[VIDEOS] What will happen to Hassan Ali in future?

[asadee]

He needs to take a mental health break like Stokes. Will do him wonders

 

[shamaan]

What's next for him, does he warrant a place in the T20 team

Doesnt have Express Pace, ability to bowl up front or at the death, gets targeted in the middle overs and has become a No Ball machine

I think he needs a break away from cricket and recover from an injury.

 

[shamaan]

Dhani and Wasim Jnr dont bowl with the new ball like Hasan Ali
With the next WC being in Australia, the team is need of a new ball Bowler. Akif Javed is my Dark horse for this role

Akif javed is good new ball bowler but i highly doubt he will get a chance.

 

[shamaan]

Hassan Ali need to speak to the management and ask to be rested needs to spend time with his family and get his fitness back and recover from his injury.

 

[Saj]

Shahid Afridi "In terms of Hassan Ali's body language, I would say that yes you maybe struggling with your bowling but you cannot stand in the ground with a sad face and wait for a miracle; If you drop your shoulders like this then at crucial moments your performance will be effected; If Hassan had taken that catch, people would have forgotten about the fact that he didn't bowl well in the previous over and this is why you, as a player, have to avail of such opportunities and lift yourself up. This is a big lesson to be learnt, and we have a good Team Management who need to tackle this problem before the next T20 World Cup which will be upon us very soon"

 

[jawwada]

Drop catch was important moment but it can happen. The real problem is with his bowling. It was not one match, it was not one tournament, he was showing poor form, no balls and so on in national t20 as well. He is a bowler who skids the ball like Mohammed Shami, these kind of bowlers go for rungs after a couple of years. It always happens. If you play the hard ball, you would know.


Coupled with that he should be punished for hiding some injury and hurting Pakistan chances.

Hasan Ali should be dropped from T20 and retained for ODI and Test. He should know poor performance gets you dropped and friendships do not help. Dahani is amazing. Naseem shah and hasnain are good though they are too young and can go for runs. If going for skillful bowling with yorkers and slow ball in depth, imran khan senior or a couple of other chaps can be picked. He is simply not Pakistan's 3rd best option for T20.

This is the problem I foresee with Babar Azam's captaincy. In my view, he will always be a good captain but not a world beating one. He will prefer friendships. Have low strike rate players. Incorrectly prefer veteran players over developing young talent, and keep friendships. He is not smart long term thinker and aggressive with the selection

exactly, some of our boi's used to twirl on a pitch or even munch down the ball itself to avail an opportunity... jokes aside, afridi is bang on, that as a pro you have to find ways to make yourself count, contribute somehow. Hassan Ali's catch only stings too much coz he didnt merit a place in the 11, if anyone else had dropped, we wouldnt be talking or hurt by it as much.

@Saj


I don't know if you remember, but there was a game in the National T20 Cup where this string of poor performances started.

From watching him bowl, he's definitely carrying some fatigue or an injury of sorts. No bowler that I have seen struggles so much with getting to the mark properly, I feel as though he needs to be rested so that his body doesn't give way again.

But from my observations, there's definitely something physical which is causing problems.

The second reason I believe he's carrying an injury is because of how much he has become dependent on his slower balls. It's the easier, less physically straining delivery to bowl. His arm speed has also decreased on the slower ball as pointed out by Wasim Akram, so I am more or less convinced that something physical is preventing him from bowling properly. None of our cricketers are lazy, all of them would bowl 90+ mph every ball if they could. Hasan Ali is no less.

Frequent no-balls, lack of rhythm, collapsing after the 3rd over, poor form, less arm-speed, less bending of the back, short on pace, changing his strong slower-ball technique, less pace on deliveries.

These are terrible signs for Pakistan Cricket. I believe that there's an injury coming.

Too many factors aligning which suggest a back strain of sorts.

Your thoughts?

 

[moghul]

Hasan Ali needs a break but more than that Pakistan cricket followers needs a break from watching this useless trundler. No pace , no swing, no control , no height , why is it so difficult to drop him.

From the very first match he played at the WC, every one was saying he was the weak link, but, Babar kept on playing him, as expect Hasan Al kept his worst showing at the most important match.

 

[Thephenom]

The man was vomiting on the pitch after his previous over as was white as a sheet, would of made more sense to bowl Hafeez as wade has a problem against spin, also T20’s top wicket takers are all spinners

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

He has the heart of a lion. Fantastic and passionate.
Characters like him are good for the game.
i have no doubt he will be back, better and more improved.
Guys like these donot drop out of trees, need to be perserved with.

