[VIDEOS] Nauman Anwar - Performance Watch

What more it will take to drop him :facepalm: Guy has failed in every game Jeez. Get him out of sight already
 
Come to the issues behind this output rather than paving way for
" All roads lead towards Shahzaib Hassan "
:-)

There are none to discuss except Nauman is horribly out of form but still finds his way in the playing XI.

He isn't good as people here claim. He isn't bad as shown in PSL. No matter how good you are, how great hand-eye co-ordination you posses, buying a run would be the most difficult thing when you are out of form.
 
Extremely poor.

Turned out to be another Rafatullah Mohmand, though Raffat had immense T20 experience and looked class in the domestic T20 tournament.

Nauman too has too many flaws to succeed at top level.
 
He has opened his stance more and his head falls to the off-side instead of staying in line with the middle-stump. This renders him useless outside the off-stump and why he heaves everything to the leg-side.

Today's delivery should have been driven down the ground with a straight bat but since the toe of his front-foot is pointing towards silly mid-off, and his head falling, the only option for him is to go for a cross-batted slog.

Now who is responsible for this? He is a talented stroke-maker but is evolving into a Nazir not a Hafeez.

Dont you think his batting stance has changed fairly compared to what it was last year. Tbh doesnt look like same batsman?

Yes, that is what I'm saying. His stance has opened up and his head is falling. He is technically highly deficient at this point.

Today's dismissal was truly ugly.

I have seen him bat in t20 cup. Watching him in PSL was terrible, Looked like a tail ender. Who genius could be possible be blamed for his regression as a batsman? From being a classy batsman to looking like a rubbish tailender.
 
He's only 20. Needs to go back to his previous club coaches and fix the technical issues.

And the idiot who's ruined his technique deserves a chitrol.
 
Classic Pakistani trait to blame the coaches, selectors, chukidaar ki beti for your lack of batting prowess..


Just a tailender batsmen who made a mark for himself by hitting domestic trundlers but now can't even put bat to ball when faced with a higher quality of opposition.

When on form: future ATG

When they flop: Always someone else's fault :facepalm:

Dude this seems genuine lack of quality coaching issue. See his batting technique and stance in Domeatic T20 cuo and now in PSL. Clearly looks like a different batsman.
 
[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] Carefully compared his current technique to his previous one. He's opened his stance and doesn't plant the front foot anymore making him less of an LBW candidate but consequently it's resulted in a number of problems.

Firstly, the feet aren't equally aligned anymore meaning the stance isn't a balanced one, though they're pointing in the same direction, the front foot is behind the other which then steps forward slightly to align somewhat equally to the backfoot but there's no consistency, sometimes he oversteps, sometimes he under-steps, other times it moves while the ball is being delivered and in some cases it doesn't move at all which leaves him crease bound. There is no transfer of weight forward into the front leg thus no power in his shots because he has no base to launch from. The front leg is static and all the power is being generated from the bat swing.

This was implemented as an alternative to his previous frontfoot trigger movement and it is quite obvious he does not feel comfortable with it. Artificial triggers can ruin a player's batsmanship completely if they're not thought out carefully and it is imperative the batsman feels comfortable with it.

The opened, crease-bound stance makes it difficult to play front foot drives with a straight bat which is why we've seen him swiping at every ball. There is simply no alignment. His body is pointing somewhere else and the bat elsewhere. With the weight not being transferred forward, he has to wait for the ball to arrive(whereas previously he could meet the ball on the bounce). This makes him a prime candidate for being yorked.

He still takes middle guard which means the head is still outside off and he feels comfortable judging the off-stump from there. But he now has difficulty judging where his legs are because of the inconsistent trigger movement which results in the head falling forward so he's reaching for balls which his body isn't fully aligned to play thus completely relying on hand-eye.

His previous trigger movement was simple and a natural one, with his frontfoot pre-planted and weight transferred forward, anything pitched up he was already in place to drive forward and if pitched short he'd push off the front leg to move backwards into the crease and pull.

He took middle guard and his frontfoot trigger movement aligned the front leg with the offstump. It didn't make him as much of an LBW candidate as the coaches might have thought. He was extremely comfortable against over the wicket right handed bowlers off his legs and felt at ease(perfectly aligned) driving any ball outside off down the ground or in the covers. The only possibility of him becoming a LBW candidate was to lefties bowling over the wicket bringing the ball back in.

