What's new

Yasir Shah is the only bowler to concede 200+ runs in an innings 3 times in Test cricket

When you ask a leg spinner to bowl 1/3rd of overs on the first day of test match due to poor pace unit, this was bound to happen. During Yasir's career, Pakistan has poor pace units.

Taken over Saqlain his countryman who did it twice.

Can he do it four times though?
 
fine, but can hardly blame him on this tour and in particular this test. this is first innings and on first day with all the wind,etc, he bowled really well to get us in strong position at 119/4.

his worst has been australia where we should stop picking him and go with alternates but he has taken enough wickets and generated enough chances in england tour this time around and even previous occassions has helped win us tests.

Agree, In Aus he was very poor. He was asked to bowl defensively there.

Here, he can't be blamed for getting a double century.

LAck of fifth bowler is mostly to blame for it , no spinner should be bowling 30 overs on day 1 and specially in SENA countries.

I cant fathom why was there a need to drop SHadab khan after first match , who not only scored some runs but also got two quick wickets in the first innings. Pakistan is carrying deadweights in azhar and asad, so pakistan is forced to play a sixth batsman.

This also reflects on paks pace bowling. A spinner can only be able to do this if pacers fail to take wickets and he has to bowl the majority of the overs
 
Without UAE, Yasir would have had an ordinary career
 
Pakistan's lack of any good bowlers and any all rounders in the last 7 years has brought this statistic to life.
 
Doesn't help when you have to bowl 30 plus overs nearly every game regardless of the conditions.
 
It makes you wonder , when you look at the scorecard today , how much worse could the bowling figures look like If these guys went out bowling with an all out attacking mindset and field , with Yasir trying not to contain but to get turn and beat the batsman and the quickies striving to bowl full and uproot the middle stump. Could it really be much worse or it might even have been a different story by getting a couple of breakthroughs with someone bowling an inspired spell - these guys are just going through the motions.

Attritional cricket has been the style for Pakistan in the last 10 years. In UAE, resource was there to make that approach successful, but in SENA resource is not there to make it work. Bowlers don't have the skill to avoid bowling some hit me balls each over. Lack of maiden is quick way to check in this match itself.

You are right. Pakistan is probably better off simply trying to take wickets. If it does not come off then they lose, but if it's comes off then you win.
 
With Azhar as a captain, Yasir can achieve this historical record :yk

PS: strange to see Lee and Dev, both with >5rpo
 
He will do it two more times , trust me this is not the end. PCB has a habbit of prolonging carers of such players.
 
Yasir so overrated..... How many more series will he be considered a match winner.
Only UAE is ok.

He such a great base with the leg spinner.... cant believe he still does not a decent quick straight ball.
Forget the googly he will not be able to learn it now.
 
Heis the only one that gets wickets with inexpereince pace duo hardly putting pressure on the batters.
 
Take out dry wickets in England, his record in SENA has been poor.

We need to move on from him outside Asia (except in the Caribbean).
 
Most impressive thing is he's done it in just 40 tests. If he plays 100 tests he could do this like a 6-7 times.
 
He was the biggest disappointment for me along with Abbass. He has played on numerous Sena tours and in each and every series he has disappointed. Pakistan should gradually move on from him because he has reached his ceiling and is unlikely to get better, we can't have our premier spinner being ineffective on SENA pitches and conceding 200 runs every innings and putting an inexperienced bowling attack under even more pressure and the batsmen coming under scoreboard pressure.

He was bowling on the first day yes we went at 4rpo but he also bowled 35 overs

I blame the management if hes not ganna be effective then why play him
 
WHat do guys expect from him? Take 10 wicekts every match. Compare his number of wickets with other bowlers after x amount of matches. He comes in the top 3
 
To be fair on Yasir he always seems to come on to bowl against well set top order batsmen because the pacers are so incapable of getting breakthroughs on most days.