 

[hitthestump]

Imad had bowled an absolute clutch 3rd over and was brilliant throughout the tournament.

Leaving 1 of his overs behind to give Hasan Ali a full quota was absolutely insane from Babar and was something which helped cost us the game.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

He should be rebuked regardless of how much one feels for him right now. His attitude needs to change and so does his mindset and ability to soak in pressure. This another bump in his career would be a painful but good experience and he would and should be better in the longer run after this. He needs to be told and process that his larger than life attitude isn't healthy for his own sake. Needs maturing.

There are two ways he could go now. Either he can go the Umar Gul way or Lasith Malinga way. Umar Gul was in peek form with growing confidence but once he got carted all over the ground in 2011 Mohali semi final, he was never the same bowler again. His career virtually ended one year later with a serious injury.
On the other hand, Malinga was mercilessly butchered by Marlon Samuels in the 2012 final in a game that had SL's victory written all over it after first 10 overs when the scorecard read 32/3(i think). He came back from that failure and learned to trust his strengths and led his team to victory in the very next world t20 and was able to slow down the wrath of an unstoppable Kohli in the final with the same yorkers he got hit with. In addition, he went on to play international cricket for 8 more years after that and managed one of the most successful careers for SL cricketers.

Maybe getting some advice from Malinga won't be a bad choice for Hasan in coming time.

From what I have been hearing from Afridi is refreshing stuff. He has been stern and firm with his words while not going overboard with his criticism. It's pretty evident that he's saying it constructively and in a way urging the players to get better. A bit like strict parents. It's a good thing for some of our players who are good players but need further directions and some guys whose potential is sky high and that needs to be realized and it can't be done by pampering them and being content with mediocrity but being told some harsh reality to get better.

His criticism has been pretty good in a way he hasn't targeted the management for his personal grudges or going overboard or criticising just to humilate the guys.

I never thought I'd say this but he could be a good mentor(not coach) for our players in some limited capacity.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Hopefully, it’s a blessing in disguise… maybe we’ve seen the last of his cringey celebration.

 

[shamaan]

Needs a rest and shouldn't play any format against Bangladesh.

 

[Farabi]

He's a pretty average bowler. When you're short like him, you need extra skill to compensate for the lack of height and I don't think he brings anything special.

He's always looked as the weak link in Pakistan's bowling attack. Pakistan need to replace him with another gun bowler like Shaheen to have a great new ball pairing.

Yup! I am starting to think Hassan Ali is in the mold of Shami, both of whom excel in the red ball cricket.
For T20, options are:
1. Amir
2. Wahab
3. Hasnain
4. Dahani
5. Mohd Wasim Jr

I would go with Amir and groom Hasnain as back-up.
Amir’s career economy rate of 7, lowest amongst all Pakistani fast bowlers was missed, the controls he brings even if wickets column is not always bright

 

[moghul]

Hasan Ali due to lack of pace and height has already played more cricket for Pakistan than he ever imagined. Enough now, drop him for good and look for better replacement which we have enough.

That zip in his bowling just wasn't there.

He's one of those bowlers who at his best bowls a 'heavy ball', but that rarely happened during the T20 World Cup. At his best when he bowls back of a length it zips through and catches batsmen out.

The pace, zip just wasn't to be seen at all.

I'm not sure what the issue was, it could be confidence, fitness, perhaps the way the skipper utilised him, or something else.

He has just played a lot in the past year without rest.

He'll be fine. Players go through up & down moments. The consistent no-balls is something he needs to get rid of though.

I think Babar utilized Hasan Ali the same way he'd been bowling earlier, but it wouldn't be unlikely to see fitness as the problem.

The pace is down by quite some margin. He usually bowls 83mph in test cricket, I believe his average speed in this WC was less than 85mph even on the pace-on deliveries.

Either way, if he needs rest, he should consult the team management.

Your willing to pick a spray gun wahab ?
Have you seen Amir stats in CPL and psl he looked like someone who has never bowled before.

 

[Bewal Express]

HA has lots to offer as a test bowler but once the news got around that he was the weak link in T20 and everyone looked to attack him, and he didn't have a response, it pretty much finishes him in the short term against good teams and maybe altogether. PK need to create competition between the bowlers by playing off these fast bowlers against each other and forcing them to improve

 

[Firebat]

Hassan will be back I'm sure. He totally dominated 2021 from his return from injury right up until the WC, when he inexplicably fell off a cliff.

