[VIDEOS/PICTURES] Mohammad Haris - International Performance Watch

Yes the guy isnt perfect but hes doing his job, we need someone who can go through the gears and play fearless cricket. Thats what he does, enjoy him for player he is. Yes he will get even better with time.
 
I feel he'll be best utilized opening the batting in the powerplay. He seems to go for lofted shots from ball one and a lot of partial miscues will find their way to the boundary in that phase of the innings while he may not be so successful later on.

The most important thing is to let him play the way he wants. No responsibility to hold one end or to carry the team through. Just let him go all out and we should be happy with a quickfire 25-30.

We could had lost last three games if it wasnt for him. X factor player
 
The shots he plays are the ones which are generally on within his scope of play as he has the ability to play them (he obviously plays them in nets as well) but, the execution part which is lacking a bit on occasions in match will improve with experience.

Temperament, hardwork, fitness, effort and fearless attitude is all there. At 21 years of age playing few game changing knocks at such a stage is commendable. Just needs to keep growth trajectory in check.

I think 2nd or 3rd time he got us out of a bad situation.

Miles better than Khushdil though. :ssa2
 
The 2 breath-taking shots that sealed the game. Hayden's reaction at the end said it all.

Babar's SR - 126.19 Intent - 70%
Rizwan's SR - 132.55 Intent - 80%
Haris' SR - 115.38 Intent - 100%

Haris needs to practice more against spin, or perhaps be shuffled to number 6 or played as an opener (after T20WC). Poor strike rate despite having intent is the practical definition of slogging. We need a player or two in the upper middle order who can dispatch deliveries in their zone, while nudging those that aren't for ones and twos, maintaining a 130+ SR.

He was playing according to the situation. Move him to number 6??? Are you feeling ok?
 
Certaintly made significant difference in the 3 games he has played. Showing the template and mindset to play T20 cricket!

I think you accidentally watched the previous match. We were comfortably set and he was missing paddle and reverse sweeps. A number 6 in t20s is not strictly a number 6, but one who comes in the last 3-4 overs.
 
7X6 in 60 balls at international cricket.

The bowlers include:

Gleason
Rabada
Nortje
Taskin
Ebadot
Furgueson

Finally a Pakistani six hitter against pace!

He is an opener/top order batsman. He shouldn’t be coming in at number 6.
You want same thing happen to him as did with a Haider Ali.
It’s quite obvious you’re contradicting what you want from him, he missed a couple of sweeps because he wasn’t used to the pitch.
Totally different to what he played the other day, first time he played on this pitch at this ground. He’s never been before to Australia.
He played brilliantly to the situation. Yes there was couple misses but he is a class player in the making. He hit the big strokes at the crunch moment. He doesn’t need changing.
 
He's given a free role and that's working for him. Credit to Babar and Rizwan today for laying the platform.

Haris is a good find but the real challenge will be if he'll develop himself once the opposition finds out his areas of weakness. That will be the real test. But so far, so good.
 
After this world cup he needs to be handled very carefully.

Otherwise i bet we'll be calling him a 'useless hack' within 6 months to 1 year tops.

Mohammad Haris needs to benefit from the lessons we learned by completely mishandling Haider Ali.

Most Pakitani batsmen struggle against short pitched deliveries, but he has taken on the bowlers. One thing he can work on is to finish off the games, but for time being he is pardoned because his quick runs have been vital.

Bookmarked the statement in bold for future reference. I've only suggested what should be done in the future in low-impact matches, not now. You obviously don't fix a thing that isn't broken. You also conveniently missed that I also suggested him to be tried as an opener.

He is premeditating too much. Got away with a couple of top edges today. Its fine for now because he's not burdened with the responsibility of a senior batsman but going forward he'll need to learn quickly. A bright spark and hopefully will be groomed well too to have a long playing career.

Easily the most ridiculous post on PP today. He was playing at a decent strike rate and we didn’t need more than that to win on a tricky pitch against a decent attack.

Moving him to 6 would be suicidal.
 