To counter that, simply take leg guard so the frontfoot trigger would align his frontfoot with middle stump therefore leaving one and a half stump to protect.

If the bowler is swinging it miles, open the stance slightly(while keeping the feet aligned and trigger movement the same), off drive becomes your on-drive and cover-drive your off-drive and the on-drive becomes a drive towards cow corner. This is an in-game adjustment and not necessary if the batsman feels comfortable playing off his legs.

Another technical adjustment he might've had to make over time was to get a more upright stance but that's another discussion and it would depend on whether he felt comfortable.

POTW stuff for such a great Technical inside of the game.

I nominate it for POTW.

All readers must read it carefully and also watch 3 min and 3 min 30 seconds videos of Nauman Anwar's innings of 80 & 97 in Cool & Cool Haeir Super eight T20 tournament May 2015. Than compare it with his current batting stance , bat flow and his overall technique and read this post of [MENTION=139353]ChachaCricket[/MENTION] how he has penpictured the technical insight of all the down fall.

We need such people in Pakistan Cricket setup who can diagnose & analyse the technical problems of a players game. If this person is a Coach than he can also tell Nauman Anwar to do which drills in net to regain his old technique & stance and how to get rid of his current technical issues out of his system which have been rendered due to terrible guidance or coaching by someone who tried to make him more efficient and rather deterioted him.

I still cant believe people are judging him without watching him bat before and are mentioning it as issue with fans and player but not the pathetic coaches who have clearly made a Classy Natural Batsman turn into TailEnder.
 
Im guessing if he plays FC from HBL, It could Younis Khan who could've advised him as he bends down and has this sort of stance some times
 
I still cant believe people are judging him without watching him bat before and are mentioning it as issue with fans and player but not the pathetic coaches who have clearly made a Classy Natural Batsman turn into TailEnder.

As a 19 years old playing debut T20 tournament he scored 270 runs in 5 games averaging 50 plus at a SR of 170. He scored 80 in final and 97 in final where he showed his beat performances in the most pressure semifinal and final games.

Not only that but he impressed all with his timing , placement & game awareness. And unlike Awais Zia , Sharjeel , Khalid , Khurram , Shahzaib he was proficient both of the front foot aswell as back foot and could play all the shots in the book on both sides of the wicket not just favour offside or legside which is quality of a versatile & dynamic players. He could not be termed hack or slogger because he played shots on the merit of the deliveries and like class players he could pick up the length of bowlers a tad earlier than others.

Don't know whether we would ever see that Nauman Anwar or not ¿

Don't know that it would take how many days , weeks , months or years to revive previous Nauman Anwar and whether this revival is possible or not ¿

Younis plays for UBL. When he used to play for HBL than HBL did not have Nauman in their squad.
 
Nauman Anwar has seriously regressed from that freakish t20 tournament he had, didn't look a slogger at all then.
Now, it looks as if all he can do is hit a half-volley over midwicket.
 
needs to go back to domestic and work really hard.not impressed and i can't see him even in the A squad in at least for a couple of yrs.

I think he has lost it and is a gone case. Looks completely different player while batting thanks to coaches.
 
Nauman needs to take guide from Hafeez about Balance and Stroke Play. Hafeez has perfect balance while playing his shots. Should also look up videos of his previous batting stance which was elegant and effecient.
 
If all this is true, then it's very very sad tbh.

Painful. A promising young batsman ruined through poor coaching (IF true). Don't know what to believe atm, but sad state of affairs as far as our opening conundrums go.

How are you certain that coaches altered his technique? He could have done himself by self analyzing?

We have already seen his regression by playing domestic.

So what shall he do now? Is there any other platform where he can show his improvement?

Whatever the reasons, he is a different player now as compared to the last tournament we saw him in. I hope by some miracle he reverts back to his old technique and stance although it would be difficult now. IF any coach has done this to him, that coach should be sacked.

Now I agree. There's no certainty who made changes to his stance but still coaches are being blamed. Your IF solves everything.

I just hope this PSL doesnt have too bad an impact on his future. After watching him play before I thought he could be our ODI opener as well in the future

I'm not sure where he'll go from here. If he can find a learned coach to work on his technical issues, then expect him to improve and regain his strokeplay. One thing's for sure, he can't regress anymore.
 
