[VIDEOS] Mohammad Hasnain : International cricket performance watch

He's bowling has got potential but his fielding is poor and really needs to improve.
 
Worth reminding some that the kid is going to turn just 21 in a couple of days time.

Keep the faith, this kid will get better.
 
Deffo wanna see this guy get some test matches , the longer format will really develop him as a bowler.

He didn't had the stamina to play test cricket. Think Waqar said it in an interview then.

Well we saw how much stamina Naseem Shah had, get burned out repeatedly for so many times in that series.. Infact him burning out gave the chance to Musa to debut..

Honestly all three havent played enough four day matches to have the stamina, then why did they select to an all important Aus tour... Just because Amir and Wahab announced retirement, these egoistic idiots took rookies with zero FC experience to show that to retirees and show off see we have got a gem of young bowling unit which in reality doesn't have enough gas to last 5 days ..

One of the most egoistic bunch of management Pak have in place right now, more players will say goodbye under this 2 stupid massively built ego coaches... They defy logic, suggestions, common sense to select anyone in the team , also cries for having their buddies not selected.

These two have been part of the PCT in different roles and capacity ever since 2010, till now they haven't produced 1 single player who is breaking the records now like Imam and Babar do... They continuously chop and change the team combination, batting order and will never rest a frontline bowler even for dead rubbers... In summary these two are good enough to coach lagaan walae team, even UAE shouldnt hire these two as coaches...

Reminder: Not the first time players rebelled against Waqar and his presence in the dressing room..

He needs to play 2 FC seasons for that without that he is a disaster waiting to happen which will most likely impact his Loi game too
 
Every now and then he loses his run up which means that he is not balanced at the crease. Most of the time that means he drags the ball down.

Something to work on.

South African commentators also speaking about his wrist position which could be improved and would help him swing the ball more.

With Waqar Younis as bowling coach, he should be able to correct at least basics of young bowlers
 
He is less talented than Sami but his bowling IQ is at the same level.
 
Him, Naseem and Rauf — all three need to be written off. They will never come good.

Pakistani fans who have high hopes from this trio are setting themselves up for disappointment.
 
He's bowling in the later stages exactly as he does at the start of the innings.

Any half decent bowler should know that you can't do that or you will get smashed around.
 
1st ODI - last 2 overs 22 runs
2nd ODI - last 3 overs 31 runs
 
His bowling aside, am I the only one that thought he should’ve batted ahead of shaheen and Rauf?

This guy was easily hitting boundaries whilst the other two could barely put bat on ball. With a confident tailender on his side, it could’ve been a little easier for Fakhar.

True

3 fours out of 5 balls received.

Best strike rate in the Pakistan team today :P
 
I am praying Waqar and Misbah don't ruin this kid. He has serious potential. The second most talented young bowler in the country after Shaheen.

But it seems like there is no work being done on him. He is probably told to just go out there and try his best.

Also he seemed far more capable with the bat than Shaheen and Rauf. How clueless is this team management?

[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] if you have any contacts there with PCB , I think we should get some funding/donations from our overseas Pakistani fans to help if needed to arrange for that English batting coach who did some work with Shan Masood some years ago to spend even a couple of weeks with Mohammed Hasnain just focusing on his batting - I reckon with the right coaching he has some serious batting talent there, he could well become the next genuine all rounder for Pakistan after Imran Khan. :)
 
There work needed in his bowling action. I'm sick of foreign commentators saying he needs to make changes to bowling action, run-up and delivery yet Waqar Younis hasn't addressed it yet.

Pakistan need a better bowling coach. Ian Pont please.
 
Hasnain is the real thing. He is just not bowling like he bowls at the death in PSL.

And absolutely terrified of pitching the ball up throughout the game.

Misbah and Waqar have this uncanny knack of reversing a player's progress by putting little fears in their heads.

Yes I refuse to blame him. He develops and then enters the team and reverses course.
 
During the PSL he was bowling some good yorkers with serious pace.

Should try that also during ODIs at the back end of the innings.

After being replaced for the third Test against England by Sami Aslam, Masood reached a crossroads. A change had to be made. In order to get his career back on track, a new way of thinking had to come into the fold. Step forward, Gary Palmer. After playing first-class cricket for Somerset, Palmer is a coach who believes that an open stance prevents players from falling towards the offside. He is convinced that attention to detail on technique, as well as hitting hundreds of balls to implement the method and ‘build muscle memory’, is paramount to a batsman’s success. They are methods that former England captain Alastair Cook has benefitted from hugely since he began working with Palmer back in 2015. It proved to be an integral part of Cook’s resurgence in form.