All talk of his attitude is entirely redundant. He will always be extremely animated when he plays, and like many players, he walks the line of passion/confidence and arrogance. The public perception of which side he's on is totally dependent on how well he's playing. He had a horror WC, so of course the knives will come out on everything from his celebration to his teeth-brushing technique. Such is elite sport.

 

[Farabi]

The spray gun was among the top wicket takers in the same leagues you’re quoting.
Agreed that Amir needs to prove form in PSL and domestic to be reconsidered. Amir is just 29/30 and he is Pakistan’s most intelligent bowler who knows how to ball defensive lines when elite batsmen are on song. You can’t have all 3 attacking options with Haris Rauf, Shaheen and Hassan. You also need someone experienced who can hold his own in pressure situations. Can bowl those wily cutters and wide Yorkers

Played a bunch of easy series this year and he did well against Zim, WI, and did ok vs SA B. longer format is where he did really well specially in Pak where he got the ball to reverse. Pak should use him in test and ODI cricket.
The sterner exam will come up against top teams on usual T20 flat pitches where he neither has enough speed nor enough variations to trouble the best. He’s also very passionate and tried too hard forgetting the basics.

Let him perform in domestic if he does then no problem bring him back.

Wahab performs in a couple games and then goes missing pluss he mainly bowls at first/second change.

 

[MenInG]

Pretty poor so far in the 1st Test vs Bangladesh.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Pretty poor so far in the 1st Test vs Bangladesh.

He has released all pressure created by Shaheen. I can’t believe they played him ahead of Abbas. Babar definitely prefers him for some odd reason

 

[Shafi]

Babar is similar tread like Misbah. Both are rigid with changing, stubborn, love oldies and has love for useless player. Not a captain material.

 

[shamaan]

Pretty poor so far in the 1st Test vs Bangladesh.

He should be coming in as first change and not opening bowling dahani should have been thier.

 

[MenInG]

Very secure - atleast for the Test matches!

 

[Savak]

The thing with Hasan is that when he is bad he goes for plenty but when on a roll he can pick up 3-5 wickets in a spell which is game changing quality

 

[shah_1]

Shaheen might outperfrom him in Australia apart from that Hasan is 2 times the bowler Shaheen is in test cricket.

 

[Sher Khan]

Have you guys noticed that Hasan already has six five fers and he is only playing in his 16th test match.

Not comparing but Wasim had only 25 fers after his 104 test match career. I find it unbelievable that people still criticise Hasan Ali for tests.

 

[Shafi]

Great bowling today but mentally weak in tough situation.

Would be good to break these down by opposition quality

 

[Mobashir]

Hasan Ali is a very good test match bowler especially in these conditions.

I find it incredible that people criticize the selectors and captains for Mixing the formats when they do themselves the same thing.
Hasan Ali the test bowler never deserved to be dropped so far.
Hasan Ali the t20 bowler was never an established bowler. Even T20's and ODI'S are different, you need to have the best players for each format. Hasan Ali is clearly not a top 3 fast bowler in T20's in Pakistan.

From now on he should only play trst cricket & in test cricket as well he shouldn't bowl from new ball, absolutely zero control over the new ball & always leak runs, but he's definitely an asset when ball is little older & it's reversing.

Sameen Gul. Shaheen and Sameen opening the bowling will be treat to watch. Two tall pace bowlers , would be nightmare for openers to face them. Then add Hasan Ali first change would be like tearing pace attack.


I don’t see anything from Naseem shah and Abbas to stick around in the squad.

Yes sameen gull should have been the squad atleast a year ago but his fitness is letting him now if am right he only played couple games last season.

I no alot of people don't rate this bowler (Irfanullah and khuram Shezard) but I really like them two.

Naseem,dahani offer something else which is pace and bounce.

Hassan Ali has been rested for the T20I & ODI's against West Indies.

Do the same of Shaheen so he doesn't have to get INJURED in the first place.

 

[Junaids]

But but but he doesn’t have the height for test cricket.

Nothing has changed - in the second innings against Bangladesh his figures were:

11-0-52-2

Against better teams that lack of height means that one expensive spell can lose a close match.

Imagine you are away to NZ and in the third innings an hour before the end of Day 4 (after there was no significant first innings lead) now NZ is 250-7 in the 80th over, only for the next eight overs to be:

Shaheen 4-3-6-1
Hasan Ali 4-0-25-0

Suddenly NZ is 281-8 and the game can no longer be won.

