[VIDEOS/PICTURES] Watch out for 147 KPH Under-19 fast-bowler Mohammad Amir Khan

[MenInG]

Chosen for the U19 World Cup and this is what Ijaz Ahmed had to say about him

“I suggest we move on from Naseem Shah and look for the next Naseem Shah; One of the players going with us to the World Cup, Amir Khan, he is also bowling at an average speed of 141 Kph and has bowled a couple of balls at 147 Kph; If Naseem was in the side, then Amir may not have got the chance to play”

 

[Saj]

He's been signed by Peshawar Zalmi for PSL5.

Sounds like an exciting prospect.

Please see post #1

 

[shah_1]

@Saj

Talent spotter please

 

[shah_1]

Saleem Jaffar was saying that Tahir Hussain also bowls above 140kph

 

[Boi]

Forget the pace. Most important question is how tall is he?

 

[shah_1]

Hopefully he isn't short like Musa Khan

 

[Manunited18]

Forget the pace. Most important question is how tall is he?

As long as he's 5 ft 10 or over then it shouldn't be a issue

 

[andy0204]

Forget the pace. Most important question is how tall is he?

You can say Junaids law of height.

 

[shah_1]

There has been a revolution of some sort in KPK of fast bowlers being unearthed from there. So many of them

Wonder what is the reason? Eariler it was all Punjab in 90s

 

[Sher Khan]

Please see post #1

Looks solid and capable of bowling 140 kph. Lets see how he goes in the u19 wc.

 

[Saj]

@Saj

Talent spotter please

Yes probably after the Under-19 World Cup.

 

[ataullah]

Maybe there are more facilities now. With High Performance Centres all over Pak well unearth greater talent

 

[Rana]

Please, a 155+ bowler.

 

[angrypathan]

Please, a 155+ bowler.

In U19s? No chance

 

[Manunited18]

In U19s? No chance

But, u19-147k, by the time hes 21 150+

 

[Greenstorm]

It is result of more emphasis by PCB on unearthing fast bowlers from KPK area. I believe they have conducted a few talent hunt programs there and as a result these players are emerging. PCB will miss Mudassar Nazar. Whenever he is working with NCA, we seem to churn out quality fast bowlers.

Swing, seam, control of length more imp than just speed. 140kph is ideal pace for hitting in international cricket. He and others with this pace should be nourished and taught about previously mentioned traits. Nowadays fielding and batting are also very important. May be in couple of years expose them to international cricket on home grounds if they fulfill all the requirements.

the thing is, you can't teach pace, you can teach the others though.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

We produced Naseem , Musa ,Rauf, Hasnain,Shaheen,Akif and Amir Khan , All capable of hitting 145+ and maintain an average pace over 140k in last 2 years that is like 3.5 real fast bowlers per year

 

[Mueez]

Our pace factory has revived.

 

[Bewal Express]

Let's actually see the lad before the hype starts. Height and action will determine whether he has a long term success

I was disappointed Zalmi went for Rahat ahead of Sameen but this kid looks like a better prospect than Sameen

 

[shamaan]

Has anyone got any vidoes of this bowler please

 

[Mirpur express]

Move on from Naseem Shah! ����*

 

[Titan24]

Let's see how many of them end up international standard let alone world class before we hype them up.

Having quite a few of them means there is a chance that one or two can come through. 2010 afterwards we literally had nothing till 2016-17.

Having prospects alteast gives a chance and its a big positive in itself.

Precisely.

Naseem Shah is the one specialist quick under 6’3 that Pakistan can afford to carry, just as Australia’s three preferred quicks are 6’6, 6’5 and 6’4.

If this guy is any shorter than 6’2, his only chance of having a Test career is if he is superior to Naseem Shah.

Naseem will be fine even without the height because of his powerful action. Although as we all know height is very important, action is the most important.

I saw an interview with Justin Langer this week, in which he was asked why James Pattinson is only a reserve.

He replied that he played against lots of excellent quick bowlers. But the reason why the West Indies were the hardest team to beat early in his career was that the best quicks are so tall that not only can they get you out, but you can’t actually score off them.

I was surprised, but he specifically contrasted the (old) West Indies and Pakistan. For the West Indies, the pressure was relentless because they were all tall except for Marshall. But with Pakistan, Wasim Akram was the only tall one.

