What's new

[VIDEOS] Jammu and Kashmir pacer Umran Malik

No its not. Waqar had a smooth release and follow-through. His release is completely different and his follow-through and weight transfer is more towards the left side.

If he was a Pakistani he would probably even be behind Mohammad Hasnain in the pecking order and struggle to make it to any playing eleven. Because simply put he's a spray gun who gets hammered more often than not.

:))


If only he had Hasnain's level of talent. Which isn't much, but then again, the bar is pretty low in India.

Ofcourse he doesn't have Hasnain's talent, Umran doesn't chuck.

Just because the "experts" say he has little control doesn't mean I agree to it. I say that he has little/no control and an ugly action.

Whether you agree or not doesn't make a difference at the ground level. There are commentators, ex players, experts who all differ from your opinion.
 
Worst fast bowling attack of last decade speaking to the best with this level of disrespect.. lmao.

Best fast-bowling attack that got smashed for 168 in a World Cup semi-final and couldn't take a single wicket. Yeah okay bro.
 
I agree Umran definetly doesn't have the chucking talent of Hasnain. :angel:

Last I checked Hasnain's action was cleared. Seriously question those speed guns y'all are using tho. Because last month in New Zealand Umran could barely crack 150.

Speed gun looked dodgy when shoib bowled the 161 km delivery. The batsmen had all the time in the world to play the shot..

Speed guns are Speed guns they are bit of a 50/50 imo.
 
ecause last month in New Zealand Umran could barely crack 150.

I believe he clocked 151 vs Ireland in Ireland.

He is a 150 click bowler with a legal action, so touching the 156 k mark is not out of the possibility.

I still remember when Malcolm Swami touched 167 ks in Pakistan on the speed gun :))

Sami was hella quick even in 2016 against india when he was like 40 he was bowling 146 clicks
 
Good pace but there is only decent Batsman in Sri Lankan team shanaka who smashed him. Got one wicket which wasn’t even out. That being said that’s not even the main issue the guy is like 5”7 won’t last long

That's why i said decade and not a day.

Sad reality is that Pakistani fans can only take joy in isolated performances. Your greatest bowlers have been thrashed brutally at some point too, and i can also claim Nehra's superiority over Wasim, Waqar and Akhtar based on some random matches, but no, I got better sense than that.

Too bad he's still garbage with the ball and struggles to maintain an ER of 9.

The keen sense of desperation is as funny as it is sad. A country of billion plus people and the only guy y'all can find that bowls express happens to be a street bowler from a disputed territory.

Like I said, he would struggle to make any Pakistan squad for any format.

Nahh Bruh,

Pakistan's bowling attack right now is trash imo.

You have a chucker who got humiliated, banned and then told to re model his action. You have an avg to slightly above avg bowler in Shaheen Shah Afridi and that's all.

Cant compare to the India who have Shami, Siraj, Bumrah, Umran who just started his career.

Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel for Pakistan, as a cricket fan it is sad to see them like this...

Wow. That's actually the funniest thing I've heard all week. And I actually saw a couple of comedy specials this week too.

Shaheen Shah Afridi is a once in a generation bowler that your country would give and arm and a leg and just about every other body part to have. Naseem has more talent in his left shin than your entire injury-prone bowling attack. And unlike that tape ball bowler you're hyping to the moon, Haris Rauf can actually bowl quick with a coherent line and length.

I wish I had this level of confidence though after my country's bowling attack got smashed to all parts in a World Cup semi-final without picking up a single wicket lol.

Did we not witness your bowlers brilliant performances in the 5 tests against NZ and Eng? Thoda to sharam Karo.

I know pace was your trump card and you guys even don’t have that anymore. But still, it’s best to have some humility

Atleast our bowling attack wasn't made to look like a school team in a World Cup semi-final after being ripped to shreds by England. Atleast we could pick up one wicket lol which is more than I can say about your bowling attack.

I know seeing an express bowler is something new for you, but in Pakistan we have a long line of express bowlers. Some of them are not even that good. But I'd say enjoy Umran for as long as you have him. Because its only a matter of time before he has the same fate as most Indian pacers that bowl over 130 --- becoming injury-prone.

Didn't your bowling give away 500 runs in a day in a test at home? What are you blabbering about?


You talk so much, why is that no pakistani pacer has taken 200 test wickets since Waqar? Waqar made his debut in 1989.
 
Too bad India didn't carry him for world cup. Imagine him delivering 155 kph at the MCG. Will be untouchable.

Like I said, atleast we could pick up a single solitary wicket. Which is more than I can say about your bowling attack.

