark my words if hes carried for the T20 WC we are bound to loose because of him leaking runs.

but he is not unreliable death batter for sure