Mohammad Sami had potential. He’s a 20 year old who bowls 90+mph, gets decent rise and has an outswinger.

You might want to look up the word potential lol

I always thought Abbas and Afridi were always batted too high up, and Hasnain always showed better batting ability.

More than Half the pakistani players who debut have potential or "talunt". But Pakistani fans love to overestimate potentials. This kid doesn't look impressive at all. That "it" factor is much rarer than you think. Shaheen's the only pacer we have with that "it"
 
He seems a carbon copy of Sami with some added advantage of height and pace. Unfortunately he lacks the sharp mind and skills needed to take out a batsman . A bowler without control and basic plan is toothless . I am afraid he is going down the hill having shown zero progress for the last few years.

God knows how many seamers I've seen come and go since Amir and ASif left in 2010. We finally got one to stick in Shaheen. What makes you think hasnain has anything to offer ti become a fixture in the side.

Waqar's been with the team for 2 years now, thats more than enough time to work with a bowler and iron out his flaws.

He needs to be playing domestic 4 day games and T-20, ODI tournaments. Hasnain has been kept in the team on the bench when he should be learning more about bowling by playing games.

What is Ian Pont's resume? Has he actually shown results with a team as a bowling coach? Anyone can talk in interviews.
 
Husnain is a fantastic ODI prospect. I hope the management don’t throw him into tests just yet as he’s very raw and needs a couple of seasons to develop but he’s ok as an odi bowler working in his swing and L&L. I DONT KNOW WHY HE DOESN’T BOWL YORKERS

I think his lack of fitness is a problem which hurts his bowling at the death. Misbah and Waqar said he has fitness issues which is why he is only confined to T-20's for now.

"It" is a movie with a clown. You want to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of a cricketer we can carry on the conversation. You want to talk about clowns take it to Timepass.

It factor is a made up term by people that don't understand the sport. You look at what someone can do with bowl and if it is being used to good effect or not.

nope he bowled many deliveries above 140 kph in his last spell. Yup you are right going over 10 RPO is the skill that only prasidh and saini can have
Click to expand...

Lol mate, dont make it a India- Pak rivalry and jump at perceived insults. Saini is quick but ****, I agree, Prasidh seems to have some talent similar to Hasnain. Prasidh has barely played a couple of games, while Hasnain is yet to blow away any opposition. So when I say has Venky Prasad been coaching Hasnain, it was more a remark on Venky as a coach more than Hasnain. I guess coaches over there are no better, Naseem has soon becone a 135ks bowler from the 150 he was a year or so back.
 
No brain at all

Just goes through the motion without any strategy or plan. ZERO game awareness

Yet Shaheen routinely gets outperformed by the rest of the pacers regularly nowadays. You lot can point out the weaknesses of other bowlers, without over-rating Shaheen. Sadly, he is getting hyped to the moon and gets outperformed time and again by the same lot that we criticize for not being like Shaheen.

He played a huge role in winning the 1st match otherwise we would have been chasing 300+

He needs to to be backed hes obviously better with the new ball than the older ball i would take husnain over rauf in odis
 
Possibly the greatest spell in T20 history. The mighty Zimbabweans had no answers for the Ace of Pace.
 
Good to see him comeback and bowl better today after an ordinary first over. Definitely better than Naseem Shah

That is enough for now. Anyone Pakistani fans expecting greatness from the mediocre trio of Hassnain, Naseem and Rauf is setting himself up for disappointment.

None of them are good enough.
 
Still, Sami remained the same throughout his career. He never had the capacity to increase his bowling IQ. I mean Hasnain is still on the younger side. Less talented than Sami BUT if he's really worth something he'll pick up on the bowling IQ part if he gets the proper guidance- unfortunately for Hasnain we have hit an all time low when it comes to coaching.
Same with Naseem.
Both Naseem and Hasnain look like fish out of water everytime they play a game. It's like they haven't learnt anything from the coaching staff or experiences.
Bowlers like Amir and Shaheen picked up international cricket very quickly. The same cannot be said for Hasnain and Naseem. Raw talent alone won't cut it in international cricket.

Well the Amir comparison is unfair. I don't think any young fast bowler has picked up the game as quickly as Amir. Within a year in the side he was leading the pace attack in LOIs and looked like he had the experience of 10 years of cricket. Interestingly enough Waqar was coach at that time..hmmm:inti
 
I thought he bowled well today.

Started not so well but pulled it back to 26 runs in 4 overs and broke an important partnership.