Our bowling is crap in test matches. In limited overs, it is good. Plus, you have to be real, overall, India is a better side. Accept our short comings and work on them.

And wish the kid well, he is a normal person with aspirations. You sound bitter.

This is such a hilarious post.

India is a better side no doubt. Their bowling is also far, far superior to Pakistan's in Tests. But the way their posters are hyping this completely untested and unproven tape-ball cricketer to the moon is beyond laughable. Just because they have finally found one bowler in a country of a billion plus who can bowl express.
 
Many many matches have been won by 10 wickets. But 500 in a day is the 2nd worst performance in 130+ years history of test cricket

Are these the same pitches where Babar and other Pakistani batsmen are scoring runs(soft) for fun? If you are calling them patta pitches then you should sympathise with all the bowlers who bowled on these pitches and don't judge them there. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You have to pick either batsmen or bowlers to criticise on such pitches lol. :inti

Shaheen and Naseem both are better bowlers than Umran.

Siraj is better bowler than Naseem Shah though.

Bumrah is better bowler than Shaheen Shah too.
 
I would take Lahiru Kumara over Umran but then he is sri lankan. India need Umran, the 145+ kph bowler and not the bowler who trundles at late 130s.

Siraj is the best ODI bowler currently for India

The thing about guys like Umran is he can crank it up when needed. Can Bhuvi do that. If a batsma waltz down and smash you for a couple of sixes will Bhuvi increase the speed? He will bowl even slower. Where Umran can crank it up.

He did not do that today. Either someone from TM told him to do that or he is not fit for longer formats. Not saying he should bowl 150 every time. His avg speed was around 138-140 today.

You will see some fluctuations with back to back matches. He is well aware what his role is. Enforcer in middle overs. More he plays better he will get. HE also knows why he is backed.

Watch his second spell. He bowled the fastest of around 151.8kph.
 
What Umran Malik has achieved in such a short time is astonishing. We need to keep in mind that Umran hasn't come through the age cricket like most of the Indian bowlers. He was playing Tennis ball tournaments at the age of 17 and only started to play competitive cricket with cricket ball only couple of years ago. So give him some time. He is an amazing talent with great control. Without playing much domestic cricket he still exhibits great control with the ball.

He will take time and we need to keep patience. If he came into Indian team after playing age cricket then we can criticise him but right now what he doing is nothing sort of amazing. If he plays for another yeah or so with experienced players like Bumrah, Shami, Siraj etc, he is only going to improve. This is the first time India has picked a bowler only based on ability without much domestic cricket experience and they have done this because of his unique ability.

Umran in this current Indian setup will thrive but again we need to be patient. No need to compare him with others. If he can go for even 6 runs per over but give us couple of wickets that is what India will be looking at. Someone who can bowl fast and intimidate batters in the middle overs. With time he will learn new tricks and will become a more dangerous version of himself.

Yup. Moral support is one thing. There is another support which has to come directly from the captain. Umran is raw, untested not used to match situation. He won't even know what field needs to be set. Other pacers, captain have to help him. SO far what i see Rohit sharma is giving him terrible fields. So was KL Rahul. Most of the runs go behind third. And second support catching. Fast bowling is a thankless job. Fielders have to support them. It is entirely in the hands of the management how to shape his career. Too bad Bumrah is not available to guide him.
 
Pace is something God given that must be nurtured and developed. I think Umran Malik is still a couple years away from being at his best - he's a little inconsistent right now and I could see him going for some big runs during an important match. Additionally, his height may hold him back from entering the most elite levels of fast bowling.

I would not play him in this upcoming World Cup, but he is certainly one to look out for in the future.
 
Umran's delivery clocked at 156 KPH by Hindi broadcast but 145.7 by English

Umran Malik bowled a 156kph delivery with which he broke his own record for the fastest ball by an India bowler. But he may not get the credit for it as the official Hindi and English language broadcasts created major confusion by showing different results on the speed gun for the same delivery.

Umran Malik has not just impressed with pace, but also with wickets. In the first ODI match between India and Sri Lanka at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Umran finished with figures of 3 for 57 in eight overs as India won by 67 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-game contest. But what left his name trending across social media platforms on Tuesday night was his thunderbolt delivery of 156kph with which he broke his own record for the fastest delivery by an India bowler. But he may not get the credit for it as the official Hindi and English language broadcasts created major confusion by showing different results on the speed gun for the same delivery.


