What's new

[VIDEOS] Haris Rauf is a habitually unreliable death bowler

None of these wickers matter. He let the country down at the MCG 2 years ago and he will never make up for it.

That meltdown vs Kohli and his performance in the ODI World Cup last year sum up his contribution to Pakistan cricket.

He is not losing matches left right and center for Pakistan right now because of the exceptional captaincy of Rizwan.

If you can make Rauf bowl well, you can make anything happen.
 
Haris Rauf is a proven match loser.

These fluke wickets in dead bilaterals don’t mean anything. The same batters always rip him apart whenever it matters - in tournaments.

He ends up single handedly losing us crucial matches.

Nothing more than a spray gun - bilateral wickets should not mean anything for a proven match loser spray gun.
 
Sensational Haris loves bowling in Australia.

Five wickets at an impressive average of 15.40 on his return in T20I, 13 ODI wickets at 16.61.

Haris Rauf's exceptional performances in November, including his pivotal role in Pakistan's historic ODI series win in Australia, have rightfully earned him a nomination for ICC Player of the Month.
 
Haris Rauf is ideal bowler on hard bouncy pitches to bowl back of a length that is difficult to cut or pull easily.

This is his ability and he is capable of giving discomfort even to world class batters when conditions in his favour.

Other than this, he will never be a new ball outswing bowler or bowl pinpoint yorkers or dipping slower balls. It is fault of fans/coaches who are expecting ability that he dont have.

Just enjoy while he is there and when conditions are good.

The boy has won the award now.

Presenting you the Player of the Month for November " HARIS RAUF"

He should have bowled better against South Africa in the 1st T20I though.
 
Haris Rauf getting spanked even in the PP today. Two big sixes by Raza Hendricks against him in the ongoing 2nd T20I

Mamoon do you think Haris Rauf has a strong parchi? Keeps coming back like how brainless Wahab used to in team
 
I’m not sure what happened to him. Haris Rauf bowled brilliantly against Australia, but as soon as he’s on a batting friendly pitch, he seems to lose his edge. His line and length go haywire, and he bowls poorly, far from what’s needed in T20 cricket.
 
The blame for the loss in the 2nd T20 can easily be placed on Haris Rauf, as conceding 57 runs in 4 overs is simply unacceptable for an experienced bowler at the international level.
 
Conceded 7 sixes today. Probably the easiest bowler to hit for sixes in international T20's currently.

Batsmen love that useless pace coming on to the bat nicely.
 
What a pathetic bowler - and our management still does not have the guts to drop him, not sure how many more matches will he lose for us?

Him and SSA need to be discarded ASAP - good for nothing...

His career was almost over and rightfully so, but Aqib will give him a free run because of Lahore Qalandars connection. This guy is totally finished and he has never been the same since Kohli took him apart.

A few fluke performances in Australia after dozens of awful performances don’t mean much. He doesn’t have a brain and such bowlers can never be consistent.
 
He's Shoib Actor re-incarnated. Gets spanked a couple of boundaries and that causes him to lose the only 2 brain cells he was born with. Resorts to going for more pace than trying to bring in variations. Any batsman of even half international caliber easily wipes the ground with his clueless looking face.
 
Rizwan has cooked Rauf, he has been run into the ground since the Australian series. Does he really need to play every match with the CT in mind, the desperate rizwan will do anything to try & maintain his position.

The Top Sixes that should be etched in Haris Raufs mind (perhaps),Aqib Javed and PCT fans:

1) Indias VIRAT KOHLI at the MCG in 2022

2) England's Liam Livingstones Monstrous Six at Headingley in 2021

3) South Africas Reeza Hendricks Sixes in 2024

There might be more but I can remember these as of now!

A proper minnow basher.
 
Oh yes, he also lost us the match vs USA if anyone remembers. After all this humiliation if selectors still feel he can bowl on any pitch. Good luck !
 
Haris just bowled 1 good over. Rest was just proper phainta. These small ground are perfect for a pace bowler like him to get smoked but that is no excuse really. It was a poor stuff from him.

Crazy that we have no one to replace him in the 3rd game apart from Hasnain who might even travel more than haris.
 
Haris has been named in the ICC ODI team of the year for 2024.

Not sure how but yeah, he is there.
 
So he will spearhead Pakistan attack, dont forget his cannon fodder approach in last 2 WCs , on placid wickets of Pakistan what can he do , bowling avg. against Ind & NZ in 40s.

Surely this lack of talent in Pakistan is evident.
 
1st Match, Tri-Nation ODI Series – Pakistan vs New Zealand

Update on Haris Rauf:

Sharp pain in left side of the chest and abdomen muscles following delivering a ball during the match.

On assessment has low grade side strain.

Being treated immediately and will reassess for return to field after treatment.
 
Contrary to the popular belief he's one of the better death bowlers we have. He rarely goes for plenty unlike Shaheen who can't bowl in death.
 
Following MRI and X-ray scans, it has been confirmed that Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf sustained a muscular sprain in the lower chest wall region during Saturday’s match against New Zealand. The injury is not serious and he is expected to be fully recovered for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which commences in Karachi on 19 February.

However, as a precautionary measure and part of his ongoing rehabilitation, he will not be available for selection against South Africa on 12 February.

He literally just played two FC games in a row and bowled 20 overs each in the match. Maybe PCB should have opted not to push him so much just before a big tournament.

