What's wrong with Rahat Ali?

[Boyo]

He can swing it and bowl really well but he seems so depressed, it's like he doesn't want to bowl, his expression is really negative.

On the other side, you have Yasir who smiles all the time, shows passion and he got a 6fer.

Amir's nervous atm which is the reason he isn't doing his best tbh.

But what's wrong with Rahat? He needs to cheer up.

Rahat is sad because he realises that he's trying to be Wasim Akram but really he's only a poor mans chaminda Vaas. He'd better emulate Vaas and try to keep one end tight so that bowlers at the other end can take wickets.

 

[Logical]

Him smiling all the time wont make him bowl better. We all have different personalities.

But yes like the above poster maybe he needs to realize his limitations and bowl to his strength. Use that height and bowl in good areas. Whats his average pace btw ?

 

[Sherlock]

You realised all this now?

The negativity that runs through his body is more expressive than the emotional detachment he has on his face.

 

[The_KING]

He has the look of a scared little boy who is lost in the supermarket on his face. Not sure how anyone can take a fast bowler who looks so timid seriously.

 

[Justcrazy]

He needs some wickets to boost him up

134-136 kph can crank it up to 140 kph though.

 

[carbon11]

To be honest he looks like a crap bowler India or Sri Lanka would produce

I was a fan of him when he was initially selected on back of solid domestic performance and then a good debut vs South Africa

But to be Honest he is average + poor fielder and batsmen

Another disappointment is wahab riaz who was running his mouth before the series and is also looking pretty mediocre

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He has all the skills - swing/decent pace etc. but simply cannot plug away at a good line/length thatcis necessary in England. Clueless cricketer. Very disappointed with Rahat to be honest. There were times in the UAae that he looked superb with the ball.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Nothing wrong, he is like other bowlers who has skills, but no control.

 

[Anis10]

Probebly lacking a bit of confidence

Embarrassing post. What his looks got to do with bowling. Everyone has a different personality.

McGrath looked harmless. What's your point?

Has skills. No control.

 

[Red Devil]

Lacks control and pace. Struggles to string together 3 good deliveries.

 

[Smbhayi]

and once again he gets the breakthrough but people still blaming him?

 

[in_cutter]

What is wong with Amir too?

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Length, same goes for Amir.

 

[Ab Fan]

Rahat bowls lots of rubbish delivery and is inconsistent.

He can give early breakthrough but removes pressure very easily from the batsmen.

 

[Hasan123]

Give him some sessions with Mohammad Asif . He will teach him line and length

What's him cheery or not got to do with his bowling.

2 wickets already for him.

 

[Major]

Such a talented bowler who could achieve so much if he could just be consisstent.

 

[in_cutter]

Too many hit me deliveries...at least one every over.

 

[Finisher]

He's like the umar akmal of bowling so much potential

 

[Saj]

3 wickets but he needs to smile more

 

[in_cutter]

Good comeback. Well done sir.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Very pleased to see him do well. He's talented and it was about time that he started fulfilling his potential .

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

He is a Tukka bowler. Cannot land bowl in one channel. His pace has also dropped since his test debut where he passed 145 mark quite a few times and was.consistently bowling above 138 kph.

May be back injuries here and there have taken their toll.


Anyhow thanks to him for taking 3 wickets but very up and down bowling.

Yes it remember two years back he was clocking regularly inbthe (136-142) bracket against NZ. He has slowed down a little.

 

[Slog]

The major problem with his bowling is a problem which is unfortunately unfixable

 

[90MPH]

It's his accuracy thats the main problem.

If he sorts that out he will be a handful.

 

[hadi123]

People like to take the mickey out of him a lot but he's bowled pretty well tonight

Always had the ability to bowl jaffas. Line and length is his problem. Commies were overhyping him so much.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Bowled well (surprisingly) today.
