[VIDEOS] Mohammad Hasnain : International cricket performance watch

Pace alone doesnt guarantee success in international cricket. Yes its an invaluable asset to have in your armoury but if you are just going to bang the ball in as fast as you can, chances are youll be smashed all over.

Its the reason why bowlers like lahiru kumara and wahab have not done well in international cricket.

I strongly believe hasnain is chucking. Especially when he tries to bowl the Yorker.
 
He shouldn't have been stopped from playing in CPL. Jofra became overnight sensation by playing in franchise T20 leagues otherwise he would have been in the same place as Jamie Porter and other pacers in CC.
 
Too soon to be written-off, he deserves more chances.

With experience he will improve and become a better bowler.

The kid is only 19 remember.
 
This type of international experience is invaluable for young players, especially in front of the home crowd. Hasnain's action is a repeatable one. It's a matter of getting his run-up and extension at the crease consistent so he can maintain his pace and line. Once that happens, he becomes a huge asset for Pakistan.
 
A mediocre player
Pakistan is just wasting time on him, he will never improve, he is inferior version of Sami/ Talha/ Wahab etc.

Just stop this non sense PSL, it is hurting PCT more than anything

It gives us mediocre player in the form of Shadab, Hasnain, Asif.
 
I do not rate him one bit, go to Punjab or KPK if you want to find a good fast bowler
 
Lets not make the mistake and judge the quality of this youngster so quickly. He's still learning and we're not at a stage in the domestics to groom our young pacers, so let him be in the international setup with Waqar for the next few years, otherwise we could potentially miss a genuine beast of a bowler.

Agree with Saj..20 20 is micky mouse cricket all batters are going after you apart from ours who are just tuk tuks. He will learn from this and become better..his run up has gone slightly smoother with waqar younis as coach surely he will improve. pace is something you cant buy overnight..

Posters saying he's chucking but looked clean to me. Is he chucking the odd effort ball?
 
Should of played today , what does it do for a youngsters confidence being dropped for a meaningless dead rubber
 
Husnain should play remaining first class matches .He doesn't seems ready and playing first class will improve him
 
I thought they should have played him in all 3 T20Is, what did Shinwari do today!

By picking him, dropping him, picking him again and then dropping him, they are probably doing more harm to him than good.

The guy offer nothing in T20s , zero skill set , However he can be an ideal test 3rd seamer , got enough pace and height , just need to learn how to move the ball away plus he is fairly accurate outside off stump. Could be an asset on those UAE graveyards.
 
His confidence is sure to have taken a hammering after his recent treatment at the World Cup and beyond that.

Player management has never been a strong skill in Pakistan ceicket.
 
My first impression regarding him is that he just has pace and no control over his deliveries. Can bowl yorkers and doesnt really move the ball much. The pace is also not Akhtar style so a long way to go before he can be a regular.

I think he is fairly accurate apart from yorkers which he can't bowl to save his life. just needed a waqar touch on him for next 6 month.

Some players can't improve no matter under which coach they are playing , I mean no one on earth could teach Wahab the inswingers , I hope this isn't the case with Hasnain because he barely improved during last 5/6 months.
 
Hasnain, Shaheen are the future of Pak bowling. Just need to use them with caution and care. They should be given 2 full seasons of county cricket. Afridi is more mature of the two. Hasnain is still raw.
 
Knew it when I saw him first in the PSL, he is not ready at all for international cricket. Has no control over line and length and recently been bowling only between 145-148kph which is freebies with the line and length he bowls.

I remember watching Shaheen in the U19 world cup and the control he had with also the raw pace it was extraordinary, I was always sure he would be a star. With Hasnain he has never won me over, on the other hand you can see the control with which Naseem Shah bowls and he should definitely be working with Waqar Younis ASAP.
 
Naseem is just on another level , he is far more talented than young Amir ever was , I think if he nurtured properly he can be the next Wasim / Waqar from Pak.
 
He needs to play a full season or two of FC cricket as it'll help him bring much needed discipline into his bowling, and will also help him develop his skills.
 
Worst thing about Pakistan cricket? Player management! We have seen time and again, specifically with fast bowlers, who come in with a bang and show lot of potential but slowly deteriorate due to pathetic player management and the these players fade away from international scene for a while and some manage to make a comeback with a bang again. This pretty much applies to all our fast bowlers, player management is key reason on how trundlers are turned into decent bowlers in India while express bowlers are turned trundlers in Pakistan.
 
don't worry about t20. you are young. focus on getting better in your craft. Money will come later.
Play first class cricket.
prove yourself.