We hear a lot about Wasim and Waqar, but this twenty second sound bite put everything into perspective..

No doubt tall bowlers make a huge difference, but you can only work with what you have. I agree with your general point about short bowlers but Naseem has a strong action and IA, if he stays fit and stays away from Ind bookies and losers in his own team, he will be fine. The bigger point is that we don't have enough tall bowlers of quality and you pick from the pool you have.

I've said this time and time again that height makes a HUGE difference when it comes to how successful a bowler is. For someone of Irfan's height, it's a shame his action was so wrong that he wasn't able to utilise it. Shaheen is another bowler who does not utilise his height with his action, he floats it up there and everytime you see the ball reach the keeper he has to take it by his knees. It's tape ball/machine ball stuff - just come on the front foot and play with a straight bat and the ball will fly off. However if you are able to hit the deck and get that ball to rise of a full length - good luck driving that! This is why the likes of cummins, hazlewood and rabada are so good. 140kph and you can't even drive their full balls.

 

[shamaan]

Has anyone got any vidoes of him bowling please

 

[Saj]

Well I am hearing that he Aamir is 5 foot 9".

 

[moghul]

Well I am hearing that he Aamir is 5 foot 9".

Same as Naseem Shah.

Let's hope he isn't an another Mohammad Amir.

No. Naseem Shah is 5 foot 10".

 

[Junaids]

Well I am hearing that he Aamir is 5 foot 9".

No. Naseem Shah is 5 foot 10".

Well, that’s that then.

Justin Langer made clear in the comments that I referenced that you can afford one supremely skilful bowler who isn’t a giant so long as all the others are, because the giants will dry up the scoring at the other end while the short guy probes away.

Pakistan has naturally tall men: Misbah and Waqar really need to start a campaign to get tall boys to bowl pace AND to discourage teams at every level from selecting short quick bowlers.

From the age of six upwards it needs to be explicit: you only get to bowl pace if you are at least two inches taller than anybody else in the team.

And frankly, people like Naseem Shah need to get Growth Hormone treatment before their bones stop growing. The extra 4 inches would have changed his career.

You only need to look at Musa Khan’s dreadful pitch map at Adelaide to understand why decisive action needs to be taken.

 

[Barragan]

Males can grow their heights until 21, so get these teens swimming, getting into a 8+ hr sleep routine, playing basketball, drinking milk etc.

Not all will continue to grow until 21, but worth a try.

 

[moghul]

Even shorter than Naseem, needs some " height fudging ".

 

[Forum363]

Well, that’s that then.

What does height have to do with pitchmap?

 

[Junaids]

What does height have to do with pitchmap?

Outside Asia, EVERYTHING!

In Tests a 6’4 or taller quick bowler almost never bowls a short ball. They bowl a full length but get too much bounce to be driven. The odd ball is pitched on a normal length and rises sharply. The batsman can’t score a run.

Shorter bowlers get cut and pulled and hooked - even Waqar Younis at 6’0 did. They have to pitch the odd ball very short to stop the batsman playing everything off the front foot. Musa’s terrible pitch map at Adelaide was more because of his height than anything else.

Taking 20 wickets in the Southern Hemisphere is easiest if you have at least 3 quicks taller than 6’2 in the team.

 

[aloo paratha]

Height has to be the most overrated aspect of bowling. Yes, it helps, but people act like it will make or break a bowler.

If this kid can bowl 145, consistently bowl a good length, 4th stump line, with the ability to move the ball, he will be successful pretty much regardless of his height.

 

[Hawkeye]

Well, that’s that then.

Justin Langer made clear in the comments that I referenced that you can afford one supremely skilful bowler who isn’t a giant so long as all the others are, because the giants will dry up the scoring at the other end while the short guy probes away.

Just because Justin Langer stated his opinion, doesn't mean it's true for all the cases. It's a very subjective opinion. His own. That's it. Not a fact.

Height matters, but not your law of heights.

Wasim was a king, one of the best the world has seen, didn't fit your law of heights.

Bumrah, a short bowler, wreaked havoc in AUS.

Steyn, a success worldwide, contender for GOAT.

