[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.