It's amazing how fearless and uninhibited this kid is. To walk into a World Cup and play this way despite being so young and inexperienced is truly remarkable. Especially because he is a young Pakistani batter and the recent line of young Pakistani batters have left alot to be desired.
 
He is having the tournament that Fakhar had in CT17. One more game lad, just one more game.
 
Can’t believe we have Khushdil Shah such a long rope when we had a much more talented player in the wings.

Per that analogy, his best innings yet is to come in the final! Hopefully that happens InshaAllah
 
When we last won the T20 world cup we had Afridi coming in at 3 or 4. So Haris can provide the same positive intent.

No im not comparing the two players. However you need a game changer in your top 4 in LOI cricket.
 
All the best to my boy Harris - he is the reason I watched some of the recent games of Of Pakistan after losing interest. A quick 40 with 150+ SR needed at MCG and his job is done. He might be in to bat sooner again there during PP. Go Harris. Go Pakistan.
 
Has shades of Imran Nazir in his bat speed and timing. Hopefully he will continue to get better.

Unlike hormonal fan boys who are considering him the next holy spirit of cricket, I am displaying cautious optimism because of our experience with Haider and Umar. I am not criticizing him, just giving an opinion on how he can be utilized if he fails in the future.

For reference, he came to bat with Pakistan at 105/1 after 12.4 overs. If you still think he played according to situation (as cricinfo does too), then we differ in principle and can agree to disagree. I have only included narrow misses and slogs here. Pay particular attention to the 19th over, which he set up beautifully himself and then threw his wicket:

43 from 41 needed, Rizwan on the other end

13.2 Sodhi to Mohammad Haris, no run
Low full-toss from Sodhi, Haris shapes for the reverse-sweep and is hit on the pad, perhaps outside the line of off stump. Williamson calls for a review of the on-field not-out decision. Ultra Edge confirms that there was no bat involved. Yes, impact outside the line of off. Haris was also back in the safety of his crease by the time Conway flipped the bails off

40 from 36 needed, Rizwan on the other end

14.1 Santner to Mohammad Haris, 2 runs
Tossed up on middle, Haris collapses his back knee, manufactures some swinging room and hoists the ball away to the left of wide long-off. Well played

14.2 Santner to Mohammad Haris, 1 run
Slower through the air and outside off, drags a sweep against the turn to long-on. Good comeback from Santner

14.6 Santner to Mohammad Haris, 1 run
Tossed up and outside off, Haris aims a sweep and top-edges it away from the reach of Conway

31 from 30 needed, Rizwan on the other end

15.1 Southee to Mohammad Haris, no run
Short and wide of off, thrashed off the back foot to point. Cut in the air and Santner drops it. He was late to react to it and hence spills it. Uncharacteristic drop from Santner

24 from 23 needed, Rizwan on the other end

16.2 Boult to Mohammad Haris, no run
Slower bouncer, angling across off, Haris swishes and is beaten by the change of pace

16.3 Boult to Mohammad Haris, 1 leg bye
Haris shuffles across off even before Boult delivers the ball. Haris swings for the hills and might have edged it onto his pad... or not. NZ have lost their reviews

19 from 17 needed, Masood on the other end

17.1 Ferguson to Mohammad Haris, 1 bye
Slower ball outside off, grips and floats away outside after beating the outside edge. Conway fumbles and they hare across for a bye

17.3 Ferguson to Mohammad Haris, no run
On-pace length ball, angling in, Haris slogs, loses his shape and ekes out an inside edge back to Conway

8 from 12 needed, Masood on the other end

18.1 Santner to Mohammad Haris, no run
Looped up and turns away outside off, Haris sweeps and misses

18.2 Santner to Mohammad Haris, 1 run
Dropped by Sodhi this time at short third. He stretches out, dives forward, and shells it. Haris goes for the reverse-sweep and miscues it

18.4 Santner to Mohammad Haris, 1 run
Short and Santner hides it away from the swinging arc of Haris. Forced away to sweeper cover

18.6 Santner to Mohammad Haris, OUT
Caught at short fine leg. Finn Allen makes no mistake. Haris jumps across off stump even before Santner delivers. The left-arm fingerspinner adjusts and darts it shorter to hit the top edge. End of a fine innings from Haris

That shot to covers on Ferguson’s outside leg stump attempted yorker was exceptional.
 