Many others have done the same. You just need to be sufficiently tall, ideally close to 6ft but 5'9-10 can do excellent as well. Not your law of 6'3 or above.

If you get the chance to meet Langer sometimes, can you please ask him a question on behalf of me - current WIN team has six pacers - Jason Holder 6'8", Oshane Thomas 6'6", Miguel Cummins 6'5", Shannon Gabriel 6'4", Sheldon Cottrell 6'3".... only this Roach guy is like 5'9" ........ still why these days it's much easier to score against WIN? And, to be honest they don't get you out much either!!!!!!

In fact Roach has been the best test bowler out of them all by long way.

Malcolm Marshall was one of the greatest bowlers of all time. He was 5 foot 11".

Whilst height can help, what is more important is level of skill.

And roach is by miles their best bowler in test.

 

[Junaids]

Malcolm Marshall was one of the greatest bowlers of all time. He was 5 foot 11".

Whilst height can help, what is more important is level of skill.

If you listen to Justin Langer, his argument is that at the other end there were non-stop tall bowlers making run scoring impossible at that end. Take your pick between Garner, Ambrose, Walsh - the shortest is 6’5.

At the attacking end Marshall alternated with Bishop, who is 6’5 and also impossible to score off. Earlier there was Holding (6’4).

Fast bowlers hunt in packs, and for a short one like Marshall (5’11) or Steyn (5’11) to be effective you need a horde of Garner/Ambrose/Walsh/Bishop/Morkel height bowlers bowling the rest of the overs to dry up the scoring rates.

I don’t mind one fast bowler under 6’3 in the attack, although Naseem Shah worries me with his lack of height.

But one short quick is the maximum, the absolute maximum. I’ll put up with a second short quick like Faheem Ashraf only as fourth seamer: but for every 1 Naseem Shah there have to be 2 quicks taller than 6’3.

No exceptions outside Asia, ever.

Minimum 2 quicks of at least 6’4 in height. Always, always, always.

Makes sense. That explains why Mohammad Asif was effective bowler despite lacking pace. Being the tall bowler, it is not often easy to play for batsmen.

 

[Monsee]

B.S, this whole height thing is only good when the tall guy can bowl with good control and decent pace as well...but, the biggest failure (at least for Pak bowlers) is their inability to Seam/Swing the Kookabura ball!

Why was Hassan Ali so successful in his first 2 years despite being short and not very pacy...he was able to swing/seam the ball with decent but not express pace, while being quite short!

If the tall due is not gonna be able to deviate the ball one inch, even off the seam, then no matter how tall they are or they bowl phaast, it is not gonna help one bit! I believe we need a bowling specialist coach who can teach to our bowlers how Aussie/English/Kiwi bowlers can still make the Kookabura ball seam/swing especially English bowlers who are used to playing with Duke balls

I don't need to listen to Justin Langer. I've watched enough cricket to know that you don't have to be over 6 foot to be a great fast-bowler. What is crucial are skills, good levels of fitness and intelligence.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Height does add an advantage but definitely not a recipe for a success , its the movement and pace which are essentials.

Your argument is based on massively generalising a trend to an extreme level. There is no doubt that being taller is an advantage for a fast bowler however you are arguing that without a minimum height, a bowler is guaranteed to be a failure outside Asia.


Tendulkar, Lara, Bradman, Kohli, Viv Richards, Ricky Ponting and most of the top batsman of all time were 5 foot 10 or under. You could easily make up a theory stating that it is an advantage for a batsman to be shorter for xyz reason and this was stated by Indian coach about batting in the low bounce conditions of the subcontinent. This therefore means that is not possible for a batsman to be successful if he is over 6 foot. PCB should ensure that any tall batsmen at the lower levels are discouraged from batting, given shrinking potions or asked to bat while on their knees.

 

[Abdullah719]

Pace bowling prodigy Mohammad Amir Khan is determined to make a big impression at the coveted ICC U19 Cricket World Cup. The right-armer is the latest in the assembly line of Pakistan teenage fast bowlers following in the footsteps of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Musa Khan and Mohammad Hasnain.

The Swat-born can clock the 140kmph mark on the speed gun. His pace and ability impressed the junior selection committee and the Pakistan U19 team management, who chose to induct him in the final squad for the tournament being hosted in South Africa.