Lol. I am surprised PCB even let him play first class since he openly says he doesn’t want to play tests. I would force him to only play domestic limited overs.

Extremely dodgy news.

PCB need to be clear and sever him from the squad, pick the able and fit bowler.

I agree. PCB needs to drop this fast bowler, and bring back the guy who lost a super over to USA of all teams.

At the same time bring in the guy who couldnt score off axar patil.

Even if Amir lost that game single handedly, you have to remember he has credit in the bank after starring in 2 x white ball finals. What happened when Misbah was given a chance to deliver during the 2007 WT20 and 2011 semi-final games? He bottled it, so maybe people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?
 
It's stupid that they didn't select any credible pace backup. Haris has usually been the only one who's been really hitting it and he's injured. Shaheen and Naseem have been bowling like tamed puppies. There seems no hunger in them to improve and just relying on getting by in ODIs so we can live the party in PSL later.

Its not like we garners and malcms in domestic setup.These are the best u have got.
 
Akif is an excellent choice. Clocks 150, and has done well in Pakistan Cup. Might even be an improvement on Rauf.
 
Dont need another mindless bowler who will concede 80+ in 10 overs.
Wasim jr is a better choice due to his death bowling skills.

Haris Rauf is the only Pakistani among the overseas players retained in the Major League Cricket!

Do you think any other Pakistani will get picked in the league during the draft on 19th February?

Mohammad Amir, while speaking to a local sports media outlet:

“If Haris Rauf has a side strain, he cannot recover fully before six weeks. If it’s just stiffness, then that’s different.”

“If it is a grade one or two side strain, no matter what, it will take six weeks, and then the rehab starts."

“I got this injury during PSL a couple of years ago. If it is a side strain of grade one or two, then I don’t think he can play the Champions Trophy. I think it will be foolish to risk his career for three matches of a tournament because he won’t be able to give his 100 per cent.”
 
Never never rely on Haris Rauf , he let us down in 2023 WC , 2024 Wt20 and countless other games.

Afg played him like a street bowler during 2023WC. He is bowling equivalent of a tuller or in layman language 10cya

Pakistan pacer Rauf recovers from injury, to play Champions Trophy opener

Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf has recovered from his injury and will be available for his side's ICC Champions Trophy opening match against New Zealand on Wednesday, according to sources.

A source close to the Pakistan team confirmed to PTI on Sunday that Haris, who sustained a muscular strain in his lower chest wall during the recent tri-sries tournament, has recovered and will play in the Champions Trophy opener in Karachi.

“Haris is okay now and the rest given to him after the first match of the Tri-Series has helped him recover well,” the source said, adding that Pakistan have no fitness issues with any other player.

Sohaib Maqsood while talking on his youtube channel: "Haris Rauf must be 100% fit before the Champions Trophy. Without him, Pakistan has no chance in this tournament."
 
Haris Rauf shared following thoughts in a recent media talk:

On His Current Condition and Training:

"I'm feeling good, and I've been able to practice a bit over the last couple of days with some enthusiasm. So, I'm personally quite satisfied with my progress"

"I bowled a little and didn't feel much pain, so I'm quite satisfied with how things are going"

On the Bowling Unit:

"Alhamdulillah, we have a complete bowling unit with several spinners, not only Abrar. Salman Ali Agha, Khushdil can bowl spin too.

"We have a complete bowling unit, and we make sure to use everyone properly during the match"

On Team Dynamics and Performance:

"We have a lot of belief in each other, and God willing, whoever has a good day will perform well for the Pakistan team"

On Playing Against New Zealand and Personal Responsibility:

"Bowlers are very important in big tournaments. It's often said that bowlers win these tournaments. So will love to do that."

"We strive to win an event for Pakistan that will make our fans happy"

On Winning Trophies:

"As a player, it's definitely in my heart to win a trophy for Pakistan so that when I retire, I'm not tagged as someone who only won one tournament"

Haris Rauf Registers One of the Most Expensive Spells in Champions Trophy History

During the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clash against New Zealand in Karachi, Haris Rauf had a tough outing, conceding 83 runs in his 10-over spell. Only thr

ee bowlers in the tournament’s history have leaked more runs in a single innings.

After Mohammad Rizwan opted to field first, New Zealand capitalized on the opportunity, putting up a formidable 320/5. At one stage, they were struggling at 73/3, but a crucial 118-run stand between Will Young (107 off 113) and Tom Latham (an unbeaten 118 off 104) turned the game around. Later, Glenn Phillips provided the finishing touch with a quickfire 61 off 39 deliveries, pushing New Zealand beyond the 300-run mark.

Pakistan’s pace attack endured a long day, taking over four hours to complete their 50 overs. Shaheen Shah Afridi (10-0-68-0) and Naseem Shah (10-0-63-2) both proved expensive, going for over a run per ball. Rauf, despite dismissing Daryl Mitchell early and removing Phillips in his final over, ended with figures of 10-0-83-2—the joint fourth-most expensive spell in the tournament’s history.

It’s clear he’s a better middle overs bowler than finisher.

Pakistan don’t have any finishers due to T20 cricket.
 
This guy has handed initiative to opposition numerous times in global tournaments, wonder what's PCB fascination with him , dafa kro
 
Shaheen, Haris, Naseem will keep gettt free ride for next 10 years and the career of Wasim Jnr, Hasnain and many others will be destroyed