The guy can't play spin to hit big. He has no clue.

He has very strong wrists and can potentially be very good for big hitting against pacers. Has great hand eye coordination and plays fearlessly. This is awesome!

He needs A LOT of work to be able to hit big against spin.

All the best to him!
 
He needs to play FC in order to develop his game.At the moment he has license to hit and has done his job better than I expected. Going forward it won't work unless he has solid foundations and those will come through batter longer in FC
 
This guy is fearless. Reminds me of that burly guy Jamshed who would throw kitchen sink from the get go.

Wasn’t easy to hit spin on this wicket, and Santner was bowling really well.

Still need to see him proper against spinners to make an opinion.

He is not clueless. He is okay. Workable. `But over a period shot selection will become more and more critical. In events like world T20, it is always better to play with 3 or 4 noobs. Before they identify your weakness you will have done that damage. So far his selection is a master stroke. I don't think Fakhar could have done this.
 
definition of impact runs, his two shots off of lockie deflated nz and killed off the game. he hasn't got a technique against spin but it doesn't matter for now. just needs to focus on one game at a time.

Looks very weak against spin, but really strong against pace and the bouncer which is a huge positive.

Needs to work on his game against spin and he will be a force.

Needs to play 2 proper FC seasons to get that right and I hope he keeps his fearless attitude.

I watched him in the u19s World cup and he looked good in against the spinners.

That shot through the covers, past midoff, was unreal. I didn't expect that from him, never in a million years. And that too, to a ball pitching at yorker length, on leg stump no less. Let's not forget it was Lockie bowling. One of the shots of the tournament!

I said he will need to learn how to play on the offside or he will be found out, and what a way to show that he indeed can. Still needs to keep working hard but he can be really good limited overs player.
Click to expand...

He can play offside but like most batters he prefers the leg side.
 
I have watched him since u19s World cup and one thing that stands out is that he can play the pull shot and he can play the ramp shot.I also seen him bat against the spinners in the u19s World cup and he looked very good.The four throw the covers was exceptional he's a small guy but hits the ball hard.
 
I love the guys attitude.
He shows intent at the crease and is unsettling for the opposition bowlers...
 
Game-breaking talent.

You always need 1-2 batsmen like this in the team.

He does look sus vs spin. Hoping to be proved wrong. Played well otherwise.
 
Looks like he's got a fan in Nasser Hussain;

"Pakistan have found a little gem here in the form of 21-year-old Mohammad Haris. Once Fakhar Zaman was injured & out the squad, they needed someone a bit more explosive after the openers & Haris has been just that man in the last couple of games"

Hhh joke of the century
 
England did their homework on him after seeing his hitting areas.

They gave him nothing with some very smart bowling.

Hopefully he will learn from today in that you cannot come in every day and on every pitch and smash the bowling from ball one.
 
You can’t fault his intent. This kid is always playing for the team like Suryakumar, he has no interest in stats padding.

At no point today did he show any slight interest in getting a personal milestone in the World Cup final.

He was undone by nerves and also the variations of English bowlers. He wasn’t picking them.

People don’t give England enough credit with the ball. They are by far the smartest team.

They may lack pace without Wood but they bowl with such guile and use so many variations. Every ball comes to the bat at a difference pace and different length.

It is not easy to score runs against them. Pakistan top-order is made up of timid and selfish players like Babar, Rizwan and Masood. His presence is absolutely vital.

He is the reason why those timid players have picked up a free World Cup runners up medal
 
I don't think swinging wildly and being nowhere near the ball on a huge ground was smart at all. It totally dented Pakistan's innings when quick single and doubles were needed to consolidate.

His domestic record is pretty average.

