[VIDEOS] Mohammad Wasim Jr. - International Performance Watch

Abid Z said:
I don’t know about fans but I would say selection criteria ought to be transparent and consistent. There are certain instances where once in a generation bowler comes along and is fast tracked straight into the team with very little first class experience. Shoaib Akthar, MOHD Sami and M. Amir are prime example because of their prodigious talent. But still in all these cases history shows that these players underachieved given their immense talent but you could understand why they were selected.

Naseem shah is another but now on the other end of the scale where they are giving him brief introductions and long breaks. Husnain too and Rauf. I think selection there is just right. A little bit of intro to international cricket then time to retrain and back again. Sometimes this retraining takes place abroad but each time there is a definite improvement.

Wasim on the other hand has never been touted as a talent by anybody with a serious eye. Deluded fans are everywhere and we have more than our fair share. A few performances in Mickey Mouse cricket doesn’t a star make. In T20 bad balls can get you wickets but in odi or test there is no hiding place. He averaged 115 in the 2 tests hardly praiseworthy. But your eyes tell you he has nothing to offer. He could spend years in domestic or even in shield cricket but he just is nowhere near ready for even domestic cricket. Those fans you speak of are simply young kids who know nothing about the toil and trauma of the grind of learning in domestic cricket. It’s a necessary step which he just go through.

Wasim should play more List A cricket before playing ODI cricket. He looks a decent bowler for T20 cricket but he doesn't look ready to play the longer formats at the moment.
 
Ian Bishop during commentary in ICC ODI World Cup Match between Pakistan and New Zealand:

"These 3 games Mohammad Wasim has been a beacon. I really hope Pakistan stick with him for a number of years in his development and don't just cast him aside if he has one bad series from here on."
 
Ian Bishop is very kind but did outline that taking wickets is a process. All the bowlers have been horrible but he is the least bad today.

Wasim is a T20 bowler extending his 24 deliveries to 60. In that regard he’s got to be more consistent with his line and length. When he gets it right he’s good. He’s been bowling with a lot of heart but just needs more consistency. He should stop thinking he can blast batsmen out.
 
This WC has been the perfect storm for him to permanently replace Haris Rauf in the pace bowling trio.
 
Junior kept his best performance for the WC, while others like Rauf and Hasan kept their worst showing at this highest stage . Along with Abdullah , Wasim has been the only positive thing came out of the WC for Pakistan. Zaman's return to the form was another happy news for Pakistan fans .

Absolutely. Wasim is good. No doubt.

Why replace? Why not alongside. Pak need at least 6/7 fast bowlers to rotate and rest. Part of the problem of SSA and Nasim is they are overworked.
 
When the ball is older, he drops his bowling arm lower to try to develop more reverse swing. and thats one way how he gets the ball to reverse.

Mohammad Wasim Jr claims back-to-back wickets in the last over after being dispatched for 14 off the first three balls. His today's match figures are 10-74-2
 
Inconsistent action,will have some good days but can't be trusted to deliver under pressure. He isn't going to develop because of his action
 
Bring in Waseem for Faheem, move Aamir Jamal to Faheem's all-rounder role.

Job done :D

Pakistan needs proper bowlers and should aim to restrict Aussies under 300 runs. Time to give experienced blokes Hasan & Noman a chance.

My XI:

Imam
Abdullah
Shan
Babar
Rizwan
Saud
Jamal
Noman
Shaheen
Hasan
Khurram
 
Wasim Jr is getting ready to become an active participant in the tour but is his fitness up to the mark?

In the MCG test I think we should go with Wasim in place of the injured Khurram because he can generate reverse swing with the old ball and he is also handy with the bat.
 
It is strange that he was not included in the playing 11 for a 2-day practice game against Victoria. He should have been given some game time while Faheem is still playing after that poor show at Perth.