Make it big.

haris rauf and this boy needs to be nurtured very carefully.
 
He is clearly not ready yet. Needs to go back to domestic cricket.

I would try haris rauf in the t20s v australia. He has more control and varies his pace and length well and is a genuine wicket taker.
 
too many expectations and than all start winning.

He has pace not every tom and harry has it.

Secondly he has played in flat trak what you expect him to do banana's on qadafi stadium pitch.

He is young and has lots of potential. Got pace good rising bounce. Thats all for me. if he works on his line and length he will do wonders.

I hope people dont try to fudge with him a lot and try to make a blend of Asif and shoaib akhtar.

Just leave the kid with his natural style.
 
Excellent stuff from Hasnain vs KP today 2/29 in 4 overs
 
"Hasnain runs on the heels, most of the times he labours to reach the popping crease and that's where he loses his pace" : Shoaib Akhtar

"But even after that, he bowls 150KpH+ as we saw in the CPL! Although I agree with Shoaib Akhtar that he loses his pace due to running on his heels and that is why I feel he is not ready for the longer versions of the game; We need to groom him and prepare him for the longer version; At the moment, I feel he is good for T20Is and he has the talent so we need to keep him with the team and try to sort out the problems such as running on the heels and his strides which are big, he needs to relax a little and needs to have rhythm in his run-up which I feel can be sorted" : Waqar Younis

"He should lose about 10 yards from his run up as he seems to be struggling to get to the popping crease" : Shoaib Akhtar

"I dont think its about cutting down the run-up but bringing rhythm in the run-up, as its sometime hard to ask someone to cut down runup and bowl with same pace as before, unless he believes himself that he needs to do it" : Waqar Younis
 
He needs to spend more time playing domestic cricket so he can improve on being more consistent. I don't like the fact he leaks a lot of runs. He must control his bowling. Right now he is way too raw for any international Cricket.
 
Mickey Arthur speaking on TV:

"I'd play Hasnain, you need a right-armer and he'd replace Irfan. Hasnain brings a different angle"
 
Why he's not getting chances is beyond me. Why have a 37 year old Irfan who is bowling low to mid 130s when you can have a young kid who bowls 145+...
 
3 left armers is brainless -- should have a right-armer for variety and change of angle. We really need to let go of this experience players have to play and fail for anybody to be given a chance. Why even take Khushdil, Musa or Hasnain...

I would pick Irfan and Wahab over Hasnain currently, he is just not t20 material and has the potential to go for 40+ runs every 2nd match.

Yeah and so do Wahab and Irfan, id much rather give a youngster a chance instead of 2 old players who will not get any better.

Why try to make him in to a t20 bowler when he can be a good ODI bowler?

Why can't he play both?

Because currently he is more of a liability than asset, continues phainta in T20s will affect his confidence in other formats as well.
Secondly we have more ready young bowlers in T20s than him and it will be unfair to them.

Irfan and Wahab in today's T20 match gave 60 runs together, while Irfan gave 31 runs in 2 overs in rain affected previous match where luckily for us Wahab did'nt bowl. Australians were looking to finish in 8 overs.

Irfan is behaving like a spray gun, bowling wayward deliveries outside off. Hasnain at least mixes it up and bowls wicket to wicket. Surprised of your opinion favoring Irfan in terrible state.

If Mickey Arthur and Sarfaraz were still there, I doubt Irfan would even be playing. Shinwari, Shaheen or even Hasnain would've been opening the bowling. Really sad sight Pakistan teamis looking where Misbah is making his personal kitchen team.

I would have gone to Hasan Ali (if Fit) or Faheem Ashraf than Hasnain at the moment , I dont want him to play T20 at all , it will dent his confidence and he will end up like another M.Sami.

Yep.

I'd go to the extent of not playing any promising young bowlers in the T20s.

Dents their confidence, bowling mindset, injuries.
 
Worse than Mo Sami no idea of line & length.. rather have Mo Irfans 15rpo than Hasnains 25 rpo.

Finch warner smith will put him into early retirement.
 