I still want Hasan Ali in my Test side - but as an all-rounder who is the 4th seamer outside Asia and the 3rd seamer in Asia.

But only if he can prove that he can stop slogging and reliably survive 40 deliveries every single time he goes out to bat.

 

[Sycamore]

He should not be in the T20I side, can't even control the ball in tests even after warming up.

ODIs jury is still out, because he is a very useful hitter in the lower order.

Once he gets under pressure then its very hard for him to bowl accurately, needs to sort out his nerves.

[MenInG]

Dropped for the ODI series vs Netherlands and also Asia Cup 2022

Mohammad Wasim says :

“Hasan has been given a break from international cricket"

Or is his time up?

 

[Titan24]

He is just 28. Players go in and out of form and it happens in sports across the globe. Rightfully dropped/given rest, should work on his fitness and should play domestic, perform and make a comeback just like he did post his injury.

Its that in Pakistan some of our journalists as well as fans think if someone is not performing his career is over, somebody starts well then he is the next best thing since sliced bread.

Unless fitness comes in the way, he will make a comeback to Pakistan cricket team but should be after he performs and gets his form back in demotic cricket.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

It was the right decision to drop him. He has been on a downward spiral since that T20 World Cup drop. Pakistan, to their credit, showed a surprising level of faith in him, that they haven't always extended to other players. But at this point they were left with no other choice but to drop him.

What he needs to do is go back to the drawing board and analyze what he has been doing wrong. Some long discussions with Wasim, Waqar and some of the NHPC coaches would definitely help. Also needs to go back to domestic and rediscover his form, which is something that he has been able to do in the past.

I'm confident he will come back stronger and better than ever. He is only 28 and has a long career ahead of him.

 

[Marooned]

In white ball, it should be up. We have way too many options in white ball who should have their chance before we ever go back to him.

 

[Shafi]

Mentally weak player. He should not play any do or die type or semi/quarter matches. 95% chances he will fail under pressure. Should concentrate on franchise T20 leagues round robin league matches. Playing him in semi/final will let the team down. Ideally he should play Sunday league matches where no pressure involve.

 

[Concerned]

The rate he has declined in the last 5 years is incredible. I don’t think Hassan Ali is 28.

You have to remember what his strength his. He gets wickets because he is able to accelerate the bowl after it lands. He gets a lot of zip. Most of his wickets come due to the ball ducking in fast. He has lost that of late- most likely due to fatigue.

His Height is a big drawback and the pace at which he's been bowling off late makes him very hittable. Very easy for batsmen to pick the lengths from short bowlers

 

[ElRaja]

pbly one of the least consistent pacers pak have ever had, has had some match winning performances then goes compeltely missing. struggles without reverse swing massively in test matches.

will likely hover around national selection for a few more years before becoming a full time league cricketer.

 

[Cric1234]

He is finished

 

[Rana]

His pace is down and will not return to 87-90mph levels

He does not swing the ball enough either

Not sure what he can offer to the side now?

 

[mazkhan]

He's finished at the top level

Naseem shah and dahani are much younger and more pace

Wasim Khan on Hassan Ali:

"There comes a time when a good player needs a break for his and the teams betterment; Same thought process we have with Hassan Ali as we gave him an extended run but at the moment we feel that he needs a break; With this break, he will have a chance to regather and regroup himself; The qualities of being a match-winner etc he has shown to us before and we hope we will see the same Hassan Ali again"

 

[Bewal Express]

Hasan has a great attitude but unfortunately the zip has gone and the opposition are targeting as the weakest link and he doesnt have the skills and pace to respond. As its PK cricket, i am sure he will be back but if i was him, i would concentrate on County cricket and franchise cricket

 

[Forum363]

He is starting to become the next Umar Gul.

Absolutely lethal on his day who has some match winning performances in tournaments (t20 World Cup for Gul and champions troops for Hassan) but also gone missing badly in big matches denting Pakistan badly (2011 World Cup semi final for Gul and t20 World Cup for Hassan).

The dropped catches and huge sixes are another similarity.

 

[Anis Shivani]

If Mohammad Waseem didn't drop him, the coach and captain would still play him.
The same goes for Azhar, Fawad, etc., the selector has to prevent these folks from being available in the first place.

Need to not play cricket for abit get his energy back and strength back .
