[VIDEOS] Mohammad Hasnain : International cricket performance watch

First run in professional cricket apparently for Hasnain!
 
Unimpressive to be honest. Just pace and nothing else. Np attitude.. no brains. Have seen better debutants but then when was the last time we had a breakthrough star...hmmm ohh yea md amir

He learnt this from his captain.
 
Too raw for an world cup. Very strange selection on the back of one PSL tournament. I actually think he is more needed in test matches but needs some first class experience.

Be interesting to see what the final world cup squad will be but his place will be under threat. We have three bowlers who could be discarded , in Faheem, Junaid & Husnain. But too late for replacements? What bad planning by the selectors.
 
No way he should be in the WC squad. Almoat fair enough to pick him for this series but he's taking the place of others that could have got used to English conditions.
 
Picked too early will get smashed and will never play again.

Perhaps other batsmen should have learnt from the captain as well, it'll prevent them from scoring selfish centuries and actually bat as required by the team.
 
Got pace but that's about it.

I don't see him troubling the batsmen much. gun barrel straight without any variation.
 
Still raw and not ready for international cricket. He should play 3-4 domestic seasons for improvement.

Amir has to replace him in WC squad.
 
Not bad performance against # 1 team and against best batting side on batting paradises. Was bit unlucky with boundaries on edges and poor fieldings. IMO should remain in the team as he could be useful against #3 4 5 teams.

He lost his pace a bit but so is the every other bowler too & this is bcz of our bowling coach.

If one bowler lost his pace then it's his fault but if entire squad lost the the pace then it's due to the coaching management who wants bowlers to emphasize on line.
 
The problem with like our other bowlers is that when they are attacked they fall to pieces. It is incredibly difficult to respond to full on assault from the likes of Buttler, Roy etc where even the good balls disappear but what you don't do is to start bowling rubbish. He needs to watch all his bowling and look at where he bowled rubbish and why?

Valid point made, decline of every single bowler not only in terms of pace but in every other aspect can only happen by someone who can influence them all.
 
When he bowls it full, he looks a class apart.

Will be definitely in my WC-squad.
 
I was initially against him being in the squad and felt Rauf should have been here but I am almost convinced now. Very good pace, good physicality and when the ball starts to reverse, he looks very good.

Work on his yorkers and he could be crucial.

If you ask me his current state reminds me of Mohammad Irfan debut more then anyone else. Yes, we don't have reserves of fast bowlers, but that is no reason to destroy a 19-year-olds career in this selfish manner he is a boy who got some pace but needs to learn a lot more before he can play cricket on the top level.

He played 2 first-class matches, and they sent him to play world cup on these batting paradises of wickets. I am not against the youngster I think his current state is an embarrassment for Pakistan cricket and suicide for his career and confidence.

There’s an article on him today in an Indian paper saying he was actually on the Pakistani radar before the psl commenced and he just missed out on the u19 wc due to an injury
 
QalandarFan said:
Really was impressed with him in the last game bowled his heart out at and average of 90 mph. Just needs to work on that loose delivery he bowls every now and then, but he certainly has that X factor about him triggered the collapse in the last game.

He’s simply not ready for international level yet. He may never be. He needs a year or two in domestic cricket to prove himself.
 
Way too raw.

Can't afford to have Shaheen and Hasnain in the same 15 let alone the XI.

Also Hasan has only played international cricket for 34 months and for 12 of those he's been absolute garbage.

Shaheen has only been playing for about 8 months now.

You cannot go with an inexperienced bowling attack.

These are the types of statements that will be replayed again and again when he does perform for Pakistan.

Quite a short term thinking, and one of the reasons why Pakistan cricket is in not a very healthy state.

He might or might not do well in International cricket. No one can guess that. But if he is too raw (I have never seen him bowl, just comments from posters on PP), then he will not be consistent. He might win a game for Pakistan, but might lose way more.

This is not the 80s or the 90s anymore where players are allowed to develop in international cricket. Results are expected from the start. A degree of rawness is fine when a player starts international cricket, but his selection should backed by a season or 2 of domestic cricket. If he has a couple of poor matches at international level, people will be at his throat. He will not get time to develop that thinking process and learn form his failures. A few failures in domestic cricket will help in his development.

Take Pant vs Dhoni for example. BCCI did the right thing by getting Pant to play at least 2 domestic seasons before adding him to the Indian test team. I would even argue that they have done the right thing by keeping Dhoni as no.1 keeper, because Pant is still a bit raw in his methods. Having said that, he should have been the no.2 keeper in the ODI team, at least an year back. He had shown the results and had gone through the grind of domestic results, some failures and some success to prove that he was ready.
 
I am impressed bu Husnain , a very good run up (could be better) and a strong delivering action as well.


Pakistan need to get a real bowling coach though , azhar mehmood has not been good enough.

Where are the yorkers when we need them the most?
 
The same people saying he's way too raw are the ones claiming Haris Rauf would be our saviour. Lmao. I wouldn't have picked Hasnain in the initial World Cup squad in the first place, but after the England series, he probably deserved to stay in it over the likes of Faheem Ashraf and Junaid Khan. Usman Shinwari would have been a better option though, and you can find my posts on some threads when the inital squad was announced the UKS had to be there over Hasnain.