Amir, who was playing tape-ball cricket on the streets and fields of Swat till only a year ago, burst on the domestic U19 scene this year with a haul of 18 wickets in five three-day matches of the National U19 championship in which he represented Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Featuring in a training camp in September last year at the National Cricket Academy, Amir found himself bowling with the likes of Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz who gave him useful tips.

After resting from Pakistan’s opening warm-up game against Nigeria, Amir bowled his full quota of 10 overs at the Irene Country Club in Pretoria taking two wickets in his second spell as Pakistan cruised to a four wicket win against Sri Lanka on Tuesday.

Amir Khan said: “I didn’t get any wicket in my first spell as I struggled a bit for control and direction. I am pleased with my performance in the second spell in which I took two wickets and also effectively used the slower delivery.

“My aim is to perform in every World Cup game and play a role in my team’s success. My pace is natural and I have worked hard on improving my run-up with the coaches. Our bowling coach Rao Iftikhar has worked with me and I have the support of the whole coaching staff.

“Attending a camp with senior players always helps. When I was at the NCA, I bowled with Wahab Riaz and Mohammad Amir. Both gave me useful tips which gave me a lot of confidence and heart. They told me to maintain my line and length and learn the slower ball.”

Amir, who first started playing cricket after watching the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 on TV, took a keen interest in tape-ball cricket where he made a name for his fast bowling before his rapid rise at the national junior level last year after he switched to the cricket ball.

The youngster wants to bowl quick like Shoaib Akhtar and admires the skills of England’s James Anderson.

The ICC U19 Cricket World Cup provides him the perfect platform of further raising his prospects of a national senior team call-up.

Pakistan now travel to Potchefstroom today (Wednesday) after a five-day stay in Pretoria, where they won both warm-up games.

Pakistan who are placed in Group C, play Scotland in their opening ICC U19 Cricket World Cup match on Sunday, 19 January.

Their second match is against Zimbabwe on Wednesday, 22 January, followed by the third and final group match against Bangladesh on Friday, 24 January. All three games will be played in Potchefstroom.

Pakistan ICC U19 Cricket World Cup squad:

Rohail Nazir (captain and wicketkeeper), Abbas Afridi (Peshawar), Abdul Wahid Bangalzai (Quetta), Amir Ali (Larkana), Amir Khan (Peshawar), Arish Ali Khan (Karachi), Fahad Munir (Lahore), Haider Ali (vice-captain), Qasim Akram (Lahore), Mohammad Haris (Peshawar), Mohammad Huraira (Sialkot), Mohammad Irfan Khan (Lahore), Mohammad Shehzad (Multan), Mohammad Wasim Jnr (North Waziristan), Tahir Hussain (Multan)

Team management – Ijaz Ahmed (head coach-cum-manager), Rao Iftikhar Anjum (bowling coach), Abdul Majeed (assistant coach), Saboor Ahmad (trainer), Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rasul (physiotherapist), Usman Hashmi (analyst), Emmad Ahmed Hameed (media manager) and Col (retd) Usman Riffat Anwari (security manager).

Looks similar to Musa in style and physical attributes

Action looks way better and more pacy too. Physique wise I guess around same or 1-2 inches taller

 

[IAJ]

Sees like real fast. Would have loved to have Naseem here as well.

 

[D12og]

Quick Action and Easy Run up, Thats what makes difference.
Guys like Boult,Cummins,Hassan have it and they fare better.
Shaheen , Musa and co miss exactly that

 

[Baigel]

Mark Wood? Very similar in the approach

 

[Greenstorm]

Nice action with real pace , quiet similar to Naseem infact. Run up is too short though imo.

Very similar to Haris Rauf

You only need to look at Musa Khan’s dreadful pitch map at Adelaide to understand why decisive action needs to be taken.

LMAO! POTW POTW! Spot on, just because an Australian coach said his tall players are better because they're tall doesn't mean they are.

The asked to bat while their on their knees part had me creasing!

Dare i say it, i see a hint of Bumrah and Naseem just before the release. Videos can be misleading but he looks very quick but it maybe that its a quick pitch and our BD bros are little scared.
