Who will be Pakistan's top wicket-taker in the Test series vs Australia?

[Abdullah719]

Pakistani bowlers generally have struggled in recent tours to make much of an impact. Will that change here and who will lead the charge?

 

[Titan24]

I think Naseem can surprise us all.

Have high hopes for Naseem followed by Shaheen. Abbas can also come in handy as there is expected cloud covers on occasions in Brisbane and of course in Pink ball test as well.

 

[omorst7]

I think in two test blowers will take only 10 out of 40!! Like they took only 3 out of 30 in T20!!!

 

[nextover666666]

I'm gonna go with Abbas I think he will have a good tour

 

[MenInG]

It better be Abbas as he is the leader of the pack.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Mohammad Abbas will take the solitary wicket of the test series when David Warner finally miscues a pull and is caught out for 176(130)

 

[another drop catch]

Naseem shah as Australia haven't seen his bowling yet

 

[pratiktc]

Honestly believe Pak will struggle to take 10 wkts total in full series.

But expecting Abbas to trouble openers and get atleast 5 wkts in series

 

[Mueez]

Shaheen my boy!

 

[MenInG]

Looks like it could be Naseem Shah!

 

[MenInG]

Looks like it could be Naseem Shah!

Last game did not seem to go too well so hope he can pick himself up and get us those wickets!

Still hoping for him.

Ssa

Shaheen

 

[The Viper]

I think Shaheen has the attributes to do well in these conditions.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Shaheen followed by Naseem ( I won't mind too much if he doesn't do too well though, he is very young and is learning, if he does bad he should still play Sri Lanka in home conditions).

 

[Xoib]

Shaheen and Naseem to share 27 wickets between them as Pakistan level series 1-1 inshallah

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Naseem shah. Shaheen second.

 

[MenInG]

Too much to ask of Naseem - Abbas I feel.

 

[Plumb]

Shaheen... He may out bowl Starc too

 

[angrypathan]

Shaheen

 

[MenInG]

Yasir Shah simply because he is likely to bowl lots of overs - how many runs he will give away is another issue.

 

[MenInG]

Shaheen Shah Afridi with a pretty good case for that.

2 wickets so far in 2nd Test.

 

[ak619]

Dont see Australia batting again in this series so I guess it's official:

Shaheen is the highest wicket taker with 5 wickets at 36.8 a piece.

Second highest is Yasir Shah with 4 wickets at 100.5 runs a piece.

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[HARKS]

On the bright side, look Pakistan managed to take 10 Australian wickets in this seires

 

[Captain caveman]

This is just pathetic!

 

[Captain caveman]

Punter was correct when he said he had not seen a worse bowling side play in australia.

 

[topspin]

Waqar Younis has a lot to answer for. I was amazed to find out how many posters on here wanted him to be our bowling coach. There is a reason why Australia never took him when they had a vacant bowling coach position.

But because PCB's threshold is so low, they gave him the Head Coach Role twice and now they let his toxic presence back in for a third time (albeit in a lower position).

It's a disgrace to find Musa and Imran Khan (senior) given preference over Ehsan Adil and Sameen Gul.

Misbah and Waqar Younis need to be accountable for the bowling selections and the latter more so for the bowling performance during the tour.

I was surprised. I thought Waqar would be good and he did help out fast bowlers in tests last time. I know you wanted Mohammad Akram as coach, but I am not sure about him. I remember few years ago, think in 2014, everyone wanted him out at the time. Maybe he's improved though