This is one thing when you look back at the likes of Mushy or Saqlain is most often they were given new batsmen at the crease immediately exposed to their top quality spin bowling due to the likes of Wasim/Waqar/Shoaib who even on bad days knew how to get breakthroughs .

Imagine how much Shane Warne must have benefited from McGrath running through the top order and strangling batsmen for runs at one end.

Last Match he was bowling in second innings, couldn't defend 277.

No Variety just googly, need to move one or select him just in UAE.

Yup, Yasir struggles badly when batsmen go after him. It explains why his ODI and T20 care is poor
 
Need more control from ur leading spinner.
With 3 fielders in the deep all the time he's prepared to give easy singles which is unacceptable.
 
You may not take too many wickets in alien conditions, but surely should've some control over the rate at which you're conceding runs.

Thats where Yasir has been found wanting.

This is why I object to playing SENA Tests with 3 quicks and 1 spinner.

Yasir Shah is a much better leg-spinner than Shadab, of course.

But he bowled 39-3-173-2.
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] disagrees, but:

1. Only 3 overs out of 39 were maidens.
2. He leaked runs at a rate of 4.44, worse than any other bowler including the 2 rookie quicks.
3. Really 25 of those 39 overs should have been bowled by a pace bowler.
4. Yasir used a 10 over old Dukes ball in the very first session of the match, which was crying out to be used by a quick bowler.

Yasir may be excellent by leg-spinner standards, but Misbah continues to try to use him as a stock bowler outside Asia and it almost always fails.

Just to repeat, at Southampton:

Yasir Shah 39-3-173-2.

My argument is that even a mediocre fourth pace bowler would be more effective than Yasir Shah in England most of the time.

And pace bowlers don't get much more mediocre than Faheem Ashraf. And here are his Test figures against the same opposition in the same country two years ago:

Faheem Ashraf in England 2018: 38-8-119-4

The ball that Yasir bowled to Ollie Pope was lovely. But still, compared with Faheem Ashraf:

1. Yasir Shah's economy rate in England is worse.
2. Yasir Shah's strike rate in England is worse.

So I find it hard to justify:

1. Why Pakistan needs a frontline leg-spinner in SENA.
2. Why Pakistan needs Yasir Shah in England: he helped win 2 Tests 4 years ago, but this year at Old Trafford couldn't defend 270 in the Fourth Innings.

In fact, the tale of the numbers is worse than this:

Yasir Shah in 7 Tests in England:
BOWLING
30 wickets in 336 overs
Average 38.06
Economy Rate 3.39
Strike Rate 67.2

BATTING
155 runs in 11 innings
Average 15.50

Shadab Khan in England in 3 Tests:
BOWLING
5 wickets in 53.5 overs
Average 38.80
Economy Rate 3.62
Strike Rate 64.2

BATTING
172 runs in 5 innings
Average 34.40

These numbers are devastating.

Yes, you can bowl Yasir Shah for much longer spells in England than Shadab Khan.

But he will take wickets at the same average as Shadab, the same economy rate and the same strike rate.

But he will only score half the amount of runs that Shadab will score in England.

Why would you bother?

In England in Tests, Faheem Ashraf has a better average (29.75 compared with Yasir and Shadab's 38).

In England in Tests, Faheem Ashraf has a better economy rate (3.13 compared with Yasir's 3.39 and Shadab's 3.62).

In England in Tests, Faheem Ashraf has a better strike rate (57.0 compared with Yasir's 67.2 and Shadab's 64.2).

Yes, it is testament to Yasir Shah's great skill as a leggie that Pakistan tries to use him as a stock bowler in SENA, and he almost carries it off.

But it doesn't work. A fairly mediocre fourth seamer outperforms him in terms of average, strike rate and economy rate. And a bits and pieces (as per [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] ) player like Shadab can perform almost at the level of a specialist batsman and still match Yasir Shah's bowling average, strike rate and economy rate in England.

Yet Yasir Shah will be one of the first on the flight to NZ where he's going to get tonked around for 6rpo.