It looks like a labored runup, but I am loathe to criticize 90mph pacers - except wahab
 
Expect to see more of him as per Sarfaraz

"Hasnain is player who can be our star bowler in future because he has pace and ability. His development is in progress. We have kept him with the team. We wanted to give him a chance but it was a 3 ODI series and one was washed out so we went with our best possible team for those matches and he didn't fit in that team. But in T20s, you will see him in the playing XI"
 
So Hasnain gets a chance to play in Pakistan! included in the XI for 1st T20I
 
A lesson being quickly taught that you have to be able to vary your pace and length in T20Is, rather than just banging it in every ball in the same area.

He has the basic ingredients but needs to develop consistency, early swing and polish what he already has to grow as a cricketer in his international career.

Came back well after that first over where he bowled far too short.

Next 3 overs he mixed it up much better with slower balls, Yorkers and varied his length.

1: 12/0 (PP)
2: 10/0
3: 09/1
4: 06/2

This shows he is much better and comfortable bowling with an older ball.
 
Mohammad Hasnain gets a hattrick

just his 2nd t20 and he has gotten a hattrick
 
He hasn't improved much as a bowler in last 6 months apart from gaining few ks, still no swing, struggles to bowl Yorkers and doesn't possess an intelligent bowling mind, i don't think he can last in T20s. Perhaps he can be a test specialist if he learns to put Yorkers in his armory, can be tried in ODIs as well, but definitely not t20 material, he will get murdered more often than not.

Extremely average. But because he has pace, he will be massively overhyped by pace obsessed Pakistani fans.
 
Mohammad Hasnain speaking to the media:

"I always try and bowl faster than what I have bowled in CPL and I hope I can bowl faster than that"

"I hope that I will be given an opportunity to play in Tests for Pakistan..and I will give my 100%"

"I learn a lot from Amir, Wahab and Shinwari and if I am called in to play in their place, there is no pressure on me"

"We are all working on our fielding and hope we will improve it"

"I would like to thank the people who came to see the match and I felt very good playing on a Pakistani ground and I hope there will be more cricket played in Pakistan and I will do well"
 
Hasnain has serious pace but he can improve his bowling skills further. He definitely has the potential though.
 
Early days in his T20I career and I thought he did quite well after a shaky start today.

His first over he was trying to bang it in, but then he had a think and varied it a lot more - got some yorkers in, slower balls, varied the angles, and improved his length.

Not perfect, but not a disaster.
 
He has looked very poor so far and definetly isnt ready for international cricket yet.

However his pace is rare for pakistan bowlers these days and therefore Pakistan would have to give him maximum oppurtunities.
 
Started poorly, but held his nerve and came back really well. Definitely a great talent but looks quite raw, needs to work on his seam position in FC cricket.
 
I do not rate him at all. I said that when he played his first international match. He is a mediocre bowler. We should not invest in such mediocrity.
 
Decent last over. But for all the pace, he does not move the ball at all. Wahab provides more value as things stand currently. WIll be canon fodder if he plays in the T20 WC.
 
It's astonishing that we have Haris Rauf who can bowl swinging Yorkers at will is sidelined because of him
 
This kid is one thrashing away from the end of his career. Good teams will be ruthless against his predictable bowling (looking at Finch and Warner next month here)

Reincarnation of Sami and Wahab

He is far worse, M.Sami had a decent outswinger plus can bowl fairly accurate Yorkers, Wahab has that deadly toe crusher reversing Yorker but both of them doesn't have the intelligence or mental toughness to succeed, lol Hasnain has no skills nor intelligence currently.

He is probably going to steal the throne, no swing, no Yorkers, no intelligence, let's see if he develops in to decent bowler in couple of years, playing him in t20 is a stupid move with his skill set

Shadab, Asif now and Hasnain. There is a clear pattern here.

PSL is a mediocre league and not a platform that can be used to fast-track players. Doing well in PSL against a bunch of dead cricketers does not guarantee international success.
 
Sher Khan said:
Does anyone else think his action looks doubtful??
Click to expand...

It's not just doubtful, he's definitely throwing. Whether it's within the allowed range, 5 degrees or 15 degrees or whatever it is these days, I don't know. But there's definitely a bhatta in there.
 
Also, he has pace, but it's Waqar's job to teach him how to bowl, and everyone else can just hope that he is a quick learner.

Although his success might be severely limited in any case. You need an attacking mindset to make the most of a fast bowler, but with this captain and coach/selector, well, it's threatening to be a story Pakistanis are all too familiar with.
 
20yr old and people are criticizing him.

He has time to develop accuracy and skills.

If we had to pick someone on PSl performance then it should have been Haris Rauf.

He has time. But these attributes should be developed at Domestic level, not International level.

He is way too raw for International level.

Agreed but for a fast bowler you don't need leagues to judge his quality so things like pace, swing/seam, Yorkers, reversing are just plain skills which you either have it or you don't and if you have it you will get wickets irrespective of the quality of league you are playing, don't you think that Haris Rauf with his good outswing and deadly reversing can't make an impact if he plays in IPL instead PSL?
Tougher leagues like IPL and BBL just gauges player's mental strength and resilience not skill set.

I am not sure. He looks like a right-handed Wahab to me who would prove to be expensive in IPL and international cricket. If Wahab was to be judged solely on his PSL performances which have been fantastic every season, he would also be rated very highly.

The quality of batting is quite poor in the PSL and the likes of Hasnain and Wahab often do not get the treatment their wayward bowling deserve.

Well in my opinion any bowler bowls 140k+ and has got decent outswing and can bowl reversing Yorkers at will, will find success in any format of the game at any stage unless he is M.Sami
 
Even if you bowl that kind of stuff to virat Kohli for 5 overs straight he surely going to miss one to get lbw or end up edging one.
