If England tonks him, Pakistan will use this kid as a scapegoat for shadab.
What trend?
The friendship group.
This has been a common practice in Pakistan team culture. Debutants & young players returning after a long time or injury are directly introduced on tough away tours instead of home series or in important home series without match practice.
Fawad alam was a good player and would have been key to pakistan odi during the misbah dark days.
NexusHow can you drop this guy for no reason.
@mominsaigol hanji .it has started, soon abrar bubble will also burst .
I didn't hype abrar up lol, and I only hyped Agha up to troll you for the rizwan ping troll you pulled on me
.
How can you drop this guy for no reason.
Hahah thats why india won the series 4-1 .lol
So that no one can replace Shadab Khan
Averages 36.92 after his debut Test.
Eng tour of India 2024
Yeap. Exactly. Just 1 bad game is nothing to judge him. He is still out best spinner.
I wouldn't say best, more like Only Spinner, unless you count Noman chacha who's more or less done now
Noman ali is past now. I see no other guy in domestic who can replace him. No chance.
He's not that past lol. He can play for 2 to 3 more years in test only.
It’s called settling for mediocracy we’ve settled for usman Ifty asif Azam shadab Kushdil Talat, add Abra Murali to the list.
He believed in qudrat ka nizaam without work
Well it's the level pakistan is at now, We don't have saeed ajmal, Hafeez and afridi as our spin trio anymore. Nor do we have yasir Shah who for a period of time was excellent in test
Abrar will never improve. He has been in circuit for over 4 years and he is yet to show any signs of improvement. He can only spin the ball at very slow pace which will never trouble international batters. His google is too slow too. He has not improved the pace of his googly at all. His faster deliveries do not have enough revs for the ball to turn.Its time to move on from him especially for test cricket. Guys like kashif bhatti deserve a chance. He travelled with Pakistan team and was dropped without playing a game. Moreover, age is never a factor for spinner. They can easily play till late 30s.
He does not beat the batsman in the air. He bowls straight like Kumble but much slower.
Even Haris Rauf and Babar Azam are laughing how he grabbed that catch. lol
I already said . He is a nothing bowler and soon will he exposed.
Soon he'll turn into murli and Warne
He's slow as molasses
Excellent analysis— let’s write off someone who has played six test matches and 18 first class matches in total.
This is just silly. We don’t have any wrist spinners and it takes a long time to develop a leg spinner. Abrar is awful but you have to see something in a player to select him and once selected they need a few chances. He will learn from this or we can be polishing off other wrist spinners. Abrar is no worse than Usama, qadir, shadab etc. But you def need 3 or 4 leg spin bowlers that are competing and in different formats. Even warne competed with McGill until he just overshot him in the late 90’s.
Bit premature at this stage to say this but yes he’s looking totally clueless against top class batsmen on a flat wicket. Needs to learn and learn fast.
When you prepare pitches like these, modern day batters will smack the hell out of shoaib akhtar and Wasim Akram too. He has a poor control but inexperience, pitch and captaincy too also blame
Pitch is definitely not helping any bowler, but even then his skillset is lacking
Look at the domestic competition. Yasir is not exactly getting a bucket load of wickets to command selection
That's pretty much every PK spinner atm
Then simple don’t select them at all unless they learn how to turn the ball.
Agree. Don't pick darters, pick the biggest spinners. You can learn to control the lengths and lines with bloody mindedness and hard work but you can't be taught to spin the ball like Shane Warne. It's a joke that people are still talking about bawa Naumi as the next cab off the rank. That's why U Qadir needed lots of guidance and FC cricket because he didn't realise his own talent
Exactly this , Usman Qadir might have gone for 7 in an over but pretty sure he would have picked 3/4 wickets today. His sharp speed and big turn is 10X better than any other spinner in our domestic cricket.
He is also rubbish.