Another chance to impress for Hasnain - good fast pitch
 
What does the future hold for him? Another Sami in the making or will he improve and become a match winner?

Thats down to him. If he works hard he can become a superstar otherwise another sami

Not going to happen this time because we have plenty of real pacers these days and if Hasnain is not performing than he will have a hard time getting in to the team unlike M.Sami's time when we don't have any bowler capable to hit 150ks and hence he got selected again and again just because he had pace.

Pace is his USP but the brand has no substance. He has the worst seam I have ever seen at any level. He has to put the hard yards in to correct this huge flaw in his bowling which means he can't get people out. The other noticeable thing about his bowling is that batsmen have time to play him, and that is a bad sign for a pace Bowler.
 
Maybe pushed forward too soon and after only 1 PSL tournament.

A lesson to be learnt for the PCB, coaches and selectors.
 
It is between Haris Rauf and Hasnain for the WT20

I'd have 10000% Rauf.

Hasnain is overrated.
 
I honestly don’t understand.

Of the teenage quicks:

1. Naseem Shah is the most gifted but will be limited in Tests a little by his height. Waqar has clearly been working on his length and it’s working.

2. Shaheen Shah Afridi is less gifted but his height, speed and angle ensure a brilliant career.

3. Musa Khan is so short that he clearly will be a white ball specialist. The same is probably true of Haris Rauf, but he is just tall enough (5’10) to have a chance in the longer forms.

Hasnain is 6’1 and that makes him a viable indeed promising red ball prospect. To me, it seems obvious that he needs to be with Waqar and the Test team, working on his lengths with Waqar and doing endurance fitness work.

I don’t want to see Hasnain literally break his back in domestic cricket. I think the PCB should tell him that he is being prepared for Test cricket by intensive training with Waqar and a special fitness regime.

But no domestic cricket, and no white ball cricket!

Expectations were too high and no doubt he has failed to live up to them but he has time to work on his weaknesses. For me the seam is the most important and if he doesn't get movement, he wont take wickets. It's something that can be solved with hard work.
 
Woww... whole analysis which bowler suits which format based on height. Dale Stein, Darren Gough, Jerome Taylor played all formats successfully.

It is the hunger, skill and ability to.learn, absorb pressure and adapt that matter. Height can play some role but not a.limiting or deciding factor.

His seam was.much better at emerging cup he is clearly very raw but has massive potential as he is quicketst of all the new pacers and has great fast bowler built and height we should not give up on him.

No, they didn’t.

The single most important asset for a fast bowler is height. Everything else is secondary.

He’s done reasonably well in the opportunities he’s been given and the raw talent is clearly there. Not sure what warrants the Sami comparisons?

Nobody is giving up. When you have anyone near 90mph, he will be given a very long rope. The seam is fixable and if you are right then we will start to see the fruits very soon.

It's good to see your faith in coaching staff. Bowlers are developing well and yeah let's see what Waqar can do with him.
 
Waqar Younis in his interview with PP

PakPassion.net: Mohammad Hasnain’s introduction to international cricket has been a stop-start affair. What are your thoughts on him as a bowler?

Waqar Younis: He was picked in the Mickey Arthur regime for the World Cup based upon some good performances at the Pakistan Super League which of course was 4-over cricket. I feel he’s a young bowler who is probably not ready for playing in the 50-over format just yet, where he will be required to bowl 10 overs. He’s at the National Cricket Academy these days working on his fitness and he’s getting used to bowling more overs as he showed at the ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup. He’s a young man who can bowl 150Kph and we don’t want him to lose that ability. Hasnain is very much in our plans and our aim is to have a pack of pace-bowlers available to us, all of them fit, all of them available and ready. We would like to use them accordingly and based on where we are playing and keep them fresh. He’s a talented kid, who bowls very well with the new ball and we are keeping a close eye on him and no doubt he will be an asset for Pakistan cricket.
 
I have high hopes of him no doubt..i dont know why he hasnt played first class this season..you cant just play 20 20s....he was amazing in the emerging cup just to the fact of his speed.

Obvious he has issues especially his run up but surely Waqar needs to see that..not every day you get bowlers who can bowl 145kph plus...
 
Hasnain looking leaner but almost on the thin side for me?
 
Looks fitter and like he's lost some weight.

I know the coaches have been looking closely at his fitness levels and stamina.