Introduced right after the powerplay, Umran delivered that record ball in the fourth delivery of his second over, which was the 14th over of Sri Lanka's chase. The Hindi broadcast did not show anything on the speed gun, visible at the bottom of the screen when Umran bowled the fourth ball of the over but moments later, it showed the speeds of each delivery of that over, which marked the fourth ball to be 156 kph. It was fuller in length and around off as Sri Lanka batter Charith Asalanka punched it through the covers for two singles.

Brainless Team management does play Umran, instead plays Axar Patel.

A finger spinner like Axar is useless in white ball.

This mentality of the team management to play extremely avg bowlers because they can bat will backfire just like it did in the T20 WC.
 
Axar in subcontinent is not useless in white ball. But in today's game, India could have sent one of the lefties at 4 and push Surya down at 6.

There won’t be spinning pitches and you cannot play 3 spinners. His uselessness was seen in ipl as well

Axar has done well in ODIs. IPL happened an year ago and it is 20-20 tournament.

Actually forget Axar, I think India should have played Washington Sundar as he is also a leftie and technically more proficient with bat. He can bat higher too if there is a collapse or else you have batting depth till 8.

Sundar is a proper all rounder.
 
Bit expensive in his 2 overs in his first IPL game - Let's see if he improves

The Indian Premier League 2023 season hasn't seen the Umran Malik that fans wanted. The express pacer didn't impress the way he did last season for Sunrisers Hyderabad, owing to inconsistent shows, coupled with a dip in bowling speed as well. Ahead of the Sunriers' final league game of the season against Mumbai Indians, Umran was asked about his views on the way this season went for him. The young speedster said that he didn't get to bowl as consistently as he did last season for the franchise.

"Last year, I played all games and bowled all overs. This time, I bowled less overs and took 5 wickets only. When I wasn't playing, I was putting on the hard work. I hope to perform better today (against MI)," Umran told Murali Kartik ahead of the game against MI.

When Kartik pointed out that Umran's pace has also not been as fiery as it was last season, the pacer from Jammu & Kashmir argued that he has only been bowling a couple of overs this season which isn't enough for him to warm up.

"I don't think my pace is impacted. If I bowl only two overs... I also need some overs to heat up my batteries and get that pace up. I'm trying to bowl the right lines with good speed, and with some variations.

"When the team needs wickets, I target wickets. Otherwise, I try to curb the flow of runs," Umran added.

In the match, Umran bowled three overs, conceding a whopping 41 runs without picking a single wicket. While there's no denying the talent that Umran has, there's still plenty of work that needs to be done before he fulfills the potential people see in him.

SRH under Aiden Makram (who is pretty ordinary himself) looks like a Zimbabwe level team.

Umran needed a captain like Williamson. The field settings last year were much better and different. He let Umran attack.
 
Bringing back in a dead rubber at batting paradise like Wankhede is a recipe for disaster. Markram was utterly clueless. He had two 150k bowlers in Tyagi and Umran. Yet persisted with some random bowlers.

Playing Tyagi and Umran would have allowed them to play Rashid as spinner. Adil Rashid is a very good t20 spinner plus handy batsman.

SRH had strange tactics. They had a good squad.
 
Far better prospect than Rauf. He will turn 23 this year, there is plenty of time for India to mould him into a top bowler across formats.

Rauf will turn 29 this year, he is at an age where he should be at the peak of his powers, but he is a rookie with no maturity in his bowling. He is nothing more than a right-handed Wahab.
safe to say that Umran Malik is a soda bottle that Indian fans shook up and he pop out..

currently avging 40+ with the ball in domestic.

What an insult for Rauf to be compared to this guy

He will be back. Atleast he won't make a conspiracy theory out of slow bowling speed unlike Afridi.

The biggest insult is to be compared to Rauf, who is the biggest joke and fakest fast bowler I have ever seen.

So you should apologize to Umran for comparing him to Rauf.

He needs domestic cricket to sharpen his skills. He has played 7 FC games only. That too across 4 seasons. He is only 24.

He will be back once he is ready.

Umran won't run away to play some stupid league if called up for the test team.

Umran is not good enough to play BBL. 2nd bowling avg of 40 plus.....

I dont even rate Rauf, but Umran is no match to Haris

Interesting, so you will keep on defending an overhyped bowler with 40+ bowling avg and still bash Rauf for it.

Rauf is miles better than this man

So let's not even talk about it.
there are better bowlers on the streets of australia than getting an awful bowler known as umran.

these guys were matching his speeds with Ahktar.

Bhai, we have had many such bowlers, so before next time you go gaga on speed, ask about line and length aswell :)

Which Australian told you this?

What is wrong in comparing the speed of Umran who has bowled in excess of 97mph to Akhtar?

do comparison when he is good enough to play international cricket and not have a domestic avg of 40+
