Who is the better bowler - Fakhar Zaman or Haris Sohail?

[babajee]

Just wondering who the better part time slow left armer is between the two

 

[Hasan123]

Harris. He can spin the ball and is threatening.

 

[ahmadharis1]

from what i've seen of both, probably Haris Sohail. He actually gets the ball to turn and Fakhar Zaman's bowling looks poor tbh

 

[babajee]

I’m only interested in this for ODIs:

Fakhar has a List A average of 31.77 with economy rate of 5.11

Haris has a List A average of 52.20 with economy rate of 5.67

haris has bowled mostly in internationals.

 

[babajee]

haris has bowled mostly in internationals.

I know

 

[DRsohail]

I know

Let Fakhar bowl in int his average will go up.

 

[angrypathan]

Haris can probably bowl better than Fakhar with his right hand

 

[Arham_PakFan]

From what I've seen so far of both,Haris.

But Fakhar has a very small sample size in internationals.

 

[DeadBall]

Harris could be the next Jayasuriya/Tendulkar for us.

 

[CadPakFan]

Haris is better from what I've seen so far, but Fakhar could get better the more he bowls. He got a couple wickets in the PSL.

 

[hafizexpress]

Harris could be the next Jayasuriya/Tendulkar for us.

This guy

Haris, but he is made of caramel pudding.

Part time bowlers don't survive for their bowling skills, rather their intelligence & game reading ability. Most successful part-timers performed when there is a scoreboard pressure, because they used their batting psyche while bowling. The best part-timer I had seen was Viv; while Mark (Waugh), Tendulkar, Hari De Silva, Salim Malik, Border, Astle, Amarnath, Mudassar ..... were cunning, more than anything else.

In that regard, Fakhar should be a successful part-timer as well, because guy is extremely dedicated and focused, may be for his defense training - therefore he is punching above his weight and he'll do that in bowling as well, guy has a listening & learning habit.

On contrary, Hari is not only unfit, he is fool as well - otherwise, with that natural ability, he would have been faaaaaaaaaar better cricketer than what he is now. He started bowling seriously 6 months before 2015 WC as an alternate option, and in few weeks time reached a decent level, which indicates that cricket skills are natural to him; but so his appetite and fitness (lack of it). I don't think, Hari's knee will allow him to bowl 6/7 overs regularly, otherwise he could have been a top class ODI batting all-rounder.

Do you think his official age is his real age?

 

[MMHS]

Do you think his official age is his real age?

No, but it’s not like Razzak or Afridi.

 

[PakSarZameen]

Haris. I think his bowling ability is on par with Imad. The only issue is his poor fitness and the fact that he never took his bowling seriously.

 

[Justcrazy]

Harris has more experience at International level. Unless Fakhar gets some experience we cannot say.

 

[UN talkz]

Haris; based upin his success at international level and he actually spins it more than Nawaz and Imad; bowls conventional left arm off spin and gets the job done

 

[Madplayer]

Bro, Haris picked up 3 wickets in 1 over in a test match purely because of his skill of turning the ball.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Haris is a very useful bowler who actually bowls like a spinner.

 

[hadi123]

I think Haris Sohail

 

[WC-Passion]

Haris Sohail definitely

 

[ads101]

Haris. Fakhar's a decent part timer though.

Haris, Fakhar and Malik combined should be able to give us 10 overs a match easy.

 

[Syed1]

Harry Sohail throws out his back, pulls his calf and has a wrist injury before he gets through an over.


Fakhar Zaman is a better bowler by the sheer fact that he can actually bowl an over without being stretchered off.