Still learning and developing.

Maybe they are not expecting greatness? Or do you judge all Pakistani players with Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram as benchmarks?

Only time can tell with Hasnain. The worst thing would be to drop him. Shaheen has pretty much established himself as the head of the pace attack but he needs a dancing partner with the new ball and it's a prime opportunity for Hasnain to be that. But he NEEDS to show signs of improvement. If he continues to perform like a rookie he'll be out of the team in no time.

Him and Rauf have been developing well. I think some arm chair experts want Dale Steyns and Curtly Ambrose’s to emerge from match 1 in their careers
 
Husnain should be introduced to the test squad from now on. I feel he could do well, with more slips etc.
 
Hasnain has definitely improved and is bowling better than when he first burst on to the scene. First he was fast and gun barrel straight but now he bowls out swing with the new ball and at the death he has been bowling yorkers, bouncers, following the batsman and even when batsman gives himself space he has bowled short and wide, out of reach of the batsman. These are very encouraging signs.

At least he bowls it and learnt it. His next step it getting it in the right are. Just like usman qadir can bowls all the varieties but can't get it in the right place consistently. First class cricket is a MUST for these guys to go to the next level
 
I think he needs 2 years of playing qea , hasan ali played all of qea trophy for his comeback and you could see how it benefited him especially in rawalpindi test.

The thing is, in an ideal world the T20 XI would only carry a maximum of one "learn on the job" bowlers. Pakistan has Hasnain, Rauf, even Shaheen to an extent
 
He is doing fine but these young kids(Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Haider Ali) should be developed in longer format of the game. They are too much focused on shortest version
 
Losing hope for Hasnain.

Trouble is, players start with promise - but do not develop themselves in long format of the game over a long period of time, day in and day out, honing their craft.

He has to do two years of solid bowling in domestics to learn to do things with the ball. Or it will be another wasted talent story.
 
Moin Khan had a go at him at an interview saying he has been playing for a while now for Pakistan, in the PSL and still he has not been able to develop and even commented he needed to improve his attitude.

Shockingly poor interview by a coach who was throwing his players under the bus to save his own behind
 
Not good enough for international level at this moment. People get excited way too quickly when a bowler bowls 140+. They think anyone who bowls 140+ will trouble the top batsmen around the world. I’d rather have a bowler who bowls 130 and doesn’t get smashed to pieces.

Hasnain will bowl 1-2 good balls in every 20 balls, that seems to be good enough for some people here, but not for me.

Pakistan have plenty of solid 130ish bowlers. Mir Humza, Sameen Gul, Waqas Maqsood are a few. All are arguably better, yet are much further from national selection than Hasnain is.

Someone, somewhere decided that bowling 140+ was neccesary to play for Pakistan. That's why we've had Hasnain, Rauf and Musa get opportunities and it hasn't really worked.
 
Be patient. He is a talented kid. Please don't sideline him just because of his PSL performance. Let him grow, some people take longer to get things right. He has the key ingredient: pace. He can also swing a bit. He needs to work on control, setting up a batsman etc. which will come with experience and being in an international bowling setup. T20s are not a place to evaluate a bowler. I see Hasnain, Haris Rauf and Dahani shaping up to be good bowlers across all formats and support Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali. You've got to have faith in your young ones.
 
Hasnain, Naseem, Rauf and Musa have been exposed mercilessly in International cricket and now in PSL also. Two years ago, they were hyped as saviors of Pakistan bowling.

Now, the latest bowlers to join hype bandwagen are Dahani , Akif, M. Wasim and Arshad iqbal. Lets see how they go.
 
Bowlers economy rates after 10 overs in 1st T20I against England:

Hasnain - 5.5
Shaheen - 10.5
Imad - 12.33
Shadab - 16
Haris - 19
 
He's been the pick of the bowlers today, to concede 7 per over off four overs on this pitch at Trent Bridge is a very good effort.

Bowled really well today. I don't know why PCB does not invest in him? He has been around with the team but is usually on the fringes.
 
Best bowler on show today from either team.

Bowled with his brain and with great skill.
 
Brings a different dimension to the bowling by getting it to swing the other way that Haris, Shaheen and Hasan get it go. Is express pace, but just needs slightly more control before tuning up to his full potential pace-wise.

Exciting prospect!
 
Needs to improve his death bowling but otherwise the second best LOI bowler for Pakistan IMO. Top prospect
 
Seemed to me he wasn't bowling that quickly today. 86-88 mph. Maybe I missed something?

Still an excellent performance mind you.
