There is no excuse for consistently overstepping the crease. Why can't he fix this issue? Will Wahab ever fix this issue?
 
I doubt it. I agree with you 100% but Wahab is the kind of guy who believes everything is pace. He doesn't care about being wayward or bowling no balls. I think he's been told that his only job is to frighten the batsman with pace by running in hard and bowling fast. You know how the mentality is in Pakistan cricket. Also, a couple of years ago, he didn't really bowl too many no balls but then again, he didn't bowl at 145+ very often then either.
 
You forgot to Mention

Running on the middle of the pitch Problem

Seam Position is no upright hence only bowls that goes across right handed

Terrible record after 2015 worldcup where he is averaging 45 with the ball in odis

When the charge is on He bowls too much short pitch deliveries with odd good length balls which is terrible

in death overs

Bottom line is he almost 32 and worldcup is in 2019 so he should be drop from t20 and odis and give him a

a fair chance in test where he is just fine

He just turned 31 in June bro. xD He'll play 2019 for sure. Not that I necessarily want him to, but he will.
 
Has always lacked discipline, no balls, wayward balls amid effort balls.

He's not a longterm bet in LOIs. Should stick to tests due to his fitness and x-factor his pace brings to the test side
 
Don't know how many denied wickets it takes you to move your run up back 2 inches...:facepalm:
 
It's not a matter of moving back 2 inches. He's overstepping because he doesn't wanna run on to the pitch. Coaches have to get his run up straighter.
 
Yoy can only sort these problems in the nets, not in the middle of a game. It's all about habits.

The problem is Wahab has always been pushing the front line for the last 9 years. Why does it need a coach to tell you to keep behind it ?? He could have sorted this problem a long time ago.
 
On going issue. Not celebrating his wicket of Shadab as a result!
 
How do you deal with a bowler who has a serial issue? Wahab Riaz continues to bowl no balls and follows them up with huge wides!
 
Wahab Riaz and wides too.

All over the place, some good balls, some brilliant balls, no-balls, wides and some garbage.
 
A rubbish bowler. Thanks God we got rid of him. Hopefully never see him in Pak shirt ever again.