How are you certain that coaches altered his technique? He could have done himself by self analyzing?



So what shall he do now? Is there any other platform where he can show his improvement?

As explained it seems like someone wanted to negate him being LBW candidate so its almost 90-95% chance its due to a coach, The way he bats it just tells the story. You cant have such huge impacts yourself only a few.

So from certainty now it's 90%-95%. No one is sure who made the changes.

Bro who is this Zahir Khan ?

Seems like soon he will be in Afghanistan Team.

What's his bowling style ?

Bro who is this Zahir Khan ?

What's his bowling style ?

He has been doing well in domestic and in under19 matches, in most matches he has been taking a lot of wickets. I think he will represent Afghanistan nationally in the near future.

I haven't seen him bowl so I can't comment on his bowling style.
 
[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] Zahir Khan is a left arm chinaman, just 17 years old has represented Afg in U-19 and also senior team in Intercontinental Cup. Along with Rashid Khan , another 17 year old, these guys are gonna don the mantle of best spinners in Asia in the next decade( hopefully)
 
Usman Khan Shinwari playing a match after a long time.

Wicket looks terribly flat. 507 runs in 93 overs by HBL :D

Surprised by Imam's move to HBL. He was settled in KRL and HBL have Fakhar Zaman and Nauman Anwar as openers already.

Hard for a chinaman to go and be successful at the intl level without proper guidance, which you can't expect from an underdeveloped cricketing country.

Brad Hogg and the West Indian guy who was the pioneer of chinaman are the only 2 known successful ones, because both had the guidance through solid domestic system.
 
He's lost his PSL place for Karachi kings. Where now for nauman? I had very high hopes for him.
 
One innings wonder this kid.

Rightfully dropped he has not performed at all since that one fluke T20 tournament.
 
Some on PP even tell change in bowling action or bowling speeds just by looking at scorecard. :srini

:therock

Not one of those.

Anyway, Nauman made 76 off 70 while the other top order batsmen: Salman Butt 11 (22), Kamran Akmal 21 (42), Aamer Sajjad 9 (16).

So going by the scorecard, it seems to be a good knock.

But for all we know, he might have swung his bat at a few and pulled it off. :afridi
 
After change in technique and stance he never appealed me. Before that he was an excellent prospect with allround classical shots and ability to pick the length earlier than most batsman.
 
Where has Nauman Disappeared?
Not in PSL or Pakistan Cup.
Nauman Anwar and Mukhtar Ahmed were suppose to be next high flying Pakistani Openers.
He would do a much better Job than Hafeez/Shehzad/Azhar
 
Not exactly sure. He will probably play in the National T20 Cup in August/September.
 
Pretty good knock by Nauman yesterday.

Can become a good finisher in ODI's. Has the range of strokes none of our finishers do.
 
any chance for him is PSL3,HE was very good timer of the ball but his form dipped for unknown reasons.
 
Where is Nauman Anwar?

The kid looked very promising and played some mind blowing shots. He was naturally very aggressive and looked the part. I know that he suffered a massive loss of form and confidence, but these days I hardly ever see him in domestic cricket. I think he was unfairly dropped from the national team too. He should have been developed with the squad.
 
under LQ qalandra i believe .was playing t20 cup but was inconsistent...showing some signs of old Nauman anwar.SOme stupid loacal coach would have taught him to work on defence etc.....

Nauman Anwar scored 152 of 111 balls but his team still wasn't able to win while chasing.
 
Nauman Anwar scored 152 of 111 balls but his team still wasn't able to win while chasing.

His first List A century would you believe. He needs to give himself time to score. He's the kind of batsman who once set can win matches single-handedly. Just needs to give himself that chance.
 
Finally Anwar is back in the limelight. He's a solid opening batsman that can work well with Fakhar opening.
 
Let’s see how consistently he performs this season. Only than He will be in reckoning. He has had very poor PSL seasons post technique change and now he has altered his technique again.

Poor coaching destroyed his two years.
 
He needs to be back.

Looked so good with natural ability and elegance


We need to see conclusive evidence and for that we need footage of his recent batting. If he has rediscovered his technique and method than Yes he should make a comeback if he gets amongst Top 5 List A batsmen of this season. Otherwise he has to wait.
 
Nasir Nawaz is also amazing prospect.
