That's not a very inspiring list

I'll go with Hasan. Insha'Allah.

 

[babajee]

Just needs to stay fit.

 

[aloo paratha]

Yasir because of the pitches we play on. Out of the fast bowlers it'll be Hasan Ali.

 

[Rahul1]

Babar azam...For the opposition bowlers.

On a serious note, it will be Yasir, obviously.

If you are talking about how much they will end up with when they retire, shouldn't you be showing their entire career wickets rather than of few years?

Most of these bowlers have more career wickets than shown in this table.

Wow Yasir already has 165 wickets??? Damn


He could be the next Pakistani to 200 test wickets. We play too few tests and can't fully appreciate the talent of Shah.

If Amir finds his correct length and bowls a little faster, I am sure he can end up with 250+ wickets at least considering he is around 25, but that is if he wants to play Test cricket.

Yasir probably will end up being the highest from these bowlers if he remains fit and injury less.

He should end his career with around 300 wickets from the progress he has shown.

I'm devastated that we aren't going to have his services for the England tests. Even if conditions aren't spinner friendly Shah will always be a major threat against a team like England who have no idea how to play spin.


They will be completely at home facing medium pace of Talat or Fahim as Pakistan's fourth bowler.

I agree that Yasir will be a big loss but I don't think Fahim or Talat will play as the fourth bowler, they will probably play as the fifth bowler if we decide to sacrifice a batsman who most probably will not score more than any of these all rounders, Shadab will play as the fourth bowler in place of Yasir who should cause some trouble for English batsmen given how well he bowls.

 

[backfootpunch]

I expect Yasir to reach 250-300. Amir has cut down with commitments to tests, so he may not even reach 200 wickets.

As for Hasan Ali, it can go 2 ways he could easily get injured from the workload accumulated with bowling in UAE, condequently losing pace like Bilawal Bhatti - just like him his body isn't really tailor made for fast bowling in tests, so this is a possibility but God forbid! So we shouldn't hold too many expectations as of yet.

However if he remains injury free for a lot of the time utilise his bowling intelligence, skill set, aggression and intensity then he can reach the 200 wicket milestone.

But I've got my sights set on Shaheen to perhaps reach 300 wicket club. As I mentioned in another post earlier, he has all the ingredients, since he is blessed with height and pace to take the pitch out of the equation and therefore dominate in all conditions if he fulfils his potential.

 

[Asch Ali]

Shaheen Shah Afridi

 

[Hasan123]

Yasir Shah as long as he stays fit. He's our main bowler in tests.

 

[MenInG]

Hasan Ali has a good shot at this .