Yes Yasir has no plans no variety and outside UAE is disappointment.

Shadab and Fawad would get the same wickets with same amount of runs abroad.

He is so hyped... he is not Warne or even Mushtaq.

I really wish it was different but you cant survive by having one delivery and no decent alternative.
 
I partly blame the captain and misbah for him going for so many runs so often

Hes not a stock bowler or someone that contains Hes also not a one man army Whenever hes failed its because the pacers have been unable to get breakthroughs and then the captain turns to him early on the 1st or 2nd innings when theres no help for a leggie

Theres no way he should be bowling 30 plus overs so early in the innings sometimes like he does

This over reliance on him by the management together with the pacers ineffectivness is what causes him to be so ineffective sometimes

Like someone said Its like asking warne to bowl teams out on the first or 2nd days of tests without a mcdermott mcgrath hughes lee gillespie at the other end taking wkts uptop

You are confusing the chicken with the egg.

This situation arises because of Misbah's belief that in SENA he can use Yasir Shah as a stock bowler and replace his fourth quick with a batsman.

He fails to recognise that this makes his 3 quicks less effective, because it overworks them, gives them fewer, shorter breaks between spells, and makes them slower and less incisive.

This is not what happened with Shane Warne!

It's true that Australia tended to only pick 3 specialist quicks. But they had Steve and Mark Waugh to bowl medium pace until they retired, and then Andrew Symonds and Shane Watson!

Shane Warne did not bowl at Southampton with a ball that was 10 overs old like Yasir Shah does! Shane Warne did not open the bowling in a Test at the SCG like Misbah did with Yasir Shah!

Yasir Shah as a stock bowler outside Asia is a trick by Misbah to play an extra batsman instead of a fourth quick. It is related to his mantra that he will only pick all-rounders who are good enough for selection as a batsman or bowler alone (which neither Watson nor Symonds or Mitch Marsh could dream of being).

It's a dumb strategy. Yasir Shah is 34, and Misbah has now tried this strategy in 13 different SENA Tests, and it has arguably worked in 2, at Lords and The Oval 4 years ago.

It's a strategy with a terrible success rate.

3 quicks were so overworked that they could not bowl more than 10 overs in first session of test in Eng.

It says more about the 3 quicks who were playing and a lot less about not having 4th quick.
 
He's also given up 190+ runs on 2 other occasions.

Frankly, I think this says more about his captains (190+ runs: 3 times under Misbah and 2 times under Azhar) than about Yasir. They insist on running him into the ground even in situations where the opposition has scored 500+ runs

Both Shadab and Naseem are most effective when they are bowling at 140+.

As was Mitchell Johnson. And in the series when his spells were restricted to 4 or 5 overs he maintained that pace and took wickets.

We all saw that most of the time the young quicks were bowling in the low 130s (Shaheen) and mid-upper 130s (Naseem) in England. Had they tried to bowl faster at the probable ages of 20 and 19 they would have quickly sustained stress fractures.

My template for these 3 Tests in England hasn't changed:

HOUR 1
With the wind: Shaheen 5 overs, Naseem 2 overs
Into the wind: Abbas 7 overs

HOUR 2
With the wind: Naseem 3 overs, Azhar 1 over, Faheem 3 overs
Into the wind: Faheem 3 overs, Shadab 4 overs

I would rather have Naseem and Shaheen bowl 15 overs at 140K than 24 overs at 132K.

3 quicks together could not bowl 10 overs in the first session of the test due to being tired?
 
If you set the qualification to 160 and greater

than Danish Kaneria and Muralitharan top the lit with 10 innings and Yasir comes at 3 with 9 innings.

Meanwhile, England's two olderst bowlers, both over 34, an age which junaids thinks all players should be put to pasture, were bowling 13 to 14 overs in one single spell, with even Amderson cranking it to over 140 and near to it on average
 
If only we could of played Shadab Khan over him in this Test series, we may have won the series even.