I don't think he will go a long way. Today's innings was awful. Don't have the capacity to judge game situation.

I mean i called it even before the ball was bowled. It was so obvious Rashid was going to get him. I still think it's crazy he didn't even give himself a single sighter before trying to smash the ball over the huge boundaries.

It seems Pakistan is stuck in the middle. We have batsmen who don't try enough risky shots and then those who try way too many. Nobody in the XI has that balance right now.
 
He will follow the normal trajectory of a normal Pakistan batter.

. Play for 2 years wildly with no consistency but 2 3 flashy strokes every 3rd innings or so. People will say he's young, give him benefit of the doubt.

. Won't see an iota of improvement and frustration will build. Different batting orders will be experimented.

. Still won't see any improvement and will be dropped from the team.
 
Why are Pakistan producing so many of these gully mohalla batters? His technique makes Asif Ali look like Ricky Ponting.
 
England were bowling slower deliveries against him. It was effective.

It seems like he has difficulty against slower deliveries. He is a strong leg-side player; not so much off-side.

Agreed. He is so raw.

Should we just send him to domestics and ignore him for national selection for a couple of years, save for Zimbabwe and other meaningless tours?
 
A solid technique is always better. Look at Shan, adapted himself well because he had a good base.

Same will be with Huraira.

If they don't have a good technique, hit the ball with one leg in the air and slash at the ball like a no 11 tailender then do not send him at no.3 :91:

His innings cost us a powerplay over and lost us the match.
 
He needs to also develop his game against spinners. Looked clueless against NZ spinners too
 
Was batting with captain but Alas Captain never made him comfortable and was pushed o hit every ball
 
He was a symptom of what seems to have been a flawed strategy by Pakistan to come out and blast sixers.

MCG is not the ground to play that way. You can pick up 2's easily and then a single boundary makes it a big (12-14 run) over. You can do this almost risk free.

Had Haider and the team in the last 4 overs tried a bit more of that and a bit less trying to blast every ball for six at the MCG then they would have formed a total more like 160-165 and been able to use some scoreboard pressure.

Haider looked a bit tense and as i said, I think played with a flawed strategy. But no need to put him on the scrapheap yet, he'll learn from it if he's any good.

English players even if they are merciless hitters also have something very important i.e. a brain, match awareness, they don't always go all guns blazing, if they see that a wicket is tough to bat on, they bat responsibily and see out the tough spells i.e. what Stokes did today against Rauf, Naseem and Shadab.

The sooner Haris learns this the better. He played and missed against the short pitched deliveries where he could not cope with the bounce but then he played an intelligent ramp shot which was safe because there was no fielder at fine leg. Game Awareness i.e. picking the gaps in the field and playing shots accordingly is ultimately down to the players, the coaches cant spoon feed you 24/7 on it.
 
It's surprising to see fans criticizing Harris who is still very new. He played total 5 T20Is only and out of these 4 he played in this WC. Yes, he lacks big match experience and game awareness, but you have to develop him as player by giving him more opportunities. He should have got reasonable opportunities in more favorable conditions Asia Cup, 720Is at home against Eng and in NZ tri series. Many Pakistan batsman with more than 70 T20Is are not willing to come out from their comfort zone and we are expecting Harris to do miracles
 
I don't what's wrong with Pakistani posters here Why the Hell they Criticizing?? Mohammad Haris and Iftikhar chahu was best Pakistani Batsman in this tournament ,Rest All were Crumbling seeing bounc,Swing,Swing, pace like had no clue at all And here posters call them King Don't criticize but will target Hairs and Chachu
 
From a limited sample, it seems like he enjoys pave on the ball and strikes with intent . That's a positive for Pakistan.

Looks like a headless chicken against off-pace variations and against spin.
 
Haris needs to smartly pick the bowlers he wants to attack. Going all out on the first ball against Adil Rashid who was the best spinner of the tournament by country mile was silly.

I hope he learns. He also needs to play plenty of domestic and learn the art of building an innings.
